I’m Someone Else

Chapter 266

Chapter 266

“Hey, Chloe! I’m here!”

When the devastated and ready-to-die Thomas heard Chloe’s yells, he immediately perked up.

At the same time, she saw his tear-stained face and hugged him tightly. “Thomas, how could those people be so mean? My mom has been dead for years, so why did they want to steal her ashes? Can’t they just come at me if they have anything against her? I can’t take it. I… I just want my mom to rest in peace!”

Her words resembled a mountain weighing on Thomas’ heart. This is all because of me. If I hadn’t offended the three great families, her mom’s ashes wouldn’t have been stolen.

If Chloe was sad, he was thousands of times more devastated than her!

“I’ve let my mom down. Zachary still doesn’t know about this. He will blame me too if he finds out. I failed to take care of Mom!” Her tears poured like rain. She could not remember how many times she had cried like this. It seemed like crying had become natural for the past two days, just like breathing.

After hearing what she said, Thomas felt extremely depressed. He did not know what to say and could only raise one finger to tap on several acupoints on her body, making her fall asleep. If he let her cry any longer, she might go blind.

“Phew!”

Wiping away the tears, he rose to his feet and violently shook his head, forcing himself to forget those thoughts. Then, he called Olivia. Though it was already midnight, he still had to make sure she was safe.

“Olivia, are you back at Northpine Villa?”

“Thomas?”

An unfamiliar female voice came from the other end. It just happened that Olivia had gone to the bathroom, so Yuna took the call.

“Who are you?” When Thomas heard that voice, he could not care less and immediately ran outside. He had to return to Northpine Villa as quickly as he could! Unknowingly, his voice had turned cold, and even Yuna could feel a bone-chilling tone from the other end of the call.

“Thomas, calm down. I’m not a bad guy; I’m Olivia’s aunt. She went to the bathroom. Oh, she’s back.”

Then, the voice on the other end changed into Olivia’s. “Thomas, I’m back home. My uncle and aunt came for a visit. When are you coming home?”

She knew why Thomas had made this call. He cared about her and was afraid she might encounter any danger. That also meant that she was not wrong about him. No matter how busy he was, he would not forget about her.

As she had expected from the person she wanted to spend the rest of her life with, seeing how much he cared for her, she felt her feelings for him were worth it. At that moment, Olivia’s tone and appearance no longer resembled the Most Beautiful Female Entrepreneur in Irieson. She was now clearly a lovestruck young woman!

Having been in their shoes, Declan and Yuna smiled when they saw how Olivia was behaving!

“It’s great that you’re safe. I might need a while longer. Things here are quite problematic.”

“Okay. You do your work, and don’t worry about me.”

Once Thomas ended the call, he called the two men responsible for protecting Chloe inside the residential area.

“Mr. Clifford, is there anything you need?”

“There won’t be any dangers where I am for the time being. I would like to trouble you to head over to Northpine Villa and protect the people inside Villa No. 66, especially the young woman. You can come back tomorrow morning.”

“Sure. Don’t worry. We’ll head right over there now.”

Thomas still felt worried, even when he knew Declan was with her. He never trusted Declan, whose martial arts skills were too ordinary for him. So many people were waiting to harm Olivia, so it was better to let those two look after her safety.

It was fortunate that he had them to help him. Otherwise, he could not do so much on his own.

Then, Thomas left Chloe’s bedroom. Since he had massaged her sleep acupoints, it meant she would be asleep for about an hour. He could take the time to cook something for her because he had heard from Adam that she had not eaten anything the whole day.

Meanwhile, Adam was sitting on the couch in a daze. When he saw Thomas, he asked, “Is she alright?”

Thomas nodded. “Don’t worry. She’s fine.”

Only he knew he had to retrieve her mom’s ashes in one piece to restore Chole to her old self.

Since Adam asked, Thomas could only kindly comfort him and not let him feel anxious as well.

“That’s good to hear!” Adam sighed before getting up and stumbling his way toward his bedroom. At that moment, he seemed to have aged ten years.

On the other hand, Thomas entered the kitchen to cook something for Chloe and make her have some after she woke up. She might get sick if she continued to starve herself.

Meanwhile, at Northpine Villa, Declan and his wife were still there. Since Thomas had yet to return, they were afraid Olivia might feel scared if they left her alone, so they decided to stay and keep her company.

As for Olivia, she was leaning on the side of the couch, smiling like a fool while looking at her phone.

Yuna was curious when she saw that scene and wondered if Olivia was possessed. Otherwise, why was she smiling at her phone in the middle of the night? Quietly inching over, she peeked at Olivia’s phone and saw that she was not smiling at her phone but at the picture on her screen. It was a photo of a man with great stature! Without giving it much thought, Yuna knew it had to be Thomas!

“Silly girl, stop smiling like a fool and have some water,” Yuna teased with a smile. “Declan, go and grab a glass of water for Olivia.” She’s been smiling nonstop for over an hour, but thinking about it, I wasn’t any better than her when I was dating Declan.

“Hehe!” Olivia seemed embarrassed and received the glass from Declan and drank from it.

“Hey, what’s this?” He saw a letter on the coffee table when he placed the jug of water.

“Huh?” She also noticed it and picked it up to take a closer look.

‘To Thomas!’ Those were the words written on the envelope. Unmistakably, it was a letter for Thomas.

The three looked at each other, who did not even notice that letter until they moved the jug. Who knew when they would discover it?

Olivia felt hesitant. Should I open it? Would Thomas be angry if I did? But what if it’s something important? Wouldn’t that delay him even more? Two minutes later, she made a decision. Open it! Then,

without saying anything else, she unsealed the letter.
