The moment that Henry launched an attack, he knew that there was going to be a shockwave that would be created the moment that the attack landed.
For that reason, the moment he attacked, he immediately rushed towards Olivia. He had already noticed the moment that she fell on the ground.
There was no way that he was going to allow her to die, considering that she had assisted him in dealing with the monster, and he was aiming to recruit her.
He swooped in just in time to carry her and shield her from the shock wave. Using his armor, he managed to block the shockwave from dealing any damage to him. As for Olivia, he protected her from the shock wave using his body.
For that reason, he had no choice but to pull her closer to him, to prevent her from directly feeling the shockwave. But by doing that, he had increased the contact between the two of them.
