chapter 36 You want to kill my mother

Meryl kept Xavier's instructions in mind. After finishing his work, he went downstairs to see Leah in the design department. At the same time, he would ask Norman to take good care of Leah during this period. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked into the design department, he saw Norman holding a meeting with all designers and assigning new tasks to everyone. Norman specifically mentioned the newcomers and expressed his welcome to them. At the same time, to allow them to integrate into the company faster, he would also assign tasks to the recruits this time. Norman quickly arranged tasks for the veteran designers. Regarding the three newcomers, he coughed twice and looked at Kern. "I have a relatively difficult job here that requires a positive and patient person. A designer with a more trendy and fashionable design style will be responsible for it. The process may be difficult and toilsome. I think among the three of you, the women may not be suitable for this job…" Norman was just about to mention Kern's name and asked him if he wanted to try it when Leah stood up, objecting, "Norman, I think as a designer, both men and women should have the same ability to withstand stress and pressure. Therefore, it's not fair for Kern if this task is assigned to him just because of his gender. Aria bobbed her head, too. "I am willing to accept Mr. Chen's arrangement. You don't have to give us a chance to relax just because we are women." "Norman, this design theme suits me well. If you trust me, can you let me handle it? I will definitely complete the task perfectly!" Leah volunteered confidently. Norman didn't know what to do, but Leah was full of confidence. She talked about her design concept, shared her award-winning works, etc. So, in the end, Norman felt that he had to assign the job to Leah. Meryl clapped his hands and walked in from the outside while Norman was in a dilemma. "Yes! Leah is hard-working, progressive, and a role model among the recruits. Since you are so confident, you will be responsible for this job, Leah. But…” Meryl stated before smiling meaningfully. "I hope you can do as you promise and complete this job perfectly!" "Yes! President Meryl, I will definitely do that." Leah's eyes lit up, not expecting that Meryl would show up. Admiration filled her eyes. She mused, "I knew President Meryl treats me differently from others!" "Of course, since you had just started working, there's a lot of things that you're unaware of, so the task can be slightly more complex. If you encounter any difficulties in the process, you should communicate with your seniors and learn from them. Don't be eager for quick success. Otherwise, you will be punished if your actions adversely affect the company." Meryl spoke with a kind and powerful tone before walking away casually. At that moment, he felt that he was incredibly charming. While fulfilling Xavier's request to keep an eye on Leah, he also warned Leah that if she couldn't finish her task correctly, he would not be responsible for it. Three days later, the equipment Alice sent back from abroad arrived at the hospital. At the same time, Alice also arrived in the country. After getting off the plane, she went directly to the hospital and started arranging the surgery. Meanwhile, Olivia slept until noon. When she got up, she saw the meal prepared by Xavier as usual. The woman proceeded to eat while reading his message. Even though it was a simple message that reminded her to eat on time, it still sent a surge of warmth through her body. Olivia has long forgotten the enjoyment of being cared for after Sofia fell sick. She thought, "Who would have thought that finding myself a last-minute husband would feel so great?" "I'll return late tonight, so there's no need to keep any leftovers for me." Olivia wrote a note before heading out toward the hospital. Under Alice's arrangement, the preliminary work for the operation had been completed, and the operation could begin as soon as Olivia gave her order. Olivia arrived at the hospital an hour early. She wanted to have a good chat with Sofia so that she could relax and be in the best condition for the surgery. Although Sofia didn't state it explicitly, she didn't have high hopes for the surgery's result. Even though Olivia had arranged for people to keep an eye on Sofia's condition in those years that Olivia was away from the country, Sofia had been fed problematic drugs, which had caused significant damage to her body. In addition, those people had repeatedly told Sofia that she didn't have a long time left to live and would die in a few years, so now Sofia had no confidence in recovering from her sickness. Even though Sofia's condition had improved and she looked positive on the outside, internally, Sofia still felt pessimistic about her body condition. She didn't really think she could recover from this. Sofia could maintain a positive attitude because she felt that she would not live much longer, and she wanted to do something for the company and Olivia during her last moments in life. Olivia had just arrived at the hospital and was about to alight from the vehicle when her phone rang. It was a call from the nurse. "Bad news, Ms. Xia! Bad news! Mrs. Xia coughed out blood and has fainted. She has been rushed to the emergency room!" Olivia's face paled, and she nearly crushed the phone in her hand. "Where are you? I'll come over right away." Olivia's voice was incredibly frosty. Olivia rushed to the door of the emergency operating room like a gust of wind and saw Tyrone sitting there with a dark face while the nurse stood aside and fidgeted in circles. When the nurse saw Olivia, she immediately approached her with reddened eyes. "Ms. Xia, you're here. Mrs. Xia… She…” "What's going on?" Olivia asked in a deep voice. "I, I don't know what's going on. She was fine during the checkup this morning. Then, after Mr. Xia and Mrs. Mia came to visit Mrs. Xia…" "Don't talk nonsense. She was clearly still fine when I arrived." Tyrone stood up agitatedly. Olivia glared at Tyrone fiercely. She told the nurse, "Go on." "After Mr. Xia and Mrs. Mia left, Mrs. Xia was slightly upset. But when Mr. Xia retured, Mrs. Xia began puking blood…" Olivia charged over to Tyrone and wrapped her fingers around his neck. "What did you do to my mom?" "You… Olivia. Stop what you are doing! Cough! Why are you trying to kill your dad?" "You wanted to kill my mom!!!" Olivia gritted her teeth and growled. Gloom filled her exquisite face, making her look like a terrifying devil. Tyrone trembled with fright as Olivia continued her grip around his neck and growled at him. He opened his mouth, unable to speak. "You will pay a heavy price for your actions, Tyrone Xia. I swear…" Olivia warned fiercely before pushing Tyrone away. Then, she turned and pushed the door of the operating room open. Dr. Zhang happened to come out just then with a critical illness notice in his hand. Olivia took a look at it and threw it back to him. "My mom doesn't need this. Get out of my way!" Dr. Zhang thought it was just Olivia acting out of grief. He was about to console her when she pushed him aside and ran into the operating room.
