Chapter 614
The incident just now was simply too shocking, so the police quickly arrived at the scene.
Some passersby who joined in themotion were terrified by the turn of events. They all ended up
getting arrested.
Olivia had to go to a hospital as soon as possible for treatment. Thus, she wasn’t called over to record
a statement right away.
Fortunately, the area of the wound wasn’t toorge. She had also carried out emergency treatment on
time, so the damage was minimal.
After Olivia received advanced treatment, Madam Burgess finally rxed. She let out a heavy sigh.
“It’s a good thing that you reacted quickly, Mrs. Miller. If not, it would’ve be a tragedy.”
Olivia patted Madam Burgess on the shoulder. “Don’t be afraid. We’re fine, aren’t we? Also, you
shouldn’t try to protect me at dangerous times like that.
“If the acid had sshed onto you, the consequences would’ve been unthinkable.”
At the mention of the matter, Madam Burgess was furious. “Who knew that the guy would be so cruel? I
thought that it was paint or something. I never expected it to be sulfuric acid.”
“Those people came prepared, so you can’t predict their movements withmon sense. You must’ve
been so shocked today.
“Don’t say that, Mrs. Miller. It’s my fault …”This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.
“It’s over now, so let’s go home. Prepare something delicious for me tonight. I want to eat two huge
servings to calm my nerves,” Olivia teased.
“Okay.” Madam Burgess wiped her tears.
She had been alive for quite some time, but she still felt a chill run down her spine when she recalled
the incident.
If there had been even one mistake in the incident today, Olivia’s life would’ve been ruined.
As they left the hospital, the bone-chilling wind blew at them from all directions. Thanks to that, Olivia’s
mind cleared a little bit.
A man dashed up to Olivia, pulling her into his embrace.
Ethan’s voice rang out from above her head. “Are you okay, Liv?”
Olivia almost couldn’t catch her breath as Ethan hugged her tightly.
She sensed that Ethan’s heart was racing, and his body was trembling a little as well. When she met
his gaze, she found his eyes filled with worry.
To be honest, after everything that happened, Olivia felt uneasy and anxious inside.
But all those emotions disappeared with this embrace.
It felt as if her world was raining heavily, but when he arrived, the whole world lit up.
She recalled the stories Madam Burgess told her about Ethan’s childhood. People like him probably felt
the least secure.
Reaching out, Olivia patted Ethan on the back. She coaxed him gently like she would a child.
“It’s okay. I’m fine now, aren’t I?”
Ethan’s gaze turned cold as it focused on the gauze covering the back of her hand. Olivia said with a
smile, “It looks serious, but it’s nothing much. Only a few drops got on my skin.”
“I’m sorry, Liv.”
“It has nothing to do with you. You didn’t want me to be troubled by the rumors online. I was the one at
fault. I should’ve
listened to you and stayed at home.”
Olivia wrapped her arms around his waist, nuzzling against his neck. “It’s alright, it’s in the past now.
I’m alive and well. Let’s go home now. It’s so cold outside.”
It was only then that Ethan’s cold expression softened. “Alright, let’s go home.”
He carefully led Olivia to the car and then opened the car door for her. “Hold on, let me make a call.”
“Okay.”
After Ethan closed the door, his expression instantly turned cold as he turned around. Taking out his
phone, he walked to the side to make a call.
Olivia couldn’t figure out what he was saying. She only felt that his figure looked extra cruel.
“I don’t care what you have to do. Get the person out for me. Yes, just tell him that we won’t hold him
ountable.”
