Chapter 67 To Save a Life
Olivia stared at her phone, frowning at the busy signal after the call ended.
“What happened? Why’d King come back so suddenly?” Benjamin asked, puzzled.

Olivia shook her head. “No idea. He sounded weird on the phone like he was unwell or something. We’ll find out when he gets here.”
Benjamin frowned but stayed quiet.
After about ten minutes, a knock sounded on the hospital room door. Lucas and King walked in.
Lucas took the lead and rushed to Olivia, anxious, “Hey! Are you okay? King told me you had a fever and got admitted last night. What happened? Now, I feel awful for taking you to that banquet. If something happened to you, King would never let me live it down!”
Olivia couldn’t help but smile at his dramatic worry. “Nah. He wouldn’t, trust me! I’m okay, it was just an accident. No need to panic.”
Lucas let out a dramatic sigh of relief. “Oh, thank goodness! I thought I was a goner!” He turned to King with a grin. “See? All good here. Not a single hair out of place.”
King gave him a neutral look, choosing not to respond to the lighthearted jab.
He walked towards Olivia’s bedside; his towering figure clad in a silver–grey suit exuding an aura of quiet authority.
However, his confident demeanor seemed slightly subdued, replaced by a hint of suppressed concern.
“Hey, King!” Benjamin was the first to greet him.
“Hello!” Liam, standing beside Olivia, added his greeting.
“Good to see you both,” King said, forcing a smile. He ruffled Liam’s hair and then turned to Olivia, who stared intently at him.
Olivia met his gaze with a determined glint in her eyes. Her face was pale, but she seemed to be in good spirits despite not feeling well.
King sighed in relief. “Fever gone?” he asked gently.
Olivia simply nodded.
King reached out, instinctively checking her forehead. Satisfied, he said, almost scolding, “Can’t you take better care of yourself? While I appreciate your hard work, your health comes first. I don’t want my best assistant burning out on me.”
Olivia chuckled nervously. “Yeah, I usually take care of myself, but this was just a one–time thing. It won’t happen again. Anyway…
She looked at King with concern. “Are you alright? What brought you back so suddenly? Is it your health again?”

Olivia, however, felt a shiver down her spine. This wasn’t King’s first near–death experience.

Despite her worry, Olivia perked up at the mention of Harry. A renowned doctor, though quite eccentric. He treated patients based on his mood swings and was a ghost when it came to finding him.
“No way, he’s here? How do we locate him? Let me know if I can help!” Olivia knew Harry was King’s best bet, so she was eager to assist.
King’s eyes softened. He knew Olivia was the famous hacker “Grim Reaper” with incredible info–gathering skills. Her offer showed she cared deeply.
“Not just yet,” he replied gently. “But if the situation changes, you’ll be the first person I turn to.”
Olivia hesitated, wanting to say more, but nodded in the end.
Outside the room, Nathan was watching. His face darkened, especially seeing the concern in Olivia’s eyes.
He narrowed his eyes, a dangerous aura growing around him.
