Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 58

Olivia swept a glance across everybody in the room, then pretended to be unconcerned. “It’s nothing; I was just asking. It wasn’t due to a fluctuation in his emotions and the food he ate seems fine. Perhaps, his blood pressure is simply unstable due to his medical history. Old Man Nolan is getting on in his years. Next time, you should take him out to the yard for a short walk when you’re free.

Olivia chuckled softly. I can’t believe he could tell that I was lying. Thus, she deliberately asked, “What?”

He replied confidently, “There’s something amiss about why my grandpa is unconscious!”

As she worked, she was unhurried, and every needle she inserted was precise.
