Chapter 498: Hopefully the Johnson Family Can Withstand His Wrath

If it could be reversed, would it even be considered a banned drug?

Michael seemed to understand this point too. His heart sank as he pressed on, "What are the side effects of this drug? Will it cause any damage to the body?"

Thinking of how Olivia had looked tonight—wracked with pain—Michael felt something twist inside his chest. It was unbearable.

Chase only shrugged and said, "I don't know either. I'm not the one who got this drug."

On the other side.

Aurelia hadn't rested yet either. She was waiting for news from Emerald City.

After what felt like forever, someone finally came to report: "Charlotte and Sophia lost track of her. We don't know where Olivia is right now."

"What useless fools!"

Aurelia cursed. "I already created such a perfect opportunity for them, and they still managed to lose her? With skills like that, how can they even talk about revenge?"

Owen said from the side, "You can't really blame them. After Olivia arrived in Emerald City, she went straight to The Johnson Mansion.

The Johnson family is a top-tier wealthy family in Emerald City, and The Johnson Mansion is heavily guarded. Once Olivia went inside, it was hard to get any information."

Even with Charlotte or Sophia's abilities, there had never been a way to uncover anything about the Johnson family.

Aurelia frowned. "That Chase from the Johnson family—wasn't he one of Sophia's admirers before?

Sophia is in such a terrible state now, and he's just indifferent? Won't he help her at all?"

Owen said, "Not sure. In Chase's eyes, Sophia used to be like a dream girl.

But once her image was shattered, he probably feels disgusted. They haven't been in contact for a long time.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have ended up as some old man's plaything."

Hearing this, Aurelia couldn't help wondering if she had made a bad move.

"What useless people. Do they even deserve to be used by me?"

"Please calm down."

Owen tried to soothe her, "If we missed this chance, we can find another one. Even if Olivia returns to Harmony City, she can't stay indoors forever."

Hearing this, though Aurelia was still in a bad mood, she held her tongue.

Just then, Lawrence came back from outside.

Seeing her gloomy expression, he asked, "What's wrong? Why the long face? What happened now?"

"It's about Olivia again. Those two useless people, Charlotte and Sophia, lost track of her."

Aurelia told Lawrence about the news she'd received.

Lawrence's expression didn't show much disappointment. "Relying on two people with no real background makes it easy to fail. Bodyguards aren't professional enough."

Aurelia looked at him puzzled and asked, "So what do you mean?"

Lawrence let out a cold laugh. "There are plenty of assassin and mercenary organizations overseas. If I recall correctly, Sophia's ex-husband is from abroad, isn't he?"

Aurelia nodded. "According to our investigation, yes."

Lawrence's expression turned thoughtful.

That night, time quietly passed.

Olivia remained unconscious all night.

Early the next morning, Vaughn and Victoria called Andrew.

They both asked worriedly over the phone, "Andrew, did you find Olivia? When can you come back?"

Andrew looked at Olivia, who was still asleep, and chose to hide the truth.

He replied naturally, "I found her, but we have some things to handle here, so we can't come back yet.

I'll arrange for someone to take you and Bianca back to Harmony City today. I'm sorry to trouble you with looking after Bianca. Olivia and I will come back later."

When Olivia woke up, who knew what condition she'd be in.

Vaughn and Victoria were getting old, and Andrew didn't want them to worry.

Yesterday when Bianca went missing, they'd already been terrified.

Vaughn sensed something odd in Andrew's words and pressed, "Andrew, is Olivia okay?"

Andrew's tone didn't reveal anything unusual. He replied gently, "She's fine—just too tired. She's still sleeping ."

He knew that hiding the truth would only raise suspicion, so while Olivia remained asleep, he took a photo of her resting peacefully and sent it to them.

After Vaughn and Victoria saw it and confirmed Olivia was okay, they finally felt relieved and soon set off back to Harmony City with Bianca.

Once Andrew had arranged everything, Olivia finally woke from her deep sleep.

Because of the drug's lingering effects, her head was still foggy. Yet compared to last night, she was clearly better—her expression no longer twisted in pain.

Opening her eyes, she met Andrew's concerned gaze. "Olivia, you're awake? Does your head still hurt?"

Though his expression brimmed with worry, she couldn't miss the exhaustion etched into his face—dark circles shadowed his eyes, as if he hadn't slept all night.

She asked somewhat puzzled, "Andrew, did you stay up all night watching over me without resting?"

Hearing her call his name and seeing the concern in her eyes, Andrew suddenly felt delighted. "Olivia, you still remember me?"

