Olivia spat, “You don’t have to do that. Now, get out!” Hearing that, Ellen and Brian turned to look at each other before they asked Olivia, “And this is?”
Olivia growled, “She is Azalea Namb, the one Eugene jumped from the third-floor container to save.” Ellen suddenly understood what was going on. So, she is the one who saved Eugene!
Her gaze shifted back to Azalea. Azalea’s guilt, coupled with her decent acting skills, made the woman appear even more pitiful and lovable. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Nolan. And you too, Olivia. I’m sorry.”
As she spoke, she shuffled toward Eugene’s bed and placed the bag she was holding on the bedside table. “I’m sure everyone here hasn’t eaten. I bought food for you. Please have something to eat.”
She then turned to the pale Eugene before she burst out in tears. “Eugene…”
All it took was one word for her to cry so much that she couldn’t get the words out. However, Eugene furrowed his eyebrows slightly. “I’m fine. You can go back.”
Unable to utter a word, Azalea could only shake her head. The pain in her eyes was genuine. In fact, if it weren’t for Olivia being here, she might have burst into tears and sobbed in his arms. Her aching heart was filled with a mix of regret and self-blame.
She never expected Eugene to risk everything to save her. She thought that now that he had Olivia, he didn’t care about her anymore and had forgotten about her saving him back then. That was why she repeatedly reminded him, hoping to gain some of his attention by doing something. Alas, it turned out to be counterproductive, and she ended up in the current situation. If her wanting his attention meant that he had to lie in bed like this, she would rather he be an ungrateful person.
“Why would you do something so stupid? How could my worthless life be worth you sacrificing yourself? Azalea asked as she tried to sit on the edge of the bed.
Olivia’s expression immediately turned icy and she reached out and grabbed Azalea by the back of her collar just as the woman was about to sit on the bed.
Hoisting her up, Olivia spat, ‘Eugene did it to repay you for saving him. He didn’t want to owe you anything, that is all. Don’t overthink it!” Azalea peered at Olivia and nodded slightly. “I understand.”
She then looked at Eugene, her tears rolling down her cheeks. “You don’t owe me anything anymore now. I’m the one who owes you. I can never fully repay you in my entire life.” Eugene interrupted, “It’s not that serious. Go get some rest.”
Olivia’s eyes were cold when she looked at Azalea. “There’s no need for this back and forth about repaying anyone. From now on, stay out of our sight. No one wants to see you!”
Azalea turned to Olivia and immediately started pleading, “Olivia, I know I’ve wronged you. It’s my fault that Eugene got hurt. I understand if you blame or resent me. But please… Don’t chase me away. I just want to take one more look at him. I promise I won’t fight over him with you.”
Olivia was thoroughly disgusted upon hearing those words. She sneered, “Fight over him with me? Are you even worthy of doing that? He needs rest, and you need to get the hell out of here!”
She abruptly pushed Azalea toward the door while she spoke. Azalea, who instinctively took a few steps forward, fell to the ground. Ellen subconsciously wanted to help her up, but when she looked at Olivia, she stopped right where she was.
Olivia had a frown on her face upon seeing how consistently Azalea was putting on a show. The former knew she didn’t even use that much force!
Taking two steps toward the woman on the floor, she warned, ‘Stay away from Eugene from now on, or I won’t hold back anymore.”
Azalea hurriedly got up from the floor and bowed to the people in the ward, whispering, “I’m sorry, Olivia. Please don’t be angry. I’ll leave now.”
She cast Eugene a deep glance before turning around and leaving. Olivia was infuriated when she saw that. It was baffling to her how there could be such a shameless woman.
