Chapter 899: Chapter 873 Don’t Look Down on People Waiting at Ho Chapter 899: Chapter 873 Don’t Look Down on People Waiting at Ho Olivia Plum Brown took the phone, it was a call from her biological mother.
“Olivia, have you eaten?”
“Not yet, what’s up?”
“Your father, he was found to have grown sothing yesterday, he’ll be undergoing surgery this week. Will you co back?”
“Ah!” Olivia was shocked and turned pale.
“What’s grown? Is it serious?”
“A polyp, it’s not serious, but he needs an endoscopic resection to remove a gastric polyp. It’s not severe. Your father’s intention was not to tell you, fearing it would delay your career efforts outside. I thought since your business hasn’t started yet, and this isn’t a big deal, calling you would make your father happy and focus on his recovery.”
Hearing her mother’s cautious tone, Olivia felt a sourness in her nose.
“Stop it, I’ll co back right away.”
“If Giorno isn’t too busy with work, could he possibly co along? Of course, if he’s busy, never mind.”
Daniel Johnson ‘Wealthy and Honorable’ was quite well-regarded at the Ery estate; his foster parents and biological parents both liked this young man—a solid person. While he might not be extrely wealthy, he was dependable. For a lifelong partner, it was better to choose soone reliable like an intellectual, rather than marrying into a wealthy or powerful family. Treating him as half their son-in-law already.
“He… he’s really busy.” Olivia glanced at Giorno’s leg and declined.
“Olivia, what happened to your father?” Mother Yuno overheard and ca over to ask.
Olivia passed the phone to her and turned to pack her bags. More accurately, she was planning to just take her wallet and ID and leave directly.
“Olivia, I’ll go with you,” Giorno said from his wheelchair.
“Don’t, my parents will get even more worried seeing you injured. I’ll go back by myself.”
Having said that, Olivia walked out, and Kiara gave Mario Yuno a aningful look. Mario imdiately followed her.
“I’ll drive you.”
It was getting dark, and even for soone trained in martial arts, it was unsafe, a girl should always be extra cautious when outside.
“Brother, don’t bother, you have work tomorrow, I’ll drive myself.”
“No argunts, let’s go.”
Mario insisted and followed her out. Kiara wanted to go as well, but Camden pushed her back in.
After several hours on the road, her presence wouldn’t be of much help.
Giorno watched Olivia leave, anxious.
He knew Olivia’s personality; if she didn’t want him to follow and he did, she might really kick him back—wheelchair and all.
But sothing seed off, what was it?
Mother Yuno, who had already hung up the phone, noticed the worried Giorno and Kiara remaining at ho, and offered so reassurance.
“Giorno, don’t worry. I’ve asked thoroughly, and it’s truly not serious. Olivia is just going back to comfort her father. Don’t stress over it.”
Giorno felt an indescribable feeling, constantly worried for Olivia, and he turned to Kiara.
“Olivia’s mood has been bad these past days, I think it has to do with my injury, and now her father is ill. I worry she won’t be able to control her emotions well.” Giorno, having studied Olivia’s character, knew she was very straightforward and prone to emotional reactions. Now was a low point in her life; the consecutive events were draining her energy. At such a mont, Giorno didn’t want to be absent.
“There won’t be any problems, Olivia isn’t a child anymore, she should be fine. Don’t worry.”
Kiara’s words didn’t soothe Giorno; they only made him more restless.
Mother Yuno prepared so simple dishes for dinner as it was pitch dark. The night sky was like splattered ink. Having gone without food all day, they were hungry.
Giorno couldn’t eat, he just went through the motions and pondered where Olivia might be, if she was nearly ho, wondering whether to call her or not.
Kiara volunteered to do the dishes, while Mother Yuno sat with Giorno, chatting. Giorno’s phone rang.
“Olivia! Where are you?” Giorno picked up the phone in a hurry, asking with urgency.
“Daniel Johnson ‘Wealthy and Honorable’, Cloud-Lenghtened Johnson.”
Huh, why so formal? Giorno was startled.
“I’ve thought it through carefully, our personalities don’t match, let’s not et for a while.”
“What?” Was he hearing things?
“I said, let’s not et for a while! You can consider a backup plan, a spare tire while you search for sothing better, ‘no promise of return’!”
Olivia seed to lose control of her emotions, and after speaking, she hung up the phone.
When Giorno tried calling back, the phone was already switched off.
His heart was on fire, not because of the nonsensical things she said, but because he could tell that Olivia had been crying.
Kiara had just finished washing dishes when she heard Mother Yuno’s anxious voice.
“Giorno! You shouldn’t be moving around with that leg!”
Upon looking, Kiara saw Giorno was shuffling towards the door in his wheelchair.
“I have to go check on her, no, I can’t set my mind at ease!”
“What’s going on?” Kiara had not heard clearly while scrubbing dishes.
“Sothing must have happened to Olivia Brown, I have to go there; it feels like she’s lost control of her emotions,” Giorno said anxiously.
Without so incident, why would she suddenly co out with ‘no promise of return’ and a wish to not et for a while?
Their relationship had been so good up until now, and there had never been any fundantal problems. If she was saying these things now, sothing must have happened for sure.
Kiara listened to the whole story and frowned.
“Wait, I’ll give Camden a call and see what exactly happened,” she said.
At that mont, Mario Yuno had already parked the car, and Olivia Brown, with tears in her eyes, had rushed into the house, crying all the way ho.
Camden was about to update Kiara on the situation when her call ca through.
“What happened? What upset her?” Kiara cut straight to the chase.
“She had been silent since getting into the car, until her phone rang. I heard her say ‘Master,’ and then there was no more sound; she quietly listened to soone on the other side and shed tears. Before I could ask what was wrong, she made a call to Giorno.”
The whole incident happened so suddenly that Mario Yuno didn’t have ti to stop her; the current Olivia Brown was like gunpowder—just a touch of Fire and she would explode.
“Master… damn it!” Kiara cursed softly.
That old superstition, it was her again!!!
“Why did her master tell Olivia Brown to break up with Giorno?”
Even though it wasn’t explicitly stated, with ‘no promise of return’ and ‘looking for sothing better’ being ntioned, wasn’t that just the way to express reluctance to break up yet feeling obliged to?
Mario Yuno couldn’t understand. At a ti when the whole family was blessing Olivia Brown’s relationship, why would soone intentionally cause trouble?
“Although I don’t know the specific reason, she probably ntioned that sa old set of feudal superstitious nonsense. My regards to her Uncle!” Kiara was so mad she was swearing.
“Her Uncle is our Father, so please spare our Father….” Camden said in annoyance. Was his wife losing it in her anger?
“Just wait, we’ll be right over.”
“Can you drive all this way?” Mario Yuno was feeling a bit regretful. Why hadn’t he brought Kiara along in the first place? Now she had to make the long trip.
“Don’t underestimate , just you wait!”
