I’m Someone Else

Chapter 122

“You’re such a fool! Why did you shield me from the attack? Don’t you know that it pains me more to see you injured? Promise me you’ll never do that again okay? I was so scared that you would never wake up again. I… I’m scared…”

Olivia cried and vented her heart out.

After such an ordeal, she finally realized just how important Thomas was to her. Her feelings for him were clear to her at last.

Thomas was startled and a little flustered. He was not expecting Olivia’s extreme reaction.

He looked at her tear-streaked face. She must’ve cried her tears dry while I was unconscious.

“Everything’s alright. Don’t cry. It’s all over. I’m fine now, aren’t I?” Thomas patted Olivia on the shoulder as he consoled her. “I told you that as long as I’m alive, I won’t let anyone hurt you. I won’t die so easily. You wouldn’t have anyone to protect you if I were dead.”

Thomas’ words weren’t particularly romantic in any way, but Olivia felt as if she had been hit by the love arrow anyway. Her heart was filled with warmth and happiness.

Quincy and the others were thrilled to see that Thomas was awake, but their expressions turned grim when they saw how intimate Thomas and Olivia were.

They were aware of Olivia’s unique role, and from what they saw, they were sure that Olivia and Thomas had developed feelings for each other…

No! That can’t happen! If the two of them got involved with each other, it would spell doom and calamity! Olivia’s fate was decided a long time ago! She can’t be allowed to ruin Thomas’ life! They must be stopped!

John called out firmly, “Sean, Will, leave the room. I have something I wish to say to Thomas. Don’t come back in without our permission.”

Sean and William exchanged glances. They could tell from John’s tone that it wasn’t going to be a pleasant conversation. Although they were tempted to stick around, the look in their grandfathers’ eyes convinced them otherwise. They had no choice but to leave the room.

Rose wanted to talk to Thomas. He had left midway through their meal last time and she wanted to ask him what exactly happened. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

However, before she could squeeze over to the bed, Raymond called out, “You too, Rose. Go and wait outside.”

Rose looked at Raymond. She sensed that the atmosphere in the room was a little tense, so he nodded and followed Sean out.

Quincy patted Olivia on the shoulder. “Olivia, Thomas’ body is still recovering. Why don’t you head back and make some nourishing chicken soup for him?”

Olivia couldn’t bear to leave Thomas, but Quincy had a point, so she reluctantly took one last look at Thomas before leaving.

“Thomas, I remember telling you that you can fall in love with anyone else in the world except for Olivia. Well, I’m going to repeat myself today. You mustn’t get into a relationship with her!”

Raymond quickly added, “That’s right, Thomas! If you feel like dating someone, there’s no problem at all. My granddaughter is a good-natured and pretty young woman. If you’re interested, I’m more than happy to matchmake the two of you. However, you can’t develop feelings for Olivia! She… She’ll ruin you!”

As the group headed back to the hospital, Quincy and the others found out that Thomas seemed to be fairly well acquainted with the Elliotts.

The Elliotts also found out about Thomas’ relationship with the others, as well as his job as Olivia’s driver.

Thus, the men came to a unanimous decision. They were going to let the younger ones leave and then talk some sense into Thomas.

Since Olivia didn’t know about that other role of hers, they decided to continue keeping it a secret from her.

Samuel looked a little agitated too. “Thomas, I understand what you think. A young man as capable as you should have the chance to pursue the woman he likes, especially one like Olivia who’s known as the Most Beautiful Female Entrepreneur in Irieson. Truth be told, I think the two of you make a good couple too, but you have to stay away from her. I pity her, but it can’t be helped. No one can change her situation.”

The men would be happy to see the two of them end up together as they were well-matched in both their talents and good looks, but alas, Olivia was a sacrificial offering.

What a pity…

Thomas surveyed them with a helpless smile. What are you men trying to do?

He was free to date whoever he wanted and no one could make him change his mind about anything.

That being said, he wasn’t in love with Olivia. He simply didn’t want to see his friends getting injured anymore, not after what he went through with Zachary.

Olivia was as beautiful as an ethereal angel, but Thomas’ desire for love had died out following Zachary’s death and Felice’s betrayal. All he wanted to do now was take good care of his friends and make sure Chloe and Adam lived a good life. That was his only purpose in life.

“I think you’re all mistaken. Olivia and I aren’t romantically involved with each other and I’m not interested in dating anyone either. All along, I only considered her my friend and I didn’t want to see my friends getting hurt, so that’s why I did my best to protect her.”

Thomas’ expression grew serious. “Since we’re talking about it now, I’ll take the opportunity to ask a favor of you. If there comes a time when I’m not by Olivia’s side and someone tries to harm her, please help her. Naturally, I won’t ask you to lend a hand in vain. If you’re ever in any trouble or difficulty, feel free to come and ask for my help. As long as it is within my power, I won’t hesitate at all! I’m a man of my word. You can come to me at any time for anything!”

Everyone’s expressions shifted.

Quincy had the best idea of Thomas’ medical abilities and was stunned by Thomas’ words. He’s making a promise! Is it really worth it just for Olivia’s sake?

John and Samuel were taken aback as well. While they didn’t have a clear understanding of Thomas’ medical expertise, they were fully aware of his fighting prowess. All the prominent families would be eager to build a relationship with an expert like him.

Olivia only had a few months left. They figured that even if they agreed to protect her, they wouldn’t be able to do so for long.

Nevertheless, since Thomas made the request, they weren’t going to protest. They didn’t mind turning down other people’s requests, but they would never turn down one from him!

“Don’t worry, Thomas. I will help Olivia with whatever I can, as long as it is before that!” Quincy was the first to answer.

“That’s right! Before that takes place, anyone who lays a finger on Olivia will be considered the Mortons’ enemy!”
