Chapter 292

Despite knowing that Colin had made comprehensive arrangements, Olivia contacted a few people for help.

However, something unexpected happened when they were moving Jeff.

When it was tfor Olivia and Colin to meet up, he hadn’t returned.

It was a starless night. But the yard hadn’t lost its wholesatmosphere.

Cherry blossoms were dancing under the dim light.

Olivia made a wind chand hung it on a tree branch.

The fragments struck each other along the wind. The continuous tinkle made her anxious.

She was worried about Colin.

As the wind chcontinued to clack, the wind blew it off the branch.

The sound it made when it fell onto the ground elicited uneasiness.

Before Olivia could pick it up, someone stood next to it.

Colin picked it up and flashed her a bright smile. “Olivia, I’m back.”

She ran toward him anxiously. “Colin, are you alright?”

He nodded and played with the wind chime. “What could’ve possibly happened towhen you’re worried sick for me?

“There was strouble, but I managed to take Mr. Fordham away. I took him to a safe place.

“That’s why it tookso long. Sorry for making you worried.”

Olivia heaved a sigh of relief. “What trouble?”

“Aside from us, there are a few arrogant men shooting guns at innocent people. Ethan’s men came too.”

She felt a sheen of chill behind her. “It must be her.

“She’s trying to use my father to lureout! Were you hurt?”

Colin recalled how those men were killed and how their blood splashed against the walls.

He put on an innocent smile. “It was a mess. I was trying to keep Mr. Fordham safe, so I wasn’t in a state of mind to mind those people.

“Fortunately, I hired smercenaries this time. Plus, your men killed the enemies and secured a way out for us. I almost lost my life there.”

Noticing that he shrunk his shoulders unnaturally, she stepped forward. “Were you hurt?”

“No, I’m not. Don’t worry.”

“Colin!” She placed her hands on her waist.

She could already smell blood, and the smell was strong.

Olivia bypassed him to check on his back. His white jacket was stained with blood!

“You’re bleeding!”

“It’s nothing serious. It’s a minor injury. I must’ve not bandaged it well because I was rushing. I-”

“Cwith me!” She grabbed his hand, pulling him into the house.

A faint smile appeared across his lips when they entered the house. But she didn’t notice that.

Olivia quickly grabbed a first-aid kit before lifting his shirt.

Colin had roughly bandaged his wound after tearing a piece of cloth from his shirt.

Looking at the appalling wound, she scolded, “It’s such a long wound! How did you get that? Why didn’t you say anything?”

He stuck his tongue out sheepishly. “Someone must’ve hurtwhen I was trying to protect Mr. Fordham on our way out. Look. I’m perfectly fine.”

Tears trickled onto his back, prompting him to look back at her.

Olivia wiped her tears off clumsily but bandaged his wound with skilled hands.

“Sorry for dragging you into this mess, Colin. You’re hurt because of me.”

She regretted her decision. She didn’t want him to get into the madwoman’s bad books.

“Olivia, I was hurt because I was careless. It had nothing to do with you. Don’t cry. I’m young and strong.

“A few cuts won’t hurt. It’s fine as long as Mr. Fordham is safe. It’ll heal in no time. I’m fine.”

He turned around and caressed her tear-stricken face.

He said seriously, “Now that I’ve saved Mr. Fordham, there’s nothing else holding you back from leaving Aldenvine with me, is there?”
