Chapter 947

John stiffened and knew something was wrong. Otherwise, she would not have used that interrogative tone. "What's the matter?" "Answer me. Was it you?" Since Olivia asked, John could only nod. "Yes." "Why did you call him here when you knew Xavier was also here? Did you do it on purpose?" John frowned. "Liv, is that how you think of me?" "Answer me." John looked at her. He eventually gave in as the two looked into each other's eyes. "Ian asked me when you were going to be discharged, so I told him the date. I didn't expect him to be here either, let alone expect Xavier to come over." With that said, he touched his forehead and sighed. "As I said before, I don't trust Xavier. Why would I risk Xavier seeing Ian?" Olivia was slightly relieved to hear that. She then asked, "Is Ken on call today?" "Yes." Olivia quickly looked down to find her phone but could not find it. Seeing that she looked nervous, John grabbed her hand. "What's the matter? Is something wrong with Ian?" "Ian found out about Fred." "What? Who told him?" John knew how possessive Ian was about his sister. He would not let it go if he knew someone else called Olivia their sister. He took out his phone and called Ken. As soon as he got through, Olivia grabbed his phone. "Ken, help me stop Ian. Don't let him find out Fred is there." Fred was still recovering from his wounds and needed rest. He did not have the energy to argue with Ian. What if... What if Ian lost his temper and hurt Fred? She would die of guilt. Ken, on the other end of the line, looked like he just woken up. "Huh? What? Is dinner ready?" Olivia was so panicked. "Where are you? Aren't you in the hospital?" "Hospital?" Ken probably did not realize it until then. "No, I was up all night doing surgery last night, so I didn't go to the hospital today. What's the matter? Aren't you discharged from the hospital today?" "Not me! It's Fred... No, it's Ian! Do you have anyone reliable at the hospital who can..." Before Olivia could finish speaking, John grabbed the phone. "You're not needed." Then he hung up. "I'll have Wes go over." "Go to Lucas Hospital, keep the word of Fred's hospitalization from getting out, stop Ian, and take him to Ken's." "Yes." After hanging up, John looked at Olivia. "It's okay. Don't worry. Ian's not a kid anymore. He'll understand. Leave it to me." Olivia frowned deeply, covered her face in her hands, and shook her head. "It's my fault. I should have explained it to him earlier. And this wouldn't have happened." John took her into his arms and comforted her gently, "You're right. He would have just caused trouble if we told him." With that said, he gently wiped her tears. "Olivia, you don't have to consider everything for him, okay?" "He's my brother!" John's eyes darkened slightly as he said hoarsely, "He's your brother, but it's not worth it for you to do so much, and he shouldn't hurt you like this." 'You're not even biological siblings. You've done the best you can.' However, John could not tell her that after all. Olivia liked Ian so much. If he told her this, she would be the one to get hurt. John did not want to upset her, so he would keep it a secret forever. Suddenly, he thought of something. "By the way, how did Ian find out Fred is your brother?" Olivia snuffled. "Xavier just blurted it out at the door." 'Xavier?' John narrowed his long narrow eyes. He had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
