Female Novel
chapter 75 Beautiful and delicious
Olivia was occupied through the day and night, barely sleeping a wink.
As she drove back to Xavier's villa, she felt like she was going to pass out.
Finally, the woman arrived at the villa. She parked her car and went upstairs, and the deliciousscent of food wafted into her nostrils.
She immediately walked over to the kitchen, spotting an apron-wearing Xavier, busy working hismagic there. He turned to look at her.
Olivia smiled satisfyingly. "You're a feast for the eyes!"novelbin
Her gaze didn't linger on the dishes beside Xavier. Instead, she stared at the man with amischievous smile.
Realizing that Olivia had flirted with him, Xavier grinned at her. "Did you just come out of the slumsthat you feel like consuming everything you lay your eyes on?"
Olivia glanced at her dirty face and messy clothes, coughing embarrassedly. "Consuming you won'tsatiate my hunger. I only have eyes for the dishes you cooked."
She immediately realized that she had confessed to the thought in her mind without being pressed.
Xavier didn't make the meaning of his words explicitly clear, and Olivia had gone ahead, sayingwhatever was on her mind.
She mused, "Oh my! A person's reaction will become slow when they are exhausted. I must take abath and have a good sleep."
Olivia hurriedly turned to escape from the kitchen, but Xavier wrapped his arms around her frombehind.
Olivia was startled and instinctively wanted to struggle.
After all, she was in such a mess that she disliked herself, and she didn't want to get intimate withXavier at the moment.
But Xavier held onto her tightly, and she was so exhausted that she couldn't free herself.
"Are you sure you won't be full after consuming me?" Xavier leaned close to her ear, whispering.His hoarse voice and the cheeky grin on his face make her heart beat uneasily.
"Did I say the wrong thing?" Olivia thought.
She swallowed her saliva and chose to play dumb. "Mr. Xavier, can I take a shower first?"
Xavier peered at her dirty clothes and smiled. "Okay. You can satiate your hunger after you clean upyourself."
After saying that, he gently let go of her and laughed. "You have to try to know the true feeling ofbeing full."
Olivia didn't know what to say.
What else could she do?
So, in the end, she chose to flee.
After finally returning to the room and taking a comfortable shower, Olivia went downstairs to eat inher pajamas.
Looking at her favorite dish on the table, Olivia picked up her cutlery and started digging in.
Xavier sat aside with a coquettish smile, watching Olivia eating so happily. Occasionally, he wouldput food on her plate, and sometimes, he would feed the food into her mouth directly.
Olivia opened her mouth naturally, biting the food Xavier gave before she realized something wasamiss. She glared at Xavier.
Xavier raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Eat more."
Thump!
Olivia's heart beat restlessly again. She hurriedly turned her face away and buried herself in herfood.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, Olivia was done eating. That was when Xavier told her hehad arranged a meeting with the Si Family at ten o'clock that night and asked whether she had anyobjection.
Olivia frowned immediately. "There's no rush. Let's meet at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. I need tosleep now."
Xavier caressed her head lovingly. "Okay. Go rest now."
So, Olivia slept until nine o'clock in the morning the next day, and it was Xavier who rose her fromher sleep.
After some dilly-dallying, they arrived at the Si residence at precisely ten o'clock in the morning.
None of the Si family members slept well last night. It was evident that Dennis' condition hadcontinued to worsen, and they were afraid that he wouldn't pull it through the night.
And if that happened, the Si Family would be doomed.
Different from the situation last time, as soon as Olivia arrived at the Si Residence this time around,all the Si Family members came to greet her at the door. They talked to her nicely as if they fearedshe would leave in frustration again.
As for Olivia, she didn't act like a big-headed person. She still acted and spoke politely like she didlast time.
After all, she was being paid for her service, and having the basic courtesy to be polite to her clientwas necessary.
However, when the group arrived at Dennis' room, Olivia's expression turned gloomy.
She strode to the older man's bed and reached for his pulse.
A few minutes later, she turned around with a dark face and asked Yaron, "What have you guysdone to him in the past few days?"
Yaron was shocked by the expression on Olivia's face, and he didn't know how to respondmomentarily.
Zachary hurriedly stepped forward and said nervously, "Dr. Xue, w-what's wrong? What's wrongwith my dad?"
Olivia didn't answer Zachary's question. She quickly scanned her surroundings, noticing a candle atthe corner of the room.
She strode forward, picked it up, and sniffed it. Then, Olivia questioned grimly, "Who lit this?"
Timothy stood up uneasily. "Dr. Xue, is… is there something wrong with the candle?"
"You almost killed the old man! Do you know that?" Olivia's sharp eyes landed on Timothy. He wasso terrified that he trembled, nearly losing his balance.
"H-How is that possible? Zayden sent this candle to us. He said this was made by the elderly of thePharmacists Association personally, and can be used to keep a person calm and relaxed," Timothyexplained apprehensively, "Yaron said old Mr. Si's condition is grim lately, so I thought of using thisto keep him comfortable."
"You were deceived," Olivia answered simply, "This candle does not have the benefit of calming orrelaxing old Mr. Si. Instead, it is a candle that will revive the poisonous insect in him."
"His body is weak. Reviving the poisonous insect in him before the preparation is done can kill him."
Everyone broke out in cold sweat when they heard Olivia's words.
"This…" Timothy looked at Olivia, at a loss. "What should we do now? How is old Mr. Si?"
"It's all my fault. I was too gullible. If something happens to old Mr. Si, I-I will never be able to forgivemyself," Timothy said, kneeling in front of the bed with a regretful expression.
Olivia's penetrative gaze swept over Timothy, but she didn't speak as she waited for the Si Family todecide what to do next.
Zachary looked upset, but he asked Olivia politely, "Dr. Xue, how is my dad's current condition? Canhe still be saved?"
Olivia smiled. "Of course. However, the difficulty of doing that has more than doubled from before."
"Do whatever you need to do to save him! If one billion dollars is not enough, I can give you anotherone hundred million dollars," Zachary stated anxiously.
Olivia mused, "One billion dollars?"
She glanced at Xavier and couldn't help laughing after seeing the smugness on the man's face.
"Haha! He didn't hesitate when it came to taking advantage of his family's money. But well, sincethe Si Family has proven their sincerity to me, I will try my best to save old Mr. Si!"
Olivia pretended to ponder momentarily. "I'll try my best. You guys can leave. Nobody can staybehind other than Xavier."
Yaron stood in place stubbornly. "Dr. Xue, please allow me to stay!"
Zachary wiped his sweat, voicing urgently, "Dr. Xue, Yaron has great medical skills. Maybe he canhelp you if he stays put."
"All right. He can stay." Olivia spoke nonchalantly. Then, she called out to Zachary.
"Mr. Zachary, please hand me a bowl of your blood before you head out," Olivia told him, "The bloodof old Mr. Si's closest relative is the key to saving him!"
"A bowl of blood?!" Zachary exclaimed inwardly.
His face paled. "Xavier is also a member of the Si Family. He's young and strong, and should be abetter donor than me."
Olivia shook her head. "Are you sure Xavier is old Mr. Si's biological child?"
Zachary didn't know what to reply to that.
