Chapter 248
Zac leaned over, grabbed Olivia’s hand, and put her hand on his chest. “Liv, I swear I’ll never lie to you. If
I lie to you…”
Before he could finish, Olivia suddenly covered his mouth and shook her head, saying, “I don’t want you
to swear.”
“Liv…”
Zac froze as his heart raced. He also looked at Olivia with a more complicated look.
He endured it in his heart. ‘Liv, I might lose control of myself if this went on.’
However, Olivia could not read the look in his eyes. She let go and sniffed. “Zac, I believe you. You don’t
have to swear.”
‘Zac…’
It was the first time Olivia had ever called him so affectionately, and Zac’s heart felt a pang as he let go of
Olivia’s hand and faked a cough.

When he coughed, Olivia thought he had a cold from rescuing herself and felt guilty.” Take good care of
yourself. Don’t let yourself fall sick.”
However, Zac could not stand her consecutive strikes, and his usually calm heart was already flustered.
It was the first time he wanted to run away from Olivia for fear that she would find out something was
wrong with him.
He pretended to nod nonchalantly. “Yes, I’ll pay attention.”
With that said, he turned around to walk out. However, Olivia suddenly asked, “By the way, where’s
Johnny?”
‘Did he know I almost died?”
Olivia knew John was probably more concerned about when Dorothy would come out, but… she could
not help wondering.
Zac said indifferently without looking back, “He knows something happened to you, but he’s busy with
the company, so he can’t visit you.”
“Oh, I see.”
When Zac said what she already knew, Olivia’s heart hurt for no reason.
She was buried alive because of him, and he could just turn a blind eye.
Then she laughed self-deprecatingly. It was silly of her.
Zac felt bad for Olivia but left without another word.
Zyla poured out the soup Zac had brought. “Sis Liv, come and eat something.”
“Okay.”
“Sis Liv, now that Dorothy is locked up, you can rest and take care of the baby without worry. How can
the baby be born safely if you continue to worry so much?”
With that said, Zyla stirred the soup a little and brought it to the tray table. She took a spoonful and held it
to Olivia’s lips. “I want to be the baby’s godmother.”
Hearing Zyla mention the baby, Olivia tearfully opened her mouth and drank it. She forced a smile,

Olivia spent a few days in the hospital resting quietly.
These days, Zyla accompanied her every day, while Zac visited her occasionally. However, John never
even showed up.
For some reason, it reminded her of when she had a miscarriage two years ago.
He also never showed up as if he had disappeared.
Olivia knew she was conflicted. She was afraid to see him but missed him when she
did not see him.
Maybe she had Stockholm syndrome.
It happened to be a sunny day, but Zyla was not around. Olivia thought about it and decided to go
downstairs to get some sun.
However, as soon as she walked out the door, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.
Johnny?
Just as she tried to catch up, she saw a man on crutches fall in front of her.
She had no choice but to help him up. However, when she looked again, there was no sign of the man in
the corridor.
Did my eyes fool me? Come to think of it. Why would John run away from me…”
