After Flash Marriage, I Found That My Husband Is A Billionaire

chapter 45 I want to carry Mrs. Si upstairs

The inconspicuous car drove smoothly on the road.

The car was quiet, with only the soft music playing in the background.

Although it seemed like Xavier was focused on driving the car, in fact, he had been waiting for Olivia's answer.

He thought, "I never expected Zoey to suddenly show up and help Sofia." NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

After all, he had tried every means over the years but failed to invite Zoey over, so how did Olivia and a mere Dean Zhao get Zoey here so easily?

It wasn't until internal news revealed that Alice and a batch of advanced medical equipment had arrived in the country and were being sent to this hospital that Xavier was sure that the mysterious woman, whom he had never met before, was really going to appear at the hospital.

Xavier made a lot of preparations to apprehend Zoey, but even if he was in Jianglin City this time and on his territory, he still failed.

He could never figure out how the woman escaped from the traps he had set, and he desperately wanted to meet her.

So, when Xavier heard Olivia ask him about Zoey, Xavier thought maybe Olivia could tell him where Zoey was.

Or, at the very least, Olivia might be aware of something Xavier didn't know about.

However, Xavier waited for a long time and has yet to hear a response from Olivia.

At first, he thought she was pondering the answer, but when he turned around, Xavier saw that Olivia had fallen asleep.

"Didn't she say she is not tired?" Xavier mused inwardly.

While he didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Olivia's reaction, some bizarre thoughts flashed across Xavier's mind again.

Especially when he stopped below Olivia's house and saw the exhaustion on Olivia's face.

Xavier's expression suddenly darkened.

He grabbed Olivia's hand abruptly, but the sleeping woman suddenly woke up and quickly attacked him in return.

Xavier dodged her kicking calf and waving arms easily. His heart trembled when he saw her slightly blurry but sharp gaze resembling a recently awakened beast.

He couldn't help but wonder whether Olivia was really an average returned student from country Y, like what her personal information suggested, because why would an ordinary girl have such quick reflexes and penetrating gaze?

At that moment, Xavier finally realized that Olivia was similar to him.

He could almost conclude that Olivia's identity was not as straightforward as it seemed and that she was not just a normal design graduate student.

"What are you doing?" Olivia's arms were restrained, and she couldn't move. She slowly regained her consciousness, blinked, and looked at Xavier warily.

Xavier lowered his head to look at Olivia's slender hands. A thoughtfulness flashed across his eyes when he saw the deep and shallow marks on her fingers and palm.

"I just want to carry you upstairs so you can rest." Xavier had a demure smile on his devilishly handsome face, and his charming voice exuded both seductive and dangerous auras.

"So why did you react so violently, Mrs. Si?" Xavier lifted his brow.

Olivia had been living life like a displaced refugee all these years, encroaching on dangerous territories all the time so she would remain alert even as she slept so that she could detect danger and react to it at any time.

Earlier, when Xavier grabbed her hand, he radiated a dangerous aura. Therefore, Olivia reacted instinctively, too, without having second thoughts.

Noticing that Xavier was staring at her hands, Olivia's eyes turned darker. She quickly retracted her hands, straightened her clothes as if nothing had happened, pushed him away and exited the car.

"I didn't fall asleep. I was just resting my eyes, thinking about something."

Xavier didn't expose her lies. However, the way he stared at her had changed.

"Okay. Let's go upstairs."

Olivia walked into the elevator first and waited for Xavier to join her before going up.

When they got home, Olivia returned to her room immediately to shower.

During this period, there was absolutely no communication between the two of them.

Olivia soaked herself in the comfortable bathtub in the bathroom. She looked at the dent marks left on her fingers from holding scalpels and scissors for a long time, getting lost in thoughts.

"Xavier saw them, so did he guess my identity?" Olivia wondered.

Olivia took a deep breath, not wanting to overthink it. She immersed her whole body in the water and blanked out.

After a while, she emerged from the water, panting heavily. Her chaotic and muddled thoughts turned clear again after she relaxed, not thinking about anything.

A faint, pleasant smell wafted into her nostrils when she walked out of the bathroom in her bathrobe.

Olivia turned to look at the coffee table. Sure enough, she saw a steaming hot bowl of minestrone soup on it.

At that, her stomach growled.

Olivia had just eaten a piece of bread in the afternoon before heading out, and that was the only thing she ate for the rest of the day, so she was starving right now.

Olivia tied up her long hair, hurriedly sat on the chair, picked up her cutlery and started digging in.

She finally felt alive again after filling her stomach.

After blow-drying her hair, Olivia lay on the bed and reminisced about the delicious soup she just had. Then, the woman took out her phone and sent a message to Xavier.

She wrote: [Thank you!]

After clicking send, Olivia threw her phone aside and prepared to sleep.

But inexplicably, Xavier's face kept showing up before her.

One moment, he was smiling coquettishly at Olivia. In another moment, he looked lazy, carefree, and without a care in the world. Then, it was a scene of a serious-looking Xavier cooking in the kitchen.

They had not known each other for a long time and had little contact. Still, Xavier began to integrate into Olivia's life slowly.

The world Olivia thought no one could break into had been slowly and unknowingly infiltrated by Xavier.

She picked up her phone and noticed Xavier had yet to reply. She hesitated, quickly typed a line of text and sent it to Xavier. After that, she turned off her phone and slept.

Yes, she was afraid that she would regret it.

Being soft-hearted would be fatal to her, especially when it came to being soft-hearted toward a man.

But then, Olivia found herself unable to treat Xavier cruelly.

Meanwhile, Xavier had just finished eating his soup and took a shower. He walked out to find that two messages were waiting for him.

He opened it, never expecting the messages from Olivia.

Xavier smiled, wanting to flirt with Olivia.

But after reading the text messages, his flirtatious mood vanished, leaving only shock and confusion behind.

The dent mark he had just seen on Olivia's hand reappeared in his mind again.

Combining that memory with the scene of her calmly walking out of the operating room after the operation, Xavier's chest heaved violently.

"Can she be…"

Ring!

His rang suddenly, and Xavier was so frightened that he almost dropped the phone onto the ground.

"Speak!"

"Mr. Xavier, the hospital's surveillance system has been tampered with. We tried to fix it for a long time to no avail. You may need to work on it yourself," Vic reported delicately.

"Send them over to me," Xavier said. He hung up and turned on the computer.

He narrowed his eyes, seeing the modified and deleted surveillance video sent by Vic. Xavier turned his head and glanced at the still-lit mobile phone screen with Olivia's message across it.

She texted: [Send the patient's report to me but don't get your hopes up.]

The smile on Xavier's face etched deeper.
