Shaking her head, Olivia said, “How could I do that? With all the things I have to deal with at the company, I’ll be holding up a lot of work if I’m absent for a day.”

“You can work any time you want. I just want you to be happy.” Thomas continued to persuade her.

At his words, a sweet smile bloomed on Olivia’s face, resembling a blossom at the break of dawn. “I’m happy when I’m working. Keyshire Property is a present from you, so I feel really accomplished when I do a good job at running it!”

Unable to say anything in return, Thomas buried his head in his breakfast instead. However, with all the thoughts weighing on his mind, it was impossible for him to whet his appetite at all, and he only toyed with the food on his plate without sending it into his mouth.

Olivia, who keenly sensed his change in behavior, placed some food on his plate. “Hurry up and eat. Food is for eating, not for you to play with. By the way, I’ve been meaning to ask, but what is up with you? Did something happen?”

Since the day before, she had noticed that something was off with him, and he wasn’t acting like his usual self. Although she wanted to ask him, she was too embarrassed to, but she could tell that there was something on his mind.

“Huh? It’s nothing. Why would anything happen to me? Haha!” Thomas could only play dumb, not wanting her to find out about the sacrifice as it would only add to her troubles.

After finishing their breakfast, the two drove toward Keyshire Property. At 10.30AM, Thomas bade Olivia adieu before making his way to Prescott Hospital alone, where he had already agreed to meet Quincy so that they could head to the hotel to see Leah together.

Currently, Leah had long arrived at the agreed room and was waiting for them there. This time, she had only brought her grandson along on her trip to Irieson.

Back then, it was in this very same room where Quincy told her not to intervene in Olivia’s duty, and he even told her that many other people wielded influence and power in the world, and she was not the only one who had the ability to solve Olivia’s troubles. And yet, the current turn of events proved that the man who was once the top doctor of Droycore was nothing but talk.
