Billionaire’s Missing Darling

Chapter 232

When Mia came out of the changing room, she acutely sensed that something was not right.

She glanced at the corner of the sofa where someone had left a lighter, looked back at the bathroom, and quickly walked to Olivia.

She said in a low voice, “Olivia, did you say that on purpose for others to hear?”

Olivia tilted her head and glanced at Mia without denying it.

Mia chuckled. “Didn’t you say that you’ve drawn a clear line with them? Why are you still putting in so much effort?”

“I’m just paying the rent.” Olivia lowered her eyes and said casually.

“Pay rent?” Mia did not quite understand.

“Yes.” Olivia nodded. Her voice was slightly cold. “I’ve lived in one place for ten months. I have to pay some rent.”

Mia was even more confused.

However, Olivia was unwilling to say anything else.

After that, Mia started another topic.

She was really curious about how Olivia got to know Athene. Plus, they seemed so close. Furthermore, Olivia only took out a chain and the butler of the Duke’s Mansion suddenly became very respectful to her.

“Olivia.” Mia tilted her head. “Is your family an old friend of the Duke?”

“No.” Olivia shook her head.

No? Mia scratched her head. Other than that, what other reason could

there be?

She recalled that Daniel had previously said that Olivia knew medicine.

Mia suddenly had an idea. Could it be that Olivia had saved the Duke’s life at some point and become his savior?

As soon as this thought appeared, Mia was amused.

She felt that her imagination was too wild. Olivia was so young and majored in biology. How could she have the capability to save the Duke?

When Daniel said Olivia knew medicine, he probably meant that she only knew a little.

Hence, Mia joked, “Olivia, I’m really curious why the people in the Duke’s mansion are so respectful to you. Could it be because you saved the

Duke?”

“That’s right.” Olivia nodded. She even turned to look at Mia with a gaze full of praise. “Mia, you’re so smart to be able to guess that. When I was 16 years old, I saved Duke Devonstern by chance.”

Mia said, “16 years old…”

Such a casual attitude. It felt like Olivia was joking with her!

Although Mia liked Olivia a lot, she also felt that Olivia was bragging too much.

Sixteen years old? She might as well say six years old!

Did Olivia think she was writing a novel? After all, genius doctors at such a young age only appeared in novels.

Mia was a little unhappy. She felt that Olivia was too secretive about everything and refused to say anything, so much so that Olivia even joked to change the topic.

When they returned to the previous room, Duke Devonstern and Daniel were already waiting there.

Seeing Olivia enter, Duke Devonstern was extremely excited. He took a step forward and said, “Olivia, long time no see.”

After exchanging pleasantries, the two of them sat together and began to talk about each other’s situation.

Duke Devonstern was very experienced and thoughtful. Although he spent most of his time talking to Olivia, he did not neglect Mia. Occasionally, he would give her a topic of conversation.

Facing Duke Devonstern, Mia was still a little nervous. She could not be at ease and forced out a joke. “Duke, Olivia said something so funny just. now. She actually said that she knows you because she saved your life.”

Duke Devonstern nodded. “That’s right. Miss Olivia’s medical skills are superb. She did save my life.”

Mia was completely appalled.

What did Duke Devonstern mean? Could it be that what Olivia said before was true and not a joke?

Mia looked at Olivia and then at Duke Devonstern with a blank expression.

Until the banquet ended and they returned to the manor, Mia was still in a daze.

“Olivia.” She licked her lips, finding it hard to believe. “You’re so good at medicine. Why didn’t you say so?”

Olivia sat on the sofa and was reading some documents on Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

biopharmaceuticals.

When she heard this, she said indifferently, “What’s there to say? It’s not a big deal.”

“Not a big deal!”

Olivia said it was not a big deal!

Mia could not take it anymore. She pounced in front of Olivia and half–knelt on the sofa. “You saved Duke Devonstern’s life. I heard from the butler that all the famous doctors in the nearby hospitals could not cure him. Some even asserted that he would not be able to return to the country alive.

“There were so many famous doctors who were helpless against this illness, but as soon as you took on the task, you cured it with a few needles.

“You call that not a big deal?”

Mia could not take it anymore. She just could not take it!

She stood up and jumped around, unable to control the excitement in her heart at all.

Olivia was an incredible doctor, a miracle doctor!

If Mia had such good medical skills, she would definitely brag so much. about it that the entire world would know.

Why did Olivia not do anything and not take it seriously?

Then, she remembered that there was once an opportunity for Olivia to treat her body, but she did not cherish it.

Suddenly, Mia regretted it.

She felt she was so stupid!

Putting aside the matter of medical skills, just the matter of Duke Devonstern alone, if she were the one who saved him and was indebted

to the Duke, she would definitely develop in Gorshire.

Why would she not fully utilize such a huge backer?

Mia asked the question in her heart, “Olivia, why didn’t you come to Gorshire? I heard from Athene that you haven’t even been to the Duke’s Mansion.”

Olivia closed the document and looked at Mia seriously. She said in a puzzled tone, “Why should I? I don’t save people to ask for repayment.” Mia shook her head. “No, that’s not what I meant. I just feel that it’s a pity. With Duke Devonstern as your backer, things might go much more. smoothly.”

Olivia frowned. “Can a Duke be considered a backer?”

Mia was speechless.

What kind of arrogant tone was that? Was Olivia asking for a beating?

Then, Olivia said in a low voice, “My backer is the nation of Hushen.”

Mia smiled. She thought Olivia was joking. “According to what you said, my backer is also my country.”

Olivia curled her lips and did not explain. Instead, she lowered her eyes and continued reading the documents.

Lately, Olivia had been spending more and more time reading. Almost all of her free time was spent reading books. Occasionally, she would write and draw on paper.

Mia was curious in the past and even came over to take a few glances

once.

However, she could not understand what Olivia wrote at all. She felt like he was reading another language or something.

Words like ingredients, molecular formulas, reactions, and synthesis gave her a headache.

“Olivia. You’ve already read several books. What are you doing?” Mia was confused.

Olivia wrote on the paper and said, “I’m perfecting the prescription for the Smith family’s life–saving medicine. There are still some imperfections.”

Oh! Mia nodded and asked, “How long more? When can it be perfected?

She knew that medicine had to be tested and proven continuously. Two

ars was considered little for the development of a new medicine. Some

had even developed it for more than ten years and did not even

have much results.

Mia asked this question because she hoped that Olivia could strike a balance between work and rest. Olivia could do research at any time, but she rarely came to Gorshire, so Mia felt Olivia should go out and have more fun.

Olivia held the tip of the pen and wrote the last stroke on the paper, then said, “It’s done.”

Mia was speechless.

“You’re always so unexpected!” She exclaimed in her heart.
