Chapter 123
Olivia was confused. Wasn’t Colin getting her some food? What happened?
She asked where he was and quickly went to look for him.
Olivia found Colin in a room. He was leaning on a couch weakly.
His face was flushed, and his voice became soft. It sounded like the purring of a cat.
He was staring at her helplessly.
“Olivia, I feel hot.”
She placed her hand on his forehead to check. It was indeed burning up.
“Other than the fever, does anything else hurt?”
They were only outside for a short while.
He shouldn’t have gotten sick so quickly unless he had some preexisting conditions.
Olivia began practicing what she learned as a medical student.
She racked her brain to think of any conditions that would cause a fever to flare up quickly.
Colin unfastened his tie. He also unbuttoned the collar of his shirt and revealed his Adam’s apple.
He placed his hand over Olivia’s and tugged.
“Olivia, I feel like I’m on fire.”
Olivia finally knew what was wrong. She quickly pulled her hand out of Colin’s grasp.
“What did you eat?”
“I was getting some seafood for you.
“I saw some freshly squeezed orange juice and took two gla*ses of it. I started to feel sick after I drank half a gla*s.
“I wanted to sit down for a while before I went back to you. But my b*dy started to become hotter. Olivia, I feel so sick, am I going to die…”
She looked into his eyes. He was just a young man that had just reached legal age.
He was still between the phases of adolescence and adulthood. His eyes were pure and innocent.
It was possible that he really didn’t know what was happening to his b*dy.
“You’ll live. Hold on, I’ll get you a doctor.”
Olivia looked at the two gla*ses of orange juice. One was full, the other was half–full.
It was obvious that someone was trying to set her up.
This was, without a doubt, Marina’s handiwork. Olivia did not know why Marina was so afraid of her.
But whatever happened next, Marina asked for it.
Olivia was about to give Brent a call. But she fell into Colin’s arms.
His eyes were unfocused like he was under the influence of drugs.
He said in a murmur, “Olivia, I don’t want a doctor. I only need you. I felt much better when you placed your palm on my forehead. Please touch me more ”
Olivia was slightly amused. He was like a cat begging for his owner’s attention.
“Don’t be silly. I don’t have a cure on me. Only a doctor can help you.”
Colin had already lost control. He dragged Olivia onto the couch and started k*ssing her on her neck.
Her pale neck smelled like bergamots.
His unfamiliar scent made her feel uncomfortable. “Colin, calm down. I’ll call for a doctor now.”
“I don’t want a doctor. I only want you! Olivia, you smell so nice!”
Olivia raised her hand. She wanted to slap him across his face.
But when she saw his innocent face, she hesitated. He was only being dragged into her problems.
Before she could slap him, Colin instinctively moved up.
He was trying to k*ss her on the l*ps.
Thud!
Before his l*ps could touch Olivia’s skin, he was knocked out by a chop to his neck.
His head fell on Olivia’s shoulder.
After Colin dropped down, Olivia saw Ethan’s face. His expression was cold.
“Olivia, what excuse do you have now?”
He looked down at her. His gaze was intense. A storm is coming.
It seems Ethan only ever married Olivia to take revenge for what happened to his little sister. While Olivia is plagued by her sickness, he holds her chin and says coldly, “This is what your family owes me.” Now, she has no family and no future.
Her father becomes comatose after a car accident, leaving her with nothing to live for. Thus, she hurls herself from a building. “The life my family owes will now be repaid.” At this, Ethan, who’s usually calm, panics while begging for Olivia to come back as if he’s in a state of frenzy …
