Brayden went out with his phone and called Olivia.
He wanted to tell her that her grandfather liked her present.
Everett glimpsed Brayden’s back as he left and then went upstairs.They would stay in the old house
tonight.
Everyone had a room here.
Brayden stood by a holly tree in the yard, one hand in his pocket, patiently waiting for Olivia to pick
up.
Finally, the call went through when the beep was about to end.He smiled slightly.
“Olivia.”
“Senior…”
A hoarse and weak voice came, and the smile on Brayden’s face disappeared instantly.
His brows furrowed.
“Olivia, what happened to your voice?”
“I’m okay.Just a slight cold.”
“A cold? Have you taken any medicine?”
“Yes, don’t worry.I’ll be fine after having a sleep.”
How could he not worry? Her voice sounded bad.

He was worried sick thinking she was alone at home without anyone to take care of her.
“No, just a sore throat.Nothing serious.”
Olivia perceived the concern in Brayden’s voice and comforted him.
“Have a good rest.Go to the hospital if you really feel bad.’ If he had been in H City, he would have
went to her now.
“I know, senior.I feel sleepy after taking the medicine.I’ll sleep now.’
“Okay.”
Olivia quickly hung up the phone, but Brayden’s brows were still furrowing.
Tomorrow was his grandfather’s birthday, so he couldn’t leave, but thinking of Olivia staying at home
alone disconcerted him.
Soon, Brayden dialed a number.
“Find me a health worker now.It’s pressing.”
“Yes”
“Call me as soon as you find one””
“No problem.”
The call finished quickly.
Brayden was still worried, but there was nothing else he could do.
He wasn’t too far from her.
He waited outside.
Not long after, a call came saying that the health worker had been found.
He immediately gave the address to the health worker and told her to leave for Olivia’s house now
to take care of her.
However, twenty minutes later, the health worker called him and said there was no one at home.
Brayden’s face changed.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, I knocked on the door for a long time but on one answered.’
“Stay there.I’ll call her right now.’ He hung up and called Olivia.
He was afraid that Olivia would not answer, which could make things difficult.
Fortunately, Olivia answered the phone, and her voice was heavier than before.
“Senior…”
Brayden was relieved to hear her voice, but soon became even more worried.
“Olivia, go open the door now.I got a health worker to look after you.”
Olivia was taken aback.
“Health worker?”
“Yes, she’s right outside your house.Open the door.’ Olivia was still in a daze, but she was very
amenable and got out of bed to open the door, but there was no one outside.
“Senior, there’s no one outside.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“No one?” Brayden frowned.
Did the health worker go to the wrong place? “Wait, I’ll call her.”
Just as he was about to hang up, Olivia suddenly raised her voice as if something just struck her,
“Senior, I’m not at home right now.’
“What?”
“I went on a business trip this afternoon.I’m in Capital City now.’ Brayden’s eyes widened in
disbelief.
“You’re in Capital City now?”
“Yes, I follow my boss here to meet a client.”
“That’s great.Tell me the name of your hotel.I’ll come over now.’ He didn’t expect her to be in Capital
City.
He was very happy.
“Tishi Hotel.”
“Okay, I’ll arrive soon.’ “Wait…”
After hanging up, Brayden went to the living room, and said to Belle, “tell grandpa that I’m going
out.”
Belle looked at him in surprise.
“Now?”
“Yes, I have something to do.See you later.”
Before Belle could respond, he left.Belle looked at the person who ran out quickly and shouted,
“Brayden…”
But the man had got in the car and left.
She murmured, “what’s the rush?”
