Chapter 745
Zac did not mention the specifics, and Olivia did not pursue it.
Anyway, she did not have to worry about any of this. Zac could handle it.
After Mrs. Simmons ran the bath, Olivia helped Zac into the bathroom. Then she called Ken over to help with the
rest.
When Ken came out, he complained while wiping water off his arms," Olivia, why don't you hire a caretaker or a
male nurse? Or you can handle everything by yourself? Don't you feel guilty treating me like a servant every time?"
Olivia pulled out the soup she had cooked all morning. "I don't trust others. Please accept this as a small token."
He wanted to say no, but the soup smelled so good. It smelled better than his chef's cooking, and he could not
refuse.
As the saying went, "Gifts blind the eyes". Ken gave in. He held the pot of soup and muttered, "If you don't trust
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtothers, do it yourself. That's the most reliable way."
Olivia's ears went red. "I... I have no choice. We're of different genders after all."
"Why treat him like a stranger when you're already married?"
Annoyed, Olivia turned around to enter her room.
Ken pressed his lips together and looked over his shoulders at Zac as he came out of the bathroom. "Zac, what are
you two doing? Are you going to pretend to be married forever?"
"Ken, don't say nonsense. Liv is sensitive. Be careful, or her imagination will run wild again."
"I'm looking out for both of you. You like her too anyway. And you're the right man for her. Why bother?"
Zac rolled his eyes at him. "Ken, don't blame me for losing my temper if you say any more nonsense."
Ken was helpless as he looked at the soup in his arms. Then he looked at Zac and shook his head. "I helped you take
a bath for nothing. You turned your back on me. I’m going home to enjoy my soup. Goodbye."
Once Ken was gone, Zac returned to the hallway and wheeled his wheelchair to Olivia's room door.
"Liv, are you asleep?"
"No."
"Don't worry about what Ken just said. He's drunk and talking nonsense."
Olivia leaned behind the door. After a moment of silence, she bit her lip and said, "He's right. I shouldn't keep
finding him for this."
"I know. I'll try to do it myself in the future. I've been working on my upper body strength."
With that said, Zac explained in case she misunderstood him, "I also went to the hospital to check. The doctor said I
could try physiotherapy next week. I'll..."
Before he could finish, Olivia opened the door and leaned against the door stile. "That's not what I meant."
Zac froze. "Huh?"
"I... I meant it's my job to... bathe you, not Ken."
Zac's expression changed slightly, his heart racing.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe had to admit he was not as calm as he used to be since the two of them lived together because of the fake
marriage, and he did not know how to keep a distance like before.
However, he always felt that it was wrong, and that he had overstepped his boundaries.
The light in the room was off, so he could not see her face. However, he could smell the faint fragrance, and he
unconsciously rolled his throat.
"Liv...“ His voice became a little hoarse. 'Really. You don't have to worry about what happened today. I'll ask Wilbur
to help me in the future. Don't worry."
With that said, he closed the door for her. "Go to bed and don't let your imagination run wild."
He quickly entered the bathroom, turned on the tap, and forced himself to cool down with cold water.
On the other hand, Olivia was so ashamed of her rejection that she dived under the covers without showing her
head.
'Oh no!
'Am I too unreserved?
'How could I suggest such a thing?
'Especially when I know he likes me... I've gone too far!'
