StarNovelChapter 549
By the time Olivia had washed her face and got out, Fred had put breakfast on the table.
There was a glass of orange juice, a sandwich, and a bowl of chicken soup.
It was simple, but it was all her favorite food.
“There’s so much food.”
“Liv, this is our last breakfast for a while. I must put in some effort, of course.”
Olivia pressed her lips together. “Fred, you’ve grown up.”
“I’m going to be taking care of Lyla by myself. I have to grow up, of course.”
“It’s great that you figured it out.”
With that said, Olivia looked down and took a spoonful of chicken soup. “Yes, your cooking is still the
best.”
Then she took another bite of the sandwich and said with a nod, “The sandwich is delicious too. I’m sad
when I think how I won’t be able to eat it again.”

deteriorates over time.”
Olivia took it and drank it without hesitation.
“Dig in. Don’t just watch me eat. You have a plane to catch after the meal.”
“Okay.”
Fred began eating. He focused on Olivia out of the corner of his eye as he ate.
However, he got a little anxious when Olivia seemed all right after some time.
“Liv, do you feel anything different?”
Olivia was confused. “Different? No.”
‘Why isn’t she feeling different?”
While Fred was thinking about the problem, he suddenly felt tired. His eyelids felt heavy, and he
soon fell on the table.
Olivia watched him fall and sighed.
“Fred, do you think I can’t tell what you’re trying to do?”
She could not believe that Fred had suddenly become so obedient.
Something must be wrong if things were out of the ordinary!
She already knew Fred would do something, so she played along.
Unexpectedly, he tried to spike her drink as Zac did.
After finishing her soup, Olivia dialed an unfamiliar number.
“Come on upstairs.”
The doorbell soon rang.
Olivia went to open the door, and there stood the man who had picked her up that day.
“This is between you and me. Can you promise me that?”
The man nodded.
“Not even Sir. You can’t tell him.”
With that said, Olivia handed him a check. “I know it’s not much, but I can’t ask you to work for
nothing.”
The man took the check and glanced at the amount. “I can’t take it.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Take it as hush money, okay?”
He had no choice but to accept it. “Okay, what can I do for you?”
Olivia pointed to Fred, who had fainted. “I need you to help me carry my friend into the car. Then I need
you to help me with some luggage.”
“Sure, no problem.”
After they were done carrying the luggage, Olivia let the man head downstairs before going into the
room to pick up Lyla. She grabbed her bag and went downstairs.
Watching Lyla sound asleep, Olivia pressed her lips together. “Lyla, I’m sorry. I have no choice.”
Once she got downstairs, she put Lyla in the back seat and placed the bag in Fred’s arms. She gazed
at both of them, clenched her teeth, and shut the car door without hesitation.
She looked at the man. “Please help me take them to Boulder City’s airport.”
The man nodded. “Sure. You’ll have someone else protecting you over here. Don’t worry.”
Olivia froze, smiled, and shook her head, saying, “No thanks. I’ll be fine.”
Then she took one last glance at them in the car before turning around and saying, “Let’s go!”
She dared not look any longer for fear that she might be reluctant.
Only when she heard the car leave did she turn and look. Tears poured out her eyes, blurring her sight.
“Fred, Lyla, I’m sorry I lied to you.”
There was no way she could go to Rushia so soon.
