Oops! My Escort Is A Mafia Don - Chapter 106: Chapter 106

Chloe suddenly stepped in front of Dylan, blocking his view. "Darling, what are you looking at? Don't look at her. Look at my hands. I got two blisters trying to save you. It hurts so much. Blow on them for me."
Chloe said, nestling into Dylan's embrace and holding her hand up to his face, looking pitifully at him, waiting for him to comfort her.
Dylan's eyes darkened. 'She just got a couple of blisters and is already acting like she's in so much pain, trying to play the victim in front of me. Could a woman like this really have saved me back then?' he thought.
Dylan didn't comfort her and silently pushed her away.
"Darling, what's wrong? You don't feel bad for me even though I got hurt trying to save you?" Chloe's tone was full of grievance.
She had intended to look on the verge of tears, but with the rain pouring down, her face was covered in water, making it impossible to tell if she was crying.
Dylan said in a deep voice, "I'm hurt too, and so is Olivia. We're both worse off than you."
Chloe's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes became panicked. "Darling, I'm sorry. I saw you looking a bit down and said that on purpose to get your attention, to cheer you up. I can handle pain—"
Dylan replied, "Okay, stop talking and save your energy."
Chloe bit her lip, watching as Dylan kept staring at Olivia, feeling a mix of anger and frustration.
After piling up about 2 feet of dirt beneath her feet, Olivia stopped and turned to look at Chloe.
"Chloe, come over here and be my stepping stone. I'll stand on your shoulders, wedge the animal trap into the wall above, climb up, and then pull you guys up," she said.
This was the most time-efficient method. Digging and piling up dirt took too long and was exhausting.
Olivia was strong, but she wasn't a machine; she would get tired and eventually run out of strength.
Chloe glanced at the height and said sarcastically, "It's still so high. How could you possibly get up there? Don't just show off and pretend to be strong."
Olivia replied indifferently, "Whether I can get up there or not, I'll find out once I try. Stop wasting time and come over here."
Chloe's face was full of anger. "Why should I listen to you? Who do you think you are to command me? And who do you think you are to use me as your stepping stone?"
Olivia said, "If you can climb up, I'll be your stepping stone, but can you really get up there?"
"It's not just me who needs to get up; it's all three of us. You being my stepping stone isn't just to save me; it's also to save you and your darling." Olivia rolled her eyes.
Dylan felt a pang of discomfort when Olivia referred to him as Chloe's darling. She used to mock him with that term all the time, but he never took it seriously. Now, it felt grating to his ears.
"I'm your husband," he said and couldn't help but correct her.
But either because he was too weak and his voice was too soft for Olivia to hear, or because she simply didn't want to acknowledge him, she didn't respond, not even with a glance.
Chloe gritted her teeth. "I absolutely refuse to be stepped on. You can keep digging and piling up dirt; eventually, you'll reach the top. Why do you have to step on me? You're clearly doing this on purpose to target me."
Olivia said coldly, "I can find another way up, but if I keep expending my energy, once I get up there and am exhausted, I won't care about your lives."
Dylan offered, "I'll be your stepping stone."
