Chapter 908
Fred did not hurt his internal organs but had lost so much blood and hurt his bones that he was unconscious for a long time.
He was leaning against the head of the bed with pale lips. He almost got out of bed at the sight of Olivia's bandage on her arm.
"Liv, why are you hurt? Did Dorothy do this?"
Olivia shook her head. "I'm fine. Lie back and don't move. Be careful not to touch your wound."

Olivia glanced at his back suspiciously, feeling something strange.
"Liv, I suspect Dorothy set all this up."
Fred's words brought Olivia back to her senses. She sat on the edge of the bed and asked, "I've been meaning to ask you why you came to Ocean City. Did Dorothy trick you into coming here?"
"No one answered when I called. I tracked you down to find out you've been in the hospital all along."
Fred paused and continued saying, "Just then, I got a phone call saying you were dying and asked Lyla to come back and see you one last time."
Olivia frowned. "No way. I never got a call from you."
"I was skeptical because there are plenty of such scams. So I checked the number and found it to be from the city hospital's emergency room. I had no problem calling from a different number too.
"But I was still worried. I called Ken and Zac but couldn't get through."
Fred bit his lip like a child who had done something wrong. "Liv, I'm sorry. I was so worried that something had happened to you that I brought Lyla to Ocean City. I was also so worried that I might have overlooked something. That's why they found out about us."