Olivia smiled weakly. "What are you talking about? Of course I remember you!"

They had worked so hard to be together—how could she possibly forget him?

Hearing her words and thinking about last night, Andrew felt somewhat puzzled. Had the drug she'd taken lost its effect, so her memory had returned?

In any case, she hadn't forgotten him—and that was the best outcome.

A situation like last night was torture for Andrew too.

He never wanted to endure the agony of being forgotten by her again.

Andrew didn't explain what had happened last night. He looked at her tenderly and said, "You slept for so long, I thought you'd forgotten me.

Since you haven't forgotten, get up and wash . You didn't eat anything last night. I had David buy breakfast—don't let yourself go hungry."

"Okay."

Olivia smiled softly and let him carry her to wash up.

When she came out, David had indeed returned with breakfast.

Perhaps considering her current physical condition, the breakfast prepared was relatively light—oatmeal porridge.

After Olivia finished eating, she wanted to leave the hospital.

Though she was a doctor, she didn't really like the smell of disinfectant in hospitals.

Seeing she was fine, Andrew naturally listened to her and had David handle the discharge procedures.

But just then, Olivia's expression twisted in agony. She clutched her head, nerves tearing as waves of pain crashed through her.

"Olivia, what's wrong?"

Andrew's expression changed slightly. He quickly stepped forward to support her while pressing the medical call button. "Don't be scared—the doctor will be here soon."

Olivia couldn't hear what he was saying clearly. She felt like her head was being split in two—it hurt terribly.

After the pain passed, everything around her started to feel strange.

Olivia realized she was leaning against a strange man.

She was immediately frightened and pushed away the person in front of her. With the same wariness and defensiveness as last night, she asked, "Who are you?"

Andrew's expression changed instantly.

David, who had just returned, was also stunned by the scene. After recovering, he turned and ran outside again. "I'll get the doctor right away!"

The doctor was practically dragged in by David. After entering, bearing the surrounding pressure, he examined Olivia again.

"What's the verdict?" Andrew asked, looking at Olivia with deep concern in his eyes.

The doctor sighed and said, "Ms. Smith's condition is quite rare. It should be from exposure to an unregulated drug.

That drug has no stability. Its effect is to stimulate the nerves, causing memory confusion and ultimately amnesia.

But Ms. Smith has a very strong will. Perhaps sensing she was about to forget, she fought back desperately, which is why she's become like this.

Currently, our hospital has no solution for this situation. We can only provide conservative treatment."

Andrew's expression couldn't have been worse.

He'd thought she had recovered.

But it turned out to be the same as last night, maybe even worse.

He immediately looked at David and ordered, "Prepare for discharge. We're going back to Harmony City."

He didn't believe conservative treatment could cure Olivia.

For an illness caused by drugs, perhaps the people at the research institute in Harmony City would have better solutions.

Olivia was in bad shape, too wary, unwilling to let anyone get too close, not even Andrew.

But her headache was too severe, and she couldn't really handle it.

In the end, Andrew felt too bad for her and had the doctor give her a sedative so she could rest properly.

Only when Olivia was in deep sleep would she not reject anyone's approach.

Because her condition was still unstable, Andrew didn't choose to take a plane but had David drive back to Harmony City.

Compared to flying, driving would take longer.

Andrew worried that Olivia might have other emergencies on the road, so he simply arranged for a doctor to accompany them.

When they were leaving the hospital, Michael also appeared.

He only had Robert with him.

Seeing Andrew carrying Olivia out of the hospital, he immediately had Robert push him forward and asked with concern, "How is Olivia doing?"

Andrew just gave him a cold glance and had no intention of telling him.

Michael could see that, so he didn't ask again. Instead, he had Robert take something out and said, "I brought the drug that Olivia was given. See if it can help in any way."

Hearing this, David immediately stepped forward to take the drug. After putting it away, he replied, "No help needed. Thanks to your Johnson family, Ms. Smith's physical condition is very unstable.

The richest family in Emerald City, using such underhanded methods—what an eye-opener!

This time, Mr. Hamilton is very angry. I hope your Johnson family can handle his fury!"

After saying this, David followed Andrew's steps.

Throughout, Andrew never stopped, didn't let Michael see Olivia even once, and directly carried her to the car.

After David got in too, he gave the order, "Drive."

"Yes, sir."

The car slowly started and soon disappeared from Michael and his companion's view.

The Hamilton family's car drove steadily toward Harmony City. After the injection, Olivia slept very peacefully and wouldn't wake up for a while.
