Chapter 470
The elevator ruse slowly.
Zion stood quietly beside Winter. No one in the elevator spoke.
Winter stood as still as a statue. She didn’t look at the floor numbers, and her eyes seemed unfocused.
Zion had noticed it yesterday. After seeing Richie and returning to her room, Winter had started eating on her own, but she still the same as she had been these past few days. She barely spoke.
Early that morning, he had accidentally seen her leaning by the window with empty eyes, picking at the cut on her wrist wi her fingertips. When she noticed him, she simply turned away as if nothing had happened.
It left him worried and heartbroken.
What would it take for the old her to come back?
The one who used to joke with him and play games with him.
At that thought, Zion turned and glanced at Gavin.
Directly or indirectly, Chris had everything to do with what had happened to her.
And Gavin was Chris’s right-hand man.
Before, Zion could at least call Gavin a big idiot to blow off some steam/Now, he didn’t even dare think it. In front of G, he couldn’t even enjoy a little private trash talk.
Gavin met his pointed stare without expression.
Even when the elevator arrived, Zion was still looking at him with those resentful eyes.
So Gavin lifted his leg and gave him a kick.
“We’re here p>
“G, you…” Zion sucked in a breath, but he did not dare fight back. Grimacing, he held the elevator door and followed Winter of
After stepping out, he glanced back and noticed that Olivia beside Gavin had been staring at Winter.
When she sensed his gaze, she looked away as if nothing had happened.
Zion frowned, feeling vaguely puzzled.
But when he looked again, the elevator doors were already closing, blocking Olivia from view. He had no choice but to look away
Inside the elevator, Olivia watched the doors close. Her gaze tell on the broad hand pressing the elevator button, a hand covered in scars of all sizes.
She lifted her eyes and looked at Gavin’s cold, stern face in confusion
Too much time had passed Ten years
But she still remembered this man from the border back then. He had been badly wounded at the time, and Chris had hidden him in the tower on the island. But by the next day, he had disappeared
She had never expected him to become Chris’s subordinate
Gavin released the elevator button and said coldly, “Dr. Carter, while you’re at the hospital, just focus on your work ”
“What did I do?” Olivia asked, confused.

She was wearing a mask, and the eyes above it looked gentle and calin.
“Why were you staring at Winter just now?” Gavin lowered his gaze. His dark brown eyes held no warmth.
So that was what this was about.
Olivia said meaningfully, “I was only curious about what kind of person she is. Are you telling me this because you want to warn me not to say anything I shouldn’t p>
“No,” Gavin answered without hesitation. “I’m telling you because she hasn’t been in a good place emotionally. Unless it’s necessary, don’t talk to her.
“As for the warning you mentioned p>
He paused.
“Ten years ago, you and Mr. Xander were only working together. There’s nothing that can’t be said p>
Olivia froze for a moment. Then her eyes curved slightly with a smile.
The elevator doors opened again beside her.
“I’ll take you only this far. Dr. Lucas is waiting for you in his office p>
Olivia came back to herself and stepped out of the elevator.
After watching her leave, Gavin was about to go back downstairs.
But when he looked up, he saw Winter standing at the other end of the hallway, speaking to a man.
