The man remained silent for a moment.
"I knocked on the door, but you didn't respond, so I got worried and came in," he explained.
If it weren't for Mr. Simon giving him a large sum of money to protect Olivia, he wouldn't have endured this trouble.
Olivia regained some composure.
Now this man was the only person who could protect her.
"Somebody has been sending me threatening text messages. I suspect they're here in the hospital. Please stay by the door and don't leave!" she trembled as she spoke.
"Threatening text messages?" the man frowned. "Let me see."
But she didn't dare show him the messages.
"I already deleted them!" Olivia replied.
The man fell silent for a moment.
For some reason, he felt she was lying.
There were no messages at all!
She just wanted to use him to gain sympathy from Duke Simon.
"I understand. I'll guard the door. You'll be safe," he said, then left the hospital room.
As soon as he closed the door, a stooped and masked janitor with wrinkled skin passed by, pushing a cleaning cart.
He was just a hospital staff member, nothing noteworthy.
The man stood by the door and replied to Mr. Simon's message, assuring him that Ms. Whaley was safe and he didn't need to worry.
He conveniently omitted the part about the threatening messages.
Simon had sent many people to protect Olivia.
They were all hidden in unnoticed corners of the hospital.
Their mission was to prevent any harm from coming to Olivia from the Silverman couple.
Originally, Simon planned to release her after he returned to the H Country himself.
But upon hearing that Olivia's condition was deteriorating, he couldn't bear it and decided to bring her out earlier.
The night grew darker.
On the other side of Moonlit Lake.
After the cold weather, Rosalynn became somewhat drowsy.
