Chapter 912
Olivia thought that the man’s voice sounded quite familiar, so she brought her hand up to rub her eyes. Finally, she could faintly make out the silhouette.
"Xavier Hemsworth?"
Seeing that Olivia had finally recognized him, Xavier smirked teasingly and said, "I thought you had long forgotten about me.”
"How could I?"
Olivia smiled awkwardly, took the glass from him, and took a big gulp." Why are you here?"
"I missed you, so I came back to see you."
Olivia laughed. She wanted to put down the glass but she felt like she could not really control her movements. So, she could not help but frown," Why is my vision blurry? Why am I dizzy and lightheaded?"
Xavier helped Olivia stabilize herself and said, "Lie down, you were injected with too high a dose of sedative, and the effects of the medication haven't passed yet. It’ll be over soon. You're fine."
"Sedative?"
"Yeah, someone injected you with sedatives when you were asleep. I’ve caught the person and handed her over to Mr. Lucas."
After hearing that the culprit had been handed over to Ken, Olivia did not think too much about it.
She did not even need to think to know that the only person in Ocean City who wanted to harm her was no one else other than Dorothy Ellis.
"You saved me?"
Xavier cocked his eyebrow. "Why? Are you so touched you want to marry me to repay my good deed?"
"Why are you still so silly?"
"I heard you and Mr. Quinton are getting a divorce, so I was thinking that I now have a chance again, so... Here I am on my best behavior to remind you once more that I exist."
Olivia had always felt like she did not know if Xavier was telling the truth.
To put it simply, this man gave her the feeling that he was too complicated. She could not see through him, and she could never get a hold of what he was thinking.
Olivia knew that he was just trying to make her feel better, but she really could not muster up a smile, and could not let go of it in her heart.
Dorothy Ellis failed this time, but she would definitely try it again.
She had no idea when that next time would be.
Xavier stuffed a slice of orange into her mouth. "Look at you, frowning every day, and now, you look a few years older! Don’t worry. I’m here. No one can hurt you or Lyla. Trust me. Okay?"
Then, he caressed Olivia's frown to undo it. "I know I did things in the past that hurt you but I swear, I won't push you again. Okay?"
Alas, Xavier saved her before, and he had just saved her again as well.
She should let the past stay in the past.
Olivia smiled and nodded, "Okay. I trust in you, and I trust you.”
At the same time, a lanky figure appeared in the doorway, watching the scene unfold in the room with his fists tightly clenched.
