Olivia walked over. Seeing her reach out her hands, Edward wanted to ask her what she wanted, then
felt his body rush forward. She rolled the wheelchair up to the couch and plopped onto it before
bringing it closer so he could face her.
Edward was stunned.
“Edward, there’s something I’ve wanted to tell you for some days, but I didn’t know how.” Probably
feeling brave due to the alcohol, Olivia rambled as she pulled at his wheelchair with one hand and held
up the beer can with another.
“Don’t you feel that you’ve become ill-tempered since you returned? It’s almost as if you’ve turned into
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇta different person!” She said, then tilted her head back and took another swig.
Edward said, “Oh? Have I?”
He answered coldly with a tightly furrowed brow.
“You have!” Olivia continued, pointing out, “At first I thought you must not be in a good mood because
you’re injured, and I could understand that. However, you’ve grown crankier and crankier after so many
days. You’ve never acted like this before!
“you never yell at me and tell me to do anything, let alone make me cry. N- Now that you saw I was
bleeding, you don’t even care!”
Shaking her injured hand, she pouted and felt he had mistreated her.
“who wouldn’t get injured or bleed?” However, Edward remained cold and looked down at his own
body. “I was wounded and bleeding, and you saw it.”
Olivia was speechless.
‘I did, but how could he say that? In the past, he would shower me with concern if I scraped my skin,
but now he feels nothing watching me bleed!’
“Fine, let’s not talk about it. What about you and Alexander?” A dismissive wave of her hands, and she
changed the subject. “You told me he pushed you in front of him to take the bullets, and that’s why you
were nearly killed.
“you also said he left you behind in Burnkwen to save his own a*s. I believed all that because you said
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmit. I believed what you said! However, why didn’t you confront him when they came just now? Why
didn’t you counter what he said? Why…”
“What’s there to talk about?” Edward said impatiently, “What could I do if he doesn’t admit it? What
proof do I have to show that he pushed me? We both know about it, and since he doesn’t admit it, ’ve
nothing to say.”
Stumped, Olivia felt he seemed to make sense.
‘However, Alexander and Lily looked confident, and I’ve known them for along time. Having been with
them for ages, would I not know their characters? Also, what Alexander said made sense.’
“Still, he was right that it’s not the first time you’ve taken bullets or knives for him. He knew you would
willingly give up your life for him. Why would he do such a thing? It just doesn’t add up! Also_”
Before Olivia could finish, Edward interrupted her rudely. “ Enough! If you think what he says is real and
that I’m lying, then leave! I have nothing to say! If you choose to believe him over me, stay with him!”
If Olivia was upset earlier on, she now felt as if she was stabbed with a knife, and her heart was aching.
