Chapter 574: Chapter 553: Mr. Situ, Sleazy and Scheming

The more she spoke, the more fiercely Julia Harrison’s tears streamed down, unstoppable like a string of broken beads. Heaven knows how anxious she had been during this period, especially since the prophecy suggested that a bloody disaster was imminent!

She was almost on the verge of breakdown, scared that something terrible might happen to him making her unable to see him again. At that moment, she clearly realized how helpless she was. Compared with his life, her quest for family revenge suddenly seemed trivial.

At that moment, she understood that he wasn’t as unforgivable as she imagined. After all, it was their family who were at fault first. The destruction of the Harrison family was just the repayment of an old debt. There was no need to give up their happiness and their child’s growth over this. Therefore, when Ivy Aretha advised her at the temple, she started thinking, if Oliver Thompson could come back alive, and Ivy would bring him back again, perhaps she could truly let go!

But she didn’t expect, before he could return, an accident occurred. And it was this accident that made her realize how deep and patient a seemingly indifferent man’s love could be. So many things - he had done them all for her!

This time, although she almost lost her life and was humiliated, she was grateful to the crazed Amanda Foster. Even if she had died in that cave, she was now aware. At least she knew that her love for the man she had cherished since childhood was worth it!

"Okay, stop crying. How could I bear to leave you and our child alone in this world?"

Oliver Thompson wiped away her tears over and over again, "As long as you can’t bear it, I definitely won’t die!"

Unless he was committed to dying, death wouldn’t come so easily to him!

"You..."

Julia Harrison could hardly find words to say, her eyes fixed directly on the man. Their gaze met, and reflected in each other’s eyes, they were as they had been when they first met many years ago, silently staring at each other, not saying a word.

"Rosella, I love you!"

Finally, it was Oliver Thompson who spoke first.

Julia Harrison nodded gently, "I know!"

"No, you don’t!"

Oliver Thompson looked at her with some emotion, his fingers moving from her eyes to her cheeks, finally resting on her lips. "What I’m saying is, I’ve always loved you. I didn’t fall in love with you just now, I don’t love you just because you love me, I..."

"Stop, weren’t we going to clean up?"

Before Oliver Thompson could finish, his lips were covered by Julia Harrison’s fingers. "Love is not just spoken. Even the most beautiful vows mean nothing if they’re not acted on. So..."

"Okay!" This time, the man didn’t let her finish her sentence. He turned to look at her sincerely, "I promise my wife, love won’t be just lip service, I will take action... I will strive to recover and prove with my actions how much I love you!"

Huh?

It was such a normal sentence, but why did she find his gaze so abnormal?

Especially when he said he would strive to... do it?

Why did it seem to have a hidden meaning, or was her mind just not pure enough?

"Okay, I will wait for you to recover, so don’t be wilful during this period and harm your body!" While speaking, Julia Harrison put the blood diamond wrapped in the handkerchief, which she had taken out from the pocket of his shirt, on the bedside table, "If you continue to mess around this way, I will be really angry, and ignore you!"

"Okay, I got it. If I ruin my health, I won’t be able to love you properly!"

As he spoke, Oliver Thompson watched the woman continuously undressing him without taking his eyes off her, then twisted the towel, carefully avoiding his injuries, cleaning him thoroughly, and helping him put on the comfortable cotton pajamas again. But she wasn’t making a move.

"Dear, you’re not done cleaning me!"

"Huh?" Before Julia Harrison could react, she heard the man pitifully trying to stop her. Thinking something was wrong, she asked, "What’s the matter, is it itching somewhere?"

"No, you only washed my upper body, you didn’t wash my lower body. It’s itching there even more. I haven’t changed my underwear in several days!"

Julia Harrison: "..."

If it wasn’t for the man’s pitiful look, with zero traces of teasing, Julia Harrison would really suspect that he was pretending.

"Wait a moment, I need to get more water!"

Julia Harrison’s gaze instinctively swept towards the man’s lower body, then hurriedly avoided it. Despite her protests, her cheeks embarrassingly reddened again. Even though she had seen it all before, upon hearing the term ’lower body’, she instinctively thought of that part of him. Was she getting lewd?

Watching her rush into the bathroom as if running away, there was a ghostly satisfied smile on Oliver Thompson’s lips. He adjusted his pillow a bit, waiting patiently. After a while, she finally picked up an ample amount of water and walked out of the bathroom with her head down. Even when she reached him, she didn’t lift her head.

Oliver Thompson didn’t rush her, he just watched her without lifting her head, patiently waiting for her to unbuckle his belt. After loitering around for a while, she took out his pajamas and underwear from the cabinet before slowly approaching him. After standing for a bit, she spoke hesitantly: "You... can you really not take off your pants?"

"Yeah, moving hurts the wound. That’s why I haven’t bathed or changed my underwear in so many days!"

The moment she asked, Oliver Thompson decided to play disabled.

If he wasn’t going to play disabled at this moment, when could he?

"Oh!"

Lucas Sandy had come in person to change his bandages and she had personally seen his wounds. Hearing him say this, Julia Harrison naturally didn’t think too much. She truly thought the injury was too severe and he couldn’t move, "Then I’ll be careful!"

Having said that, Julia Harrison rubbed her hands together before cautiously reaching for his belt.

"Click!"

With the familiar sound of the buckle opening, she had effortlessly undone his belt. This was not the first time Julia Harrison had done this. To be precise, she had done this numerous times before. But those times were in the heat of passion when they were both lost in desire. Now, with both of them being this sober, undressing him was making her slightly uncomfortable.

Especially with Oliver Thompson watching her with those smoldering eyes, she was starting to feel overwhelmed.

"Oliver..."

"Yes, what’s wrong?"

As she said this, the man’s voice was noticeably hoarse, tinged with unconscious lust!

"Could you not look at me like that, it feels like, feels like I’m going to do something naughty!"

Oliver Thompson: "..."
