Chapter 840
It was unknown whether he was afraid of her hating him to the core, but John woke up. His half-closed eyes were covered by his wet lashes. His voice was hoarse and a little sarcastic. "Olivia, are you... taking this opportunity to vent your anger?"
Olivia breathed a sigh of relief at the voice. "Why are you pretending to be dead when you're not even dead? Did you learn it from Dorothy?"
’I learned it from you."
’Me?"
John smirked. "Yeah, I learned to play dead... from you."
When Olivia realized the man was insinuating her fake death, she became furious instantly. "Take a taxi home since you’re in good spirits."
With that said, she got up to leave.
John grabbed her hand. "Liv, I feel so bad... Don't leave me. Hmm?”
Olivia pretended to be heartless, so she relented when John begged her.
Sam and Mrs. Simmons happened to run out. Together, they brought John back to the room.
’Mrs. Simmons, help me get him into the bathroom."
The man was so wet that they could not keep his clothes. They could only warm him up in a hot bath and see if he caught a cold later.
’Sam, call Mr. Lucas and ask him to come over."
’Yeah, okay.’
After getting John into the bathtub, Mrs. Simmons went out, leaving Olivia and John alone.
’Are you still awake? Take off your clothes and run the bath. The towel's here. You can dry yourself later. Call me when you're done."
Olivia was about to leave when John grabbed her and muttered. 'I don't have the strength. Help me..."
’John, do I look like I will help you? If you cant do it yourself, sleep in the bathtub and wait for Ken to help you."
With that said, she shook off his hand and walked out.
She happened to run into Sam in the hallway.
’Godmother, Mr. Lucas says he has an operation later and can't come over until it's done. He wants you to check the wound and take his temperature and so on..."
Olivia handed Sam the thermometer. "You can do it. Undress him and let him take a bath too."
