Chapter 1288
Alan gave Marvin a kick in the shin.
"Stop disturbing her and leave."
The pain woke Marvin from his trance.
"Sorry! I shall get out of your hair right away! Oh, Alan, why hasn't Dr.Ophelia clocked in for work yet?"
No one in Royal Hospital knew what transpired last night.
It pricked Olivia's guilty conscience because they truly saw her as a friend.
“Cut it out! Leave!"
Alan urged.
Once Marvin was far away from them, Alan turned to face Olivia.
"Sorry about that."
"It's fine.It's normal to take a person as someone else," she acknowledged and followed him.
His brows furrowed.
Despite the series of tests, Olivia didn't give the gaway.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNot even a hint! A pungent perfpermeated the air, reminding him of the distinctive herbal scent
coming from Ophelia.
Unfortunately, Olivia now gave off a floral scent.
Perfgained wide currency from women.
Thus, he couldn't jump to conclusions simply because of a scent.
The hospital director, Grant Tanner, welcomed Olivia in person upon learning of her visit and decided to
give her a tour around the place.
While she enjoyed the pear-syrup candies, Alan pulled Grant to a corner.
"Uncle Grant, did you smell that? What's that scent from her?"
“A mixture of a few flowers and sandalwood.It's strong and gives off a dominating vibe.I don't know
much about perfume, though."
“Do you smell anything herbal?"
“Nope."
Grant wiggled his head.
"By the way, where did Dr.Ophelia go? Look at the time.She hasn't cto work yet."
Alan didn't know where to start off with the scammer incident.
He wore a deadpan face.
"Stop asking about her.She's a scammer.She won't return anymore."
“Scammer? What did she scam?"
Grant couldn't follow.
"I didn't notice any ingredients gone missing.I'll have Marvin check the inventory.See if the thousand-
year-old ginseng was stolen or not."
Words failed Alan.
He watched Olivia through the glass door.
The latter took sips of a bowl of soup; her movements filled with elegance like that of a rich woman.
Ophelia often ate her meal with Marvin, sitting on the flight of stairs.
No one could lump her together with the formidable Mrs.Miller.
Although Alan wished for Olivia to be Ophelia, the result of his testing told him otherwise.
The meeting ended in the afternoon.
Alan brought Olivia to a hearing regarding Carathia’s history.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEthan walked out and happened to see her bending over to pluck sflowers.
He scooped her by the waist, pulling her into his embrace and plucking a purple flower to tuck it behind
her ear.
Her arms naturally interlaced with his.
"Is the meeting over?"
“Yup.Did I keep you waiting?"
"No.I just cback."
Ethan loved it whenever she acted soft.
His finger traced along the bridge of her nose.
"Let's go have lunch."
Treating everyone else invisible, they left with his arm around her waist.
The others almost had their jaws drop onto the ground.
"Is that General Sova?"
"When he cto visit two years ago, I specially gathered a few pretty ladies for him.
“But all of them were driven out of the room.Rumors had it that he likes men.I thought he was gay!"
Another guest, who shared a similar experience, chimed in, "Don't getstarted.I found him a few
men, from macho ones to gentle-looking ones.
“Every single one of them was scared away with swollen faces.It was brutal."
"I didn't expect the famous General Sova to be henpecked by his wife."
