Chapter 170 Oliver's Collapse
Unprecedented!
This was the first time Oliver suffered such a serious injury. The severe pain from his right leg made his face a little distorted. No matter how tough he was, he could not endure the pain of broken bones.
What a scary guy, so cunning!
He breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't hear any footsteps following him. He didn't understand why the vampire who was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger didn't kill him.
He pulled out a dagger and cut through his special protective suit. Looking at the huge swelling on his knee, his face looked extremely ugly.
In addition to the broken knee, his ankle also exposed pale bones. Looking at the broken heel, Oliver endured the pain and tore off the cloth of his trouser leg, and tried to perform a preliminary binding and fixation on his wound.
On that deserted island full of dangers, he learned to overcome all difficulties. The pain in front of him could not knock him down, but only aroused his fighting spirit even more.
Oliver rushed home with great difficulty for the first time, using a board and gauze to fix his leg and prevent the fracture from getting worse.
The dim light illuminated his somewhat luxurious villa.
"S!"
Oliver's face turned pale at the strange situation of not being able to return home. He stumbled and fell heavily to the ground. He struggled to rush back home but he didn't expect this to be the situation.
Any other places?
Oliver's brain was working rapidly. You know, not many people usually come to his house, and even fewer people have the key. What's worse is that he was worried that it was the enemy who came to his house.
Under normal circumstances, he would definitely let the other party know what it meant to walk into a trap, but now, with only one leg, he didn't even have the ability to run over and fight in close combat.
"Fake!"
Looking at the way back, God knows how he ran back. The uniform that concealed his identity had been taken off by him, and even the green eye shadow had been wiped off. He returned home not only to rest, but also to have a complete set of medical equipment in his basement. He wanted to get himself bone-setting treatment!
No, if I miss the best healing time, my legs will definitely suffer serious sequelae.
Oliver definitely didn't want to see himself become a cripple. He touched his back and realized that he had thrown away his crossbow halfway through the journey to avoid being discovered.
Drawing out the dagger from his waist and putting it on his sleeve, Oliver endured the pain and limped towards his home, praying constantly in his heart.
dong dong!
Oliver wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at his legs hidden by the wide trouser legs, trying hard to pretend to be normal.
pat.
The door of the luxuriously decorated house was opened, and a pretty girl revealed her face.
"Oliver? Ha, you're back!"
The clear words and familiar face made Oliver breathe a sigh of relief. He looked at the girl who came with a calm expression.
"Thea? Why are you in my house?"
Oliver said indifferently that the girl in front of him was his sister Thea Quinn, a drug-addicted girl with a disordered lifestyle.
Oliver had a bad impression of her, but no matter what, the girl in front of him was still his sister. At least he didn't have to worry about being completely screwed today.
"ah!"
"Oliver, are you hurt?"
After just two steps, Thea suddenly discovered that Oliver's legs were a little unfavorable. She hurriedly wanted to step forward to support him, with worry on her face.
"No, I just fell on the road!"
Oliver said somewhat coldly.
"Fell down? Why do I feel like your leg is seriously injured?"
Thea asked anxiously, wanting to come over to check on Oliver's injuries, but was pushed away by Oliver.
Sitting on the hard sofa stool, Oliver breathed a sigh of relief. God knew how much suffering his left leg had endured.
"Now that you've seen me, you should go back. It seems like there's nothing much to talk about between the two of us."
Although he was a little anxious inside, Oliver pretended to be calm and looked at his sister who was worried. Now, he was eager to get rid of the girl so that he could go to the basement immediately and treat himself.
"I'm sorry, Oliver. I was such a terrible person before. I came here today to tell you that I have successfully quit my drug addiction and will never take drugs again!"
Looking at her brother with a cold face, Thea of course understood why this was the case. She looked serious and made a solemn promise. Looking at her brother who looked a little unnatural, she knew that it must be her long-term estrangement that made Oliver unable to show his joy even though he was in his heart.
People often say that there is great terror and great awakening between life and death, and Xia is in this state today.
Seeing Oliver trying hard to force a smile, a knowing smile also appeared on her face. Her brain was working fast, and Thea was thinking about how to ease the awkward atmosphere between them.
"Brother, you came back so late, you must be hungry, right? I will cook for you today!"
