Chapter 157 Specially Came to Pick Her Up
When Andrew heard the question, he glanced at David with an ambiguous smile.
His eyes were already deep and unfathomable.
And now, they were even harder to read.
David was really curious and couldn't help eagerly waiting for an answer.
After a moment, he heard Andrew say, "Seems like I've been giving you too little work. Since you're so free, get lost and go help out at the medical area."
With that, without waiting for his reaction, Andrew strode away on his long legs.
David, "..."
I just asked one question, and that's not even allowed!
So... does he like her or not???
For the rest of the day, David's mind was completely occupied by this question.
Olivia, however, knew nothing about this.
After parting with Andrew, she threw herself into busy work.
The steps for making medicine were complicated to begin with. The people here didn't have much experience, and with limited staff, she had to do most things herself.
This meant that throughout the entire day, she barely had any time to rest.
But fortunately, hard work and results were proportional.
By nine o'clock that evening, all the medicine needed for the special forces team members was completed.
Olivia instructed everyone, "First inject the medicine into their bodies, then give them this pill to take."
The doctors and nurses didn't dare delay and immediately followed her instructions.
Seeing this, Henry quickly asked, "Does this mean the team members can fully recover now?"
Olivia shook her head, "Not that fast. Based on how long the medicine takes to work, even those with mild symptoms will need until at least tomorrow morning to recover. The severe cases will need a few more days...
But what I can say for sure is that they're no longer in danger!"
At this point, she felt somewhat emotional, "This time, they were quite lucky. Although they were infected by strange insects and viruses, none were immediately fatal or extremely dangerous. That's what gave me time to make the medicine.
If it had been a more complex virus, under these conditions, there wouldn't have been time to wait for me to save them..."
Henry didn't deny this.
As captain of the special forces team, he had not only experienced many dangerous missions but had also witnessed various situations where team members died.
Some of them involved being infected with unknown poisons, bacterial infections, and such in dangerous places...
Ultimately leading to missed opportunities for treatment.
This time, although the situation wasn't that urgent, it was still dangerously close.
If they hadn't brought Olivia here, these team members would probably have met the same tragic fate.
Thinking of this, Henry's attitude toward Olivia became even more respectful, "We really owe you for this treatment, Dr. Garcia. You came last night and worked tirelessly without sleep to treat them, then spent the whole day making the antidote.
On behalf of everyone in the special forces team, I want to thank you!
Now that the work is done, you should get some good rest, okay? I've already had someone arrange accommodations. Shall I take you there now?"
Olivia had no objections.
She was indeed so tired she didn't want to move a finger.
Whether it was last night's treatment or today's medicine preparation, everything had been mentally exhausting.
Being able to hold on this long had already taken enormous willpower!
Not to mention this place was in the mountains, and once night fell, the temperature dropped sharply. When she wasn't moving, her hands and feet started getting stiff from the cold.
She felt that if this continued, she'd be the next one lying in a hospital bed!
"Thanks for your help then."
Olivia breathed into her palms and tiredly agreed.
Henry waved his hand and led her away from the medical area.
Feeling heavy-headed and light-footed, she made it outside. Just as she stepped out, Olivia felt a blast of cold wind hit her face.
The bone-chilling cold drilled into her clothes from every corner.
She immediately shivered from the cold and couldn't help sneezing, the whole thing making her dizzy.
At that moment, a warmth suddenly enveloped her.
Something seemed to wrap around her body.
Olivia vaguely caught a familiar cool fragrance and couldn't help looking up...
She saw Andrew had somehow appeared in front of her, draping a thick, oversized coat over her shoulders.
The coat was very large and long, perfectly wrapping her entire body tightly.
"What are you doing here?"
Henry watched his actions from the side, his eyes somewhat intrigued.
Having known this man for so many years, this was the first time he'd seen him be so... considerate.
Andrew replied in a flat tone, "Just finished up, passing by to check."
Henry looked at David behind him.
Besides the coat just draped over Olivia, he was also holding a scarf and hand warmers...
So well-prepared, and he calls this passing by?
And if he remembered correctly, his treatment had ended long ago. What was there to be busy with?
A rare hint of teasing crossed Henry's stern face as he said, "Your words... are getting more and more amusing."
Andrew ignored his teasing, his dark eyes locked on the person in front of him, saying, "I'll take her over. You do your thing and keep an eye on the medical area. Don't let anything else go wrong. She hasn't rested properly since last night."
This treatment had taken longer than he expected.
He'd thought preparing the medicine would take at most a morning, or could be handed off to others.
He hadn't expected her to do everything herself until this late.
Looking at Olivia in front of him, her steps unsteady and face full of exhaustion, he felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Henry saw this and couldn't help finding it interesting.
That expression... he'd never seen before either.
In the past, when they'd carried out missions together and encountered various dangerous situations, Andrew wouldn't even furrow his brow.
Even when his life was threatened, Andrew remained exceptionally calm.
But now, his emotions were being affected by someone?
This Olivia... seemed to be somewhat special!
Though Henry was curious about their relationship, he ultimately wasn't a gossip, and understanding Andrew's personality, he knew not to delay.
He quickly agreed, "Alright, I'll leave her in your hands then."
With that, he turned to Olivia, "Dr. Garcia, get some good rest tonight. If you need anything, just find Andrew."
"Ah, okay..."
Olivia mumbled a response, not finding anything wrong with this.
In fact, her brain had been a bit slow since earlier.
Besides being tired, there was this warmth she couldn't ignore...
This coat was clearly Andrew's.
It still carried his signature scent.
The cool pine fragrance kept drifting into her nose, occupying all her senses.
This feeling inexplicably created an illusion... of being in his embrace.
She couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to.
Olivia shook her head, subconsciously trying to dispel this ridiculous thought.
Andrew said he was just passing by.
How could she have such a terrible idea?
But Andrew in front of her, as if unaware, went ahead and wrapped a scarf around her neck.
This action... was so natural it made her brain tie in knots.
In the end, there were even hand warmers.
Olivia, "..."
Her thoughts drifted even more!
