Chapter 739 - 758: Haven’t Cried Enough (3)
Mia Ginger: "..."
Why is Victor Williams everywhere?
She kind of understands that person now, naturally knowing that Olivia’s words of not letting her go must not just be about stopping her.
He’s bound to get a bit handsy, and being drunk, who knows, it might be just like last time.
If Denver Petal saw that, wouldn’t there be a fight?
Mia was speechless, and softly comforted her: "It’s already like this, don’t be sad. It’s just a few stitches, it’ll heal quickly. Lawyer Petal is a good person; he won’t get mad at you over this."
"I know, I’m just feeling really guilty inside." Olivia managed a bitter smile.
She had only agreed to Denver Petal’s proposal because she wanted to escape the Williams Family—in a contract marriage.
Frankly speaking—
Denver treats her really well, and his parents are even nicer to her.
But now, she’s dragged Denver into trouble several times, all because of Victor.
Just from getting into fights, this was the third time.
His head’s been hurt, how could she not feel guilty?
Olivia furrowed her brows, looking quite troubled; in the end, she seemed to be lost in thought, repeatedly pressing her lips together.
Mia looked at her, also feeling helpless, and after a few comforting words had no effect, she decided to chat about random stories, then went on to tell some memorable jokes from her own time in the hospital.
Finally, Olivia seemed to relax a bit.
Soon after, Denver and Koa Jackson came out with their stitches done.
——
At 9:15 PM.
The four of them left the hospital together.
Denver hadn’t driven to the hospital, so Koa Jackson glanced at his watch and said, "I’ll take you guys back."
"No trouble, taking a cab back is just the same," Denver smiled.
"It’s on the way," Koa said casually. "Didn’t your mom call earlier? She said you should both go home together. It’s right on our way, won’t take much effort."
Denver thought for a moment and chuckled, "That’s true."
"Get in the car," Koa directly ordered.
Denver glanced at Olivia, and said, "Let’s go, the two of us in the back."
"Going back to your parents’?" Olivia seemed a bit hesitant.
"She already knows about my injury and insists that I stay over, so let’s go. It’s fine, I’ll just say I got caught up in an accident between two fighting colleagues. Don’t worry."
Olivia pressed her lips together, glanced at him, and nodded.
She was somewhat worried, after all, Denver’s parents are very fond of him.
If they found out the truth about this matter, they’d definitely get angry, and then they’d also know the truth about their marriage.
But—
Olivia thought about her previous decision and hesitated for a moment.
She said nothing more and quietly got into the car.
Mia also got into the front passenger seat, and Koa drove, first taking Denver and Olivia home.
Denver’s parents are both retired at home now, with two sons in the family. Denver is the second son, and both he and his brother are considered successful in their careers. Naturally, the family is doing quite well.
Around ten o’clock, Koa drove the car into Dawn Garden, where Denver’s parents live.
It was the first time for both him and Mia to come over, and they couldn’t refuse Denver’s invitation to come in for a bit once they were at the doorstep.
In fact—
Denver had already called halfway there, mentioning the guests.
Koa parked the car and led Mia along.
Mia felt a little uneasy and quietly asked Koa, "It’s our first time here and we didn’t bring any gifts. Is that okay?"
