Chapter 373
When She Stops Playing Nice
Chapter 373
Noah was really asking the obvious.
âDid I!â Olivia played dumb
Noah said solemnly, âOlivia, after you return to the Miller family, you will only be my sister in my heart. Donât worry, I donât have any other thoughts about you,â
Olivia smiled awkwardly. âAlright, Noah.â
âAlright, letâs just make things clear.â Noah did not say anything else and continued driving.
When they returned to the Miller family, Olivia saw an excited James. He had been in a wheelchair for more than half a year. Now that he could move freely, he was extremely happy.
When he saw Olivia, James excitedly went forward and grabbed Olivia. He gave Olivia a big hug. âMy good sister! Thank you. If you hadnât recommended me for treatment, Iâm afraid I wouldnât have been able to stand up so quickly!â
Olivia patted Jamesâs back and said, James, itâs good that you can walk. The past is dark and you canât chase after it. The future is promising!â
James was silent. In the past six months, he had suffered too much mental torture. He was very happy that his legs had recovered. However, he could not let the past pass just like that. It was the adulterous couple, Gabriel and Gina, who had almost crippled him. He had to take revenge on them. He had to make them pay at all costs!
âJames?â Oliviaâs voice pulled James back from his thoughts.
James came back to his senses. âSit down and eat first
âOkayâ
After dinner, James went out for a walk. He went out for a few hours and did not come back. This made Ella a little worried, so she called James.
âJames, where are you? Why arenât you home yet? Is it because your legs are not feeling well?â Ella asked rather tactfully.
After all, the attending doctor had said that James still needed to recuperate for the time being. However, James felt that he had recovered and was walking at high intensity.
On the other end of the line, Jamesâs tone was deep. Tm fine. Iâm not feeling unwell. Iâm just taking a walk outside. Iâll be back after Iâm tired. Donât worry about me. Itâs getting late. Ella, go to sleep first.â
âAlright.â Ella hung up the phone. Although she was sleepy, James was not back yet, which made Ella feel worried.
Olivia sat beside Ella. She placed her hand on Ellaâs shoulder and said, âElla, go and rest first. Iâll wait for James to come back in the living room.â
Ella was very gentle. âOlivia, youâre already very tired from the long flight today. How can I let you wait for James to come back? Iâll wait here!â
Ellaâs heart was filled with Olivia, her caring little darling. It was a ridiculously wrong decision for her to abandon Olivia previously. Reality proved that her biological daughter, Gina, was inferior to her nonâbiological daughter. Olivia.
Olivia shook her head. âElla, I slept for a long time on the plane today. Iâm full of energy now. Moreover, Iâve been overseas for two days. I still need to get rid of the jet lag and Iâm not tired at all. You should go and rest first. I think James should be back soon. I probably donât have to wait long.â
Ella was so tired that she could not help but agree. Then, she went upstairs to sleep.
About half an hour later, James walked back, drenched in sweat.
Olivia stood up and said in surprise, James? You went for a run?â
Before James could answer, he suddenly fell to the ground in front of Olivia. Olivia was shocked and went forward to help James up.
Chapter 373
Unexpectedly, Jamesâs reaction was especially intense. âDonât come near me! Go away. I can get up on my own.â
Olivia was shocked.
If he could get up, so be it. Why was he so fierce? What was wrong with him? Olivia could not help but want to roll her eyes.
Therefore, she silently watched as James struggled to raise his body a little before falling back down. This repeated more than a dozen times.
James suddenly went crazy. Thatâs impossible. Havenât I recovered? Why canât I stand up again? Did the doctor lie to me?â
Just now, when he was walking outside alone, he was walking normally. Suddenly, his limbs were numb, and he could not move. He fell to the ground. The passersâby wanted to help him up, but he also rejected them. He sat on the ground for a long time before he felt better. Eventually, he forced himself to get up and walked home.
âNo, no,
I donât want to be a cripple, I donât want to James started to beat his legs in despair.
Olivia pretended to be concerned and squatted down. She held Jamesâs hand and comforted him. âJames, donât be agitated. Perhaps youâre just tired from walking. Itâs okay, Why donât you sit on the ground and rest for a while?â
James knew very well what was wrong with his body. Something was wrong. It was too wrong.
He was about to say something when he suddenly felt suffocated. He started to clutch his chest and fall back.
Olivia was not very panicked. She knew that Jamesâs almost paralyzed appearance was ânormalâ.
She pretended to be at a loss. âJames? James, are you alright? Hold on, Iâll send you to the hospital immediately!
At the hospital
James did not know how long he had been unconscious. When he woke up, the sky outside the window was still dark. Olivia was guarding the bed.
When Olivia saw James wake up, she let out a sigh of relief and said, James, itâs good that youâre awake. You scared me to death. Itâs too late. My brothers and mother should still be resting. Iâll take care of them here. That should be enough. Thatâs why I havenât called them yet and asked them to come over.â
She tried to squeeze out two tears.
James looked at the âsensibleâ Olivia and suddenly felt sorry for her. âOlivia, youâre my good sister. Thank you. Did I scare you just now?â
Olivia shook her head. âNo. By the way, James, the doctor said that you were poisoned with thallium, causing your limbs to be numb and your consciousness to be unclear.â
âThallium poisoning? Then what about now?â James cried.
Jamesâs eyes widened in shock.
âThe doctor gave you the medicine. You still have to observe the subsequent situation,â Olivia lied,
Jamesâs eyes lost focus. Thallium poisoning. Even if he received timely treatment, he would not have long to live. Who would poison him? Who wanted his life?
âGina, it must be Ginal Otherwise, it must be Gabriel. They know that I know that the person who caused my car accident was Gabriel. Theyâre afraid that Iâll take revenge on them at all costs. Therefore, theyâre going all out to kill me!â James became agitated
Moreover, Gina and Gabriel were both powerful and influential. Wouldnât it be easy to get some thallium?
Olivia was really surprised. She originally wanted to make up some lies to make James think that it was Gina who did it. Unexpectedly, James, who was blinded by hatred, did not need Oliviaâs guidance at all.
