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

Chapter 16

expression then said in a weak tone, “Johnny, my chest hurts…”“Does your wound hurt?”She shook her head. “I don’t know, it’s just a throbbing pain.”Tears fell out of her eyes once again while she was speaking, as if she was heavily wronged.“Johnny, I am sorry, it’s because of me that’s why you are in such an awkward situation, not to mention causing a conflict between you and Liv… Is she okay?”“It’s fine Dolly, take care of yourself first.” John covered her body with the blanket and wanted to close the curtains for her. “I’ll close the curtains.”Yet, just as he was about to move, Dorothy grabbed his sleeve.“Johnny, let it be. This way, the first ray of sunshine after the storm can shine into the room as soon as possible.”That being said, Dorothy looked down and her tears kept on falling as she spoke, “Johnny, I’ve been hoping for us to be like the rainbow that shines after the rain and that we can be together after going through so many obstacles. We can do it, right?”John was annoyed by her continuous crying but he still endured it after remembering the fact that the miscarriage was the reason for her emotional instability. He then forced himself to say, “Yes.”His patience was limited, despite the subject being Dorothy.However, in order to assure her, he still sat back in bed and held her in his arms while comforting her gently. “Sleep tight.”Dorothy noticed him being in a bad mood as he was frowning the entire time which made her uneasy.Thinking of this, she could not help but hug him tighter, for fear that he would go out and look for Olivia once she fell asleep.John finally got out of her room at 5 a.m., he then stood in the study room and smoked continuously, one cigarette after another.The rain was still pouring heavily and the thunder continued growling.‘Olivia Larson is indestructible, anyone else would die, but not her!’‘She should’ve known that I would never forgive her when she had an affair with another man two years ago!’‘This woman is cheap by nature and her ego inflates whenever she is treated well, so I shall never show mercy to her.’Suddenly, Wes ran into the room while panting heavily. “Sir, bad news, Madam has passed out.”‘Passed out?’John shook his hand a little and the cigarette ashes fell onto the floor. He sneered. “Pretending to be dead is her best trick.”“Madam seemed to have stopped breathing…”It was as if his heart skipped a beat, he turned to Wes and saw him nodding. “I’ve already called the ambulance and they are on the way.”‘That’s impossible, she cannot die.’‘She is the indestructible Olivia, anyone in this world would have died and will get injured, but not her!’John’s heart trembled. He threw the ashtray on the ground and snorted. “Huh, I shall see what is she up to this time!’’That being said, he quickly walked down and he even staggered a little as he went down the stairs.Once he opened the door, the chilly wind blew in together with the rain and dripped on his face.Olivia was leaning against a rock, her legs still in a kneeling position. Her hair clung to her face to the extent that her expression could not be seen properly.He looked down at the woman on the ground and kicked her.“Olivia Larson, stop pretending! I’m not falling for your tricks!”“Olivia, get up!”The woman on the ground did not give him any response and he started to panic. He quickly squatted down and pushed Olivia’s shoulder but he drew back his hand as if he got shocked by electricity.Her body was cold and stiff, just like…a corpse.After a few seconds, he reached out to check her breath.It was weak, but she was still breathing.He let out a sigh of relief
