Getting Him Hooked: Mr. Freeman’s Indifferent Sinner Wife Chapter 271

Ken was startled for a moment. Then, he smiled and greeted him. “Zac, long time no see. Let’s grab a drink whenever you’re free.”

Zac ignored Ken and turned around. He spoke to Olivia gently. “Liv, I’ll leave Ken alone. I’ll go get something for you to eat.”

Then, he walked away.

Olivia looked at Zac, who was leaving, puzzled. “Dr. Lucas, did you offend Mr. Quinton in any way?”

They were on good terms, if she was not mistaken.

Ken smiled wryly and shook his head. “No, of course. He is on bad terms with John, and I’m John’s doctor, so he thinks I’m his enemy.”

Olivia nodded. “Well, that makes sense.”

“Mrs. Freeman, do you think so too?” Ken felt helpless. “I’m not on John’s side. I have no choice because the Freeman family is more powerful than the Quinton family. I support you deep down in my heart.”

It did not matter to Olivia whose side Ken was on, so she did not want to dwell on it. Instead, she asked, “When will Zyla wake up?”

“Luckily, the knife did not stab her heart, so it’s not serious, but…”

Ken continued after a pause. “After all, the wound is on the chest, and she lost a lot Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

of blood. We’ll know in these next few hours if she regains consciousness.”

They both looked at Zyla and said nothing more.

After all, it was not up to Ken when Zyla would regain consciousness. That depended on Zyla.

Olivia’s forehead puckered, and she felt guilty.

She should have insisted on sending Zyla far away. If she had done that, Zyla would be safe now.

It was her selfishness that made her let Zyla stay. After all, she did not want to face

these things alone.

She turned around to look at Ken. However, the look in his eyes surprised her. It was the same look she had seen John’s gaze when he looked at her years ago.

“Ken.”

Ken looked at her. “Yes, Mrs. Freeman?”

She pursed her lips and looked at him for a while before she asked, “Do you crush on Zyla?”

“Huh?” Ken was startled and flustered. He chuckled awkwardly and asked, “Mrs. Freeman, what are you talking about?”

However, Olivia ignored him and continued. “Ken, if you have feelings for Zyla, promise me that you’ll treat her well and dote on her for life. Don’t be like John, or I won’t let you off the hook.

“And if you don’t like Zyla, then promise me you won’t flirt with her. In the future, you’ll only need to help me take care of her occasionally as a friend.”

“Mrs. Freeman, w-what do you mean by that?” Ken panicked. “Why does it sound like you’re speaking your final words..?”

Olivia chuckled. “Take these as my final words. If you think of me as a friend, promise me you’ll do what I told you.”

“Mrs. Freeman…”

“Promise me,” Olivia repeated with a stern look on her face.

Her sudden change in expression shocked Ken. He nodded quickly, “I promise.”

Only then did she seem relieved. Then, she looked at Zyla on the hospital bed again.

She thought, ‘Zyla, I’m afraid I can’t accompany you for the rest of your life. Ken is reliable. In the future, I will be able to rest assured if he’s there for you.’

Suddenly, she began to cough. She quickly covered her mouth, turned around, and secretly took a painkiller. Then, she wiped the cold sweat off her forehead with Zac’s

handkerchief.

“I think I have a cold.”

However, Ken did not seem to believe her and stared at her for a long time until Zac returned. Only then did he withdraw his gaze.

Zac poured a cup of warm water and handed it to Olivia. “Liv, drink some water.”

Olivia needed water to wash the blood out of her throat, so she drank the water

without thinking.

After a while, she felt dizzy and leaned against Zac as she frowned. “W-why do I feel

so sleepy?”

“Go to sleep if you’re sleepy.”
