On the other end, a piercing sound suddenly came from Olivia’s phone before the call disconnected, startling Olivia. She couldn’t help wondering if something had happened to Eugene. Noticing the look on her face, North asked, “Mommy, what’s wrong?”
She had no intention of hiding it. “I just called your father, but the call got disconnected abruptly. I’m worried that something happened to him.”
North and the Rogers siblings exchanged glances. “That can’t be, right? Isn’t this Azalea’s plan? How could she let something happen to Daddy?”
Olivia also knew that everything was part of Azalea’s plan. Even if the woman wanted to set someone up, she should do it to Olivia. It didn’t make sense for her to harm Eugene.
But she wasn’t able to convince herself with this reasoning. As she sat there, she kept feeling restless and anxious. Eventually, she took out her phone and called the bodyguards.
Someone finally answered her call after a long time. When the call got through, Olivia immediately asked, “Where’s Eugene?”
“Miss Maxwell, we are still searching for President Nolan. He jumped into the sea from a three-story container to save Azalea Namb. We’re currently gathering people for a rescue.” Olivia’s face instantly turned pale with shock. After getting the address from the bodyguard, she quickly ended the call.
Something really did happen after all! After she quickly reminded the kids of a few things, she rushed to the seaside.
Fortunately, Olivia arrived in about half an hour, as Muse Peninsula wasn’t far from the beach. From a distance, she saw many people rowing their boats and searching in the sea. She hurriedly ran over and blurted out, “What’s the situation?”
One of the bodyguards pointed to a nearby boat and informed her, “It seems like they’ve found them. They’re on that boat.”
Olivia asked again, ‘How is Eugene? Is he okay?” “Azalea Namb is okay, but President Nolant seems to have lost consciousness.”
“Lost consciousness?” She began to panic again. “I’ll go and take a look.” She then strode toward the boat closest to her.
However, the bodyguard quickly stopped her. “Miss Maxwell, you can wait over there instead. They should come ashore soon. It’ll be faster for them to reach you than for you to go over.”
Olivia peered at the boat before she nodded in agreement and headed toward the designated waiting area. Sure enough, the boat started to move in her direction.
She desperately looked over as the boat came to a stop, only to see Eugene lying quietly inside, a pool of blood staining his lower back. Meanwhile, Azalea sat beside him, pitifully sobbing her eyes out. However, Olivia couldn’t be bothered to get even with Azalea.
As soon as the bodyguards moved Eugene to the shore, she rushed over and checked the pulse on his major artery. A sense of relief washed over her when she felt the faint but steady heartbeat beneath her fingertips. She was just glad that he was not dead.
‘Is the ambulance here?” she asked urgently. “It should be arriving soon.” Olivia hummed in acknowledgment and tore a strip of cloth from her dress to temporarily stop the bleeding from Eugene’s wound.
The bodyguard then asked, “Miss Maxwell, we’ve also found another man in the sea. What should we do with him?” Busy tending to the injury, Olivia inquired, “Is he dead?”
“Not yet.” “Send him to the hospital and get some men to keep an eye on him!” After giving those instructions, she knelt beside Eugene and clasped her hands together to give him CPR. As she pumped, she called out, “Eugene! Wake up, Eugene…”
But when he showed no response, she pinched his nose and started giving him mouth-to- mouth. She alternated between the two actions.
A crowd had gathered around to watch Olivial anxiously and single-handedly perform the rescue. No one could truly empathize with her.
They had given Azalea a reason to stay far away from their lives. But who would have thought that there would be so many unexpected changes along the way. even though everything had been planned so. well!
In the end, Eugene used his own life to repay Azalea for saving him in the past.
