Chapter 29
John sat by the bed and assured Dorothy gently. “It’s all good now, don’t be afraid.”
Dorothy batted her tear-soaked eyelashes, bit her lips, and looked at John. “Hug me, please?”
John paused for a while before embracing her in his arms.
Immediately, he heard the woes of the woman in his arms. “You left for so long, and Liv was also gone.
My heart started to panic because I was so worried that something would happen to you two, so I went to
the balcony to take a look.
“I didn’t expect a bat to come flying towards me, and it terrified me so much! I wanted to take something
to shoo it away, but it aggravated my wounds, and after that… I don’t even know how I fainted.
“Johnny, why is it that when I called you, you didn’t answer? I was really worried that something might
happen to you.”
John signed. He overthought just now. How could he have suspicion for kind, frail Dorothy?
“Sorry, I didn’t hear my phone ring. It won’t happen again.”
Dorothy nodded and responded with a soft “okay.”
Actually, she knew.

She did not faint, so there was no actual severe blood loss.
All she wanted was for John to notice her, so she could come to the hospital to get to know the situation.
When she saw John forcing the barely-alive Olivia to do a blood transfusion for her, she was ecstatic! If
she was not pinching her thighs all this while, she might have just started laughing.
“Johnny, hurry, go back and rest now, I’ll return home once my drips are done.”
John felt sorry for her. Dorothy was already weak, what if her wounds reopened once more?
“I’m fine.”
“How are you fine? It’s clear that you haven’t slept the entire night. Hurry, go rest, what would I do if you
fell
sick?
“Don’t worry about Liv, I’ll visit her before I leave and I’ll contact you if anything happens.”
John saw how obedient and understanding Dorothy was, ‘and his heart ached for her even more. He
said to her gently, “Okay, I’ll make a move. Call me if anything happens.”
“Okay.”
After he got out of the ward, John got Wes to find Dorothy a caretaker to take care of her.
Wes loathed Dorothy’s pretentiousness. “Sir, if you’re gonna hire a caretaker, I think Madam needs it
more.”
John thought about it and thought that it seemed like a good idea to hire one for Olivia, so the caretaker
could help to keep an eye on her so no other men could go near her.
“Okay, hire two then. Females.”
Wes thought John cared for Olivia and breathed a sigh of relief. “Okay. Where are we heading to?”
“Back to the company, I’ll sleep there today.”
The journey back and forth these two days had delayed the project too long anyway.
“Okay.”
Olivia was dreaming again.
The dream was very chaotic, and her memory felt like a messy edit of a movie.
John’s face appeared very frequently, and as Olivia watched it, she cried.
Tears flowed down her cheeks onto her pillow, making a big wet patch.
She struggled to wake up, but the John in her dreams held onto her, refusing to let her leave.

No… Let her go, please…
She cried even more until she was sobbing as she asked for mercy. “Johnny, don’t…”
However, the John in her dreams ignored her. He held a knife and plunged it deep into her chest. He
laughed and said, “Since you wanna run, I’ll kill you to keep you with me forever.”
The sharp, stabbing pain jolted her up from her dreams.
The moment Olivia opened her eyes, she saw Dorothy
smiling sinisterly at her, with her hands poking into Olivia’s thigh wound. Blood stained the dressings
once
more.
Olivia had cold sweat on her forehead. She was still not fully awake from her dream yet as she looked at
Dorothy with fear in her eyes. “Let go, Dorothy!”
“Hah, Olivia, I’m so happy to see you in pain.”
‘Dorothy snickered. “You’re already in this state, yet Johnny used your blood to save me. Say, why are
you still fighting me?”
