Chapter 254 Didn't Scare You, Right?
As he spoke, he actually grabbed the vase from the nearby table and tried to shove it into Olivia's hands.
Olivia's feelings had been quite complicated, but hearing David's increasingly ridiculous words, she found it somewhat amusing.
She couldn't actually lay a hand on David. She quickly put the vase back on the table and offered some comfort. "Alright, even though things have gotten this messy, it's not like I need to kill you. I don't want a death on my hands.
As for what you said, don't worry, I won't blame him.
I'm a doctor. I understand his condition better than anyone.
Why would I hold it against someone who's not even conscious?"
Even though that kiss had really caught her off guard.
But deep down, Olivia knew she didn't actually dislike it.
She was just unable to sort out her emotions when faced with that sudden kiss, which made her flustered and scared.
It was like something she had under control suddenly went off track, leaving her unable to cope, startled.
Right now she just wanted to hide and didn't dare explore things she'd been ignoring.
That was all!
Now with David stirring things up like this, Olivia's embarrassment and desire to escape had completely vanished.
She calmed down and started thinking about what tomorrow would be like.
There was a good chance that when Andrew woke up tomorrow morning, he would forget about tonight.
If he didn't bring it up in front of her, she probably wouldn't need to panic, right?
With this thought, Olivia reminded David, "When he wakes up tomorrow morning, if he doesn't remember what happened tonight, don't mention it, okay?
Just act like this never happened.
That way, you'll save your skin too!
Otherwise, just because I won't do anything to you doesn't mean Andrew won't. You get what I'm saying?"
David's mind worked fast. Hearing her say this, he immediately nodded in agreement. "I get it! I'll do as you say!"
Right now, he definitely couldn't tell Andrew the truth on his own.
No other reason—he was just afraid of dying!
Seeing him agree, Olivia felt slightly relieved and said, "Good then. I'm heading back. Take good care of him."
Only then did David respectfully see her out, feeling very touched.
'Dr. Garcia is such a good person, so wonderful! So from now on, I only recognize her as Mrs. Hamilton.
If anyone else wants to make a move on Mr. Hamilton, I won't allow it!' He thought to himself.
……
After leaving Andrew's villa, Olivia didn't dare go straight home.
Her skin was delicate—even minor bumps or scrapes would easily leave marks.
After being worked over so thoroughly by Andrew just now, even lightly touching her lips still felt a bit painful.
The marks on her body would probably take a long time to fully heal.
If she went home now, she was afraid Rodolfo would notice something.
Feeling guilty, Olivia wandered around outside her house for over half an hour until she didn't feel anything anymore before daring to go in.
By the time she got home, it was already very late.
"Ms. Smith, you're back?" Simon had left a light on for her. Seeing her come in, he told her gently, "Mr. McCoy has already gone to rest, and Bianca was very sleepy, so the maid took her back to her room to put her to sleep."
Having avoided Rodolfo reduced the chances of being discovered by a few more points.
Olivia could finally completely relax.
She nodded and said to Simon, "Okay, I understand. It's very late now, Simon. You should go rest early too."
That whole night, David stayed nervously by Andrew's side, not daring to rest.
Andrew woke up the next morning.
When he opened his eyes, his brow furrowed.
He felt a severe headache, much like the nerve-related pain from before, wave after wave.
After adjusting for a while, he got up and went downstairs.
Hearing footsteps from the stairway, David felt very nervous.
After seeing Andrew, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. He quickly spoke up, asking with concern, "Mr. Hamilton, you're awake?"
"Yeah."
Andrew responded lightly, then asked him, "What happened to me last night?"
Hearing this, David gathered his courage and asked, "You don't remember at all?"
Andrew pinched the bridge of his nose, frowning as he tried to recall carefully. "I just remember some things. My head hurt a lot last night, and I think I saw Olivia."
David immediately asked nervously, "What did you see Dr. Garcia doing?"
Andrew frowned. He couldn't remember the specific details.
But he felt like he had forgotten something very important.
Andrew thought for a while, but because his head hurt so badly, he really couldn't remember. He could only reply, "I think I lost consciousness last night. Did I do something I couldn't control?"
David's feelings were complicated.
Olivia had really gotten it right—Andrew woke up and forgot everything.
He felt inexplicably relieved, but also very guilty. Afraid his boss would see through him, he kept his head down, not daring to look directly at him as he explained, "Last night I accidentally gave you the wrong medicine, which made your injury worse and triggered your nerve pain. That's why you can't remember clearly.
