Chapter 40
Zac took out a phone and handed it to Olivia. “Last night, I bought you a new phone. But you were
already asleep, so I took your old phone.
“Yours isn’t broken, but it doesn’t work that well. I got you a new one and forwarded the information from
your old phone to the new one.
})
He said it casually, but he was afraid he might have crossed the boundaries of their relationship. He kept
glancing at Olivia to observe her emotions.
However, Olivia was only surprised.
Since John got mean and her father died, no one had ever cared about her this much.
Such gentle and unforceful care made her feel comfortable.
Zac noticed that Olivia was startled and thought she was worried about her privacy, so he quickly
explained. (( Please rest assured. I didn’t look through the stuff on your phone.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“No, I wasn’t thinking about that. I-I wanted to thank you.”
“By the way, about your butler, Uncle Wallace. The police called and confirmed that he got off the train at
Ocean
City. Surveillance footage shows him taking a taxi from the train station to the peninsula.”
To the peninsula… So Dorothy had been lying!
Her eyes widened, and she bit her lip. “Where could he be…?”
“I don’t know, but I promise I’ll help you find him. It’s just that…”
Zac frowned. “You have to prepare yourself for the worst.”
Olivia’s hand trembled, and the porridge in her bowl spilled onto the blanket. Fortunately, Zac managed
to hold the bowl up.
She covered her face and bit her lower lip until it bled. This was Uncle Wallace they were talking about,
her favorite butler.
She should have looked around the house last night. She should not have let her guard down. How
could she have been so careless?
How could she have slept last night?
She would never forgive herself if anything happened to Uncle Wallace!
“”It’s all my fault. I agreed to meet him. How could I forget last night… When I got back to the hospital, I
fell asleep. I almost believed Dorothy’s story…”
Olivia kept blaming herself, and tears ran down her fingers. Zac could not bear to see her like this.
“Don’t worry. I promised you, so I’ll find the truth.”
“If Dorothy intended to hide him from us, you wouldn’t have been able to find him no matter how hard
you tried yesterday.”
Zac was a little anxious and patted Olivia’s shoulder. Don’t cry. Leave it to the police and me, okay?”
Even he did not realize how gentle his voice was.
((
Olivia wiped her tears and gritted her teeth. “I’ll make sure Dorothy pays for what she’s done!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZac was afraid Olivia might act impulsively, so he gently pushed her shoulder to pin her down. “Take
good care of your health first. Your health is more important right now. How will you get revenge on
Dorothy with such a weak body?”
‘Yes. I should recuperate first.’
Even though she was dying of lung cancer, she had at least to heal the wounds on her body.
However, she was still worried about Uncle Wallace. She hoped nothing had happened to him.
“You’re right! My health is more important right now.”
Olivia ate the half bowl of porridge and drank everything
in the thermos flask.
Zac heaved a sigh of relief. He knew how stubborn Olivia was. He knew he would have to ask the doctor
to inject her with some sedative if she insisted on personally going to save Uncle Wallace.
Fortunately, he managed to convince her otherwise.
Olivia stayed in the hospital for another two peaceful days.
However, there were no news of Uncle Wallace, which upset her until she got a call from Dorothy.
“Olivia, do you want to save Uncle Wallace? I’ll give you a chance.”
