C4 Despair
Seeing the man who was supposed to be watching Evelyn Madden's performance appear here, a trace of joy rose in Olivia's heart, but it disappeared in an instant.
She had already woken up a long time ago.
"You actually came over." She motioned for Ryan Hale to put her down. She walked unsteadily towards Josiah and asked, "Are you worried about me?"
This sentence was full of hope, but Olivia knew that she was handing the knife that could hurt her to Josiah.
Ever since she found that the anti-depressant medicine was useless, she began to give up on herself.
Or it could be said that after the candy wrapped in poison was licked, she gave up resisting.
If she immediately spat it out, perhaps she could still be saved, but he covered her mouth and ordered her to swallow it, and she was willing to cooperate.
Josiah bent slightly and his cold eyes met Olivia's amber eyes. Each word was like an invisible whip.
"I'm worried that you won't be able to repay the debt you owe Joshua."
Olivia froze on the spot. Her eyes were dull and dull, and wherever her gaze went, it was gray.
She had been covered in wounds all along the way. She had accepted that Josiah did not love her at all.
Now, she had used up all of her strength to convince herself that she did not divorce because she wanted to atone for Joshua, not because she still loved Josiah.
Ryan Hale strode forward and protected Olivia behind him. He shouted angrily, "Josiah, don't provoke Olivia! She has..."
"senior!"
Olivia grabbed Ryan Hale's arm tightly. The veins on the back of her bony hand bulged.
Seeing her pleading eyes, Ryan Hale changed his words. "Olivia is not in good health. She needs to be hospitalized for a while."
Josiah said disdainfully, "Didn't she just sprained her ankle? Is there a need to be so careful?"
"In the eyes of those who care about her, she's worth it!" Ryan Hale retorted.
"It is indeed worth it. He has even found a backup."
Olivia blurted out, "Josiah, he is different from you."
She could accept him bringing his mistress into the house, but he could not insult Ryan Hale.
Josiah narrowed his eyes and looked at Olivia's pale but unusually beautiful face.
"Of course we are different. He is just another fool who is seduced by you and cannot see your true face."
"I am not the kind of relationship you think he has with me..." Olivia clenched her fist and forced herself to stop trembling.
"I do not think it is stupid to like Olivia." Ryan Hale did not deny it. He even raised his voice, "Josiah, let her go if you don't like her!"
Josiah's cold eyes suddenly darkened. He felt a burning desire in his heart.
"Let her go? Unless she dies."
The air instantly froze.
Olivia was nailed to the ground by this sentence. Her heart felt like it was being pinched by a hand. At this moment, it was as if she had died along with his cold and heartless voice.
Suddenly, exclamations sounded out in the surroundings, and Ryan Hale and Josiah started fighting in the corridor.
Compared to Josiah who had grown up in the slums, Ryan Hale was just a weak scholar. Very quickly, he was at a disadvantage.
"Stop fighting!"
Olivia came back to her senses. She hurriedly rushed forward in panic and hugged Josiah from behind.
Ryan Hale seized the opportunity and punched him in the face.
Josiah kicked him away with a kick. The tip of his tongue was pressed against his painful cheek, and there was a flash of hostility in his eyes. Was she going to protect another man just like that?
"Shall we go home? Our business has nothing to do with Doctor Tang..." Olivia hugged him tightly and did not let go. Her voice was trembling.
Josiah's body was slightly sluggish. With a cold snort, he dragged her away.
Ryan Hale wanted to chase after her but was stopped by the director who rushed over.
Olivia was dragged until she stumbled and stumbled. Her face was even paler. A familiar bloody heat current surged up her throat.
She tried her best to swallow it, but red still seeped out between her fingers.
