Heaven knew that he had only meant it as a reminder. She had helped him, so he wanted to remind her to watch out for her safety and not to simply bring strangers home.
However, because Sam did not explain himself, Olivia got upset when she heard his words; her smile faded as she stared at Sam coldly.
"Mr. Sorrento, do you mean to say that I'm a busybody?"
Sam was taken aback.
"Because I nosily brought you home, and now you owe me a favor, so you're unhappy, aren't you?" Olivia looked at Sam angrily.
As expected, men were heartless.
Especially one who was a lovelorn!
If Olivia had known that he would react like this, she would not have brought him back.
Sam stammered. "That's not what I meant."
Olivia said angrily, "If that's not what you meant, then what did you mean? Didn't you just say that I'd better not get myself involved in such things in the future?" "Yes." Sam nodded. He looked and sounded helpless. "I did say that, but... what I meant to say is that, other than today, it'd be best if you don't care about things like this in the future."
"Why?!" Olivia was still angry. She still hadn't figured it out yet.
Sam remained silent.
How could this girl be so obtuse? She was giving him a headache. But he was in her home, and he owed her a favor, so Sam explained patiently, "What if the person you brought home is dangerous? You live alone. It's dangerous to bring a man home."
Hearing that, she finally understood what he meant.
"So you're saying, apart from you, all men are dangerous?"
"I mean, strange men can be very dangerous, including myself. So you'd better be aware in the future," Sam replied.
Seeing that he was worried about her, Olivia's anger instantly subsided. She snorted arrogantly.
"So, you're concerned about me. I guess you still have a conscience. Do you know how tiring it is for me to bring you home from the bar? Looks like my efforts weren't for nothing." Olivia quickly added, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid. I only helped you because I knew you weren't a bad person."
Sam wanted to say more, but he coughed a few times as soon as he opened his mouth. "I'll pour you a glass of water," Olivia said as she got up.
She cried out in pain and fell back down.
Sam frowned. "What's wrong?"
Olivia looked at her legs and then looked up at Sam. "My legs are... numb."
She had stayed in the same position for an entire night. How could she not be numb? Olivia helplessly reached out to gently massage her legs. Sadly she could feel pain and numbness in her legs when she moved, so she didn't dare do anything drastic.
Seeing her action, Sam thought he should help as he was the reason her legs were numb. But her legs... After some thought, Sam got up and walked to her side. "I'll help you."
Hearing his words, Olivia thought he wanted to massage her calves. She immediately declined. "No need, it's alright! You..."
Before she could finish her words, Sam picked her up. Olivia looked at him in shock. She subconsciously grabbed his clothes, and her eyes were wide open.
