Getting Him Hooked: Mr. Freeman’s Indifferent Sinner Wife novel Chapter 68

Chapter 68

Zac nodded. “Well, sorry. I had a court case this morning, so I called Johnny. He… didn’t bully you, did he?” Recalling what happened, Olivia pretended to be calm and looked away.

She forced a smile. “No.”

Zac knew she was lying, but he did not want to expose her lie, so he did not ask further. He helped her set up the table and put the bowl of porridge on it.

‘This porridge is made with chicken soup, which is very nutritious.”

“Thank you.”

Sometimes, she felt like she would have already died countless times if Zac had not saved her again and

again.

However, she could not repay him with anything besides her thanks.

Her right hand was covered in red marks from John’s tie, and the cut on her palm looked even more frightening.

Her body was, after all, broken.

Olivia lowered her head to drink the porridge until she finished a bowl. She felt more alive as she handed the bowl to Zac. “Do you have any more of this?”

Zac noticed her appetite and nodded. “I’ll fill your bowl with some more.”

“Thank you.”

It was another plain thanks.

Just as Zac was about to speak, Olivia suddenly said, “Zac, I’m pregnant.”

Zac’s hand shuddered, and he almost spilled porridge on the table. A strange feeling arose in him.

He put the new bowl of porridge down in front of her. He repressed his emotions, trembling. “What are you going to do?”

“Olivia, your health…”

“I know. I have terminal cancer and can only live for another six months. But maybe I’ll live longer than expected.”

“Aren’t you planning to get revenge on Dorothy?”

“Yes. This is a way to get revenge on both of them. And as long as I live, I’ll work on finding out the truth and putting Dorothy in jail!”

A murderer like her should be punished.

Zac did not know what he should do. It was pointless to try to advise her. He could only nod his head. ” Okay. Let me know if you need my help.”

“Why are you helping me?”

Her question stunned Zac. Before he could answer, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the door. Then, someone pushed the ward door open hard. John, who was wearing a black windbreaker, dashed into the room.

Noticing Zac, John mocked him. “Zac, are you trying to be her knight in shining armor?”
