    Back in Elegance Gardens, Olivia had a hot bath and thought about many things from the past.


    Including the scene of her falling into the swimming pool and getting saved by John.

    She felt like she had forgotten many things about the past, especially all her emotions toward John


    back then.


    However, at that moment, her heart ached for some reason. She finally realized that the man that she


    had known for the past twenty years was engraved into her bones and could not be forgotten that


    easily.


    She was afraid.


    Which was why she immediately pushed John away the moment she saw Zac.


    It was to cover the fact that she was about to tear up.


    The more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt toward Zac.


    Thinking of this, she got up, wiped her body, and changed into another set of pajamas to go


    downstairs.


    Not long after, she took two bowls of noodles and went to knock on the study room''s door.


    "Come in."


    Olivia pushed the door open and ced the tray on the empty space of the table. "I didn’t eat much


    earlier, so I cooked some noodles. I guessed you were hungry too, so I made you another bowl. Do you


    want some?"


    Zac looked over and saw her docile look. He could not help but smile. “It''s such a rare sight seeing you


    so docile. What''s wrong?"


    After saying that, she took one bowl of noodles and ate a huge bite. "It''s really delicious. Have a seat.”


    Olivia sat obediently beside him and ate her noodles carefully.


    "What is it?"


    "I..." Olivia pursed her lips. "I am here to apologize."


    "Apologize?"


    "Yeah." She looked up at him and bit her lips. “I know I was a little out of it earlier in the car, and it


    sounded as if I threw you under the bus. I’ve thought about it for some time, and I feel bad, so... I am


    here to apologize.”


    Zac pointed at the bowl. “You''re nning to apologize to me with a bowl of noodles?"


    "Huh? Is it too cheap?"


    Seeing how she looked, Zac had the idea to tease her.


    "Everyone uses luxurious delicacies to apologize, but you''re only using a bowl of noodles. What do you


    think?"


    Olivia was stunned. She blinked her eyes at him for a long moment and did not know how to answer.


    ‘I didn''t think of that...’


    Zac was afraid that she had taken him seriously, so he immediately patted her hand whileughing. "I


    am just messing with you. I’m not mad at you at all.”


    Olivia lowered her head and kept quiet. She did not seem to believe his words.


    "I''m serious. Why would I be mad at you?” Zac sighed. "I know what you did today was more than just


    revenge. It was also for my sake. If it wasn''t for you, I wouldn''t have been able to get the 5% equity,


    right?"


    “But...”


    Zac reached out to lift her chin to make her look at himself. "I am just a little worried that you might


    destroy yourself while fighting Dorothy, and I am scared...”


    He shook his head helplessly as he spoke. "Maybe I am too useless now. I feel like you don''t need my


    care and protection anymore. It feels like you are protecting me now, and I feel worthless to you."


    Hearing this, Olivia froze and quickly shook her head. "No, I want myself to be brave and smarter


    because of our current situation, so we can fight through this together. Doesn''t that sound about right?"


    Zac lowered his head and looked at his leg while smiling wryly. "I seem to have be more sensitive


    after the crash, and I tend to overthink. I feel like I am not worthy enough for you.”


    "Zac, we are on the same boat, so why talk about worthiness? Plus, if it wasn''t for you and John today,


    I wouldn’t have been able to escape from the trouble, no?”


    Hearing John''s name, Zac felt a trace of pain in his heart. He knew what Olivia meant. They were allies


    and friends, just not...
