SWNOVELS Chapter 22
Chapter 22
Uncle Wallace collapsed to the ground as his head bled profusely.
However, Dorothy did not want him dead just yet. After all, if he died here, she would surely be investigated.
She thought for a while, then an idea came to her head.
She might as well wait for Olivia to come back and then put the blame on her.
Dorothy was not sure what else this old geezer knew.
That was what worried her the most. That was why she had to get to the bottom of it.
She found a rope on the side of the room and then quickly tied Uncle Wallace up with it. After that, she grabbed a towel and stuffed it in his mouth.
Immediately after she did that, Dorothy heard the sound of the doorbell coming from downstairs. Wes was home.
She quickly closed the door and walked downstairs.
Halfway down the stairs, she realized that she moved too hard just now, and that caused her wound to stain her shirt red.
Dorothy had no choice but to run to the other room and get a change of clothes.
However, her bandages were stained with blood. How was she going to explain it to her doctor later on?
Before she could think of anything else, Wes was already walking up the stairs with the meatballs.
"Ms. Ellis, I have your dumplings with me."
Dorothy frowned, changed her shirt, and tidied her hair. She then opened the door and took the meatballs, slamming the door on Wes.
After that, she quickly sent a text message.
"Please help me delete the video camera footage on the premises, thanks."
In the hospital.
It was five in the afternoon, but Olivia was still unconscious. John did not leave her side either.
Zac again entered the ward and said, "You should go home and rest. I can take care of her."
John shook his head as he gripped Olivia's hand while clenching the side of the bed. He clenched so hard his veins showed and his fingers went pale. "I'm waiting here until she wakes up."
Zac could not bear to see John like this. He frowned and said to him, "It's too late to regret now. Since you're

regretting it now, why did you do that back then?"
John smiled coldly.
Why did he even do that in the first place?
He had no idea why he was very afraid at this moment. The moment when he saw Olivia's pale face, felt her cold body. He was really afraid. However, he still hated her.
Yet, he wants her to be by his side. He wants her to live forever. He would not allow her to leave him this early!
He had not gotten enough of his revenge just yet!
Zac did not know what to say, so he simply stared at the woman laying on the bed.
He also had no idea how to describe Olivia at that
moment.
However, when he saw her like that. He felt a sense of guilt.
If he did something over the past two years, or if he did not give up on her the last time around, things might not have turned out this way.
He could not explain it, but he knew that he had to treat Olivia a little better in the future.
All of a sudden, Olivia's eyelids twitched. Her lips moved as if she was about to say something.
Zac hurriedly went outside to get the doctor.
"Doctor, she's awake!"
John, on the other hand, stood up and stared at her as if he might miss this precious moment if he blinked.
Olivia felt a heaviness on her head and some shortness of breath. It felt like she had just run through a wall of fire, feeling hot and unbearably uncomfortable. She struggled for a while, and then finally managed to open her eyes.
The first thing she saw was John's face.
He still looked as handsome, classy, and cold. However, he seemed to look a little tired and the emotion on his face was gentle.
She could not believe it. Why would John look at her like that?
It must have been an illusion.
Thus, she closed her eyes, waited for a few moments, and opened them once again.
John was still there.
However, the gentleness on his visage was gone.
However, the sharpness in his eyes emanated an aura of
coldness as they gazed at her.
"Olivia, you're finally awake..."
So it was really an illusion. At that very moment, she felt her chest cramp up in pain.
'Johnny, now I know what it feels like to be in a dream...'
