Chapter 45
Afterwards, Bruce went straight to bed and lied down on one end, leaving the other half for Olivia.
Seeing her stunned expression, Bruce looked over with his deep dark eyes and resisted to smile.
"Go to bed.You can sleep beside me.’ Olivia stayed silent.
‘Is this happening right now?’ Olivia was scared.
"This isn't good, is it?" Olivia asked.
While standing still and looking at Bruce, the red candle in her hand trembled.
Her heart was at the brink of a collapse.
‘’Why is Bruce so cold in front of other people? He's like a merciless god.He's like an unplucked flower planted in a summit of a snow mountain.He's just ruthless! But in front of me, his coldness and arrogance are suddenly gone” She thought to herself. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
‘Who would believe this? This is unreal? “ Olivia felt like crying.
After thinking, she decided to leave.
"Good night!"
She hurriedly said as she quickly left the room.
There was no light due to power outage, and because she ran so quickly, the candlelight suddenly went out.
Olivia, who had instantly fallen into darkness, stopped and stood still.
She could not find the door anywhere.She could never leave now.
"Ugh!" Olivia grunted.
"Damn it! This is driving me crazy!"
Suddenly, a chuckle could be heard from behind her.
Olivia felt her surroundings lighten.
A candle was finally lit.
She turned around and saw that Bruce had already finished setting up her side of the bed.
Looking at the girl's blushing face, Bruce mocked her.
"Don't worry, I won't give you a chance to take advantage of me.’
‘Of course, he doesn't have to resist’ Olivia thought.
She caught herself thinking like she's interested in Bruce.
Feeling embarrassed, she didn't say anything.
Olivia smiled and the awkwardness of being in the same room slowly disappeared as he started joking around and playing tricks on her.
"Don't worry, I will definitely remain unmoved! I'll stay still." She giggled.
"Oh, what a pity!" Bruce replied.
Bruce sighed lightly and instantly regretted what he said.
His thin lips curled up slightly and the smile on his face remained.
Olivia didn't know what he meant, but she didn't dare to ask further.
She was afraid that Bruce would say something shocking.
Olivia took her shoes off and lied down, pulling the slightly musty blanket over her body.
‘Today felt like a dream’ She looked up at the ceiling.
She was confused and shocked that she actually agreed to stay in the same room as Bruce! If people found out about this, it would probably leave them in shock.
Thinking of this, Olivia turned to face Bruce and quietly locked her eyes on him.
The candle didn't blow out, emitting a faint light.
Through the dim light, she could see the perfect handsome face of a man.
His dark eyes were closed, and she could see the shadows of his long lashes on his eyelids.
It made his eyebrows look less cold and solemn.
It looked gentle.
This face was truly captivating.
Just as she was staring at him, Bruce suddenly opened his eyes.
As the candlelight dimmed even more, the gazes of the two unexpectedly met.
Olivia was stunned.
He saw that Bruce's pair of smiling eyes were filled with mystery.
Olivia felt her body react to his sexy gaze.
Looking at him, her cheeks started to burn.
She didn't look away instantly.
She was obsessed with the beauty right in front of her.
‘What could be more embarrassing than this?’ She caught herself.
Olivia immediately closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
The small room was now filled with a different kind of atmosphere.
For a while, Bruce stared at Olivia who was pretending to be asleep.
Suddenly, he saw a faint smile flash in front of his eyes.
‘’Oh, stop pretending “ he thought and giggled.
The next morning, the sky lit up.
The storm finally passed, leaving behind fallen trees and scattered mud.
Olivia and Bruce bid farewell and left.
Before leaving, Olivia saw Bruce leave a small stack of money on the table.
While looking outside the car's window, Olivia yawned several times .
She felt restless for a long time last night and only fell asleep in the second half of the night.
Because the bed was old and firm, it was not very comfortable.
There was no other way though, she had to settle for it.
Yesterday's stay was beyond Olivia's expectations.
She thought that someone with a high status like Bruce would be picky and fussy.
She did not expect him to not have any of the snobbery that a typical rich man had.
Even if they had to stay at a farmer's house, he remained calm and composed.
‘‘Such a charming man is truly astonishing’’ She thought.
Olivia stopped daydreaming and asked.
"Do you feel any back pain?"
Yesterday, he gave her the entire bed and moved to the ground.
Because of the heavy rain, the ground was slightly damp, and she was worried that he hadn't slept well.
Bruce glanced at Olivia and raised his eyebrows.
He assured her.
"It doesn't hurt.You have to remember that my body is strong." Olivia stayed silent.
She blushed and didn't dare to continue this topic.
As they drove back to the restricted area, the search continued.
According to the news relayed by the rescue team, three cars were found and a total of five people were rescued from the vehicles.
Because of the rapid medical response, those who were severely injured were prevented from dying, but they later fell into a coma.
Although all of them were injured, their lives were not in danger.
However, they had never heard of Galen specifically.
He was still missing.
It was not until 9:30 in the morning that they saw a thick smoke coming from a distance.
It seemed as if a fire had started.
Bruce looked from afar and immediately made a decision.
"Let's go take a look" Olivia followed him hurriedly.
"Could that be a signal from Galen?" Olivia asked.
"Definitely.Bruce looked behind him, and after walking halfway, he suddenly extended his hand towards Olivia and said.
"Come, hold on to me.’ Yesterday, there was a violent storm, so their path was muddy.
Olivia tried as hard as she could to walk faster, but there were too many potholes, so they had to pay attention if they didn't want to fall.
Olivia realized that it was going to be a difficult path.
In order to prevent herself from falling down, she handed her hand over to Bruce without much thought.
With him leading the way, it would be much easier to walk through the muddy path.
When they reached the area, they discovered that the place where the smoke was coming from was an abandoned building.
It was burning inside, and thick smoke came out from the old windows.
Not far from the building, they saw two bodies lying on the ground.
It was Galen.
Suddenly, Olivia sees a familiar face.
"Ashley? Why are you here?"
After recognizing the girl beside Galen, Olivia was shocked.
Ever since the last time she rescued her, she had been busy dealing with Donald's family and had forgotten about this adorable and beloved girl.
'I didn't expect that I would encounter this scene again!’ She thought to herself.
While Olivia looked at Ashley, a thought flashed in her mind.
She thought that perhaps the reason why Ashley was living a more peaceful life now was because of what Olivia had done for her.
She was drastically different before.
This time Galen was also saved, and because of this, Olivia's perception and ways from her past life had now completely changed.
The moment she saw Olivia, Ashley's eyes lit up and cried out in surprise.
"Olivia? You saved me again! This really means a lot!"
Just as she finished speaking, Galen, who was lying beside her, suddenly rolled his eyes.
"Excuse me? Can you speak with a little bit of conscience? It was clearly me who saved you! It was me!"
