"Mom, she didn't explain the whole picture. She was divorced a long time ago."
Jade pulled Wayne's ear.
"Didn't you notice that she doesn't have any feelings for you? Whether she has children or if she is married or not, those are all excuses.
"Be honest. Did you kidnap her?"
Unable to hold it in anymore, Olivia laughed. She never expected Wayne, who didn't seem to fear anything, to be scared of someone.
"Mom, let go!"
"Darling, tell me. Did he threaten you to come here? I'll teach him a lesson."
Olivia smiled. She knew that Wayne was only behaving respectfully toward Jade.
Even if Jade knew the truth, she would only lecture Wayne a little.
Also, judging by Wayne's personality, if he listened to Jade, he wouldn't have brought Olivia home without warning.
This meant that they were in cahoots with each other, and Jade also wanted Wayne to get a wife.
However, Jade was just secretly feeling glad on the inside. She wouldn't actually help Wayne out.
Olivia was nice enough to play along.
She shook her head, saying, "Oh, no. Mr. Maxwell knows that I'm skilled at medicine, so he asked me to come and give you a quick checkup."
Wayne was shocked. He thought that Olivia would tell the truth right away.
Olivia was indeed a smart woman, and Wayne was even more reluctant to let her go now.
Her answer cleared up her connection to Wayne, but she also made sure that Wayne wasn't embarrassed in the process.
Jade was indeed ill. Aside from a simple visit, he had also brought her over to take a look at Jade.
"Really? You don't look that old, but you're a doctor, too?" Jade let go of Wayne.
Even though she didn't have makeup on, she had aged gracefully.
From her contours, Olivia could guess that she had been a beautiful woman when she was younger. Jade also seemed to be an impulsive and impatient person.
Olivia put on a faint smile. "May I know how old you are, Madam Delaney?"
"Me? I'll be 80 tomorrow."
"80? Then you must have taken great care of yourself, Madam Delaney. I thought you're only in your 60s."
"Haha, it's easy for women to avoid aging. Just don't get married and don't have children.
"I've lived a carefree life, much more than anyone else. I just age a little slower than my peers.
"Will there be limitations to the medicine I can take if I'm too old?"
"No, that's not it. What I mean is, if you're in your 30s this year, I would advise you to quit smoking and drinking to treasure your life more.
"But you're not that young anymore, so to me, it's about time you live a carefree life. So, it's not necessary to quit."
"No wonder even that brat believes you. The things you say are much nicer than those quacks."
"Those quacks?"
