Chapter 268 Reminiscing their Past
“Come on, we are close friends after all, so you don’t have to be so polite,” George said.
Then, Olivia and George started chatting about their daily life in Mastar. She smiled at George. “Do you still remember the CPR back then, George?”
After thinking about it, he asked, “Which one? I don’t recall that.”
Olivia smiled as she replied, “There was a time Nathan was not doing quite well. He owned loan sharks some money, so they kept chasing after him. After that, he had a habit of running away as soon as someone started chasing him. There was a time when a man picked up his wallet and wanted to give it back to Nathan. While chasing him, he said, ‘Don’t go. Here’s your wallet.’ But Nathan couldn’t understand at that time and thought he was one of the loan sharks. So he ran with all his might, but he suddenly slipped and fell. He was quite smart—he pretended to faint. But when the man reached him and saw that he was still breathing, he immediately bent down to perform a CPR on Nathan. Poor Nate was so shocked that he immediately came back to life, shocking the foreigner.”
With that, everyone burst out laughing. Nathan also couldn’t stop himself from laughing. “I didn’t understand the language back then, so I thought he was chasing me for money.”
George also smiled. “I seem to recall this. When he returned, he was worried that he might be infected by whatever diseases the man had.”
Nathan was unwilling to be the victim alone, so he told a funny story about Olivia as well. “Olivia, what about you? I remember that a local millionaire once confessed to you romantically. He decorated our clinic with roses, balloons, and even carriages. The roses were fresh, the carriage was brand new, and he even had two drones with a couplet hung on them. Perhaps he knew that Olivia is from Criecia, so he wanted to show her something of our language—how touching! But I’m torn between laughing and crying after I saw that. The first line was, I’ll work hard for you, and I’ll cry for you. The second line went, I’m crazy for you, and I’ll knock myself out for you. The central line was, I love you, Olivia!”
With that, a surge of laughter rang in the parlor. After avoiding Olivia’s slap, Nathan continued, “Then, right after Olivia walked out, he hugged her immediately and asked her to marry him passionately. No matter what Olivia said, he did not listen. In the end, she had to punch him to make him calm down. What did he say in the end? He said he’d wait for you forever?”
Olivia giggled. “I’m at the wits end. What else can I do apart from punching him?”
Nathan asked, “How is he doing now? Did he get a girlfriend after that?”
George also smiled. “I have no idea. I’ve not seen him at the clinic after that.”
Everyone was in high spirits when they talked about their past. Then, they brought up the money tree that George had sent Olivia. Nathan laughed out loud. “I knew that you were the one who sent that. Apart from you, there’s no other person who is so generous! Those were real diamonds, man!”
Olivia was embarrassed upon the mention of that. “You don’t say! The next night, I had a dream that the money tree was stolen. I was so shocked that I kept chasing the thief in my dream while I only wore slippers. No matter how hard I ran, I couldn’t catch up to him, and I even lost one of my slippers. When I woke up, I realized that I fell asleep on the couch, and one of my slippers had slipped off.” With that, the group burst out laughing again.
George joined the laughter. “What are you worried about? There’s an anti-theft system installed. Before the thief can steal it, the police would already have arrived! Initially, I planned to just send you some rose tea…”
When they were chatting about the money tree, Melanie couldn’t hear them anymore. So the lavish gift in Olivia’s office was given by this ridiculously-handsome man in front of us.
