As Azalea emerged from Eugene’s ward, she thought about going to Cameron’s ward, albeit with a morbid intention-she wanted to see if he had died. However, she spotted two bodyguards. stationed at the entrance before she could reach the ward.
Quietly, she retreated, her expression gloomy. Instead, she approached a young nurse and slipped a wad of money into her hand as she whispered a few words. It was only then that she left the hospital. Once outside, she borrowed a passerby’s phone and made a call. “Get me a skilled person.”
She quietly listened after saying that. “You dare mention the last time? How can you call yourselves skilled when you couldn’t even capture a few children? Is that the extent of the abilities of the assassins from Samuel Court?”
She paused again. “Don’t forget, I hold something against you.. Want to bet if I’ll tell Olivia right now?” After a slight pause, she stated, “As soon as possible. Don’t worry. I won’t do anything to your lover!”
After ending the call, she had her subordinates tail Ellen. Azalea then returned the phone to the passerby and headed back to the hotel when she had everything arranged.
Shannon had been waiting at the hotel. Since Eugene instructed her not to mention anything for now, she decided to play ignorant. She put on her best act upon seeing Azalea. “Goodness! Where have you been? What happened to you?”
Azalea replied weakly, “I was robbed.” Shannon immediately feigned surprise. “What happened?! Can you please stop leaving me all alone? Eugene is going to have my head!” Azalea let a silent tear fall. “He won’t hold you accountable for now. He got hurt saving me.”
Shannon kept pretending to be surprised as she inquired about what happened, and Azalea went on and told her the whole story. Of course, she omitted the fact that she had orchestrated the whole thing herself.
She portrayed herself as an ordinary victim who had fallen prey to a robbery. In the end, she added tearfully, ‘I never expected Eugene to have such deep feelings for me!”
The corner of Shannon’s mouth twitched. Deep feelings? In what way? However, she maintained her composed demeanor and replied, “You saved Eugene so naturally, he couldn’t stand idly by.”
Azalea turned to Shannon. “In what situation do you think a man would risk his life for a woman?”
When he wants to draw a clear line between you and him, duh. Shannon quietly came up with an answer. And also to expose the fact that you planned your own kidnapping. Do you think everyone else is stupid?
However, she decided not to say that. It would be more impactful for Eugene to say it himself. I’ll let her stay in the daydream she made up for now. Instead, she smiled and commented, “I can’t say for sure. No one really knows what goes on in Eugene’s head!”
Bashfully, Azalea pursed her lips and gazed into. the distance. “Did you know? He was exhausted as he dragged me along, but he never let go. Unlike the cold seawater, my heart felt warm and secure. I knew he wouldn’t abandon me. It’s such a pity that I only know how he feels for me now. If only…”
If only I did not test him like that, and if only I hadn’t been so impatient for some form of repayment. Olivia’s appearance threatened me and threw me off balance! I should have remained calm and quietly waited for him just like before. That way, I wouldn’t have been violated by that animal!
Shannon was still waiting for Azalea to continue her sentence as she looked at the woman skeptically. “If only what?” Azalea seemed to come back to her senses then. “If only I had taken you with me wherever I went.”
Shannon knew she wasn’t telling the truth, but she didn’t want to pursue it further. Every word Azalea uttered sounded like that of a mentally disturbed patient.
She thinks that Eugene likes her, huh? I wouldn’t have been certain in the past, but after what happened today, I am one hundred percent certain that Eugene is in love with Mrs. Nolan. So what if Eugene went and rescued Azalea? Even an outsider like me can see that Eugene was only repaying her. She is probably the only one who thinks that he loves her!
“Right, that’s why you should never go solo from now on. You have to wake me up and take me with you even if I’m asleep.”
