Love Beyond Betrayal

Chapter 7

As Ethan regained consciousness, Olivia’s heart ached. “ How did I get here?” He blinked slowly and gazed at the people standing closer to his bed. Olivia was scared to death. “Look, it was my first day. I didn’t know you were not supposed to drink milk,” Olivia lifted her hands defensively, her voice shaking. Ethan suddenly remembered that it was her first day, and she hadn’t informed her about the things he was not supposed to eat. “When will I be discharged?” He tried to sit up, but failed because he was still weak. “The doctor said you will be discharged tomorrow," Roen responded as he helped Ethan to sit up.

“Young Master, you are still weak. You need to get some sleep,” Veronica uttered, stepping closer to him. “Olivia, I need to talk to you alone,” Mr Haven called her in a low voice. Both Roan and Veronica excused themselves. “Olivia, I am mad at you, but I forgive you, because you didn’t know. I am more worried about you. I know you’re hiding something for me,” Mr Haven uttered as he exhaled slowly, looking at her with conflicted eyes. Olivia raised her head and glared at his handsome face. She stared at his pink lips and long eyelashes. “What do you mean?” Olivia inquired. “I know you are going through a divorce.” Olivia could feel her legs weaken, and her body became stiff. She suddenly remembers she needs to submit the divorce papers back to Grayson. “How did you know?” She inquired, as she studied his face for a moment.

“I saw the message on your phone. I am sorry I interfered in your personal matters. I was worried about you, but I want you to know that I am here for you.” Mr Haven lowers his head, then looks up at Olivia again. Olivia faced the other way. She started to sob. “Are you crying?” He noticed the shift immediately. She didn’t respond. “I am sorry if I hurt you. I didn’t mean to,” he said, his heart aching. “From now on, I don’t want any man in my life. Grayson has hurt me so much.” Ethan’s fist tightened. Even though he wanted to use Olivia to avenge Grayson, he was slowly falling for Olivia. He was curious about why Grayson was divorcing him. She wiped the tears that were streaming. Ethan said he was pressed and needed Olivia to help him into the restroom. “I feel weak,” he said, straightening a little. He needed to hold her hand or support himself. When he arrived at the restroom, he asked Olivia to help him with his pants zipper. “I can’t,” Olivia responded, shaking his head. Ethan was making it on purpose. She faced the other way. “I need your help.” He said this to get his attention. “Can you please pull my boxer down so that I can bring myself out to pee?” Olivia did, as he says, but shut her eyes to prevent seeing his manhood.
