Finished
Catherine was King’s trusted assistant and had a significant influence at Horizon Ventures. Her words were essentially a representation of King’s.
Given the severity of the situation, Olivia naturally agreed without a second thought. “Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of King.”
“Thank you, Olivia.” The voice full of gratitude from Catherine came through the phone.
Olivia couldn’t help but laugh. “Since when did you become so polite?”
Catherine also laughed, then asked, “How’s my godson doing?”
“He’s doing okay. The doctor said it was just a seasonal flu. Once the fever subsided, everything will be fine.”
“That’s good. I just wish I wasn’t in such a rush to get back home, or else I would have visited him.” Catherine sighed, her tone laced with a hint of helplessness.
“Don’t worry, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future.” Olivia comforted.
The two of them exchanged a few more words before ending the call.
Benjamin was standing behind her. As soon as she hung up the phone, he asked, “Is Catherine planning to return to her home country?”
Olivia turned around, looked at him, nodded, and said, “So, you should help out at King’s.”
“Ms. Olivia, what about you?” Benjamin turned to glance at the ward. Nathan was still there. How could he feel at ease leaving Olivia alone with Nathan?
“No worries, I’m right here. Do you think I can’t take care of a child?” Olivia gave him a disgruntled glance.
Benjamin wanted to clarify that she had misunderstood, but before he could get a word in, Olivia patted his shoulder. With a serious tone, she said, “Benjamin, I only feel at ease when you’re handling things.”
“All right, I’m on my way now.” Left with no other choice, Benjamin had to depart first.
When Olivia returned to the ward, she was met with the sight of Nathan’s displeased expression. Even his gaze toward her was filled with a chilling coldness.
She couldn’t help but furrow her brows. Who had upset him this time?
“Are you busy, Ms. Monroe?” Nathan asked coldly, a hint of sarcasm lacing his words.
Olivia was utterly clueless as to how she had offended him, finding the whole situation inexplicably baffling.
“It’s fine, just dealing with some personal matters,” she responded nonchalantly.
The hospital room fell quiet once again.
Back when she used to work for him as a maid, the two of them hardly ever had anything to talk about.
One reason was that Nathan seldom spoke, and the other reason was her awkward status at that time, which made it inappropriate for her to share her many thoughts with him despite her desire to do so.
Even when she was bullied at school, she always chose to endure it in silence.
After all those years, coupled with their intertwined history, they had nothing to say to each other.
That sensation left Nathan feeling quite displeased, particularly when he thought back to the last time at the hospital. The ease and naturalness with which she had conversed with King, even showing signs of care, was especially irksome.
The oppressive aura around Nathan grew increasingly intense.
meeting his icy gaze.
A sudden jolt startled her heart. What on earth was going on with him?
At that moment, she felt the chill radiating from him. Was he upset about being called over so late?
Olivia hesitated for a moment before she finally spoke. “I’m sorry for having you make this trip so late in the night.”
What on earth was she apologizing for? Nathan felt even more upset!

She continued, “He’s actually very sensible most of the time, but when he falls ill, he becomes fussy and acts a bit spoiled.”
Upon saying that, she lowered her head and let out a helpless laugh. “It was the same when we were abroad. He always needed me by his side, especially during the middle of the night. He would even cry… He just couldn’t be alone. This time, he insisted on seeing you, and I had no choice.”
She loved Liam dearly and hoped that Nathan would understand.