After Dr. Garcia came over last night, she gave you medicine. She said to increase the dosage going forward and change it daily."
After hearing this, Andrew didn't doubt David's words.
Before losing his rationality, he still remembered that painful feeling.
He just didn't know if he had done anything excessive afterward.
Andrew asked David directly.
David's heart was beating especially fast.
He blinked, still not daring to look at him, and said, "No, when I called Dr. Garcia over, you had gone to take a cold shower in the bathroom. Later, Dr. Garcia and I brought you out together."
Listening to this, Andrew felt there was nothing wrong with it, yet he still felt like something was missing.
That strange feeling left him unsettled.
He couldn't figure out what was going on, so he could only give up for now.
Afraid he would keep asking, David quickly spoke up, "Mr. Hamilton, you slept all night. You should eat something first. The kitchen made porridge. After breakfast, you can take your medicine."
"Okay." Andrew nodded and walked straight to the dining room.
After finishing breakfast, he called Olivia.
Olivia had already gotten up and was preparing to go to the research institute.
Seeing Andrew's name on the caller ID, her heart inexplicably tightened, and she felt an indescribable nervousness.
After all, with what happened last night, she wasn't sure how much he remembered, and didn't know what he would say in this call.
Olivia hesitated for several seconds, and the ringtone suddenly stopped.
Looking at her now-dark phone screen, she felt an inexplicable sense of loss.
Strange, why was she having all these messy emotions?
Olivia quickly tried to pull herself out of these feelings. Just as she was about to put her phone away, the screen lit up again.
A new message had come in.
Andrew: [Are you busy? I heard from David about last night. Did it scare you?]
Seeing his message, Olivia immediately realized he didn't remember!
That was good.
At least she wouldn't have to be so awkward facing him.
When she got up this morning, her lips were still slightly swollen, which naturally couldn't escape Rodolfo's notice during breakfast.
After being questioned by Rodolfo, fortunately she was quick-witted and managed to brush it off.
However, she still didn't know how to face Andrew, so for now she didn't reply to his message, planning to wait a bit.
Olivia soon left the house.
After arriving at the research institute, she got busy.
It wasn't until lunchtime that she picked up her phone again.
What surprised Olivia was that there were actually several missed calls on her phone.
All from Andrew!
Because she hadn't answered, the man had also sent her several messages.
Andrew: [My grandfather had an incident. I have to return to Harmony City temporarily, return date uncertain. Bianca's treatment will be postponed for now. If there's an emergency, you can call me or contact Benjamin.]
Reading to the end of the message, Olivia was stunned.
He left?
So suddenly?
Olivia looked at the words "return date uncertain," feeling somewhat empty inside.
But she quickly returned to normal.
Andrew hadn't left without saying goodbye.
He had called her this morning, and besides, hadn't he sent a message explaining?
His grandfather had an incident, which was why he left so hastily.
Olivia didn't overthink it and immediately replied, asking: [What happened to your grandfather?]
Andrew didn't reply.
Olivia figured he must be busy.
On Andrew's end, the situation was indeed somewhat urgent.
This morning when his grandfather went out, he ran into the Robinsons.
Finnegan's only daughter had married into the Robinson family but met a tragic end.
The relationship between the two families had been tense all these years.
Especially later, when Finnegan took away the heir the Robinson family valued and even changed the child's surname.
Since then, the two families had been like fire and water.
Running into each other outside this time, conflict was inevitable.
Finnegan was so angry on the spot that he had a heart attack and was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.
While on the plane, Andrew's whole body radiated coldness.
After getting off the plane, he headed straight to the hospital without even checking his phone.
Olivia waited for a while without receiving a message, but she wasn't disappointed.
She figured Andrew must be busy on the Harmony City end and didn't have time to check messages.
She didn't think much more about it and turned to focus on her own work.
What she didn't expect was that something else would happen here in the evening.
Daniel called, his tone somewhat angry. "That shameless Lyle is causing trouble again. I thought after the online buzz died down, he'd have some self-awareness. I really underestimated how shameless he is!"
Hearing this, Olivia instinctively frowned and asked, "What's going on? What did he do now?"
Daniel didn't know how to explain it to her, so he said, "Go online and check the news yourself. This guy is obviously not letting Mr. McCoy go!"
Olivia stopped asking and went online to check herself.
This time the buzz was indeed very high—she didn't even need to search actively.
As soon as she opened the app, she saw a trending topic with very high engagement.
#Rodolfo Caused Two Deaths.
