I’m Someone Else

Chapter 106

I haven’t known Olivia for long, but even I know what kind of a person she is. Is she the kind of person who would frame other people and make a scene? Can’t you even tell something so obvious at your age?

Not daring to hesitate any longer, Terrence hastily helped Norman up and fled in a hurry. He’s formidable! He couldn’t even muster up the courage to fight back in front of Thomas, who was really formidable. That kick just now gave him a clear picture of just how huge the gap between him and this guy was!

“You… What’s your relationship with Olivia?” Harrison asked Thomas after recovering from his astonishment. He broke Norman’s arm and sent Terrence’s hired gun flying with a kick for Olivia’s sake. This Thomas guy is no ordinary person, and he seems so kind to Olivia! Don’t tell me they’re seeing each other! If that’s the case, it’ll spell disaster for Olivia’s task. If she loses her virginity, death will be the only fate awaiting her! As for you, Thomas, I’m afraid you won’t survive either!

“That’s none of your f*cking business!” Thomas shot an angry look at Harrison in a fit of temper. Don’t carp at me, you old man, or I’m gonna beat you up as well!

“How dare you—” Harrison’s face flushed angrily. When did anyone ever dare to talk to him in such a manner? That being said, he dared not blow up at Thomas either. Even a capable person from a mysterious background like Rafael Mazer had to treat this man with great respect, so he’d better not mess with him. He’s beaten up even the father and son of the Pearson Family. He wouldn’t mind beating me up as well!

“Old Mr. Denver! Now that Olivia’s alright, why don’t you leave now and let her recuperate in peace?” Quincy hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over. He knew something about Thomas’ temper; this guy might really beat Harrison up if the latter got on his nerves!

Harrison let out a sigh of resignation. Then, he turned around and left with his two daughters.

Samuel patted Thomas on the shoulder before leaving with Quincy.

Olivia, Ophelie, and Thomas were the only ones left in the room.

“Thank you so much, Thomas!” thanked Olivia sincerely. She was moved by what the man had done just now. He didn’t hesitate to turn against the Pearsons for my sake. Does he only see me as his sister? If he doesn’t, why would he acknowledge me as his younger sister from today onward instead of seeing me as his girlfriend?

Thomas stood by her sickbed while wiping her tears away. “Good girl, it’s all over now. Don’t cry anymore.”

“Mm-hmm, I’m not crying anymore,” replied Olivia, but the tears wouldn’t stop. She didn’t want to cry either, but she was hurt deep down. We’re both Norman’s own children. Why’d he trust his son but not my sister and me? What did we do wrong to deserve this? We didn’t provoke Gavin at all. He kicked me when I refused to agree to his unreasonable demands!

At the sight of this, Thomas instantly took her into his arms. He comforted her in a soft voice, “Don’t cry anymore, and don’t worry. From now on, no one can bully you as long as I’m still breathing!” Then, he continued, “Keyshire Property is yours now, so you can live your life the way you want to. No one can intimidate or bully you, and you’re still the Most Beautiful Female Entrepreneur in Irieson.”

Blinking her bright and beautiful eyes, Olivia asked, “Thomas, will you be this nice to me for the rest of your life?”

He replied with a smile, “Of course.”

Only then did her face relax into a sweet smile.

Thomas said, “Get some sleep. I’ll take you to the villa first thing in the morning tomorrow.” He knew without a doubt that the villa given to him by Rafael must be fully furnished and move-in ready, so he only had to get a car ready for Olivia later on.

“Okay.” Olivia also felt a wave of drowsiness wash over her without the man telling her so. Her eyes were so heavy she could barely keep them open. “C-Can you stay? Please stay with me.” For some reason, she hoped he could always stay by her side. As long as he watched over her, she would feel relaxed and be able to have a good sleep. Otherwise, she would always feel like she was missing something.

Thomas pulled a new chair over to sit at her bedside. “Just relax and sleep. I’ll watch over you.”

At the sight of him right beside her, Olivia finally fell into a peaceful sleep. It didn’t take long before her regular breathing could be heard, and it was apparent that she was really tired.

As for Ophelie, she had sensibly left the ward the moment her sister was taken into Thomas’ arms. The pair didn’t even notice her leaving.

Seeing Olivia sleeping soundly on her sickbed, Thomas shook his head in remorse. He had noticed during their phone conversation this morning that something wasn’t right with her. Had he been attentive enough to ask about it, perhaps he would’ve been staying by her side all the time, and she wouldn’t have gotten wounded.

In the small hours, he stepped out of the ward and leaned against the wall, smoking. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Suddenly, Quincy showed up in front of him with a cup of tea in his hand. “Tired? Here, refresh yourself with some tea.” He didn’t leave the hospital. After all, he was worried after something so serious had happened.

Thomas took the cup of tea from him. After taking a swig of it, he stamped out his cigarette, put the teacup aside, and pressed his temples with both hands.

Quincy asked in a grave voice, “Forgive me for asking, but aren’t you being too nice to Olivia? You two seem more than just friends.” Even he was somewhat envious of Olivia, who actually had someone formidable like Thomas to guard her. Thomas didn’t hesitate to turn against the Pearsons for her sake and even gave Keyshire Property to her with a phone call.

Not only that, but he gave her a villa and 280 million worth of cash, which wasn’t something an ordinary person could do. Thomas said he and Olivia were just colleagues plus friends, but Quincy was skeptical about it. After all these years, he was at least good at observing things like this.

“Is it so?” asked Thomas dismissively.

“Is it not so?” asked Quincy worriedly. “Thomas, are you in love with Olivia?”

Thomas frowned at the question. Love? Well, it does seem that I’d developed some special feelings for Olivia before I knew it. No, I only see her as a friend. Ever since what happened to Zachary, I’ve vowed to never let my friends get hurt again in the slightest, and that’s all. It’s got nothing to do with love! “No!” he replied, shaking his head.

Quincy gave him a long, meaningful stare, though he didn’t ask any further questions. Still, he couldn’t help feeling that Thomas’ kindness toward Olivia had gone beyond the boundaries of friendship.

Thomas asked, “By the way, can you look for Gavin Pearson for me?” He could’ve tracked Gavin down on his own, but that would be a bit of a hassle, and he would have had to contact Sean and others, so it was better to get Quincy’s help instead. After all, Quincy had always been in touch with the Pearsons and was thus more familiar with Gavin.

“I figured you’d ask me.” Having determined Gavin’s location earlier on, Quincy told Thomas right away.
