Getting Him Hooked: Mr. Freeman’s Indifferent Sinner Wife Chapter 16


    John started to feel anxious as the thunder rumbled menacingly outside and he threw the pen in his


    hand onto the ground.Wes stole a nce outside of the window and lightning shed across the dark


    sky. Followed by it was a massive downpour that dripped heavily on the ss windows.He pursed his


    lips and carefully reminded John, “Sir, Madam is still…”Before he managed to finish his sentence, John


    red at him coldly and he became too afraid to continue speaking.He had good intentions but it was


    not worth provoking John because of this.John was already annoyed and now that Wes reminded him


    about it, he could not stop thinking about Olivia who was still kneeling in the garden.He was anticipating


    seeing the woman begging, but she was surprisingly quiet, as if she was admitting guilt to her


    actions.This made him even more irritated until the point where he did not even know why.Just as he


    stood up to take a nce through the window, someone knocked on the study room door and


    Dorothy’s timid voice came from outside.“Johnny… I am a little scared, can you apany me?”Her


    body was weak, she was a timid person all along, and it was inevitable for her to feel nervous under


    such bad weather.He then stood up and opened the door and supported the frail Dorothy.Seeing her


    pale face and the terrifying state she was in, he felt so sorry for her.“Dolly, you are still injured, why did


    you leave your room?”Dorothy leaned on him and bit her lip. “I didn’t want to trouble you, but I am really


    terrified by the lightning and thunder… They bring back some painful memories to me…”‘Painful


    memories?’John was stunned. ‘Olivia said the same thing before.’“Johnny, my legs are getting wobbly


    and my chest hurts, can you carry me back?”John nodded and bent down to carry her up.Back in the


    guest room, John sat by the side of the bed and let Dorothy lean in his arms while heforted her.


    “Sleep well, I will be here with you.”Dorothy was upset when she saw John not sitting in bed but she


    dared not force him either.At that point, another thunderstruck came through and Dorothy eximed


    out of fear and hugged John’s arm tightly. “Johnny… I’m scared.”“I… I can see my mother beating me


    up, sob… she’s hitting me with the broom and I am covered in blood, I’m afraid…”John was already in


    a mess mentally and it got worse once Dorothy started crying. At the same time, he felt pitiful towards


    her when she was sobbing about her sorrowful past.“Don’t be afraid, I am here.”“Johnny, it’s good toBelongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    have you.”Shey in his arms and murmured.Yet in her heart, she was as triumphant as ever.‘Heh,


    Olivia Larson, don’t even dream about Johnny saving you. I shall see what you can do this time!’The


    heavier the rain and the louder the thunder, the more excited Dorothy was.If this went on, let alone


    someone who had knife wounds, even if it was a healthy person, he or she might not be able to endure


    it.Once she looked up, she found John staring out of the window and her mood soured


    immediately.‘How can he still think about the b*tch out there now?’She frowned and made a painful


    expression then said in a weak tone, “Johnny, my chest hurts…”“Does your wound hurt?”She shook


    her head. “I don’t know, it’s just a throbbing pain.”Tears fell out of her eyes once again while she was


    speaking, as if she was heavily wronged.“Johnny, I am sorry, it’s because of me that’s why you are in


    such an awkward situation, not to mention causing a conflict between you and Liv… Is she okay?”“It’s


    fine Dolly, take care of yourself first.” John covered her body with the nket and wanted to close the


    curtains for her. “I’ll close the curtains.”Yet, just as he was about to move, Dorothy grabbed his


    sleeve.“Johnny, let it be. This way, the first ray of sunshine after the storm can shine into the room as


    soon as possible.”That being said, Dorothy looked down and her tears kept on falling as she spoke,


    “Johnny, I’ve been hoping for us to be like the rainbow that shines after the rain and that we can be


    together after going through so many obstacles. We can do it, right?”John was annoyed by her


    continuous crying but he still endured it after remembering the fact that the miscarriage was the reason


    for her emotional instability. He then forced himself to say, “Yes.”His patience was limited, despite the


    subject being Dorothy.However, in order to assure her, he still sat back in bed and held her in his arms


    whileforting her gently. “Sleep tight.”Dorothy noticed him being in a bad mood as he was frowning


    the entire time which made her uneasy.Thinking of this, she could not help but hug him tighter, for fear


    that he would go out and look for Olivia once she fell asleep.John finally got out of her room at 5 a.m.,


    he then stood in the study room and smoked continuously, one cigarette after another.The rain was still


    pouring heavily and the thunder continued growling.‘Olivia Larson is indestructible, anyone else would


    die, but not her!’‘She should’ve known that I would never forgive her when she had an affair with


    another man two years ago!’‘This woman is cheap by nature and her ego intes whenever she is


    treated well, so I shall never show mercy to her.’Suddenly, Wes ran into the room while panting heavily.


    “Sir, bad news, Madam has passed out.”‘Passed out?’John shook his hand a little and the cigarette


    ashes fell onto the floor. He sneered. “Pretending to be dead is her best trick.”“Madam seemed to have


    stopped breathing…”It was as if his heart skipped a beat, he turned to Wes and saw him nodding. “I’ve


    already called the ambnce and they are on the way.”‘That’s impossible, she cannot die.’‘She is the


    indestructible Olivia, anyone in this world would have died and will get injured, but not her!’John’s heart


    trembled. He threw the ashtray on the ground and snorted. “Huh, I shall see what is she up to this


    time!’’That being said, he quickly walked down and he even staggered a little as he went down the


    stairs.Once he opened the door, the chilly wind blew in together with the rain and dripped on his


    face.Olivia was leaning against a rock, her legs still in a kneeling position. Her hair clung to her face to


    the extent that her expression could not be seen properly.He looked down at the woman on the ground


    and kicked her.“Olivia Larson, stop pretending! I’m not falling for your tricks!”“Olivia, get up!”The woman


    on the ground did not give him any response and he started to panic. He quickly squatted down and


    pushed Olivia’s shoulder but he drew back his hand as if he got shocked by electricity.Her body was


    cold and stiff, just like…a corpse.After a few seconds, he reached out to check her breath.It was weak,


    but she was still breathing.He let out a sigh of relief and sneered. “I knew it, how could the


    indestructible Olivia die?”‘She did the same thing to deceive me thest time and her breath was so


    weak as if she was about to die. This time, I will not be fooled again!’He did not take an umbre and


    continued standing still in the rain.When the ambnce arrived, the medic team ced Olivia on a


    stretcher and got her into the vehicle, followed by John.The medic team performed emergency


    treatment on her along the way but the ECG machine was showing an ominous straight line without


    any beeps.
