Chapter 744
Elegance Gardens.
When Zac came back, he was still injured, looking like a mess and haggard.
"Sir, what's the matter with you?"
Zac waved. "I'm fine. Where's Liv?"
"Miss is in her room and probably asleep. Do you want me to wake her up?"
"No thanks. I'm just asking."
Mrs. Simmons saw that he was wounded. "Oh, Sir, why are you bleeding? Wait here. I'll take care of this for you. No... I’d better wake Miss up."
With that said, she wanted to go upstairs.
Zac stopped her. "Mrs. Simmons, I'm fine. You don't need to be so nervous.
I only scratched it by accident."
However, Mrs. Simmons would not listen. She yelled upstairs, "Sir, why do you have skid marks on your wheelchair? Did you fall? What on earth..."
Before Mrs. Simmons could finish, Olivia opened the door and rushed downstairs. "What happened?"
Mrs. Simmons glanced at Olivia. "Miss, why don't you come downstairs next year?"
"Mrs. Simmons!"
"I'm going to run Sir's bath. The first aid kit is in the cabinet in the living room. Go get it yourself, Miss."
Mrs. Simmons chuckled and went upstairs once she finished speaking.
She knew there was no way Miss would ignore Sir. She even said she did not like him. Most couples fell more in love with each other over time. There was no way they had no feelings for each other when they were together everyday.
Olivia took the first aid kit, pouted, and looked at him guiltily. "I'm sorry. I didn't expect this..."
"It's not your fault. It was an accident."
"Was it really an accident? I... don't believe it."
Zac chuckled. "What's so hard to believe? Why would I lie to you?"
"You're afraid I'll feel guilty."
Hearing this, her eyes watered slightly, and she patted him with a smile. "I believe you, of course. We agreed to trust each other, didn't we? Besides, Dorothy's logic is ridiculous."
"What's her logic?"
Olivia told him about what happened in the washroom.
"I think she's good at comforting herself. I'm no match for her."
"I think it's something we can take advantage of."
Olivia froze. 'What do you mean?"
"I found someone we can use in the future during my days in Legal Department."
"Who?"
"Elaine Simpson."
Olivia blinked, puzzled. "Elaine Simpson? But she's the most hostile toward you. She's with Fabian."
Zac said with a half-smile, "She's useful because she's on Fabian's side."
