Chapter 306: Took Care All Night
After a while, Dr. Valdez came in from outside, holding the necessary items for the IV drip.
After setting up the IV for Olivia, Dr. Valdez turned to Victor and said, “Miss Prescott needs quite a few IV drips. Someone might need to stay tonight to help change them.”
Upon hearing this, Olivia spoke up, “Emily, I’ll trouble you tonight.”
Emily naturally felt obliged and was about to agree when someone interrupted her, “I’ll stay.”Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone in the room looked surprised.
Emily was a bit taken aback. She remembered that last time Miss Prescott seemed very resistant to Mr. Leer staying at home, and even the two children were reluctant. But now that the doctor was brought by Mr. Leer, she couldn’t say much.
Emily looked at Olivia with some difficulty.
Olivia frowned slightly, “No need. Emily can help me change it. Mr. Leer is busy with work, there’s no need to waste time here.”
The two children echoed, “We can also help take care of Mommy. We appreciate your kindness, Uncle.”
They just wanted the doctor to check on their mommy, it didn’t mean they could accept their dad staying.
Sophia felt a bit disappointed.
If Daddy had to leave, she definitely couldn’t stay either.
But she was really worried about Olivia…
Victor’s gaze swept over Sophia’s face and landed back on Olivia. He spoke in a deep voice, “You’re very sick. Sophia definitely won’t want to go back with me, and I can’t leave her alone. So, no matter what, I’ll stay tonight. As for Emily, please take the children to rest.”
Emily hesitated and looked at Olivia.
Olivia glanced at Sophia beside her.
Sophia pursed her lips, her face full of worry for her. Seeing Olivia looking at her, she said in a childish voice, “Olivia is sick, I’m not leaving.”
After saying that, she lay on the bed and clung tightly to Olivia’s arm like an ornament.
It was the first time Sophia had acted so spoiled towards her.
Olivia couldn’t bring herself to tell her to leave.
Moreover, she was sick now, and given the man’s stubborn nature, it wasn’t something she could resolve with a few words.
After a while, Olivia could only remain silent, which was considered tacit approval for Victor to stay.
Victor’s eyes softened. He asked Dr. Valdez some precautions, saw him off downstairs, then came back and silently sat on the sofa in Olivia’s room.
The children gathered around the bed, talking to Olivia affectionately.
Before long, Olivia drifted off to sleep.
Victor asked Emily to take the children to rest and stayed behind to take care of Olivia himself.
Because he had to constantly monitor the IV drip, Victor barely slept all night.
The next morning, when Olivia woke up, she was still a bit groggy. It took her a few seconds to remember that Victor had stayed to take care of her all night.
She looked up and saw that the IV drip was finished. Victor was sitting on a chair by her bed, holding her wrist to prevent her from moving in her sleep.
Perhaps she had moved unconsciously when she woke up. Victor slowly opened his eyes, which were bloodshot, indicating he hadn’t rested well during the night.
Their eyes met, and Olivia’s gaze trembled slightly before she nonchalantly looked away.
“How are you feeling?” Victor’s voice sounded a bit hoarse.
Olivia then turned back to meet his gaze, “Much better now. Thank you, Mr. Leer.”
Compared to yesterday, she felt much stronger.
Victor nodded. Knowing she didn’t want to talk much with him, he briefly relayed Dr. Valdez’s precautions and then got up to take Sophia away.
Sophia confirmed that Olivia was recovering and obediently followed her daddy back.
