Getting Him Hooked: Mr. Freeman’s Indifferent Sinner Wife Chapter 165
At that time, Olivia was so frightened she clung to Uncle Wallace and bawled her
eyes out.
Instead of stopping the blood flow, Uncle Wallace ignore the gaping wound on his calf and comforted her gently instead.
And, it was also because of that that Uncle Wallace had missed out on the perfect window of time for a full recovery, causing him to still have a little limp on his right foot after all these years.
However, to prevent Olivia from feeling guilty, Uncle Wallace would cover his scar by wearing long pants all the time.
Also, every time he was with her, he would be like any other perfectly normal person and would walk with no limp.
Uncle Wallace did not say anything about it, but it did not mean that Olivia had forgotten.
Olivia was crying so hard she was hyperventilating. She hung onto Zac’s arm and forced herself to stand. She wobbled her way over to the other side of the body.

She gritted her teeth hard when she opened the white cloth. When she laid Uncle Wallace’s face, she closed her eyes painfully as tears continued to flow down
her cheeks.
Olivia was crying so hard for a while all she saw was darkness as she fell backward, straight into Zac’s arms.
“Liv, shall we…”
“No… I want to keep Uncle Wallace company for a while longer.”
Olivia forced herself to stand on her feet and knelt beside the fridge drawer. “Uncle Wallace, I’m so sorry… I’m so sorry… I’m so sorry…”
It was like there was a huge rock on her chest, causing her to have difficulty breathing.
Olivia clenched her fist tight and slammed it again and again onto her own chest. Every time she wept, her brain would lack oxygen, causing her to black out.
“Uncle Wallace… Uncle Wallace…”
Uncle Wallace doted on her since she was a child.
Even if Uncle Wallace was merely a butler and a servant of the Larson household in the eyes of others, he was like a grandfather to Olivia in her heart, and he was the grandfather figure that Olivia had in her life.
But now, Uncle Wallace was dead. It was another one of her family leaving her
behind.
Olivia was not afraid at all as she reached out to grab Uncle Wallace’s bloated hand. I’ll avenge you, Uncle Wallace!
“I’ll… I’ll find out who did this to you for sure!”
Olivia continued crying for a long time after that and finally, she passed out. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Zac caught her in his arms and carried her out to the car so she could rest.
Even if she had fainted, Olivia’s tears did not stop flowing.
It broke Zac to see Olivia like this and he thought, “How much pain did she have to experience?”
Every time things happened, she would bawl her eyes out, but had fierce
determination blazing in her eyes. It had people itching to help her but was afraid that she would reject the help extended.
Zac looked at how wan and sallow Olivia’s face was and his hands worked in their own accord as they wiped the tears gently off the corner of her eyes. He murmured gently, “Just tell me if you’re tired, Liv, let me be here for you, let me help you.
“I know you still love Johnny, but Liv, stop tanking all of these alone. Let me share your burden.”
After he was done speaking, Zac retracted his hands and frowned with a sigh. Then, he dialed a number.
“Get someone to ship the body back to Ocean City secretly and get an investigation on this immediately.”
“Yes, Sir.”
“Did you manage to find the evidence I’ve asked you to find before this?”
“I found some, but it’s not enough to sue.”
“Continue finding.”
Suddenly, the person on the other end of the phone call called out to Zac. “Sir, there’s new development regarding the Ben Wilson that we talked about the last time.”
“What is it?”
“He appeared in Cesena City, but just for a while. It’s not confirmed yet.”
“Hurry up and track him, then! We have to find him. Put out a ‘Wanted’ post for him with rewards.”
“Yes, Sir.”
A short while after Zac hung up the phone, Olivia opened her eyes in a daze and shot up from her seat, bumping her head accidentally in the process.
“Ahh!”
That had scared Zac witless. He scrambled frantically as he looked at her. “You… Are you okay?”
Olivia had just realized that she was in the car. She took a while to snap back to her senses and waved her hands in awkwardness and embarrassment. “I’m okay. I’m just
Not fully awake yet.”
