Chapter 248 Zac leaned over, grabbed Oliviaâs hand, and put her hand on his chest. âLiv, I swear Iâll never lie to you. If I lie to you...â
Before he could finish, Olivia suddenly covered his mouth and shook her head, saying, âI donât want you to swear.â
âLiv...â
Zac froze as his heart raced. He also looked at Olivia with a more complicated look.
He endured it in his heart. âLiv, I might lose control of myself if this went on.â
However, Olivia could not read the look in his eyes. She let go and sniffed. âZac, I believe you. You donât have to swear.â
âZac...â
It was the first time Olivia had ever called him so affectionately, and Zacâs heart felt a pang as he let go of Oliviaâs hand and faked a cough.
âItâs great that you believe me. I have to go.â
When he coughed, Olivia thought he had a cold from rescuing herself and felt guilty.â Take good care of yourself. Donât let yourself fall sick.â
However, Zac could not stand her consecutive strikes, and his usually calm heart was already flustered.
It was the first time he wanted to run away from Olivia for fear that she would find out something was wrong with him.
He pretended to nod nonchalantly. âYes, Iâll pay attention.â
With that said, he turned around to walk out. However, Olivia suddenly asked, âBy the way, whereâs Johnny?â
âDid he know I almost died?â
Olivia knew John was probably more concerned about when Dorothy would come out, but... she could not help wondering.
Zac said indifferently without looking back, âHe knows something happened to you, but heâs busy with the company, so he canât visit you.â
âOh, I see.â
When Zac said what she already knew, Oliviaâs heart hurt for no reason.
She was buried alive because of him, and he could just turn a blind eye.
Then she laughed self-deprecatingly. It was silly of her.
Zac felt bad for Olivia but left without another word.
Zyla poured out the soup Zac had brought. âSis Liv, come and eat something.â
âOkay.â
âSis Liv, now that Dorothy is locked up, you can rest and take care of the baby without worry. How can the baby be born safely if you continue to worry so much?â
With that said, Zyla stirred the soup a little and brought it to the tray table. She took a spoonful and held it to Oliviaâs lips. âI want to be the babyâs godmother.â
Hearing Zyla mention the baby, Olivia tearfully opened her mouth and drank it. She forced a smile, saying, âYouâre right, Zy. Itâs time to worry about the baby.â
Olivia spent a few days in the hospital resting quietly.
These days, Zyla accompanied her every day, while Zac visited her occasionally. However, John never even showed up.
For some reason, it reminded her of when she had a miscarriage two years ago.
He also never showed up as if he had disappeared.
Olivia knew she was conflicted. She was afraid to see him but missed him when she did not see him.
Maybe she had Stockholm syndrome.
It happened to be a sunny day, but Zyla was not around. Olivia thought about it and decided to go downstairs to get some sun.
However, as soon as she walked out the door, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.
Johnny?
Just as she tried to catch up, she saw a man on crutches fall in front of her.
She had no choice but to help him up. However, when she looked again, there was no sign of the man in the corridor.
Did my eyes fool me? Come to think of it. Why would John run away from me...â
