Wayne had taken Olivia to the hospital.
Not long after, Olivia's friend Beverly hurried over.
"I knew she'd gone to meet you!" Beverly looked at the pale-faced Olivia, wiping her tears. "She's been back for a while now, and the first thing she wanted to do was meeting you. But the news of your engagement came the very next day. You know her, she's kind-hearted, and once she knew you were getting married, she would never want to bother you... But she also seems to have lost her will to live."
"What do you mean?" Wayne asked Beverly.
"On the day you got engaged, she probably couldn't bear it any longer, she had a bottle of sleeping pills. Luckily, she was found in time..."
Wayne clenched his fists.
"The reason she wanted to see you this time was because she learned that you'd broken off your engagement." Beverly continued, "President Silverman, you might not understand just how much Olivia loves you."
Wayne stayed silent.
A nurse arrived after a short while, asking about the patient's medical history.
"She has severe depression and anxiety, heart disease, and severe anemia..." Beverly rattled off a list, which made the nurse frown.
"No wonder she's so skinny, she's really sick. She needs proper treatment. Has she been receiving any systematic treatment?"
"No..." replied Beverly.
The nurse sighed, shook her head, and left.
Wayne sat there in silence for a long time before finally asking, "Why doesn't she go to the hospital for treatment?"
"Olivia is afraid of hospitals." Beverly looked at Wayne. "But I believe that if President Silverman is with her, she'll get proper treatment."
Wayne instinctively touched his cufflinks, they weren't the ones Rosalynn had given him, one of the pair had been lost at some point.
He thought about when he could get Rosa to give him another pair.
"President Silverman... you don't want to?" Beverly frowned, "do you remember how outstanding Olivia used to be? Why do you think she's become like this? Don't you know? Don't you feel any responsibility?"
"It's not your place to teach me what should I do," Wayne said.
He looked up at Beverly, who shrank back and quickly switched to a softer tone, "I just want Olivia to get better."
Wayne didn't pay her any more attention.
It wasn't long before Olivia woke up.
