Chapter 774: Chapter 774: Heartache for Daniel Marshall

Later, two planes airdropped a batch of supplies.

At that time, Olivia Jenkins saw Daniel Marshall.

Daniel Marshall and Olivia Jenkins had no time to chat as they led a group to move the supplies.

Only after all the supplies were neatly put away could they rest.

Olivia Jenkins and Valerie Howard immediately served hot meals to them, and they sat on the ground to eat.

Olivia saw that there were several dried bloodstains on Daniel’s hands, but he seemed not to care and didn’t even wince in pain, the wounds had probably not been treated yet.

Unconsciously, Olivia felt a twang of pain in her heart, she felt an inexplicable heartache for Daniel.

Given how hungrily he was eating, she knew Daniel must be starving and probably had been quietly working up until now.

Setting aside some of his other flaws, there was certainly an admirable side to Daniel. He was surely taking the welfare of his fellow villagers to heart and did care about their safety.

He was also enthusiastically helping the locals.

Olivia had noticed that the supplies airdropped were marked as donations from the Marshall Corporation. Clearly, Daniel had been quietly arranging for resources to be delivered to the villagers in time.

In light of their mutual efforts to help the villagers, Olivia temporarily let go of her prejudices and made peace with herself. She no longer gave Daniel a cold shoulder.

After Daniel finished his meal, Olivia brought some disinfectant and medicinal supplies to treat his wounds.

Daniel stared at Olivia unblinkingly with his deep-set eyes, expressing gratitude saying, “Thank you, my dear wife.”

“You should take care of yourself, so that others don’t have to take care of you.”

“Are you worried about me? Do you miss me?”

Olivia looked up, glaring at Daniel, “Instead of thinking about others at this time, I’m grateful to you for saving me. That’s why I’m bandaging your wounds, you don’t need to be moved.”

Daniel didn’t say anything, just suddenly embraced Olivia.

Showing both annoyance and embarrassment, Olivia patted Daniel, “Please restrain yourself, with so many people watching around, this isn’t the appropriate time to display affection.”

“Dear wife, seeing you safe makes me very happy! Every time there’s an aftershock, I worry about you. I pray for your safety.”

“You’ve been busy until now and must be tired, take some rest.” Olivia noticed that Daniel’s clothes had a few tears.

He, being a billionaire CEO, was doing the hardest and most exhausting work. He did not complain but instead was entirely devoted to the public. This alone was enough for people to respect him, and Olivia’s heart stirred inexplicably once again.

After holding Olivia once more, Daniel let her go.

Olivia was about to mend Daniel’s torn clothes when she suddenly saw that his back had a few scratches too, making her feel upset.

“Keep still, let me disinfect the scratch for you and apply some medicine.”

Daniel glanced back at Olivia, softly coaxing, “My dear wife, my wounds are not a big deal. I haven’t been much help either. Everyone else is just as tired, and some even made bigger contributions than me.”

“I’ll make sure everyone checks their wounds and treats them later to prevent any infection. You all have done amazing work and everyone will be grateful for your efforts.”

Daniel held Olivia’s hand.

Olivia looked at him, but didn’t pull her hand away.

Olivia could feel that Daniel’s hand was a bit stiff and had become rougher.

Olivia stayed still, afraid that any movement might hurt Daniel’s injured hands.

…

In Beverly Hills, the old master sat in his study without sleeping, Michael Marshall accompanying him.

They both were very worried about Daniel.
