Chapter 491: 434: Changing the Tune Quickly
After she woke up, she first asked about William Lane’s condition, and then she didn’t talk much.
Hugo thought she would make a fuss and cry, but she didn’t show any reaction and just lay quietly on the bed.
When people talked to her, she either said yes or no. Otherwise, she wouldn’t respond.
This continued until Charlotte Lane and Old Master Lane arrived.
Olivia’s gaze turned to the door upon hearing the sound of the door opening and footsteps, she suddenly sat up on the bed after seeing Charlotte.
Hugo, afraid that she would be dizzy, immediately got up to support her.
“Sister.” As soon as Olivia spoke, her voice was filled with sobs, and she reached out to hug Charlotte.
Charlotte walked two steps forward, standing beside the bed. Olivia immediately hugged her and burst into tears, “Sister.”
Charlotte gently placed her hand on Olivia’s head, not daring to use force, and lightly touched her, saying, “Why are you crying?”
Olivia’s shoulders trembled as she cried, and after a while, her voice became noticeably hoarse, “Brother, he, he…”
“It’s okay, he’ll be fine.”
“It’s my fault, it’s all my fault.” Olivia choked up, “Brother did it to protect me, if he hadn’t come to pick me up…”
“It’s not your fault,” Charlotte said. “Someone deliberately set it up, and we have already taken care of it. None of those who should be dealt with will be spared.”
Olivia cried for a long time, and finally, when her emotions calmed down a bit, her eyelids had completely disappeared from crying.
Charlotte was about to grab a tissue to wipe Olivia’s tears, but when she turned around, Hugo handed her a box of tissues. Charlotte glanced at him and took two tissues to wipe Olivia’s tears.
That glance made Hugo’s heart race.
Charlotte said, “You cried so much you look ugly.”
“Are you despising me?” Olivia tilted her head back to look at her, letting Charlotte wipe her tears.
“How dare I?” Charlotte said, “If I make you cry again, I’ll have to call the doctor to give you a sedative.”
Olivia sniffed, “That’s so cruel.”
Charlotte smiled slightly, “Lie down.”
“Okay.” Olivia was about to lie down, but suddenly saw Old Master Lane standing behind Charlotte.
She was too close to Charlotte just now, and her line of sight was blocked, so she didn’t see Old Master Lane at all.
And when they entered the room just now, it seemed that she only saw her sister.
“Grandpa, you’re here too?” Olivia straightened up immediately.
Old Master Lane took two steps forward, smiling, “Finally noticed your grandpa? I thought you only had eyes for your sister.”
“Grandpa, please have a seat.” Olivia said, “I was just too emotional.”
Old Master Lane sat in the chair beside the bed and looked at her, asking, “How are you feeling? Are you dizzy?”
“I’m fine.” Olivia paused for a moment before saying, “Grandpa, I’m sorry.”
“What are you talking about, it’s not your fault, this incident has nothing to do with you.” Old Master Lane said gently, “William will be fine too.”
Olivia lowered her head and said nothing.
“Lie down, sitting up for too long will make you dizzy.” Old Master Lane said.
Old Master Lane stayed in the ward for a while before Charlotte accompanied him to see William.
Arthur North and Hugo Clark did not go together but went outside the hospital to smoke.
“Third Uncle, how could you not notice anything?”
Arthur North glanced at him but didn’t respond.
“I felt that William was quite happy recently.” Hugo said, “I thought he was in love.”
“Is he?”
“Hmm.” Hugo was quite concerned about William, after all, he would be his future Cousin Smith, so he needed to please him to some extent.
As for Arthur North… he never thought such a situation would happen today.
“No wonder there were rumors about you two.” Arthur had already seen the news online on his way here.
Hugo Clark:
“Third Uncle, I have to thank you.”
Arthur North smoked without paying attention to him.
“Facing Cousin Smith and my father-in-law first thanks to you, my pressure has been greatly reduced.” Hugo Clark said jokingly.
“Get lost.” Arthur North threw him a merciless word.
He suddenly remembered what he had said to Hugo Clark.
You dare to marry a daughter of the Lane Family.
Arthur North frowned slightly.
Hugo Clark didn’t dare speak.
Arthur North finished one cigarette and took another from Hugo Clark’s pocket and lit it: “Anyway, I’m married now. You’d better think about how to make that little girl like you first.”
A direct hit.
Hugo Clark didn’t want to breathe, let alone talk.
He always felt that Olivia Lane was like a broken fate thread.
It is not that she is not committed to him. According to his observation for such a long time, she just didn’t care about being in a romantic relationship.
She never liked anyone and didn’t even care about being in love.
“Third Uncle, how did you win Auntie over?”
Arthur North ignored him.
“According to reason, shouldn’t the love story take up a certain place in the minds of little girls of Olivia’s age?” Hugo Clark didn’t understand, “But she doesn’t have a point at all.”
“Do you think she is precocious or late-blooming?”
“Or did she see through the world?”
Hugo Clark usually didn’t say much, but today he kept talking and talking, annoying Arthur North.
Arthur North finished his cigarette and turned to leave: “Just stay single. As for having great-grandchildren, let my parents count on Charles Amos.”
With that, he left.
Hugo Clark looked at his retreating figure and clicked his tongue.
He should have asked him how to chase someone first.
Now that he has annoyed him, it’s none of his business.
Miscalculation.
After Arthur North returned to the ward, he found that the little girl had admitted Old Master Lane to the hospital, and his ward was next to Olivia Lane’s.
“What happened?” Arthur North thought something had happened while he was away.
“His blood pressure is too high.” Charlotte Lane said indifferently.
“It’s all thanks to the young lady.” The housekeeper’s expression relaxed a lot, “Otherwise, the Old Master wouldn’t even be willing to be hospitalized.”
“Charlotte, Charlotte.” The Old Master called her from the ward.
Arthur North and Charlotte Lane entered the ward together.
“Charlotte, I’m really fine,” the Old Master said. “I’ll be fine after taking some medicine. Let’s go back. I’m not used to this place.”
“You’ll get used to it.” Charlotte Lane said mercilessly, “Before your blood pressure goes down and stabilizes, I won’t hear a word about leaving the hospital.”
Old Master Lane:
Arthur North chuckled.
Old Master Lane looked at Arthur North and said, “Arthur, I’m really fine. Come and take my pulse and tell me if I’m fine, if I don’t need to be hospitalized.”
Charlotte Lane looked sideways at Arthur North.
Arthur North felt half of his body freezing due to her gaze: “Grandpa, do I look like I have a say in this?”
Charlotte Lane’s eyelashes trembled slightly.
Old Master Lane:
After a while, the Old Master was climbing onto the bed resignedly, grumbling, “Kid, you sure know how to change your tune.”
