Getting Him Hooked: Mr. Freeman’s Indifferent Sinner Wife
Chapter 814

Chapter 814

Ken's hands hung helplessly by his side as he leaned against the wall.

Then, he slid onto the ground.

He was clear that what Olivia said was right.

However, the resentment in his heart could not help but overflow out of his heart in waves, causing him to not be able to breathe.

Olivia sat down beside him and patted his back gently as a sign of comfort.

'Trust me/ Soon, well be able to avenge them."

Ken covered his face. "Liv, I can't... I can't be so useless anymore. I could not protect Zy four years ago, and I simply can't watch Kate die at Dorothy Ellis' hands too."

"I know. I've too not forgotten about avenging Zy."

As for Dorothy, Olivia did not want her to die.

She wanted Dorothy to lose everything she ever cared about, and then, she wanted to torture her slowly.

Only when Dorothy's will broke would Olivia finally feel like she had avenged everything.

After an hour, the light on the operating theatre finally switched off. A doctor came and said, 'The patient has passed the most critical stage, but she has two broken ribs, with one puncturing the lungs. She also had broken bones in her right leg, so she will need to be on bed rest for a while. Also..."

Olivia seemed to have guessed what the doctor wanted to say, so she abruptly said, "Doctor, can we talk at the side? So we can allow Dr. Lucas to rest."

The doctor looked at Ken, looked back at Olivia, and finally realized something. He nodded his head and said, "Okay."

"Why are you hiding this from me?"

"It's a woman's matter. You don't need to know too much."

With that, Olivia had already pulled the doctor to another corner.

"Ms. James, I'm sure you've already guessed. When the patient was hit, the stick must have landed on her lower abdomen, causing her to have urinary incontinence. Since she did not receive adequate help in time, and with the bad, dirty, and messy conditions of the place she was in, she got an infection and is not able to go to the toilet normally. She can only use a catheter right now, but with the right amount of care, she will still be able to recover. When the time comes, could you please comfort the patient as well, since she's just a girl? I know she would appreciate it very much."

Olivia nodded. "I get it. Please hide this from Ken for me. She would not want him to know."

"Okay, I will."

'Thank you, doctor."

However, Olivia did not know that Ken had followed her and was on the other side of the wall. He heard everything clearly.

By the time Olivia had returned, he was already back where he previously was, standing at the same spot with his head hung down dejectedly and seeming to be thinking of something. "Ken, go back and rest for now. I'll send Kate to the ward."

Ken lifted up his head and glanced at Olivia. Then, he said, "Okay, I'll get going."

Looking at Ken's disappearing silhouette, Olivia frowned. Why did he suddenly become so obedient?

However, she did not read too much into it as she followed Kate's bed to the suite on the top floor.

After helping Kate settle down, Olivia wanted to go to have a quick look at John and head home after that, since Sam was still in shock at home. She could not just leave him unattended.

When she went in to take a look at John, Wes was sitting on the couch and sorting through documents. When he saw Olivia, he shot up to his feet and said, "Madam, Sir isn't awake yet. Please go back to rest tonight."

"Okay. I'm just here to take a quick look. Why isn't he awake yet?"

'The doctor said that it could be because of the area the bullet went through and because of the anesthesia, but he will wake up tomorrow for sure."

Olivia nodded. She took a look at the quiet man on the bed and turned around. She was about to leave when she heard a hoarse voice call out," Don't leave!" "Sir, you're awake?"

Wes put down everything he had in his hands and said, "I'll get the doctor. Please wait for a while more, Madam."

Before Olivia could respond, Wes had already run out.

"Don't leave, Liv..."

With that, Olivia went up to John's side and saw the pleading in his eyes. John spoke up once more. "Don't leave, just be here with me for a while, please?" Maybe it was because John got hurt for Olivia's sake, but she felt her heart soften and nodded her head. She sat at the side.

"Okay, I won't leave, I'll wait for the doctor and we'll see after that."

"I dreamt that you confessed your love for me." John stared intently at Olivia and said each word clearly and slowly.
