Chapter 147 Olive collapsed in his arms.
Olive quickly raised her eyes. His handsome face was poring at her. Marvin was here!
Why was he here?
Marvin lowered his handsome eyelids to look at her. His cold eyes fell on the bottle which contained the
venom from the mandala flower.
“What is that?” He questioned.
Olive swiftly hid the bottle in her pocket.
“It’s nothing. It’s just something that Divine got for me.”
Although Marvin tried his best to be calm and compose, but he couldn’t help but frown.
“What do you wanna use the poison for?”
Olive quickly thought of Marvin being the youngest academician. She was certain that he had already
seen her, hence there wasn’t any need for her to hide it from him.
Olive’s right hand went to her head, as she scratched her now itchy scalp.
“Marvin, this is my private issue. You really don’t need to know about it. I’m your sister-in-law, right? So
I’m requesting only one thing from you. Just don’t tell your brother about this, okay?”
Looking at Olive’s uncomfortable face, Marvin was left speechless by her request.
Olive suddenly remembered that her wrist was still in her palm. She quickly move in a bid. to withdraw
her hand. But Marvin held tighter to her and didn’t let her go.
Olive hastily imagined Elvis’s reaction to the scene. She was certain that Elvis’s response would be
that of anger and rage.
Although she didn’t know the reason, but she aware of the fact that Elvis didn’t want her having any
dealings with his aunt and brother. Olive was of the conviction that Elvis was hiding something from
her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGrandma also was right in a way. Maybe she didn’t give Elvis a sense of security. No matter what the
circumstances were, if she knew that Elvis didn’t like a thing or people, then she was meant to keep a
safe distance from that thing and those people.
However, Olive went numb.
What was Marvin doing?
“Do you need me to help you with something?” Olive looked at him suspiciously.
“It’s okay.” Marvin slowly released her slender wrist from his hands. He took off his jacket and said
casually,
“I heard that Pamela saved an old lady this morning. I also heard that she had used a gold needle to
seal the acupuncture point.”
Olive nodded.
“Well, I heard same.”
Marvin didn’t look back, he only muttered indifferently,
“I once saw a girl use a gold needle to seal the acupuncture points.”
Olive’s memory quickly recounted an event from two years back. She had rescued a critically ill patient
on the street. It wasn’t only her, there was another individual who helped her carry out the admirable
operation. The man had a pair of extremely beautiful hands, and had held a scalpel.
Olive’s eyes fell on Marvin’s hands. He clutched at his jacket, his fingers were w hite and slender, like a
work of art.
It was Marvin!
“It’s actually you!” Olive exclaimed shockingly.
Marvin looked back at her, he nodded and said softly..
“Yes, it’s me.”
Olive never thought that the man would turn out to be Marvin. Back then, she only cared about
rescuing the si c k patient, hence she didn’t focus her attention on Marvin. When she returned to LA,
she had completely forgotten about the man.
The world was indeed a small place. It turned out that they had already met two years ago.
Olive took in a deep breathe.
“Then i think that we’re intertwined by fate.”
The corner of Marvin’s lips drew in a faint curved line.
Olive swiftly added,
“I also went on to become your sister-in-law. It’s really fate that played out.”
Olive felt awkward after her statement. But all that mattered to her was keeping a safe distance from
the brother whom Elvis was jealous and inexplicably suspicious of.
The faint curve on Marvin’s lips hastily vanished. He held his jacket, then he turned around and left.
“Did he just leave?” Olive felt that the two brothers had such strange temperaments. But to her, it was
best that he left. Although Marvin had been of great help to her, she still had an awkward relationship
with him.
It was getting late and all the students had returned to their homes, and some, their dormitories.
Afraid that someone might surface, Olive immediately locked the door of the pharmacy. Once she was
done, she took out a test tube and pushed the eye of the needle into the blood vessel in her arm.
The mandala flower poison slowly seeped and advanced into her body.
Elvis’s illness could no longer be delayed. She knew that Elvis was very concerned about
Doted by My Billionaire Husband
his illness. He was afraid that he would get si c k, and he was even more afraid that he would hurt her
when he got si c k.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOlive put down the needle. She could only hear silence. She could feel the poison spread across her
body. Soon, she felt her blood vessels itch.
Olive’s forehead ached and a fountain of sweat appeared on it. She took out a silver needle from ber
hair and inserted it into her acupuncture point. The poison had slowly become futile from her fingertips.
A sound suddenly sounded in her ears.
“Who’s there?” Olive questioned startledly.
“It’s me.” Marvin’s voice sounded.
Why was he back again?
Olive wanted to stand up, bit a shrill voice suddenly whistled into her eardrum, and her body directly fell
on him.
She covered her ears with her hands and curled up in pain.
Outside the pharmacy, Marvin had heard the noise from inside. Olive had already locked the door.
Marvin raised his right foot and kicked open the door.
Olive fell to the ground, sweat dripping from her forehead.
“What’s wrong?” Marvin quickly stepped forward and squatted on one knee. He held Olive’s hand and
placed it under his nose as he sniffed it.
“The mandala flower? Where did you get the flower from? And why are you extracting and testing it?
Olive, do you wanna di e?”
Olive’s eyes darkened. She muttered weakly,
“I’m fine.”
Elvis took out a sharp knife from his trousers pocket and drew a line on her finger. Then he pressed
down on her acupuncture point to help detoxify her faster.
When the last drop of poison was extracted, Olive closed her eyes as she fell to the ground.
“Olive!” Marvin swiftly reached out and Olive fell into his embrace.
