Getting Him Hooked: Mr. Freeman's Indifferent Sinner Wife

Chapter 5

be.’The hospital.Johnny had tucked Dorothy in bed. However, she jolted awake once more when she heard the clap of thunder.She tugged John’s sleeve as she sobbed. “Johnny, can you stay here with me? I’m scared.” John lowered his head to glance at her, yet he had Olivia on his mind.‘That woman is also scared of thunder. Is she alright in the villa?’After they got married, she would run into his arms like a spooked rabbit whenever there was thunder. Anyone would definitely want to pamper her after seeing such a pitiful sight.Before John could continue his thoughts, another flash of lightning tore through the sky outside the window. Dorothy hid herself in John’s arms in a panic.She even yelped in pain because she had grazed her wound with that movement. Her frail body shook violently in John’s arms.Immediately after, she lifted her head, her face soaked with tears. “Johnny, don’t leave me, okay?”John felt his heart soften. He sat down on the bed and held Dorothy. As he patted her shoulder softly, he said gently, “I won’t leave. Don’t be scared. You’ll start bleeding again if you keep grazing your wound.”Dorothy nuzzled against his chest obediently and said sweetly, “Johnny, are you… worried about Liv?”Johnny frowned when he heard that name.“If you’re worried about her, you should go accompany her.

Do you want to lie down?”She had lost the child in her belly, so did not have anything to use to keep John with her.Now, she had to make another one so Olivia would not get the chance.John did not move. He answered indifferently, “Go to bed. I’m fine.”He did not like having too much physical contact with Dorothy. This was already his limit.Whenever he closed his eyes, the scene of that woman asking for a divorce would replay.‘Why am I thinking about her again?’He did not love her anymore, so why did his heart feel like it had been stabbed? It was difficult to breathe.At this moment, Wes pushed the door open and said urgently, “Sir, the company is requesting an emergency meeting.”“What happened?”“They said thunder struck the electrical network, and the entire east of the city has suffered a power outage. There are also landslides in some of the areas. We can’t contact any of the delivery people, and I’m afraid
