Chapter 208
Mia froze for a moment.
She did not expect Olivia to ignore her and did not refute at all.
Then it would be difficult for her to continue.
After hesitating for a moment, Mia made up her mind and suddenly looked up. “I’m sorry, Olivia. It’s not that I don’t want you to treat my illness, but I’m a little frightened when I think of the moment before I fell into the water.”
Daniel looked up at her and frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.
Mia was pleased with herself. It was what she wanted to see. Let Daniel unknowingly become suspicious.
Just as Mia was feeling smug, she heard Daniel say, “Mia, you are too timid. What’s there to be afraid of? For others, it will be very difficult for them to get Olivia’s medical treatment. If you miss this chance, you won’t have another chance in the future. What a pity! How about this?” Daniel quickly thought of a good idea and continued, “In a while, I’ll get two servants to come in and accompany you. They will stand on both sides of the bed and protect you while you sleep. If necessary, one of them can hold an axe and the other a knife.”
Mia was speechless.
Olivia covered her mouth and sat on the sofa with a smile. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
“Why is Daniel so mischievous?” Olivia thought.
It was a wonderful feeling. She could always laugh easily around Daniel. That relaxed feeling made Olivia feel at ease.
However, Mia could not smile at all. Her expression was extremely ugly. Her face was pale, and her lips were trembling violently. After a long time, she said in a hoarse voice, “I’m not afraid. I just remembered something. When I was by the lake, I felt as if someone had pushed me hard behind my back.”
After saying that, she looked up at Olivia seriously. “Olivia, was there anyone else by the lake? I keep feeling that someone pushed me down.” At this moment, someone pushed open the door and entered. It was a maid who came to deliver the medicine.
After handing the medicine to Mia, the maid looked at Daniel and
hesitated.
Mia took the medicine and looked up at the maid. She frowned and said unhappily, “If you have something to say, just say it. Why are your hemming and hawing?”
“Well, alright. The maid lifted her gaze up and quickly looked at Olivia. At that time, I saw Ms. Allen and Ms. Taylor going to the lake, so I wanted to send some food over to the both of them. Before I got close, I saw Ms. Taylor and Ms. Allen arguing from afar.
“At that time, I was very worried, so I quickly ran forward and wanted to persuade them. In the end, I saw Ms. Allen’s back facing Ms. Taylor and she seemed to be saying something. Then Ms. Taylor suddenly stretched out her hand and pushed Ms. Allen hard…” As she spoke, the maid lowered her head very low. It was as if she was recalling something scary, and her body was trembling very badly.
With a bang, the cup in Mia’s hand fell to the ground.
She looked at Olivia in disbelief. “So it’s really you!” she shouted.
Mia was so angry that she shook her head in disbelief. She muttered, “I felt it at that time. Someone pushed me from behind, but I didn’t dare to think too deeply about it. I didn’t want to believe that you were the one who pushed me!”
At this point, Mia covered her face. “Why? Why? Why did you do this? Is it because I said that you were careless and didn’t care about Daniel? I only said a few words to you. Why did you…”
Before she could finish, Daniel’s gaze turned cold. He turned to Olivia and said, “Go out for a while.”
Olivia was slightly stunned.
Mia lowered her head and smiled. From an angle that Daniel could not see, she gave Olivia a smug look.
“Between boyfriend and girlfriend, this kind of misunderstanding is the worst. It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t work this time. I will still have another chance. I’m sure there will be a gap between the two of you sooner or later,” Mia thought.
After Olivia left, Mia pretended to be uneasy. “Daniel, it might be a misunderstanding. I haven’t been feeling well for the past few days. I’m very dizzy. My memory might be messed up.”
Mia was very familiar with this trick.
Daniel pulled a chair and sat opposite Mia. His expression MRS
unprecedentedly serious. “Mia, are you sure Olaia pushed you down?” be
asked
Mia lowered her eyes and put on a forbearing expression. She pretended to be aggrieved for the sake of the overall situation. Daniel. I remembered wrongly. You were too impulsive just now. Why did you
chase Olivia out? Hurry up and find her. Don’t influence your relationship because of me.”
Daniel shook his head “No. I won’t let her in yet”
Mia could not help but feel happy secretly in her mind.
Then, Daniel continued, “I don’t want her to hear these bad things. The Taylor family and the Smith family already have too many bad things that bother her. I hope she can be relaxed in front of me without any tricks or unhappiness.”
“Daniel, L..” Mia was suddenly at a loss. The development of the matter was beyond her expectations.
“Mia, how many years have we known each other?” Daniel’s tone
suddenly changed. He lowered his eyes and looked straight at Mia. It has been almost 20 years, right? This friendship is very precious to me. I have always treated you as my biological sister,” he said.
He turned his chair, his gaze deep and profound. “Mia, I care about Olivia very much. Please don’t make things difficult for her, okay? All these years, I’ve never begged you for anything. Today, I’m begging you.”
Mia choked and suddenly covered her face. Her previously smug eyes were filled with desolation.
She had lost. However, she did not lose to Olivia, but to Daniel.
As if she could not control her tears, she wiped them again and again, but her face was still wet. In the end, she could only give up helplessly.
“Daniel?” Mia’s voice trembled. She could not figure it out. “Why do you trust Olivia so much? Why are you so sure that she did not push me? We’ve known each other for almost 20 years, why don’t you trust me?” “Mia.” Daniel’s tone was calm. “I know Olivia and you. The truth of this matter is not difficult
to guess. Even if I really can’t determine which is true and which is false, I can still ask the experts from the Criminal Investigation Department to investigate. Your position at that time, the footprints left by the lake, and even if the maid was lying, there are ways to find the truth. It’s not difficult to find out the truth. What’s difficult is

how to deal with it.”
Daniel’s eyes were calm, but his stance was clear. “Mia, even if we have been friends for nearly 20 years, even if I value you very much, Olivia is my girlfriend and will be my wife in the future. No matter what happens, no matter who is right or wrong, the first thing I have to do is to protect her.”
Daniel paused for a moment as if he was adjusting his emotions, “Protecting her is the prerequisite for everything. Please understand me” Regarding the conflict between Mia and Olivia, Daniel was not a blockhead. He could more or less feel it. However, he believed that Olivia could handle her relationship with Mia. He also believed that Mia was a rational person who would restrain herself.
Unfortunately, things had still approached the edge of danger.
Instead of deepening the conflict and making it to the point of no return, it was better to make his stand clear as soon as possible and show his attitude.
He would protect Olivia. No matter who had conflicts with Olivia, he would always protect Olivia.
The sooner Mia understood this, the better.
