Chapter 864


    At the hospital.


    “Ian! Ian! Don’t run!”


    Olivia jolted up from the bed and grabbed in front of her in a daze. She nearly fell off the bed when


    someone grabbed her and stopped her from tumbling over.


    “Don’t move.”


    Olivia heard the voice and tried to open her blurry eyes to look. When she realized that the person


    talking was John, she flung his hand away and turned around, refusing to look at him.


    “Where’s Ian?”


    “Don’t worry, he didn’t get on the ne.”


    Hearing that, Olivia breathed a sigh of relief.


    It was great that he was still at Ocean City.


    “Liv, could you stop being angry at me?”


    Olivia did not respond, but lied down and faced her back toward John.


    John frowned. “I was nning to tell you after I found him. I didn’t n to hide this from you.


    “What’s with youtely? You knew your health was weak, so why won’t you rest? If your old ailment


    comes back, it’ll be very troublesome. You should stay here and be good these next few days. Don’t


    worry about anything else for now.”


    Olivia sneered and scoffed. “Are you trying to care for me, Mr. Freeman, or are you trying to keep me


    hostage here?”


    John got up and went around till he was in front of Olivia. “Cut it out, Liv.”


    Olivia turned around and showed her back to John once more.


    She remembered his lies, she remembered him sneaking around and following her.


    She would never ever easily believe this man ever again.


    “Olivia Larson!”


    “What, are you going to hit me again? Just do it if you want to! You do that very oftenst time anyway.”


    John really did not know what to do with her. Since their rtionship was so bad, he could not act the


    same as before and be overtly harsh toward her, or the gap between them would grow bigger and


    bigger.


    However, with Olivia’s personality…


    If he did not act harshly, would that woman even listen to him?


    “I said I’d never hurt you again, and I meant it.”


    “You don’t have to exin so much to me. I’ll never believe you.”


    John sat by Olivia’s bedside and caressed her head gently. “Liv, I don’t care if you believe me or not,


    but what I say won’t change. I’m only exining this to you because I don’t want us to repeat history.


    “Our history happened because we didn’t exin things to each other, and that was how Dorothy Ellis


    sabotaged us from within, isn’t it? Now that there’s another troublemaker beside you, I worry for your


    health. That’s why I…”


    Olivia flung his hand away and sat up from the bed. She red coldly at him and said, “Because I don’t


    want to repeat history with you, I will never believe you ever again. Back then, I loved you, I trusted


    you, and that was why I killed the people around me.”


    A dash of loneliness shed through John’s eyes. He got up without exining further. “Doctor asked


    you to rest well. Since you don’t wanna see me, I’ll take my leave.”


    When John walked out, he turned back in the middle of his tracks and said, “Liv, be careful of the


    people around you.”


    Olivia got increasingly annoyed as she heard him speak. She grabbed an ashtray that was beside her


    and threw it out.


    “Scram!”


    Even though John helped her find Ian, the wound in her heart was still raw.


    She still wanted to believe that he had changed, but the truth was…


    He would still do all he could to achieve what he wanted. He would stalk her and force her…


    He was still that John Freeman. He did not change.


    Olivia felt like she was too dumb back then. When she realized it, she really loathed everything.


    She raised her hand to wipe away her tears. Damn it. Why did her heart still ache so much?


    Suddenly, there was a shadow at the door.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    Olivia thought John had returned. She could not help but yell, “Why have you returned?”


    The person at the door had a fright and backed up. However, he did not leave.
