Spoiling the Obsessed

Chapter 51: Give Me One More Chance

Olivia looked at Damien with a hint of sadness in her heart. She quickly blew on the wound on his hand, sprinkled it with an anti-inflammatory solution, and wrapped it in a clean bandage before saying,

"Damien, you belong to me too."

Damien looked at her quizzically.

Olivia gazed into his beautiful eyes and said seriously,

"So your body is mine too. Don't get hurt again, it would make me very sad."

Damien's eyes suddenly narrowed.

He recalled a scene from many years ago when the young Olivia, dressed in a pretty princess gown, had walked up to him. At that time, he had just finished fighting and was covered in injuries, even his eyes were swollen. When she approached him, he felt ashamed and aggressive, lashing out,

"Go away!"

But Olivia didn't leave. Instead, she ran closer, as if trying to get a better look at the injuries on his face. Damien struggled to hold back his rising anger, picking up a stone and pretending to throw it at her. Yet the little girl just smiled,

"Damien won't hurt me, I'm not afraid!"

He was 8 years old then, and she was only 4. His fierce appearance frightened even adults, but the little girl showed no fear, facing his rage head-on and looking up at him,

"Damien, you're hurt. I'll call the doctor to help you!"

He dropped the stone awkwardly, "It's none of your business, I'm not in pain!"

But the little girl said softly, "But Liv would be very sad."

That day, he ultimately didn't call the doctor. Instead, Olivia found alcohol and medicine to treat his wounds clumsily with her chubby little hands.

......

Sixteen years had passed in the blink of an eye. He heard those same words again from Olivia's lips. Yet he also remembered that she had said she loved Evan Nolan.

For the past two years, Evan was the only one in her eyes!

Just as Damien had fought bloodily to finally climb to that coveted position in the Thorn family, finally able to protect her, her heart had long been occupied by someone else!

Damien's eyes flickered with complex emotions before he finally murmured, "Okay."

Having received Damien's promise, Olivia finally smiled, "Since Dami said so, no taking it back! You're not allowed to take those drugs anymore! I'll work hard to become stronger too, so I can protect you then!"

She would research thoroughly to find a way to resolve the effects of those drugs on Damien. She couldn't just watch him wither away at a young age!

So Olivia didn't notice Damien's hands tremble slightly. He was twenty-four, having never experienced being protected before...

Could he really hope for it this time?

----

During the morning, Martin brought in some documents that needed Damien's signature.

Olivia frowned, "Martin, shouldn't he rest since he's injured?"

Martin replied, "Mr. Thorn has always worked like this, so..."

But the next moment, the man leaning against the headboard putting his injured hand down and said, "Martin, I need to rest now."

Martin was dumbfounded. Previously, the first thing Damien would do after waking from surgery was about work. Yet now he was suddenly not working?

He got his answer a second later—

After the documents were taken away, Damien looked at Olivia, saying proudly, "Liv, I'm taking good care of my body."

Seeing Damien's obedient and adorable demeanor, it was hard to believe this was the decisive and ruthless CEO viewed as such by Thorn Group's tens of thousands of employees? The notorious violent madman of Empire City?

So obedient, utterly unlike his usual conduct!

Martin wanted to observe his boss's unusual side further, but was met with Damien's icy glare and quickly made himself scarce.

The room fell quiet again. Olivia leaned close to Damien, kissing the corner of his lips, "Dami's being so good, this is your reward."

Damien frowned slightly, "There were six documents in total."

Olivia looked puzzled for a moment before realizing. She happily smiled again, moving closer to kiss Damien's forehead, both eyes, other corner of his lips, and chin—five places in total.

"One kiss per document," she said, her eyes sparkling merrily.

Damien felt unsatisfied, thinking he should have Martin bring more documents next time.

As noon approached, Olivia told Damien, "Dami, I need to go out for a bit this afternoon."

Damien had overheard Evan's words earlier. Upon hearing this, his pupils constricted, "No!"

Olivia explained, "Listen, I am going to give a gift, but it's a special one..."

Damien's dark eyes deepened, still displeased, "Olivia, do you not want your legs anymore?"

Olivia gazed into his eyes, "Dami, what you overheard yesterday outside the warehouse, it was all opposite of the truth! I only said that to stall for time and make you leave angrily so you wouldn't inject those drugs! But you still came in..."

She continued, "I'll just be downstairs, probably back in half an hour at most! Dami, tonight at 7, I'll give you a surprise to feel my true heart!"

Knowing Damien didn't believe her, Olivia searched on her phone and showed him something,

"Look, tonight at 7 pm at the Empire City News Center, there's an awards ceremony for the top 10 nationally voted business leaders who will give speeches."

Damien didn't understand why she showed him this, but taking the phone, he noticed Evan Nolan ranked first. Though not as handsome as Damien, among the pot-bellied and balding businessmen, Evan's looks were indeed dazzling.

With Nolan Medical's carefully crafted positive image over the years, Evan's popularity far surpassed the other nine, a veritable celebrity king. Even before this event was promoted, his good looks and charm had attracted many fans - he now had over 20 million Twitter followers, with people calling him "husband" daily.

So there was virtually no suspense - his selection was a foregone conclusion.

In the previous life, he indeed became a national business representative, accompanying leaders to various international conferences. Nolan Medical subsequently grew rapidly due to its international reputation, surpassing Thorn Group's market value during Damien's illness, making Evan the nation's most admired man!

But who knew what ugliness lurked beneath that gentlemanly exterior!

Resentment surged in Olivia's eyes.

This life, she would tear away this hypocrite's mask piece by piece, exposing his true face to all!

Olivia curled her lips in a cold smirk, "Dami, at 7 pm, let's watch together. You'll definitely be happy then."

She gazed into his eyes, "Give me one more chance to prove myself. If I disappoint you, then you can punish me by making me stay by your side for life!"
