Olivia's eyes shone with the unclear mist that had appeared with his homecoming.

It disturbed her own messy heart and the current situation was going to be more complicated, this situation already startled her mind.

But she wasn't worried either. If this was how her destiny was written, she would face it with a brighter smile over her lips.

Lowering her eyes at the fruits that were present in her hand, she looked back at the ward's door to ask,

"Is Jennifer Taylor inside?

"

"She is.

"

"Alright. Thank you.

" was all that she spoke before Olivia opened the door with her hand.

Her eyes fell on the lady sitting on the bed while she was in the midst of talking with her friend.

A faint smile appeared on her face which she passed to her,

"Happy to see you back in the state.

" Olivia's words gained Jennifer's attention as well.

She looked at the lady, who was also known to be the secretary of her so-called Fiance.

But only if she had believed the normal saying that this lady was just a secretary? It never made her fool either. However, she knew that Olivia had done no harm to her....at least till now.

"Likewise, Ms. Olivia. Please come and sit with us.

"

Jennifer motioned towards the space beside her and Olivia generously sat by her side. There was the ill-feeling that resided in her heart but that was still not enough as compared to the other thing that she went through.

"Lucas had some work so he asked me to come and meet you today. How are you feeling now?

"

Hearing the soft tone, Jennifer only nodded her head,

"Tell Lucas that there is no need for him to see me right now. I'm not ready..to face him.

"

"I will.

"

Olivia somehow knew that Jennifer was very well known that how close Olivia is with Lucas. Their bond was undefined in the eyes of the people, but that never hindered her status.

"Jennifer....

"

Olivia placed her hand on Jenifer's hand as she pressed it with a warm gaze that was lingering₹, her face,

"I know....this will be difficult. But don't be so upset. Everything will fall into place when you get married to Lucas.

"

To this comment, Jennifer didn't react even once. Her lips were sealed into a straight line, as she lowered her eyes,

"As if..you will let me marry your man?

" Jennifer muttered in her low voice, unable for anyone to hear.

The lack of repose in the environment around them is very awkward. It was risky, but at the same time, it was somewhere dangerous as well.

"You will..overcome everything..

"

"I will and soon, I hope so. I lost my husband, it will be painful. And how can you not know how it feels to lose your loved one?

" Jennifer intentionally said by the look on her face never changed.

She was only sympathetic in her tone, making Olivia hard to guess if Jennifer had sensed something in between her or Lucas.... or Austin?

The smile on her face froze. Olivia had to gather a lot of courage to not react at this point, in the hope of not exposing her real front,

"Y-yeah...but that kidnapper wasn't good for you. Lucas will keep you happy...

"

Happy?

A scoff left Jennifer's lips after she felt such irony was this. This lady was going to witness the man she **s, marry her. And she is actually here to say that he will keep her happy? It was unusual to hear from someone like her...

A lady...who was established in her career path, who can have anyone out in her life.

Jennifer always found this to be unusual. Was there no love involved from Olivia's side ever? This was a confusing task which she needed to resolve very soon as well.

Olivia had still been able to maintain the smile on her face. Despite knowing that Jennifer might find this to be absolutely bluff, she had to say this.

After all, this lady had a special identity, and marrying her had an inferior motive, that of Lucas as well as hers.

And she will not give up so easily either.

After all, in this world, she will have to think about herself on her very own.

When Olivia felt the hostility from Jennifer, she could still understand the same. She lost her husband, because of Lucas and she is here today on the behalf of the same man.

She will gradually lose her grudge, and they all hope for the same.

Soon after, talking for the next few minutes, Olivia managed to escape the room. Closing the door behind her, she sighed in relief as her eyes were closed.

Subconsciously, she brought her hand on her chest to sigh, 'This was intense...she has changed so much!'

This isn't what Olivia is looking forward to either. But all together, this was over for her. She did complete the job that Lucas asked her to do and she could now go back with relief.

However, this is far from the truth. As she turned to her left what Olivia saw was that Austin was still sitting outside the ward month benches.

She had no idea about its intentions either but her heart did skip a beat on seeing him looking so much in a daze by sitting here.

'Why is he now saying here?' Is it because of Jennifer? She could only get this answer out of anything else. After all, there was no denying that he likes her!

But then, Olivia made her back straight ready to walk past him for now.

Yet, this was shattered in the middle when his hands grabbed her wrist from behind,

"Leave my hand, Austin.

" Olivia spoke without facing him.

His tone didn't even change when she told him further,

"We need to talk, Olivia...

"

"There is nothing to talk about...our childhood has already passed long ago...things have changed now..

"
