Chapter 75
Jameson’s lab was vast, eyeballing it to be at least 5,000 square feet.
With Ezra clinging to him, Jameson dove straight into the treatment room on the right. He would likely
be too wrapped up with the little tyke to notice Olivia for a bit.
With this in mind, Olivia scanned the fire evacuation map hanging on the wall and then headed towards
the recuperation area marked on it.
According to functional divisions, it’s highly probable that severe trauma patients would be a**igned to
this section of the medical lab.
Thankfully, every room was labelled, making it a breeze for Olivia to find the recuperation area.
The entire rest area comprises three rooms.
Olivia took out a small white chip from her pocket, pressed the button on it, and stuck it on the door
closest to her.
The chip didn’t react, so Olivia casually removed it and headed to the second room.
This small white chip was a compact thermal detector. Stick it on a door, and if there was someone
inside, the chip would instantly light up red.
Simple and efficient.
Unfortunately, after trying two rooms in a row, the chip remained silent.
Only one room was left.
Standing in front of the door, Olivia let out a deep sigh.
The chip lit up!
Someone was inside!
Seeing the chip glow red, Olivia felt a surge of joy and swiftly turned the doorknob, slipping inside.
Little did Olivia expect to bump into someone as soon as she entered.
A deep, magnetic voice echoed from above Olivia’s head, sending a chill down her spine.
“Miss Clarke? May I know what brings you to my room unannounced?”
William looked leisurely at the surprised young woman before him. His high–end silk shirt was so
meticulously crafted it seemed almost seamless, elevating his already refined aura.
“This is my first time seeing such a colossal medical lab, curiosity got the better of me. I apologize for
the intrusion, Mr. Kinsman.” Olivia’s eyes flicked upwards, swiftly suppressing her startled heart, and
replied in a languid tone.
“Are you sure, Miss Clarke?” William clearly didn’t buy her explanation.
“What’s wrong? Is Mr. Kinsman now policing people’s curiosity? I did barge in unexpectedly, but you
didn’t go naked either. Do you want me to take responsibilities?”
“It’s not impossible to take responsibilities. If Miss Clarke is willing…”
William’s eyes were half–lidded, his lips curled in an enticing grin, each word a tantalizing tease.
“I’m sorry, but I’ve lost interest in you lately, Mr. Kinsman. So please, no more shooting from the hip in
front of the media.”
Olivia intentionally deflected the conversation, also to settle scores over his “big talk” on the trending
topic.
Every time she caught sight of William now, her mind would automatically conjure the image of him Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
standing before the reporters, solemnly declaring his pursuit of her.
William is so shameless!
“No biggie, Miss Clarke. No need to say thank you. After all, no one would sit on their hands when an
exceptional woman like you is wrongly labeled as the homewrecker.”
William looked at Olivia’s slightly fuming face, feigning righteousness.
Olivia was so speechless. Has this jerk changed his character recently?
Hmm, William does seem a bit off–kilter!
“So, Mr. Kinsman, playing white knight and saving the damsel in distress, should I be thanking you?”

“No need to say thank you, Miss Clarke. I don’t lack anything. If you still feel indebted, you can
consider tying the knot
with me.”
William’s voice was deep and seductive, determined to flirt with her.
Tie the knot, no way!
William was daydreaming under the broad daylight?
The anger in Olivia’s heart was shooting through the roof.
However, Olivia quickly got a grip on her emotions, and the fury in her eyes dissolved, replaced by a
beguiling smile.
“Marrying you isn’t out of the question if you’re willing to offer the Kinsman Group as a dowry. I might
mull it over.”
Olivia looked up, her eyes twinkling with an increasingly soft yet intense smile, radiating charm. Step by
step, she moved closer to William, her slender fingers fearlessly toying with his tie.
“The Kinsman Group? You are really demanding, Miss Clarke.”
William looked slightly taken aback, his brow furrowing.
Olivia is so audacious, asking for the entire Kinsman Group?
The kicker is, he’s actually considering her audacious proposal…
“Are you serious, Miss Clarke?”
After a moment, William spoke, as though he was genuinely ready to hand over his business empire.
The earnestness that suddenly flashed in William’s deep eyes, like a blazing fire, caught Olivia off
guard.
Olivia almost believed it
William’s act was so convincing she almost believed it!
“It’s just a joke, Mr. Kinsman, don’t take it seriously.”
William’s care and favor, something Olivia had yearned for but never obtained…
Now within her reach, Olivia wants nothing but to flee.
As Olivia turned to run, her wrist was seized in a firm grip.
“Olivia, you should know that I never joke with anyone.”
William had Olivia cornered against the wall, his arm circling her slender waist. He bent down to
murmur in her ear, his warm breath tickling her earlobe, sending tingles of numbness through her body,
making it almost impossible for her to hold herself up.
“William, what are you trying to do? Let me go…”
“What if I don’t?”
“You…”
The tension between the two against the wall was as thick as thieves. Jameson, who had just stepped
out of the treatment room with Ezra, was gob smacked at the sight before him.
What’s going on?
William is finally in love with someone?
Jameson was starting to think he was seeing things from the lack of sleep these past few days.
William, the epitome of a gentleman, the man not to be swayed by the beauties of Melburgh, was
actually flirting – and with his ex–wife, no less!
Jameson had always insisted that William had a thing for Olivia, but the stubborn mule wouldn’t admit
it! He’d snap photos and see how William would defend himself!
Jameson couldn’t help but smirk as he pulled out his phone, capturing the scene of the two in the
distance,
A few seconds of basking in his triumph later, Jameson remembered that Lucian was still next to him.
He quickly covered the little tyke’s eyes and whisked him away.
“Nothing to see here, nothing to see… Luci didn’t see anything. It’s still early, Uncle smith will give you
another check–up.”
Jameson muttered as he carried Ezra back to the treatment room, closing the door behind them with a
snap.

A few seconds later.
Two pairs of bright eyes, one big, one small, peeked through the blinds of the treatment room window.
Ezra, watching his dad try to hold his mom’s hand, started to worry.
What was going on?
“When did daddy and mommy get along so well?”
That big jerk seemed like he wanted to hold mommy’s hand!
Could it be that he still liked mommy?
No, no, no, he couldn’t let mommy be abandoned by that jerk again!
This match, he would not approve!
