Lucas pondered for a while and replied, “Sure. You go rest first, I’ll catch up later.” Olivia instantly wore a big smile and her smile seemed to chase Lucas’s gloom away. He turned and entered the study room. Olivia only left after he closed the door.
Lucas made a call to Dr. Turner and told him Olivia’s condition. Dr. Turner agreed to search for professionals to come over. After hanging up, Lucas sat in the study room for a long while. The company’s documents were placed before him but he did not have the mood to view them. Olivia’s face kept on showing up in his mind.
Wasn’t it a good thing to him if that woman had died? Yet why did he refuse to let her die? He closed his eyes in tiresome. Someone suddenly knocked the door, “Who’s there?” His eyes went instantly open and he opened the door. Olivia was wearing a white dress and she was looking at him with hesitance, “Don’t you…want to rest now?”
Lucas’s eyes fell onto her skinny figure and he frowned, “Come in.” He put the coat which was hung on the wall on her when she entered the study room, “Are you getting tired of living too long?” How could she wear so few clothes today when she was having a fever yesterday?
He shot her a glare which scared her more, “No, I’m just being too anxious…” Olivia did not see him entering the bedroom after waiting for so long. She thought he had regretted and still wanted to sleep in the study room.
Lucas tidied up the things on the desk, turned around and held her hand, “Let’s go.” Olivia looked at their held hands and was having mixed feelings. Why was he being so nice to her? When she had almost given up on herself, it turned out Lucas was still holding her firmly. She looked down and followed Lucas blindly, yet she had secretly made a decision. She had to try hard to live even if it was to stay with him for a little longer.
Lucas almost never stepped into the bedroom. Although that was his house, he had never entered the room after Olivia came. A lot of stuff that girls liked was placed in the room. Yet the daily necessities or some baubles were in pairs, and it was not hard to see the little thoughts she had.
Olivia sat on the edge of the bed and played with her fingers. Lucas felt a bit awkward. That was a brand new experience to him yet he did not feel angry about that, “I’ll go take a bath now.” Olivia heaved a sigh of relief when Lucas entered the bathroom. Many people would probably feel surprised of their interactions as husband and wife.
She got up and poured herself a glass of water, yet she was having other things in mind. She exclaimed when the boiling water splashed onto her hand. The bathroom door was immediately opened shortly after she exclaimed and Lucas dashed out, “What’s wrong?” His upper body was naked and he was only wearing pants. His lean body was seen.
Olivia lowered her head with her face flushed and said, “Nothing, I just got scalded.” Lucas took her hand and examined. He only heaved a sigh of relief when the injury was not that bad. As he reacted, he realized she was in his arms with blushes on her face. Even her eyes looked misty to him.
Lucas was not a person that would treat himself badly. He did not care much regarding women and he only had close contact with Olivia after marriage. Now that she was facing him with such appearance, he could not help but feel his lower abdomen tightened and even his look slightly changed.
Yet Olivia did not sense anything wrong and she stared at him with a naïve look. Her almost complete trust triggered an outburst of emotion inside Lucas. He lowered his head and kissed her.
