Chapter 579 John caught up with her. âDonât do this. Your legs will hurt if you walk back home like this.â
âWhat do you think I should do, then?â
âWhen Wes sees that Iâm not back yet, heâll come to us.â
âWait? When?â Olivia shoved off his hand and shouted, âDo we have to wait all night?â
âA few hours.â
âJohn.â After staring at him for a long time, Olivia asked, âDid you plan all this? A million-dollar Maybach breaking down? Who are you kidding?
âYouâre too suspicious.
âIâm suspicious of you. If you do this to me again, I might even gain the ability to become a detective.â
With that, Olivia turned around and walked ahead.
John went to stop her without another word. The two pushed and pulled. Suddenly, it started pouring cats and dogs.
Then, Olivia heard the rumbling sound of thunder, making her shudder.
John quickly carried her and took her back to the car.
âDonât be afraid. Itâs all right.â
However, the thunder outside grew louder and seemed to get nearer.
Olivia shrunk into a ball and trembled in fear.
It was worse when she saw the man before her. The memory of her past in the rain flashed through her mind.
John was afraid she would feel cold and wanted to drape his coat on her, but it scared her that she stared at him and screamed.
âAhh! Donât come near me!â
âItâs me. Donât be afraid.â
âDonât you come over here!â Oliviaâs eyes were red, and she kept shaking her head. âDonât come near me! Youâre a devil! Donât catch me.â
Devil?
Johnâs heart skipped a beat, and he found it difficult to breathe.
He could see in her eyes that the fear was from deep down inside her.
She was genuinely afraid of him.
Only then did he realize he had hurt her so deeply...
Outside, the thunder rumbled, and John was before her. Olivia felt she was surrounded by danger and had nowhere to escape.
Suddenly, she opened the door and ran out.
The man before her was scarier than thunder.
John was a devil in rain, not a human!
It shocked him when she rushed out. He ignored the rain and ran after her.
She ran fast, and it was downhill on the mountain road. She slipped and fell to the ground. Blood gushed out of her knees.
She got up, still wanting to run, but she was a step late because John was hugging her.
âLiv, donât be afraid. I wonât hurt you.â
Olivia cried and shook her head. âNo! You will kill me. You always go crazy on rainy nights... Youâll lock me in a dark room and leave me to die.â
Listening to her mention what happened four years ago made John freeze.
Without further questioning, he carried her back into the car, raised the partition, turned on the warm air, and locked the door.
He was afraid she would run out again.
It was dark out here. What if there were wild animals?
Thus, he took no chances.
Seeing her still trembling, John hugged her tightly and said softly, âIâm sorry. Iâm really sorry. Donât be afraid.â
Olivia buried herself in his arms and sobbed.
Why?
Why on earth?
Why must she be entangled with this man?
Before, she had tried so hard to get him to see her, to get him back to her.
However, he ignored her existence.
Now, she had given up and hated him. She did not love him anymore and wanted to leave.
Why did he still have to haunt her?
Suddenly, she looked up with tears in her eyes as she roared, âJohn, why? Why do you have to go after me? Why donât you just go back to your Dorothy?â
