Chapter 285: Take Good Care of Your Injury
The next morning, when Olivia woke up, she found a trench coat draped over her.
She didn’t need to think twice to know that Victor had covered her with it while she was asleep the previous night.
Olivia sat up and instinctively looked around the hospital room for Victor, but he was nowhere to be found.
For some reason, she felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.
As she was lost in thought, the sound of the door opening caught her attention. She turned to see Victor entering quietly, wearing only a shirt and looking somewhat haggard.
Their eyes met, and Victor’s gaze deepened. His voice was a bit hoarse as he spoke, “You’re awake?”
Olivia nodded and hesitated for a moment before getting up and placing the trench coat over the child on the bed.
Seeing her action, a trace of warmth flickered in Victor’s eyes. He walked over to her and looked down at her bandaged wrist. “How’s the injury? Do you need to change the dressing?”
Olivia shook her head calmly. “No need. I can take care of it myself when I get home. The hospital’s medicine might not be better than what I have at home.”
Hearing Olivia’s confident words, Victor raised an eyebrow slightly. Considering Olivia’s profession and experience, he nodded without further comment.
After checking on Olivia’s injury, the two fell into an awkward silence.
“If there’s nothing else…”
Just as Olivia was about to say goodbye, she heard Sophia’s soft, tearful voice, “Olivia…”Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
It sounded like she was crying.
A look of distress flashed in Olivia’s eyes as she turned anxiously to look at Sophia.
Perhaps dreaming about the events of the previous night, Sophia was still asleep but her face was wet with tears, her small face scrunched up tightly.
“I’m here,” Olivia said gently as she carefully wiped away Sophia’s tears.
Sophia woke up crying and, upon seeing Olivia by her side, immediately threw herself into Olivia’s arms, sobbing quietly.
Compared to the previous night in the deep pit, Sophia’s cries were much more subdued now, but Olivia’s heartache was no less intense.
Sophia must have been so terrified that she even dreamt about it…
After soothing Sophia for a long time, she finally stopped crying and looked at Olivia with tear-filled eyes.
Beside them, Victor watched as Sophia called out for Olivia even in her sleep, his gaze darkening.
After talking to Sophia for a while, Victor called in a doctor to check on her.
Once it was confirmed that Sophia had no other issues, they proceeded to discharge her from the hospital.
As they left the hospital, Sophia clung to Olivia’s hand reluctantly.
Olivia patted the child’s head. “Take good care of your injury. If you miss me, just give me a call, okay?”
Sophia nodded but still didn’t want to let go.
Olivia couldn’t bear to make her let go either.
The events of the previous night had indeed frightened the child. Now, Olivia just wanted to be even kinder to Sophia than before.
Seeing Sophia’s stubbornness, Victor also felt a pang of heartache but knew that Olivia couldn’t stay with her forever. He gently took hold of Sophia’s wrist. “Sophia, let go of Olivia. We need to go home; Grandpa and Grandma are very worried about you.”
Only then did Sophia reluctantly release her grip, her face full of reluctance.
Olivia felt a moment of disorientation, thinking that Sophia’s disappointed expression was exactly like when she had refused her the previous afternoon.
“Goodbye, Olivia,” Sophia said softly, lowering her head.
Olivia was taken aback again. Aside from her dream talk earlier, this was the first time Sophia had spoken since the previous night.
And it was just to say goodbye to her.
Thinking about this made Olivia’s heart melt. She smiled and said goodbye to the child before quickly leaving, afraid that if she looked at Sophia any longer, she wouldn’t be able to leave.
