Chapter 495
Diana was stunned by Oliver's words.
"What can you do?’
Julian's defense of Kayla had reached a point of madness, and Diana didn't have much hope of touching that
woman.
"Just leave it to me," Oliver assured. "Kayla has done so much evil. She must pay the price.’
Diana felt gratitude rush through her. It was the first time someone had explicitly told her that Kayla needed to pay
the price.
However, gratitude wasn’t the same as love.
"If you need anything from me in the future, I'll do everything I can to help you."
"I haven't even fulfilled this promise yet, and you're already thinking of how to repay me," Oliver said, and suddenly
locked eyes with her. ’If it were Julian, would you react the same way?"
If it were Julian...
Would she?
It seemed highly unlikely. She would be grateful and keep it in her heart, but she wouldn't think about how to repay
him or give Julian anything.
As Diana pondered on the topic, she gradually got lost in thought.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOliver gave Diana a pained look, and knew that she still hadn't let go of her feelings for Julian. He considered telling
her about how the boy she had saved when she was a child was actually Julian, but decided that it wasn't the right
time.
Currently, the information would only cause her even more pain and confusion.
As such, Oliver thought it would be better to sit on it a little longer.
"I was able to come because I swapped shifts with a colleague at the hospital," Oliver explained. "I have to go back
now."
Looking at Diana, who was emotionally unstable, he asked, ’Do you want to come with me?’
A change of environment might help better her mood.
When Oliver arrived at the hospital, he was paged for emergency surgery immediately.
"The patient was in a serious car accident," the nurse who rushed over to Oliver hurriedly explained the situation.
"There are various fractures in the limbs. It seems the patient was run over, and there's also serious damage to the
head. Immediate surgery is required."
Oliver acted quickly, and was dressed for surgery in a few minutes.
"Alright, I can do it."
He then smiled apologetically at Diana. "Wait for me outside the operating theater, alright?"
Diana nodded, gesturing for him to go ahead.
However, as soon as Oliver disappeared into the theater, a man came storming towards it.
He was dressed in a black suit, and walked with light steps and an air of arrogance. There was a sense of
dominance as he moved, and he held a folding hand. His gaze occasionally drifted around, as if he was looking for a
specific person.
Behind him was another man, who was crying and shouting.
"Simon! Explain yourself! Why did you run over my family like that?"
It seemed the man in the black suit was the culprit of this accident involving the patient Oliver was currently
operating on.
Diana couldn't help but move her chair away a little.
However, it seemed the man was looking for her because as soon as she moved, his eyebrows climbed up a few
notches and his eyes shifted slightly.
He snapped open his fan; immediately, someone rushed forward to stop the victim's family member from following
him, pushing said person further away.
Diana could still recall the nurse recounting the patient's injuries to Oliver before he had gone in for the surgery.
The patient had been run over...
She couldn't help but glance at the weeping family member of the victim, then back at Simon. Without her realizing
it, a look of contempt appeared in her eyes as she glanced at Simon.
A normal person wouldn't appear this calm after causing such terrible harm to others...
And yet, this man was smiling at Diana at this very moment.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe hair on the back of her neck stood as she felt a cold chill run up her spine.
"Why are you looking at me?" she asked.
"How do you know I'm looking at you if you're not also looking at me?’
There was a smile on Simon's face when he replied. However, it wasn't cold and stunning like Julian's, nor was it
gentle and kind like Oliver's.
Rather, there was a sinister feeling behind it.
Diana was speechless at his words, but she couldn't find anything to refute and simply averted her eyes.
However, the chair beside her sunk down suddenly as Simon sat down in it.
Feeling extremely uneasy, Diana turned her gaze to the operating theater. She considered heading for Oliver's
office to wait for him there instead. When she stood up to do so, however, the victim's family member managed to
break through the person holding him back and rushed at Simon.
"Mr. Channing! I demand an explanation!"
"I demand one too," Simon said, ignoring the man and instead followed Diana. He tapped her back with his fan and
said lazily, "Because of you, this vermin managed to harass me. How are you going to compensate me for that?"
There was a wicked glint in his eyes, and before Diana knew it, he had her confined within his arms.
It was an unbearable feeling.
"Let me go!" she screamed.
