I’m Someone Else

Chapter 194

Olivia only opened her eyes at 8.00PM.

After expressing her gratitude to the kind-hearted older woman who helped her, she returned to the couch in her office to rest. Little did she know that as soon as she lay down, a piercing pain would surge through her body as an intense wave of dizziness hit her. In just a matter of minutes, she fell unconscious. She found herself in the bedroom of the Northpine Villa when she opened her eyes again.

Thomas, who had been anxiously waiting for Olivia to wake up, finally felt relieved when he saw her open her eyes. He feared he would never see Olivia wake up again if he hadn’t possessed the Blood of the Blazing Sun, which was an invaluable treasure.

“Lie down, and don’t move,” Thomas instructed.

He took out the prescribed ointment and lifted the blanket to apply it to Olivia’s body.

“My… my body hurts so much…”

Although she had regained consciousness, she could still feel the pain coursing through her body, especially in the areas touched by Thomas. It was an uncomfortable sensation akin to being pricked by needles.

Instinctively, she lowered her head and saw that her clothes had already been removed by Thomas for the convenience of applying the ointment. She immediately noticed the cracks covering her body.

“Ahh!” She couldn’t help but cover her mouth in shock as she let out a piercing scream.

This did not look like a person’s body. It would be easier to believe that she was a mummy that had been exposed to all kinds of dreary weather for hundreds of years.

“What happened to me?!”

Thomas forced a bitter smile. He had warned her not to move, fearing that she would see her current appearance. Yet, she had still looked down.

“Don’t worry, once the ointment is applied, you’ll feel better by tomorrow morning.”

Thomas was confident in his medical skills. It was not like it was a serious condition. “It’s just a complication from the toxin’s rebound,” he quickly reassured her.

“Really?” At this moment, Olivia felt despair creeping in. Just as Thomas had suspected earlier, she would rather not live if she couldn’t recover.

“Of course. When have I ever lied to you?”

Olivia glanced at Thomas with sincere eyes. If he said she would get better, then she would definitely get better. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“Oh!”

It was only now that Olivia realized she was completely naked. Thomas was applying ointment to her, which meant that… he had seen everything.

Although she liked Thomas, it was still incredibly embarrassing!

Feeling embarrassed, Olivia turned as red as an apple.

Thomas finally noticed then that he might have overstepped the line. While he didn’t have any ulterior motives and was only trying to prevent Olivia from seeing her body, she was, after all, a woman.

“Here, you can apply it yourself. Try to spread it evenly,” Thomas said while handing the ointment to Olivia. He had already applied it to her upper body, but it would be inappropriate for a grown man like

him to help with the lower part. They were just ordinary friends, not a couple living together…

“Okay!” Olivia nodded, accepting the ointment from Thomas. She then cast a seductive glance at him.

Thomas walked out of the room. He desperately needed rest. He had lost so much blood and had been enduring to wait for Olivia to wake up. At this point, even his temples were throbbing painfully.

As soon as he lay down on his bed, he fell into a deep sleep. He was utterly exhausted.

He slept soundly until noon the next day. Even so, his head was heavy and foggy. It seemed that he was truly weakened now.

On the contrary, Olivia had woken up way earlier than him. As soon as she opened her eyes, she checked her body and cheered. She turned out perfectly fine like Thomas said she would! Thomas would probably give me the cold shoulder if things hadn’t gone well, right?

She intended to wake Thomas up after preparing breakfast carefully. But when she entered his bedroom, she found him sound asleep, completely unaware of her presence. Though she didn’t know what had exactly happened, she didn’t want to disturb him when she could clearly see from Thomas’ face that he was exhausted. After she had her breakfast, she watched TV for a while before she started preparing lunch.

Thomas woke up by the time she was done preparing a hearty lunch.

After he finished washing up, he began to ponder as he watched Olivia’s lips move. Should he tell her about what he had done to her father and grandfather? Since Quincy hadn’t replied yet, Thomas couldn’t press for an answer. After all, Quincy was helping him, and if he pushed too hard, he might cause Quincy’s displeasure. Besides, considering his current state, he wasn’t in a hurry to continue hunting down the important members of the Pearson Family.

With that, he decided to set all that aside for now.

“You’re up. Come and have your meal. I’ve just prepared it. It’s still hot.”

Olivia waved at Thomas, her eyes filled with gentle affection like that of young girls who had fallen in love.

She had made a decision the previous night: no matter what, she wanted to stay by Thomas’ side for the rest of her life. Since he had seen her body, she belonged to him. He must take responsibility for her!

Deep down, Olivia was a traditional and conservative woman.

Just the thought of Thomas applying medicine for her last night filled her heart with immense sweetness. If he had seen her body, he had to take responsibility for her! She had been worried about not having a legitimate excuse to get close to him, but unexpectedly, he had walked right into her trap! All pretenses and shyness should go to hell. The most important thing for her was to strive for happiness.

Thomas took a sip of soup and spoke calmly, “I want to tell you something.”

To be honest, Thomas felt apprehensive. He had been consumed by anger at that time and didn’t even hesitate to kill the people from the Pearson Family. If he hadn’t killed them, they would have continued to target Olivia.

But how would Olivia react when she hears about the truth? Bah, she can think whatever she wants. After all, what’s done is done. There is no point in regretting it. She will find out about what happened even if I don’t tell her now. I might as well confess.

“Go ahead,” Olivia urged. She thought he was going to talk about something important when she noticed the solemn look on his face.

“I killed the elderly man who was guarding you. And also… I killed both Terrence and Norman Pearson too. You… you’re not angry with me, are you? I warned them not to try anything with you, but they didn’t listen. I had no choice but to do this, or else they might have come up with some other plans to harm you again.”

“Pfft!” Seeing how nervous Thomas was, Olivia couldn’t help but laugh. “You look so silly! You don’t have to explain it to me; I’m not angry. I am no longer a part of the Pearson Family from the moment I left the Pearson Family with you. I belong to you now.”
