Chapter 3 The Past Between The Two

Olivia's heart started beating double fast under William's intense gaze and query. It made her uncomfortable. She didn't expect that William would turn up at the time when she was about to get married. Did he come back because of her wedding?

She always had difficulty in keeping her emotions together whenever she was with William. He had this intense effect on her that could make her lose herself in only a couple of minutes spent with him. She warned herself not to get influenced by his words. She couldn't anymore afford to lose herself to him.

Olivia thought for a second before answering quietly, "It's my father. His mental state has not been in good conditions for past few years. He keeps remembering something he shouldn't remember. I don't know why and what is wrong with him. Today he had a relapse, so we brought him here. And what about you? Why are you here? You possibly have no reason to be here."

William observed her with pursed lips and a frown.

Of course, there was no need. After all, she had nothing to do with him. He was her ex, and the son of her family's butler.

William looked straight into her eyes, unblinkingly. "I came because of you. You were having your wedding today. I came to attend it. Shouldn't you allow a childhood sweetheart to attend your wedding? It was really unfortunate when Aunt Kaylee asked me to come to this hospital instead of going to your wedding venue."

Childhood sweetheart?

Olivia had hidden the memories of their childhood in the deepest part of her heart. Because whenever she'd remember them, the wound they had left in her heart would be reopened and she couldn't endure that one more time. It was too painful.

She calmed her nerves down before she looked him in the eye. She asked incredulously, "Have you really come back for me? I heard that you have built a very good business abroad. So you want me to believe that, you came back only to attend my wedding, leaving behind your kingdom you have built with great efforts?"

It was true. William was so passionate in the past to build his kingdom abroad on his own, to show off his worth. The main reason of his determination was that she was Robert's daughter. Robert's daughter would never marry a man who worked for others, so William wanted to establish a kingdom on his own. He didn't know what happened with her, but one day she just turned up and broke up with him. He was unprepared and it hurt him a lot, yet he still wanted to build his business. He wanted to prove it to her that she had made a wrong choice. He could be more successful and capable than any other man around her. He wanted her to realize that she made a wrong choice and would regret for the rest of her life.

William said, "Keeping our past in mind, I've come to celebrate your wedding."

She looked away from him before standing up. Since William had come to the hospital, she would take him to see her father. She didn't want to look rude.

Olivia smoothed down her wedding dress before saying, "Since you're already here, you can come see my father. He might feel better after you see him."

William didn't refuse and followed her into the hospital building. He didn't intend to let Olivia know what Robert had said to him before he went abroad. Now that Robert was really sick, he decided to keep the secret.

They took the elevator to the eighth floor. After leaving the elevator, they walked through the corridor and finally arrived at the VIP ward. William looked at the room number and nameplate outside with Robert's name.

Olivia hesitated for a moment. She seemed to want to say something to him, but didn't. Instead, she opened the door and walked in.

William followed her inside. The walls inside were made of imported soft leather. It was safe for the patient. No matter what the patient inside wanted to do, he couldn't hurt himself by banging his head on the wall.
