Chapter 824
Olivia looked over and saw a figure crossing the hallway. She quickly put down the orange and went after the person.
"Zac?'
Zac awkwardly leaned on the wall with one hand and spun the wheelchair with the other. However, no matter how hard he turned the wheel, the wheelchair remained stuck in the door.
With a frown, Olivia held his wheelchair. "1'11 help you."
"No!" Zac snapped.
After yelling, he realized he seemed to be overreacting. He lowered his head, afraid of looking at her. "Sorry, rm...”
"Zac, do we have to live like strangers? We are a married couple now. You being like this..."
Olivia bit her lips and approached him. "What happened that night was just a trivial matter. Haven’t we already talked about it?
"Recently, I have had no time to visit you because of Kate and Sam. I don’t mind it. Please don't do this, okay?"
Zac’s hands gripped the wheelchair's tires. His veins were bulging, making him look scary.
He remained silent for a while before lifting his head as he looked at her, lonely and alienated.
"Liv, this matters a lot to me."
"Zac..."
Zac's usually energetic and handsome face had turned haggard in just a few days.
His emotions must have been torture. It was evident from his tangled, thick beard.
Olivia felt terrible because she did not expect that what happened that night would impact Zac so much.
Zac, I’ve been so tired recently because I barely have enough time to sleep
"You know about what happened to Kate and Zac. Moreover, John did get shot twice for saving me. I can't ignore him. So, I hope you will take care of yourself and not make me worry, okay?"
Olivia pursed her lips. "Dorothy and those people will make a move soon. Let's not have conflict between us anymore, okay?"
She sounded like she was begging Zac. However, to Zac, her plea was more like torture instructions.
It sounded like she cared about everyone's emotions except his now.
He seemed to have been abandoned by her...
Self-reproach and gloom hung over him. He felt sadness surging within and suffocating him.
Suddenly, Olivia sniffled and asked, "I have something to ask you face-to- face. It’s about what happened four years ago."
