Chapter 199
The Substitute Bride Doted by My Billionaire Husband
Chapter 199 Push her away In the hotel room, Marvin hugged Olive quitely.
The door was kicked open. Marvin raised his eyes and suddenly met Elvisâs narrow and deep eyes.
Elvis stood by the door, his falconâlike gaze swept around the room. Olive hugged Marvin with both hands, and Marvin hugged her shoulders.
Elvis let out a scoff and stepped forward. He grabbed onto Oliveâs arm and pulled her over.
Oliveâs body slammed into Elvisâs firm chest. The pain caused her to let out a frown. When she looked up, she saw Elvisâs gloomy face, her consciousness hastily returned.
âMr. Augustineâ¦â
Elvis lowered his eyes and looked at her. His thin lips drew a sarcastic arc.
âWhat? Is it surprising to see me? Did I disturb you?â
Olive looked at Elvis and then at Marvin. Only then did she realize that she was holding onto the wrong person.
âMr. Augustine, Iâ¦â She tried saying, but her words had failed her.
âWhereâs your mask? Elvis interrupted her.
Olive touched her face with her hands. The mask on her face was gone. Marvin had taken it off.
Olive was speechless and confused all at once.
âWhy donât you say something? Iâm awaiting your explanation.â
Olive looked at him. Elvisâs gaze was poring and cold. It fell sharply on her face, as if he wanted to see through her.
However, there as no superfluous expression on his face. Olive knew that Elvisâs wrath was the most terrifying sight to behold.
Marvinâs voice sounded.
âDonât make it difficult to her. I can explain everything that you need to know.â
âOh, okay. I kinda forgot that you were still here, my bad.â Elvis dragged Olive into the bathroom and locked her inside.
Olive quickly tapped on the door.
âWhy are you locking me here. Mr. Augustine, let me out! I can explain everything to you.â
Elvis ignored Olive. He stepped forward and grabbed Marvin on the collar.
âIâm giving you a chance to speak.â
âTo be honest, itâs just as you saw.â
Elvis let out a low laugh âWhy should I believe your words?â
Marvin was silent for a moment, then he said, âOliveâs blood is very special.
âHer mother had treated her with lots of medicinal herbs while she was alive. I know that.â Elvis chipped in.
Chapter 159 Push her away Marvin nodded understandingly.
âThen, do you know the mandala flower? The mandala flower is rumoured to be the realm between life and death. It is extremely poisonous. And itâs very hard to be found.â
âSay something useful!â Elvis interrupted impatiently.
âOlive wants to use the mandala to heal you. She was trying out the medicine.â Marvin added.
Elvisâs pupil shrank. He tightened his grip on Marvinâs collar and pressed him against the wall.
âWhat the fuck are you saying?â He questioned unbelievably.
âOlive was trying out the medicine. The first time she tried it out was the night that you had beaten me in the pharmacy. She passed out in my arms. This is her second time. The poison made her lose her sense of reasoning, so she mistook me for you.â Marvin explained and swallowed hard.
Elvisâs heart was clenched fiercely, and suddenly, his breathing became painful.
Marvin dipped his right hand into his pocket and brought out a piece of paper. On it was the equation that Olive had written down.
âElvis, Olive is risking her own life for you. She doesnât mind losing her life just to save you!â
Elvis let go of Marvin and took some steps backwards. Initially, a voice was telling him that Olive was refining medicines, but he had ignored it.
He didnât know that she had actually tried the mandala flowerâs poison!
Was she crazy?
âElvis, I can guarantee you that Olive can only have that poison in her system for one last time. If she tries it more than thrice, then her life will certainly come to an abrupt end. So please Elvis, before she considers carrying out the third test, push her away from your life. Only then will she reason with her brain and not her heart. Push her away from you, so that she can stay alive.â Marvin pleaded with a straight face.
Olive was locked in the bathroom the entire time. She kept knocking on the door, but no one opened it.
She wondered what the two men were doing to each other.
Although Olive was now conscious, her face was still pale. Oliveâs body swayed and she was about tofall She swiftly held onto the washstand with her hands. She shut her eyes and opened them again.
The door of the bathroom was opened and Elvis walked in.
Olive looked behind her and there was a handsome tall figure standing against the light.
Elvis walked in. He took off his black coat and draped it over her shoulders.
He carried her all the way out of the hotel and into the passengerâs seat of his RollsâRoyce phantom.
Elvis got into the driverâs seat. He turned on the ignition and the car galloped down the road smoothly.
The car was filled with silence, as neither of them uttered a word.
Elvis pressed his hand on the steering wheel. He focused his gaze on the road and said indifferently.
âYouâre aware that Marvin likes you, right?"
