Seeing him in this state, Olivia threw herself over to Edward, knocking Alexander aside.
“Enough! Stop pushing him!”
“He suffered from injuries when he returned and hasn’t fully recovered! Whatever happened, he has
ended up like this, thanks to you.I beg you not to disturb him and let him recuperate, okay?”
She cried as she spoke.
Alexander wanted to say something else, but Lily could not bear to see Olivia crying so sadly and put
her hand on his shoulder.
“Give him some time.You both need to cool down.”
He had something else to say, but Lily had signaled him to stop with a look.
Alexander thought about it, then let go of the wheelchair before standing up.
He looked down at Edward and said, “I don’t know what you’ve been through or what you heard, but I

remember how I’ve treated you over the years?”
However, Edward kept looking away and did not want to listen.
Alexander narrowed his eyes and refrained from speaking further.
Olivia held Edward between her arms and turned her head aside.
She said, “Just go and leave us alone, okay?”
Lily gently said, “Olivia, can I take Edward’s wrist pulse?”
“Wrist pulse?”
Puzzled, Olivia looked over her shoulder at Lily.
“Yes, as you know, I know a bit about herbal medicine.I’d like to know how much Edward has
recovered and if he suffers from internal injuries.”
Lily then reached out her hand toward Edward.
Just as she was about to touch him, Edward withdrew his hand as if he got burned and said coldly,
“There’s no need!”
“You’re injured, and I can tell you haven’t received proper treatment.Although your wounds have
healed, you can’t detect internal injuries easily and might not immediately experience any symptoms.As
Olivia’s friend, I have no ill intentions.I won’t harm you in her presence, okay?” Lily said patiently.
Olivia looked at Edward and said, “Why don’t you let Lily try it?”
“What the f*ck for?” Edward snapped.
“What do you think I am? A guinea pig? Do you also want me to leave?”
He turned the wheelchair around as he spoke.Shocked by his manic behavior, Olivia hurriedly stopped
him.
“Don’t get mad.If you don’t want to let her try, then don’t.Getting agitated is not good for your recovery!”
She rose and turned around to face Lily.

something to say, wait until he’s in a better mood, okay?”
Although she turned Lily down, Lily knew Olivia no longer treated Alexander as an enemy and had
started to doubt Edward’s words.She was at least willing to communicate with them.
Lily nodded.
“Okay, take good care of him then.We’ll talk later.”
Olivia pursed her lips and did not answer.
Instead, she simply gestured for them to leave.
Meanwhile, Alexander looked deeply at Edward before leaving with Lily.
Olivia followed them to the door, but Lily stopped just as Olivia was about to close it.
Lily glanced inside the apartment and noticed that Edward could not see her from that angle.Then Lily
mouthed her words in silence.
Olivia was surprised and glanced inward.She saw Edward looking away from them in resentment.