"Wait……"
The forced smile on Oliver's face froze instantly. Looking at the cheerful figure walking away quickly, he was extremely flustered. The fact that his sister had quit drug addiction was undoubtedly a surprise to him, but at this moment, he really needed some time alone!
The pain in his legs made his facial muscles twitch. Looking at the girl tinkering in the kitchen, Oliver forced himself to stand up from his seat. He walked quickly to his room and came to the bedside. He quickly took out a bottle of white wine, pulled up his trouser legs, and bit the stopper of the bottle with his teeth. Bang!
A crisp sound flashed by, and the strong aroma of wine was inhaled into his nose. Oliver poured the bottle of wine directly on his ankle where the bones were exposed. The heart-wrenching pain made him groan uncontrollably, and the veins on his neck were exposed.
Boom boom boom!
There was an unhurried knock on the door, and Xia's puzzled voice came from the door.
Oliver quickly re-bandaged the wound, took a deep breath, regained his normal complexion, and limped out of the room.
In the living room, Xia was sitting at the dining table at this moment. There was dim light, a glass of red wine had been poured, and steak pasta was placed on the table.
Sitting down with some difficulty, Oliver adjusted his collar, and put a piece of steak into his mouth with a smile on his face.
"Xia, it's really delicious!"
"Haha, brother, this is the first time we've eaten at the same table in all these years!"
Xia said happily, and she considerately cut her steak into pieces and placed them neatly in front of him.
The atmosphere between the two became more and more harmonious, and their conversation was mixed with laughter. I watched Xia drink the second glass of red wine, pick up the bottle from under the table, and fill it up again.
Oliver suddenly felt a strange sense of awkwardness. Under the dim light, Thea's wine glass was shaking with a bright red luster.
Bright red?
Oliver's pupils shrank slightly. He looked at the red wine on the table and said tentatively, "Xia, when did you like drinking so much?"
"Ok?"
Xia's heart skipped a beat and she licked the red liquid that remained at the corner of her mouth somewhat awkwardly.
"Brother, I had a big meal before I came here. I can't eat anything else?"
"Oh……"
Oliver "carelessly" finished the last few pieces of beef on the plate one by one. Then he shook the wine in the glass slightly and raised it to his eyes. Under the light, the deep red wine exuded a faint mellow aroma.
Looking through the deep red liquid in the glass at the person sitting opposite her, Xia drank the glass in just one gulp.
Under the red halo, Xia's face was mixed with a strange smile...
Even though she had already been eating blood as a daily diet, Xia was still intoxicated by the indescribable beauty of it.
The silence at the table made Thea look at her brother. At this moment, Oliver was floating in the air with one hand raised, looking in her direction.
?
"Brother, what are you doing?"
Xia felt a little strange. She had just been drinking so much that she forgot herself. Suddenly she realized that she might have been too relaxed.
Vampires are just legends in Star City. Who would have guessed it except for that scary guy Green Arrow? Thea, relax!
Xia couldn't help but comfort herself. After they smiled at each other, Xia looked at the bottle of wine that she had drunk up, and then hurriedly tidied the tableware.
Oliver's heart was pounding as he looked at his sister who didn't seem to be pretending.
Ping Pong Pong...
The sound of washing dishes came from the kitchen, and Oliver stood up from his seat. At this moment, even the pain in his legs was forgotten.
He staggered to Xia's seat, fixed his eyes on the bottle of wine under the table, picked it up and turned it over.
Not a drop left?
He couldn't help but gently move closer to the bottle mouth, and a strange smell rushed into his nose. It was definitely not just red wine in it.
Oliver, who knew a lot about wine, came to this conclusion directly.
The pungent smell of the wine seemed to mask some unusual smell...
"Brother...what are you doing?"
The voice behind him made Oliver's heart suddenly rise. The dagger hidden in his sleeve was tightly grasped in his left hand, and his facial expression changed rapidly.
Oliver smiled and turned to look at his sister who had come up behind him without him noticing.
With his extremely sharp perception, he didn't even notice when Xia walked here from the kitchen.
"I'm a little curious, what kind of wine is it that made you finish this bottle?"
Thea took the bottle from Oliver expressionlessly, said nothing, and walked straight to the kitchen.
Oliver swallowed subconsciously and looked at Thea's silent back with deep eyes. He clenched the dagger in his hand and was ready for a life-and-death fight!
