"What's wrong with that?" Olive retorted.
"No, just, didn't you think about staying in Jiangcheng? There, after all, is a big international city with more opportunities and if you stay here, you will improve more.”
Olive smiled gently. "Big city means big competition and pressure. I'm not afraid to tell you this. I've been looking for a job there for half a year and got nothing, so I have to run back in disgrace."
Alan looked at her quietly, with black eyes, dark and unpredictable.
She was lying.
According to Dave's information to him, five years ago, because of her excellent performance and outstanding abilities, she had three opportunities. One was to become a graduate student directly, the other was the invitation of Wanda to her, and the last one was that her internship company Boya had given her the chance to become a regular worker.
Wanda and Boya were well-known in the field, but she gave up three opportunities inexplicably, leaving Jiangcheng. No one knew the reason.
Why did Oliver telling a lie? What were you hiding?
Alan's eyes grew deeper and more complicated.
Olive was thinking that although she had his daughter, he had a fiancee. The gap between them was very big.
She was young and ignorant before, and wanted to adventure like moths chasing the fire. But now, she had too much to worry about.
The infusion was very useful. Three bottles of infusions finishing, apart from the weakness of the body, the fever seemed to have subsided a lot. The doctor prescribed several oral medicines to consolidate it.
But if she were Annie, Olive would not allow her to put on a drip easily. Although it worked quickly, it would destroy the immune function of the children if they had intravenous drop more often. It didn't matter for her because she was an adult.
Out of the hospital, Olive said thanks to Alan.
Alan's face was so bad that he seemed to be angry and asked, "Where do you live?"
In fact, he already knew her residence, and even saw an ambiguous scene. He just asked her deliberately. Her lie made him want to know, whether she would avoid it.
Just in Olive's opinion, how could she dare to let him take her home in person, after accompanying her to the hospital?
The two separated people, even if they had the most familiar and intimate relationship, would be alienated with time.
"Well, thank you but I have taken up too much of your time. I can go back by car myself." Besides, he was not familiar with the road, was he? The location of the hospital was still leading by his car navigation system.
