Chapter 323
Ken took advantage of Zyla’s absence that evening and brought a lunch box into Olivia’s ward.
“Liv, this is supper.”
After putting it down, he could not stop himself from saying, “I’m not on John’s side. I’m just responsible for caring for him because he’s my patient.”
‘Patient?’
“Has he been discharged from the hospital?”
Ken looked at her with mixed feelings and sighed. “Liv, I’ve tried to tell you this many times before, but I’ve always gotten interrupted.”
“He had a concussion from a car accident two years ago and recovered after a month, but recently, he started having headaches again.”
Olivia was surprised. Every time she saw John, he was bursting with energy as if he could strangle her with just one hand.
Nothing about him made him seem like a patient.
Ken scoffed and said, “Karma. That’s what he deserves for treating you like this.”
Olivia said nothing. Mixed feelings rose in her.
She would be lying if she said she did not care, but she was not as panicked as before and was gloating a little now.
He certainly deserved it, but…
“Ken, how did he get involved in that car accident two years ago?”
Ken shook his head. “He didn’t mention it to anyone. I was abroad at the time, so I don’t know”
“I don’t think he was in Ocean City back then.”

Before Ken could finish his words, Zyla dashed into the ward
She struck Ken’s head with the thing in her hand A thumping sound came from the contact with his head.
“Ah! This is a murder attempt!”
“What if I kill you? What are you doing, disturbing Sis Liv all day? Trying to plead for that scumb*g’s sake again?”
Ken covered his head and said bitterly, “Hey. I didn’t come here to defend John. I’ve cursed him much more than you have.”
Zyla snorted. “I don’t believe it. Scold him to his face if you dare.”
Zyla thought Ken had dialed the wrong number and checked his phone after wrestling it out of his grasp. After confirming it was John, she lifted her thumb, impressed.
After hanging up the phone, Ken lifted his head. “Can you see how sincere I am now?”
“Yes. I’ll accept your meal for today. You can leave now.”
Ken did not mind her reaction. He smiled and nodded to them. “Enjoy your meal. I’ll excuse myself now.”
As soon as he left the ward, he strode toward the office.
Sure enough, just as he entered, he received a call from John.
“Ken, you sounded so happy scolding me. Have you scolded me enough yet?”
Ken had scolded John when John was not sober the past two times, so it had been
fine. However, this time…
He shivered and pondered how John was planning to punish him. Then, he heard something which left him dumbfounded
“Was she there? Was she happy to hear it?”
