Olivia had a plan.
"Wait for his insomnia to kick in, then give him the sedative.” She calculated in her mind and continued,
"You get ready. If I'm going to act in three days, I'll place a red anthurium here. If the mission is
canceled, I'll put a magnolia.” i'll wait for your good news," Undecim responded.
After their brief meeting, they parted ways. Olivia returned to her room to rest. Wayne did not visit her
that night, and she wondered if he had slept.
The next day, she went to the Royal Hospital as usual. Over the past few days, Olivia had gotten along
well with everyone. They had elevated her from Ms. Ophelia to Dr. Ophelia in their address.
Wayne had some time to visit the hospital. He saw Olivia turn sideways and explain medical knowledge
to someone. She patiently compared two similar herbs, and the admiration was evident on the face of a
young medical student who had just joined.
Wayne pondered why he was drawn to a woman who wasn't even strikingly beautiful. Perhaps it was
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇther unique determination and enviable medical skills.
Every time she administered acupuncture to him, Wayne felt an indescribable connection with her.
Olivia sensed his gaze but pretended not to notice and turned away.
Her intuition told her that Wayne's interest in her was more than mere lust. He had feelings for her.
If it were just lust, her struggles would be futile. He would have a hundred ways to get her into bed.
But he had been quieter these past two days. It seemed he did not want to hurt her, which indicated
genuine feelings.
This was the worst-case scenario. Olivia wanted to avoid owing him anything.
Emotions could make people obsessive. Taking the ring would become more complicated if feelings
were involved.
Unexpectedly, people from Arlandia arrived early, causing a bustle even in the Royal Hospital as
everyone prepared for sudden developments.
When Olivia began adding sedatives to Wayne's medication, Grant was puzzled.
"Why the sudden addition?" he asked.
"I heard the president hasn't been sleeping well these nights. I'm trying to add some sedatives to see if
it helps. If not, we'll adjust the dosage," Olivia explained.
Such medication could be addictive if used in excess, so she started with a small dose. Grant agreed
with her approach, unaware that this was bait.
"What's keeping everyone so busy these days?' Olivia inquired.
"It's because the people from Arlandia arrived early, throwing US all into disarray," Grant explained.
"Who from Arlandia came?" Olivia wanted to confirm if it was Ethan. Just then, hurried footsteps
approached.
"Mr. Tanner, something’s happened!"
Grant set down his materials and turned around with a stern expression." What's all the fuss about?'
"Someone fainted at the state banquet while the president was meeting with dignitaries from Arlandia.
You need to check it out! If the problem is with the food, we might have no way to defend ourselves,"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe messenger warned.
Grant's expression changed drastically. This visit from Arlandia was meant to be a gesture of goodwill.
Any conflict could potentially spark a global crisis.
"I'll be right there," Grant said. He then turned back and grabbed Olivia's hand. "Dr. Ophelia, you have
excellent medical skills. Come with me!" "Me?" Olivia was taken aback.
Before she could refuse, Grant dragged her along. The people of Carathia were treating her, a spy, as
a savior.
This wasn't necessarily bad. She could confirm if Ethan had arrived.
Finally, Olivia stepped out of the Royal Hospital.
Without glancing at the castle, she followed Grant unobstructed into the banquet hall.
Wayne was in formal attire that day and showed little reaction to her presence.
The person lying on the floor was still surrounded by people, some of whom Olivia recognized. She
couldn't help the corner of her mouth from twitching.
Grant moved to check on the person, but Olivia stepped forward first.
"Let me do it, Mr. Tanner," she said as she crouched down.
In an unseen corner, she stealthily scratched the man's palm.
