Chapter 293
Olivia stopped crying. She looked at Colin with misty eyes.
She could see her silhouette in his eyes.
There was no smidgen of boyish innocence on his handsome face. He seemed like a mature man.
Now, was there anything else that was holding her back from leaving?
Colin managed to get Jeff out of there. As long as she stayed alive, she could return at any time for revenge.
Ethan’s face crossed her mind, and she shook her head to get it off her mind. “No. But I would like to see my father before we leave. Is that alright?”
“Okay. I’ll make an arrangement for it,” Colin agreed to her request.
Olivia continued tending to his wound. Layer upon layer, she wrapped the bandage around his built body.
She was surprised to discover how many scars were on his body. “Colin, why do you have so many scars?”
He chuckled lightly. “Olivia, I don’t think I’ve ever told you about my family. Do you wanna hear my story?”
“I’m all ears.” She fetched another basin of warm water.
Gently, she wiped the bloodstain off his body.
“My mother passed away when I was young. But I never once said that my father was the cause of her death.
“He’s an abuser. A dangerous one.”
Her hands, which were twisting the wet cloth, halted. She looked sideways at Colin.
He appeared rather mature under the sheen of yellowish light. His body was built, unlike when he was still a boy.
Slightly raising his chin, he chuckled.
His voice was hoarse. “My father’s life is all about money and alcohol. Whenever something bad happened to his business, he would always get home drunk and hit my mother.
“Most of my scars were left by him. My mother had always tolerated it for my sake.
