Chapter 241
The most feared member of the Pearson Family, Terrence, was already dead, so he had nothing toworry about. After killing Thomas, he would eliminate the legitimate line of the Pearson Family and thenabsorb their business, fulfilling his father’s dying wish.
Jake felt extremely pleased in his heart, feeling like a genius. He was not worried that Thomas woulddare to cause trouble. After all, he still had Chloe’s mother’s ashes in his hands. If Thomas dared to actout, he would scatter the ashes and disgrace her mother.
He naively believed that after Thomas knew about this, he would be angry and could not do anything tohim at most.
Glancing at the time, he realized it was time for him to go home. He stood up, straightened his suitjacket, collected the ashes, and walked out of the office building.
On the other side, in the corridor outside Declan’s hospital room, Olivia and Thomas sat side by side ona bench. Quincy had already finished examining Declan, and tomorrow, he would be discharged fromthe hospital. Olivia no longer needed to stay at the hospital and could return to work at KeyshireProperty.
“Sigh! Just thinking about it gives me a headache. I bet when I get back to the office tomorrow, the fileson my desk will be piled up like mountains,” she murmured unhappily, rubbing her temples.
At this, Thomas smiled and said, “Don’t worry, take your time to handle them. There will be a day whenyou finish everything.”
“Yeah.” Olivia turned her head and glanced at him. She remembered what her younger sister hadadvised her during the day, so realized that she needed to take some initiative. Otherwise, who knowsif this man will be snatched away by another girl?
Thinking of this, she gathered her courage and slowly leaned toward Thomas, inch by inch, at anextremely slow pace. Finally, her body leaned against his body, and her head rested on his shoulder.
Olivia felt her heart racing, nervousness consuming her. If Thomas pushed her away, it would be soembarrassing. To her delight, the man did not push her away. He sat there obediently, not daring tomove.
He didn’t push me away. Does that mean he likes me too? Has he accepted me? A sweet smilebloomed on her breathtakingly beautiful face. It seems like I still have a chance! Should I take theopportunity to confess?
After careful consideration, she decided not to confess. She felt like there was still something missingbetween her and Thomas, so it was not the right time to express her feelings yet. She needed tochoose the most appropriate moment to clarify her emotions to him to ensure nothing would go wrong.
Thomas was the man she loved the most in her life. Confessing her feelings was a matter that requiredcareful consideration. She needed to act in the coming days, build a good relationship with Chloe inadvance, and increase her chances of success when confessing.

However, would Chloe speak up for Olivia?
What she did not know was Thomas’ heart was also in turmoil. Why is she leaning on me like this?This… isn’t inappropriate! We’re in a hospital with many people around. If they see this, they’ll surelythink we’re a couple. He turned into a wooden statue, his muscles tensed up, and only his racingheartbeat proved that he was a living person capable of movement.
“Thomas, do you want to meet my cousin?” Olivia asked, breaking the silence. Her cousin had cometoday, but she had left the hospital just before he arrived.
He thought for a moment. “If I have the chance to meet her, I will apologize to her in person.”
Olivia’s cousin was the admissions office director at Irieson’s University of Technology, who hadadmitted her ahead of time. However, she had chosen to join the military instead of attending Irieson’sUniversity of Technology, so she had been disciplined. It would not hurt to apologize to her.
Suddenly, Olivia regretted bringing up her cousin. What am I thinking? Why do I mention her and makeThomas feel guilty? She quickly spoke up, “Thomas, there’s no need to apologize. What happenedback then wasn’t because of you.”
He shook his head. “I was in the wrong.”
She sighed when she saw his firm attitude. She did not say anything more, snuggling quietly in thearms of the man she loved, savoring the warmth of the moment.
Not long after, she fell into a deep sleep. Hearing her steady breathing, Thomas could not help butglance back slightly. Her flawless skin and delicate features dazzled and mesmerized him. He could notdeny that he was drawn to Olivia, just like he had been attracted to Felice in the past. Yet, this genuineaffection felt even more intense than before.
It was only natural, though. Olivia was beautiful and kind-hearted; beneath her seemingly cold exterior,she hid a passionate heart. Any normal man would fall for her.
His attention was completely focused on her, not noticing that the door of Declan’s hospital room hadopened slightly. Ophelie was secretly observing the two of them. Oh, sister, why do you have to sleepat this time? This is such a great opportunity. Why don’t you take this chance to confess to Thomas?
And you, Thomas! She’s leaning on your shoulder, but why are you as still as a log? Are you a pig?You’re so clueless. Just kiss her!
Ophelie stomped her foot in frustration, wishing she could rush out and give them some guidance onwhat they should do in this situation.
Thomas and Olivia maintained their position like that until the break of dawn. It was a tough night forhim as he was unable to move a muscle, afraid of waking her…
