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 her 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.
