Chapter 836 John made several calls that night, but they were all rejected by Olivia.
She did not even go to the hospital the next day to avoid seeing the man. The driver delivered Kateâs meal while Ken came to her home to treat Sam.
The hospital.
John paced back and forth in the ward. âSheâs not here yet?â
Wes shook his head. âIt looks like Madam wonât be coming to the hospital today. Even Ms. Lucasâ meal was delivered.
And Sam didnât come to the hospital either.â
John banged his fist on the wall and snapped, âDid you find out who she met yesterday?â
âIâm still looking into it.â
âF*ck off!â
She must have met someone yesterday, or she could not have changed her attitude all of a sudden.
Who could it be?
The first person to come to his mind was Xavier, but Wes had already checked. Xavier was not in Ocean City.
However, who else could it be but Xavier?
It suddenly occurred to him that Olivia had called him a liar. Could someone have approached her under the guise of Mr.M?
Johnâs expression changed dramatically. He must be trying to use her against him. D*mn it!
He got up and walked out to see if he could get anything out of Kate.
He saw Kate talking to the computer as soon as he reached the door.
âAre you coming tomorrow? The doctor says I can get out of bed and move tomorrow, even though Iâll be in a wheelchair.â
âYeah, okay. Iâll see what I can do tomorrow. Iâll come if I have time, the day after tomorrow if I donât have time. Okay?â
John immediately recognized the familiar voice as Olivia and rushed in to grab the computer.
However, Kate noticed him and hurriedly closed the computer as soon as he entered. âJohn, what are you doing here?â
âGive me the computer.â
Kate held the computer. âWhat? If you want to use the computer, let Wes get one for you. Why take mine?â
âWere you video-chatting with her just now?â
Kate looked away, afraid to make eye contact with him. *1... I donât know what youâre talking about.â
âGive it to me!â Johnâs expression was harsh, and he looked terrifying. âDonât make me repeat it!â
Kate got scared and handed him the computer anyway. However, Olivia hung up when John opened it.
Looking at the dark screen, John tossed the computer into her arms and glared at her. âWhat did she tell you?â
âShe didnât say much. Just that sheâs not coming today.â
âWhy?â
âShe didnât say.â
Why was this woman so unwilling to trust him now?
What angered him the most was that she trusted anyone except him. Something bad was going to happen if this went on!
Elegance Gardens.
Olivia was playing with Sam in the yard, thinking about yesterdayâs events. She could not help getting distracted, and the ball Sam threw hit her right on her head.
âGodmother, are you alright?â
Sam ran over. âIâm sorry. I didnât do it on purpose.â
Olivia snapped back to herself and rubbed his head. âItâs not your fault. I got distracted. Shall we take a break and have a glass of orange juice?â
âYeah, okay.â
Sam was worried when he saw her on edge. âGodmother, are you still thinking about Godfather?â
Olivia shook her head. âNo.â
âIs it because of Uncle Zac? Youâve been down since you got back from Uncle Zacâs place yesterday. Did Uncle Zac say something?â
Remembering Zacâs attitude, she sighed.
There had been so much going on lately that she was a little confused.
The most urgent thing was the auction tomorrow. She had not given Mr. M an answer yet. Was she going or not?
While thinking, she heard a voice at the door.
âMr. Freeman, you canât barge in like this!â
âMrs. Simmons, donât stop me. I have to talk to Liv...â
Oliviaâs bright eyes darkened. âHeâs here!â
