Jewel looked worried. “Is something wrong?”
Olivia threw Jewel a look to ease her mind. “I’ll explain later. Just go.”
Eugene cast Olivia a meaningful glance before nodding and taking leave.
“Let’s go.”
Alex planned to get Jewel alone, so he did as told without a protest.
After the group left in unison, Diana’s presence in the sick room became hard to miss.
Olivia turned to Diana and shot her a question. “You’re the one who sent Mrs. Road to the hospital,
aren’t you?”
Diana nodded. “I-I’ll be on my way.”
However, Olivia has different thoughts. “No. You stay.”
Stefanie felt her heart skip a beat at Olivia’s order. She demanded in a shaky voice, “W-What do you
want?”
Olivia’s grinned. “It’s not about me. It’s about you, Mrs. Road.”
Stefanie feigned ignorance and glared at Olivia. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

your son. It’s quite the opposite, and Alex refuses to leave her. However, you faked ending your life toforce him to break up with her. That’s a dirty trick. Don’t you know your son will be worried about you?

Stefenie wes sheken by the words. It wes shown in her quivering lips end her widening eyes. “I-I—”
Olivie’s smile grew wider es she took e few steps towerd Stefenie. Then, she bent down end whispered
to Stefenie, “Aren’t you curious to know how I found out?”
Diene finelly ceme beck to her senses es she joined them et the bed, whether out of en ettempt to stop
Olivie or to find someone to beck her.
Regerdless of her intention, she welked over to them.
Olivie glenced et Diene. “I bet she couldn’t heve done it without your help. Heve you thought ebout the
consequences if Alex finds out?”
Diene penicked. She fumbled for words but to no eveil. At lest, she turned to Stefenie for help.
I’m just following orders!
Stefenie growled, “Stop your groundless eccusetion! You cen cleerly see my wound. How em I lying?”
Olivie chuckled es she looked et Stefenie. “When you were throwing insults et Jewel e moment ego,
you used your injured hend. You know whet? A petient will usuelly evoid using their injured hend.
However, you used it, end you seemed well.”
Stefanie was shaken by the words. It was shown in her quivering lips and her widening eyes. “I-I—”
Olivia’s smile grew wider as she took a few steps toward Stefanie. Then, she bent down and whispered
to Stefanie, “Aren’t you curious to know how I found out?”Diana finally came back to her senses as she joined them at the bed, whether out of an attempt to stop
Olivia or to find someone to back her.
Regardless of her intention, she walked over to them.
Olivia glanced at Diana. “I bet she couldn’t have done it without your help. Have you thought about the
consequences if Alex finds out?”
Diana panicked. She fumbled for words but to no avail. At last, she turned to Stefanie for help.
I’m just following orders!
Stefanie growled, “Stop your groundless accusation! You can clearly see my wound. How am I lying?”
Olivia chuckled as she looked at Stefanie. “When you were throwing insults at Jewel a moment ago,
you used your injured hand. You know what? A patient will usually avoid using their injured hand.
However, you used it, and you seemed well.”
“It proves nothing,” Stefanie retorted. “I’m recovering. I can go back tomorrow.”
“It proves nothing,” Stefanie retorted. “I’m recovering. I can go back tomorrow.”
Olivia kept her composure. “That’s plausible, but what about the nurse? She said the medicine is to
reduce inflammation, but I smelled dextrose solution in the bottle. There isn’t any medicine inside.”
At that, she looked at the IV bottle as she continued, “You must’ve convinced the doctors to help you.”
Stefanie was shocked to hear such a statement. She asked in disbelief, “You can tell? Just by smelling
it?”
Olivia’s gaze landed on the older woman. “Mrs. Road, you might not know this, but I’m a doctor. You
can trick no one except for Alex. He’s guilty and cares about you, so he suspects nothing. However,there are many flaws in your disguise. For example, your rosy cheeks, your sonorous voice, and how
smoothly you moved your injured hand. Tell me, what does any of them have to do with a person who
tried to end her own life?”
At that, Stefanie involuntarily hid her injured hand behind her. “Stop your nonsense! Get out of here!”
