But what else could he do? Thomas knew he used the acupuncture technique in ‘The Imperial Acupuncture.’ If that method could not save Olivia, then ordinary herbal medicine would not do anything. That’s right! I have Blood of the Blazing Sun! How did I forget that? There was something mysterious about his blood as it contained the ability to restore a nearly dead person’s health!
Once he thought of that, he grabbed the knife on the table and slashed his artery without hesitation, then placed it next to Olivia’s lips to ensure his blood flowed into her mouth. Luckily for them, Olivia escaped just in time. The backlash of the poison was already so serious after only two days of her not taking the herbal medicine. Olivia would probably lose her life if she went three days without the medicine.
However, after half an hour, Olivia still showed no signs of waking up!
Thomas’ face was pale as a ghost at this point, and he might die of blood loss before Olivia woke up if this continued. So, he quickly pressed on a few acupoints to stop his bleeding.
“Olivia, wake up!” He tried waking her up again, but Olivia still did not respond. Then, he placed his hand on her forehead again.
Instantly, Thomas’ eyes widened when he discovered her forehead was still icy. Didn’t I just give her a ton of blood? Why isn’t she showing any improvement?
Taking off his shirt to expose his arm, Thomas was still unconvinced and slashed his arm. Then, he ignored the dizziness and continued to feed Olivia his Blood of the Blazing Sun.
As time passed, Thomas closed his eyes tightly. His pale-as-paper face was filled with sweat.
Finally, he could not hold on any longer and fell on his butt.
“Phew! Phew!” While stopping the bleeding on his arm, Thomas breathed heavily. Even if he weren’t an ordinary man, it was still tough for him to lose so much blood at once.
Why? Why is this happening? Is the Blood of the Blazing Sun not working? But that’s impossible! I’ve even used it to save Chloe from near death. If even the Blood of the Blazing Sun wasn’t working, then Thomas was out of methods to save Olivia.
Click! Thomas lit his cigarette and took a draw while shivering uncontrollably.
Olivia must not die! He had had enough after Zachary’s death! Even if someone had to die, he would die before her! But what other method could there be? Even his trump card, his Blood of the Blazing Sun, could not cure Olivia’s condition, so there was no other way! What was the use of having such great medical skills when he couldn’t save the people he cared about?
At that moment, Thomas felt devastated. He knew now to read his body’s condition well. He knew blood was extremely important to a person and that he was at his very limit.
Powerless. That was how he felt both physically and mentally. If his enemies, like the Hinds or Xalmars, came at this moment, they would easily kill him because he was now extremely weak from losing too much blood.
“Olivia, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I failed to keep my promise to protect you…” Thomas felt great remorse as tears began welling in his eyes. If this condition persisted, the only outcome for Olivia would be death.
Olivia would not have ended up in this situation if he hadn’t been careless and failed to discover that Shadow was an imposter.
To think of it, he had an unshakeable responsibility for Olivia’s death, and from a particular level, Olivia’s death was the same as Zachary’s. They died because of his incompetence.
“Wow!” At that moment, Molly came in and shivered, wondering why the office was so cold. But when she looked up, she froze.
Olivia was lying on the couch with disheveled hair and unkempt clothes, while Thomas was sitting and smoking on the side, all sweaty. Most importantly, he was half-naked. Molly could not help but wonder what had happened there. Could it be that Thomas and Miss Pearson were having…
A possibility came to Molly’s mind that could perfectly explain why the two were in such a state.
It seems like Thomas likes Miss Pearson more… It makes sense because Miss Pearson is such a great woman, a beautiful swan, while I’m the ugly duckling! Molly could no longer hold in her emotions, and tears began running down her eyes. Even if she had expected it was impossible between her and Thomas, she had been secretly admiring him for so long, so it was still heartbreaking for her to see this. She thought, No wonder he has been quite cold to me lately, rejecting my invitations and keeping our conversations to the minimum. It turns out he and Olivia had already gotten together.
While looking at Olivia lying still on the couch and her disheveled hair, Molly thought they must have engaged in that sort of activity.
Thomas turned to look at Molly and ordered strictly, “Stay away!”
Since he was frustrated, he did not pay attention to his tone.
When Molly heard what was said, she looked deeply at Thomas’ unfriendly face before turning around and running away. She hid in the corner of the hallway and cried her heart out. The moment she heard him say, “stay away,” she felt like her heart had cracked into pieces. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Molly did not think deeper into this matter. Both Thomas and Olivia were not insatiable people who would sleep together in the office during the day. Also, the two lived together, so they would have slept
together long ago if they did have something going on. They didn’t have to engage in such activities in the office.
While Molly was bawling her eyes out, Thomas had brought Olivia back to Northpine Villa.
To his surprise, Thomas discovered some changes in Olivia’s body. Some faint traces of blood could be seen through her shirt, and it was not only confined to one spot. That discovery startled him, and he wondered, What’s this? Olivia’s not injured, so where did the blood come from?
He could care less about gender taboos at this moment and quickly took off Olivia’s shirt to check on her. What he saw was Olivia’s skin had dried, and there were a lot of fine cracks on her skin. The blood was seeping out from those cracks.
