Chapter 835
Logan didn’t return for the entire morning. Alicia asked about him a few times, and Olivia always found an
excuse to appease her.
However, Logan ended up being away for a whole day. Every time Olivia asked Joshua about it, he
avoided the question
Olivia was a little worried as well. No matter how strong the drug was, its effects shouldn’t have persisted
for so long.
Early the next morning. Joshua was about to leave when Olivia stopped him.
Joshua, what exactly happened to Logan?”
Her attitude made it clear that if he didn’t give her an explanation, she wouldn’t let him leave.
Joshua sighed. “Logan fell sick
“Sick?” Olivia never expected this outcome. After all, he usually looked quite healthy.
། guess I’ll come clean, then. The effects of the drug were too strong that night, so Logan got another
room for fear that he might affect you. He soaked himself in ice water for a whole night.
The temperature difference between day and night is quite huge. Bathing in cold weather in the middle
of the night was bad enough, but he even added ice to the bathtub. Also
Olivia was shocked that he didn’t get a woman to deal with the problem.
“Also what?”
“The doctor said that the best way to solve it was to get a woman, but he refused. He forced the doctor
to give him extra doses of sedatives. He was also freezing for the whole night
“His b*dy isn’t made of steel, after all. No one can withstand that.”
When Olivia heard all that, she had a complicated feeling in her heart.
“Is he alright now?”
“To be honest, no. He had a fever for the entirety of last night Logan feared that you would get worried, and he didn’t want you to get infected either. So, he arranged for me to deliver your meals.”
Biting her l*p, Olivia asked in a small voice, “Can I go and visit him?”
‘1 don’t think you should. Logan insisted that you don’t leave the room. Just hang in there for another ten
“Alright, thanks.

“Please don’t say that. Ms. Fordham. Logan saved my life, and he told me to take good care of you two.
I’m just carrying out my duties. I won’t disturb you anymore, then.”
After closing the door, Olivia felt something heavy in her heart.
She couldn’t quite describe that feeling. This was Logan’s private matter, and she wasn’t dating him. What
could she have done to help?
It was only reasonable that she declined him that night. It was also his choice that he refused to get a
woman to deal with his problem.
They didn’t owe each other anything.
But then, she recalled Logan’s care for her and Alicia in the past few days. He had also soaked himself in
ice water for a whole night, so Olivia was quite bothered about it.
At the very least, she wanted to know how he was doing.
Olivia was dispirited for the whole morning. She would usually read for a long time. Today, she held a book in her hand, yet she hadn’t even turned a page after half an hour.
“Mommy Alicia looked at Olivia worriedly. “Where is Uncle Logan?”
Olivia patted her head. “He’ll be back soon
She began to realize that things were progressing in an odd direction. If Logan liked her, then they couldn’t maintain their relationship as simply an employer and an employee.
After she arrived in Aldenvine and settled down, she would have to bid Logan goodbye
But Alicia depended on Logan more than she expected. When the time came for them to say goodbye,
Alicia would be so sad.
“I miss Uncle Logan.”
“He has some things to deal with, so be good and keep drawing, alright? You can show it to him when he’s back.”
“Okay.” Alicia nodded obediently.
Olivia would usually teach Alicia how to draw, but today, she wasn’t in the mood for that.
She was wondering when Logan would be back.

When Alicia finished drawing she showed Olivia her work. There was the sun, along with clouds and birds.
On the green gra*s stood a man and a woman, who were holding the hands of a little girl and a little boy.
Olivia could see that the woman was her, and the man was Logan.
Judging by the drawing it was clear that Alicia had given Logan the role of a father.
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 …
