Chapter 46
Oliver was instantly shocked as if his soul had left his body. His face was covered with cold sweat!
Sienna looked at Oliver. Seeing his pale face and sweaty forehead, her face instantly darkened. She
muttered coldly, “Oliver, it’s already come to this. I thought about making do with it and marrying you,
but look at you! What’s the meaning of this? You seem so scared. Do you intend to shirk responsibility,
or are you looking down on me?”
Stunned, Oliver quickly shook his head. “No, it’s not like that, S… Ms. Kaiserman, I’m worried about…”
Oliver was only halfway through his statement when his eyes reddened. He was speaking in a
somewhat choked voice.
Sienna was surprised. She stopped and asked, “What do you mean? Be a man and say what you
want. Don’t tell me that I, a pure and innocent woman who encountered something like this, is actually
better off than you?”
Oliver shook his head again. “No, I didn’t mean that… I mean, you’ve also been cursed by that
eyeball!”
Sienna froze. She was about to say something when her phone rang. She fished it out and looked at it
before answering the call, “Well… Dead? Okay, I see!”
After hanging up the phone, she said to Oliver, “The suspect in the hospital died. My colleague called
me to inform me that the suspect had just breathed his last
Oliver’s face turned pale again. He felt extremely unbearable as if his heart had been cut by a knife.
After a moment spent in a daze, he suddenly said to Sienna, “Quick! Get your colleague in the hospital
to take a photo of the dead suspect’s back!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“A photo of his back?” Sienna found the idea quite odd, but she knew Oliver must have his reasons, so
she called her colleague again.
A few minutes later, Sienna’s phone rang.
It was a text message.
Sienna clicked on it and saw a close-up photo of the man’s back.
In the middle of the back, there was a conspicuous pattern that resembled a pair of glasses. It seemed
to be a tattoo, but it was in a darker shade of red.
Oliver did not know w what to say. He felt like his heart had fallen into a bottomless abyss.
Sienna glanced at Oliver and noticed that he was in a daze. She coughed gently and softened her tone
as she said, “Oliver, identifying the evidence is just an excuse to get you here. Mainly, I want to talk to
you about…. this. I thought about it last night and after much deliberation… Um, why don’t we just…”
As she spoke, Sienna could not hide her shyness. “Why don’t we just… arrange for our parents to meet
and talk this over. Once they come to a consensus, we can choose a date and get married!”
“Get m-married?” Oliver could not help but stammer!
Sienna went on huffily, “If we don’t do that soon, how do you expect me to show up in public with a
pregnant belly?”
Oliver’s brain seemed to have suddenly turned into mush. It was not that he did not want to get
married. It was not that he had any ill feelings for Sienna.
Bering
To be honest, a beautiful girl was now cornering him to tie the knot. Something like this happening was
quite unlikely. He did not hate it.
But he had always been looked down upon by others. He was the one who always got dumped, so
much so that he felt he would not have any luck with marriage at all. So, when the request came out of
nowhere, for a moment he did not know how to react.
Seeing how Oliver just stayed there, not answering her, Sienna expressed her annoyance. She raised
her eyebrows and said, “Oliver, what’s the meaning of this? “If you don’t agree with me, just tell me. I
won’t pester you. Bah, whatever! I will raise the kid myself!”
“No, no!” Oliver waved his hands in a panic. “S-Sienna, I promise. I promise you. B-But…”
“That’s enough. But what?” Sienna panicked even more. “Stop that! You’re making me anxious.”
For no reason, Oliver suddenly embraced Sienna. In between sobs, he said, “Sienna, I’ll save you. I’ll
save you and your child!”
Although he did not have much affection for Sienna, she was a police officer. She was a good person
with a carefree personality. Amid the confusion, he actually had a child with her. This was Oliver’s child!
Tenderness arose within Sienna. Oliver was her classmate Joanna’s brother. She recently got wind that
though Oliver did not come from a rich family, he was a virtuous man.
The blind date had not gone well, mainly because she was quite resistant to it and did not want to
spend her energy on these things.
Yet, she was the one who had been drinking uncontrollably and gotten herself drunk. Oliver was a
considerably honest man, and she was pregnant with his child. The child deserved a father.
Oliver, in between sobs, had said that he would save her and the child. What did he mean by that?
Sienna pushed Oliver away and glared at him. “Oliver, what do you mean? Are you telling me that you
also believe in the Blood Malediction?”
Oliver took out his phone, pulled up the photo of her back, and said in a trembling voice, “Sienna, this…
isn’t fake. The eye-like pattern on your vest is proof. When it turns dark red by the ninetieth day,
then…”
Sienna looked at the picture on the phone and muttered, “Is this… really the pattern on my back?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOliver nodded as he said, “Yes. The deaths of the two suspect’s can prove it. Ask your colleague,
Charles, if he has this pattern on his back. If there is one, then we have a confirmation. If there isn’t
one, then we can say it’s a coincidence…”
Sienna, shocked, pondered for a while before she picked up her phone and called Charles.
“Charles, where are you? If there’s anyone next to you, ask them to take a photo of your back for me.
Remember, take off your clothes and take a picture of your bare back. Hurry up!”
In less than a minute, the phone rang.
Sienna clicked on the message. It was a photo of someone’s back.
Oliver stretched his neck, waiting for his turn to look at the photo. There was an obvious eye-like
pattern on the bare back, but its color was of a lighter shade.
Oliver’s heart hurt again. Could this still be considered a coincidence?
Sienna was also dumbfounded. Then, she turned to Oliver and asked, “Do you think… this so-called
Blood Malediction is what they say it is?”
Depressed, Oliver said, “Some things can’t be explained by science, but… you have to admit that it will
really happen. Sienna. I-I’ll find a way!”
Sienna laughed out of the blue. “Okay, Oliver. I don’t believe this kind of thing. Tomorrow, I will go to the
hospital for an examination. Medical technology is so developed now; I don’t believe in unscientific
matters. As long as you… don’t deny that you’re the child’s father’s fault, everything else will be fine.
Well, let’s not waste time. We shall go home and tell our respective families that tonight we’re reserving
a table at a restaurant for all of us to meet. As long as they don’t have any issues, we’ll decide on a
date that’s not too far away to get married. Hopefully… we can get it all done within a month!”
Oliver could not help but be shocked by her pressing need to get married within a month.
In a huff, Sienna knocked on his head again and barked, “You may not be anxious, but I am! I don’t
intend to make a fool of myself while pregnant. At the end of the day, it’s all your fault!”
