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

Chapter 9

always thought that even if he had another woman or even if he hated her, he wouldnever…She remained seated on the ground with blank eyes until Zac came.Zac wanted to stay out of it, but he felt sorry for Olivia and decided to buy her dinner when he thought about how she had begged him to keep her illness a secret.However, he had only just turned the corner when he saw Olivia sitting in a pool of blood, hereyes blank.Zac quickly put the meal aside, picked her up off the floor, carried her back to the room, andcalled the doctor.When the doctor arrived, they looked at the drooping flesh on her right hand and could not help but frown and scold Zac. “Did you not look after her? This wound on her hand was due to a forceful pull! Now I can’t use her right hand to administer IV medication!”The nurse rushed to help Olivia with the wound. Her heart wrenched as she looked at hermangled hand.It must have hurt like hell.However, Olivia did not react, cry or struggle. It was as if she did not even feel the wound.The back of her head had been hit by the corner of the bedside table. It was a serious injury, and it was bleeding. The doctor covered it with a simple bandage. “Ms. Larson, you’re still young. Take care of your health, or you won’t even have six monthsleft to live.”Olivia did not move until she heard that.She looked up at the doctor. “How long do I have? Do I have three months?”The doctor looked at her and could not help shaking his head. “If you eat one more bar of soap, even three months is a stretch.”‘Not even three months?‘But I can’t die yet!’How could she die without finding her brother and finding out the truth about the Larsonfamily’s bankruptcy?“I’ll be good. I can’t die yet.”There was a certain determination in Olivia’s eyes as she spoke. It was as if she had madeup her mind.After the doctors and nurses left, Zac stood aside for a long time without speaking.He did not know what to say or how to comfort her.The Olivia before him no longer looked like the Larson family’s heiress that he knew.Her body was as thin as a sheet of paper. Holding her felt like lifting a feather. Her face was drained of color, and even her red lips were dry and pale.Olivia was the first to speak, her voice a little hoarse.“Mr. Quinton, what are you doing here? Is there something Johnny wants you to tell me?”She had rarely seen Zac during their years of marriage. After all, there were no legal issuesto discuss.Zac shook his head. “No, he doesn’t know I’m here.”Olivia paused and looked at Zac in surprise. She pressed her lips and said with a wry smile,“You’re right. He doesn’t have time for me.”“What do you want to eat?”Zac changed the subject.John was his buddy,
