Olivia pretended to be conflicted as she pushed him away. "Please let me think about it."
She got into the car, but Warren gripped the car door, refusing to let her leave. "Don't go, please."
"I have my concerns. If I knew that you'd be here, I wouldn't have come over today. I can't think straight right now. Can you let go and let me think about it for now?"
"You have to stop ignoring my messages."
"Alright."
It was only then that Warren let go of the car door. Before stepping on the gas pedal, Olivia even put on a hesitant look. She looked like she was about to cry.
The best way to deal with people like Warren was to leave them hanging. She would let him think about it on his own, and he would constantly debunk and rebuild his theories.
He would be conflicted, but she had to seem even more conflicted than him.
In the next phase, he would think of her as a tragic person. He wouldn't be able to break free from his feelings of pity toward her. Then, she could carry out her new plan.
Her best tactic was to affect his mind.
Today, she had to perform acupuncture for Marina. To carry out the next treatment plan, she asked Marina to get an X-ray at the hospital and go through some checkups.
Olivia put on her mask in the car before hurrying to the hospital.
She had just entered the lobby when a pale figure fainted in front of her. Fortunately, Olivia reacted quickly. She supported the person in time so the person wouldn't fall.
When she wrapped her arm around the person's waist, she felt that this woman was quite skinny. Her waist was extremely slender.
Had this woman lost too much weight because of extreme beauty standards? If not, then she probably had a severe illness. After all, Olivia was also very skinny back when she had chemo.
A normal person didn't have to lose as much weight as celebrities did just to make themselves look smaller on screen.
As the woman leaned in Olivia's arms, Olivia pushed the woman's strands of hair away. She saw the woman's pale skin and thin neck, and she could see every vein under the woman's skin.
What a frail person!
That was Olivia's first thought.
When she noticed Olivia glancing at the report in her hands, she subconsciously held it closer to stop Olivia from peeking.
"Sorry, Florence. The smell inside was a little too much for me, so I wanted to come out to wait for you. I almost fainted just now, but this lady fortunately helped me up."
"Oh, you. You're already in ill health, so you shouldn't run around recklessly in the future. If you tripped and fell, what if…"
The woman called Florence glanced at Olivia. Then, she stopped halfway through her sentence. "Thank you very much."
Olivia retracted her hands. "No problem. Her body is very weak, and she has low blood sugar. Do remember to eat breakfast."
Molly wanted to say something else, but Florence dragged her away.
Olivia watched as Molly left. Judging by her pulse, Olivia could see that the woman had been pregnant for a month or so.
She must have come for a checkup today, and she had her blood drawn on an empty stomach, so she almost fainted.
Still, there was something odd about that woman's body.
