Chapter 1396
"Pardon me, I do not get what you're trying to say, Mr. Maxwell."
"You don't have to play dumb. It doesn't suit you. My demand is simple, if you tend to my injuries, then
all of that is just a joke. Or else…"
He would claim that it was an act of terrorism. Then, things would get blown out of proportion.
Olivia slowly walked toward Ethan.
"Letdo it, Ethan."
"Liv…"
Ethan knew what Wayne was after. He didn't want Olivia to go through with it.
She wouldn't have to care about all this if she didn't accept the Heaths as her family. But she was part
of the family. So, she couldn't stand by and do nothing.
Linus personally flew all the way to Raka to save her. It was tfor her to do something for the family.
It was just tending to Wayne's injuries. It wasn't anything much.
She patted his hand. "I'll be done with it very quickly."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWayne was nothing more than a regular patient to her.
Ethan frowned as he could only watch helplessly as she walked toward another man.
She was just going to tend to ssimple injuries, and yet Ethan felt like someone was stabbing a
knife into his heart.
He couldn't imagine the pain Olivia felt when he walked toward Marina. At that moment, it was just
karma coming back to bite him. It was his punishment.
Wayne looked at Ethan with a smug expression. "If you please, Ms. Heath."
Ethan's arms hung at his sides as he clenched his fists.
"You're welcome, Mr. Maxwell."
Olivia took out a cotton ball, dabbed it with salcohol, and pressed it against his face. Wayne
winced and almost cried out in pain.
But Olivia remained calm. "Mr. Maxwell, I said snonsensical stuff in the car while I was in shock. I
even scratched you. Can you please forgive me?"
"Of… Of course." Wayne winced, revealing his teeth. He was sure Olivia was doing it on purpose.
"I'll just have to trouble you to tend to all my injuries as I recover, Ms. Heath."
Ike and Alan winced as they looked at how roughly Olivia was treating Wayne. They started to wonder
if he was a masochist.
Was one tnot enough? Was he planning on getting injured by her again? Was he addicted to the
pain?
Ethan slammed his palm on the table and stood up. "Stop pushing your luck!"
Olivia replied. "Sure. It's the least I could do."
Wayne said to Ethan smugly. "It seems like Ms. Heath is a very considerate person. Or should I say,
that she enjoys tending to my wounds?"
Ike was rendered speechless. In the past, Wayne had no interest in women at all. But he was strutting
around like a peacock, trying to catch Olivia's attention.
The Tanner brothers got second-hand embarrassment from Wayne's actions. They had the urge to stuff
scotton balls down his throat to stop him from talking.
Olivia quickly smeared sointment on Wayne's face with a cotton swab.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm'It's done."
"So quickly?"
Olivia maintained a robotic smile. "It's just sscratches, of course it was fast. How much longer did
you want it to be?"
Mason covered his mouth with a fist and cleared his throat.
"Alright, Olivia. Stop threatening our guest. Cover here. Mr. Maxwell said the proposal he has
concerns you. So, sit down and listen in."
Olivia felt a chill down her spine. She had a feeling that nothing good was going to cout of
Wayne's mouth.
But Mason had spoken. She had to stay. She sat down and acted obediently.
"Can we start the meeting now, Mr. Maxwell?" Updated at Drąmanovеls.cоm
Wayne took a cup of tea that a maid handed her and took a sip.
"Tellmore."
Mason remained calm. "That's new. Carathia and Arlandia have been at odds for decades. You're
trying to form an alliance now? Something smells fishy here."
"No, it's very simple. Our countries can be joined by marriage. I know you have a daughter, Mr. Heath.
I've cto ask for her hand in marriage."
