Chapter 175
Olivia left after checking Anthony’s pulse. She simply told Gabriel that she could treat Anthony and
nothing more. Her expression was cold and indifferent.
She felt a bit tired and wanted to take a nap.
Gabriel quickly had a servant guide Olivia to the room prepared for her. Then, he went to join Peter and
Tyson for dinner.
Tyson smiled. “Mr. Patterson, please go ahead with your tasks. You don’t need to worry about us. We’ll
be fine on our own.”
With the conversation having reached this point, Gabriel didn’t stay any longer. However, as he was
leaving, he called the butler over and instructed her several times to ensure that the two guests were
well taken care of.
Upon returning to the dining area where the couple was having lunch just now, the table was adorned
with a variety of exquisite dishes. However, Lindy’s plate remained completely clean.
It was obvious that she had no mood to eat.
Gabriel sat down confidently and picked up a bowl, first sipping half the soup before raising his head to
ask his wife. “Why aren’t you eating? It’s getting cold.”
“I’m not as carefree as you! I can’t eat!” Faced with her husband, Lindy’s temper finally didn’t need to
be restrained, and she said directly to him, “Ms. Olivia is too young, she probably hasn’t even
graduated from college. You’re quite audacious to let her treat Anthony.”
“Why should I be afraid?” Grabiel started eating his meal. “Regardless of Ms. Olivia’s skills, you should
show respect to her.”
“You don’t need to tell me that.” Lindy raised an eyebrow. When had she ever been disrespectful to a
guest?
No matter how unsatisfied she was with Olivia, she was still a recommendation by Berina.
Lindy possessed a certain level of refinement and would appreciate others‘ offering to help.
Gabriel shook his head, saying, “You should be more considerate. She’s a young girl, and I can’t keep
going over there all the time. If you have some free time, visit her and chat.”

Lindy’s hand that was holding the spoon paused.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter years of marriage, they understood each other without the need for many words. Sometimes, a
single glance was enough to convey their thoughts.
“Is there something special about Ms. Olivia?” Lindy asked hesitantly. With the couple’s current status
in society, there were very few people they needed to look up to. However, Gabriel had specially
advised her to spend more time with Olivia.
Gabriel shook his head. “I don’t know. I’ll call Berina and ask later.”
“You don’t know?” Lindy frowned deeply. She didn’t understand why he wanted her to spend time with
her.
Gabriel put down his cutlery, lowering his voice. “Did you notice the two people behind Ms. Olivia?”
“You mean the two bodyguards?”
Gabriel nodded and said firmly, “Yes, those two have a very strong presence. They’re not normal
bodyguards.”
Lindy’s eyebrows twitched, and panic flashed across her eyes. “Will it be dangerous for them to move
in?”
“Don’t worry.” Gabriel tried to comfort her. “Those two have a unique air about them. I can tell that they
have been in the military before. They’re not just ordinary soldiers, more likely to be special forces.”
Having reached the position of Gabriel, he possessed a certain level of insight. While others might not
perceive it, he could see through things at a glance.
The two of them looked lean and not like typical bodyguards. Yet, they exuded incredible explosiveness
and moved with a light, almost water–like step. These details indicated their martial arts skills.
In the past, people in their line of work had hired mercenaries from powerful countries, who were
known for their combat skills, experience, and ability to acquire equipment.
However, those were the practices of the past.
These days, the most formidable force was the domestic special forces in their own country. They
could take down a group of opponents even without the need for weapons.
However, domestic special forces were very rare. Once they retired, they

were typically assigned government roles rather than serving as private bodyguards.by.
They couldn’t be found on the open market.
Hence, this made the two individuals accompanying Ms. Olivia even more remarkable.
Gabriel had discreetly inquired with his own bodyguard captain just now about how he compared to
those two individuals, wanting to know who was superior.
The bodyguard captain responded that it was difficult to determine. He had hired his bodyguard caption
from a foreign country at a high cost. He possessed exceptional skills and had even secured the
national boxing championship.
Yet, even he couldn’t assess the capabilities of those two individuals. This showed the exceptional
abilities of the two individuals.
After finishing dinner, Gabriel called Berina and asked about Olivia’s background.
Berina responded with joy, “I knew you had a discerning eye. You’ll definitely be able to tell that she’s
different. She’s Olivia Taylor.”
Gabriel had heard this name before and found it familiar, but he couldn’t quite recall where he had
heard it before.
Berina reminded him, “Some time ago, there was quite a buzz about Olivia winning the Lasker Award.”
Gabriel finally understood and exclaimed. “She’s quite young and has already received such high
recognition, But she’s a biologist. Can she treat illnesses?”
“Do you know the renowned doctor Isaac Smith? She is his
granddaughter, and her medical skills have been instilled in her from a young age.”
“Isaac Smith?” Gabriel was indeed aware.
Even though Isaac was renowned and hailed as a miracle doctor,
Gabriel’s demeanor noticeably cooled.
This was because he had taken Anthony to visit Isaac before.
Isaac couldn’t cure the ailment, and Gabriel doubted if his granddaughter could.
It wasn’t that Gabriel underestimated Olivia, but she wasn’t widely

recognized. Besides, she was also very young.
“Curing the illness is secondary.” Berina sighed. “The main goal is to let you all make friends with
Olivia. Didn’t you just ask me about her special background?
“I’ll be honest with you, her identity is genuinely unique.”
Gabriel asked, “How unique it is?”
Berina furrowed her brow. “I can’t discuss it right now. You just have to know that there are only
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbenefits to befriending her, no disadvantages.” Gabriel didn’t press further but kept his sister’s words in
mind.
Olivia took a long nap. Upon waking up, she found herself staring at the ceiling with a contented smile
on her face.
She had a dream where Isaac had made her favorite burnt cheesecake. The cake was freshly baked,
straight out of the oven. Before it cooled down, she couldn’t resist taking a bite, which scalded her
mouth. Gillian was quite alarmed and quickly brought a glass of cold water. Jarron was extremely
worried, and his young face was wrinkled with concern. He resembled a protective older brother as he
scolded her, “You burnt your mouth, right? You shouldn’t be in such a hurry in the future.” Isaac fetched
a box of ointment and applied it to her mouth. It felt icy cool with a hint of minty fragrance.
It was a stiflingly hot summer with the relentless drone of cicadas. In those moments, Olivia had Isaac,
Jarron, and Gillian with her.
However, now… Olivia’s upturned smile suddenly faded as she touched her fingertips to her lips. She
felt an emptiness in her stomach and she was uncomfortable.
She got up, put on her slippers, and went to the bathroom to wash her face. As she looked into the
mirror at her pale and helpless reflection, she felt that she looked ugly.
She placed her hands on the corners of her mouth and tugged them up to force a smile. She reminded
herself, “I have to smile!”
After getting ready, Olivia decided to go to the kitchen to cook something. In the past, she had been the
best cook, and Isaac had loved her dishes. Even though she had rarely stepped into the kitchen, she
would occasionally prepare a few dishes.
Now, even if she wanted to cook in the kitchen, Isaac wouldn’t be able to

taste her cooking.
Nevertheless, Olivia saw it as an opportunity to improve her culinary skills. She believed that when
Isaac woke up, he would be able to enjoy the results of her efforts.
With a newfound sense of purpose, Olivia felt reenergized and ready to take on the days ahead.
