Chapter 313
Both Olivia and Ken were not expecting that, so they both froze on the spot.
Olivia was the first to snap back to her senses. She grabbed Zyla’s hand, checked her wounds, and said,
“Zy, you’re still not completely recovered yet. How could you do something so taxing?”
“I’m okay, Sis Liv.” Zyla’s voice softened. “How about you? Did Jerk John hurt you?!”
She shook her head. “I’ll tell you more after we get back to the ward. Let me look at your hand first.”
“I’m fine, really. He merely dislocated my arm, so all I need to do now is get a doctor to pop it back into
place for me. That’s all.”
Zyla shook her hands and laughed. “Look! I’m fine!”
“What about your chest? I saw blood just now in the afternoon.”
Olivia was worried, so she pulled Zyla into her ward and said, “Let me take a look.”
“I just busted the wound open, but I’ve gotten the nurse to give me a new dressing. You won’t be able to
see anything,”
Then, Zyla’s eyes fell on Ken. “What are you still doing here? Do you want a scolding? Or a beating?”
What happened to her changing her mind about him? Alas, bad habits died hard.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKen was a little sad as he wiped the water off his face. “You’ve misunderstood me, Ms. Jones. I’m on
Liv’s side.”
“Who allowed you to call her that? Is Sis Liv even that close to you?”
“Ms. Jones, I…”
Ken was at a loss for words. All he could do was stare blankly at Zyla. He could not come up with
anything to refute her.
Olivia looked at the both of them and said, “It’s fine, Zy. He’s just being kind.”
“Being kind?” Zyla yelled. “If he was kind, he would’ve already cut off all ties with Jerk John!”
“Stop it, Zy.” Olivia pushed her into her ward as she said that.
Ken looked at Olivia helplessly and said, “I’m sorry. I really didn’t mean to defend John
However, he then felt like he was just digging a deeper hole for himself, so he pursed his lips and said,
“I’ll get going. Just look for me if you need anything.”
“Okay. Go get a change of clothes. Zy was acting too rashly. I apologize on her behalf.”
Ken’s eyes flickered. He shook his head and said, “She did nothing wrong.”
Then, he turned around and left.
In the ward, Olivia made sure once more that Zyla’s hand was okay before breathing a sigh of relief.
“Sis Liv, where did that jerk bring you?”
“To see lan.”
Olivia
gave Zyla a brief summary of what happened in the afternoon and walked toward the window. She
smiled and said, “It’s been two years since I last had a conversation with lan and we ate a meal together.
I’m really content right now, even though…”
Zyla could not stand how lan acted toward Olivia, but due to Olivia’s emotions, she could only comfort
her and say, “Sis Liv, he’s only thirteen. That’s why he believes in ridiculous lies like those ones. We’ll
give him more time. He’ll know the truth one
day.”
“Yeah, I know that.”
However, Olivia still could not sleep that night.
She reminisced on the times when lan was still little, and as she thought about lan now, she could not
help but feel a little dejected.

When could she bring him to visit Dad and Mom?
What she did not expect was for John to come again the next afternoon.
This time, he was not so belligerent. With one hand in his pocket, he stood at the door, looked stoically at
Olivia, and said, “Olivia, I’ll bring to visit lan.”
She was stunned. She quickly swallowed the food she had in her mouth, gave Zyla a few things to take
note of, and followed John out the door.
Neither of them said a thing throughout the journey.
John sent Olivia to the Larson Residence, tossed her a pair of keys, and left.
She was a little taken aback, but she did not think much of it, since if John were to speak, they would
surely argue.
If that happened, John’s mood would be affected, and she might not be allowed to see her brother. That
would be a shame and a waste.
Thus, Olivia turned towards the villa, opened the door, and entered.
John did not go far. He merely drove the car out of Olivia’s line of sight and parked it at the side of the
road.
He missed her cooking. He was waiting for lunchtime.
