It was past 11.00PM when Alex’s temperature finally dropped, and Jewel breathed a sigh of relief. After leaving his room, she went straight back to her room, where she swiftly changed into a lightweight stealth suit and concealed a dagger in her boots. She proceeded to silently shut the door before venturing out again.
As soon as she stepped out of the door, she saw a figure standing at the entrance. Her heart skipped a beat, unable to tell if this person was coming in or going out. However, the person at the door didn’t move either, seemingly waiting for her. So, she approached cautiously without making a sound.
When she saw who was standing at the door, she felt speechless and helpless. “Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night?”
“Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night?” Olivia snorted. Jewel knew that she couldn’t hide anything from Olivia, so she decided not to keep it from her. “You know why. I have to go.”
“I told you, I can save him. Why don’t you believe me?” Olivia sighed.
“I believe you. I know you have the ability, but you know that Phantom’s poison is highly toxic. If you analyze the toxin’s composition, it will surely take time. If it causes any harm to him, I can’t live with the guilt. And I’m not just doing this for Alex; I’m also doing it for myself. Phantom is not in Double Dragon Court. This is a rare opportunity. If I miss it, I may never have a chance for revenge in my lifetime. Please don’t stop me, Olivia.”
Olivia sighed again. “Fine, then I’ll go with you.”
Hearing that, Jewel became anxious. “No, you can’t. You’re not alone now. You have Eugene and a child. You mustn’t take any risks or put yourself in danger.”
She stepped forward, intending to send Olivia back, but she saw that Olivia had already changed into her stealth suit, ready to go. A smile tugged on her lips, but she felt a strange tingling in her nose. Why is she so foolish? Does she think I’m going to steal some treasure? She just wants to go along with me without even considering it?
At this moment, Olivia looked at her with sharp eyes. “If I can’t go, then why can you? Do you think you have no one who cares for you? Have you thought about what will happen to me if you’re in danger? What about your godmother? What about Alex? He has waited for so many years and overcome countless obstacles to be with you. When you went to look for North today, he specifically asked me to watch over you. If you really have to go, then I have to go with you. Otherwise, I won’t be able to explain to Alex.”
At her words, Jewel felt a little guilty. “I’ll be fine. I’ll be careful.” “It’s been so many years already. Are you confident in dealing with her? If you’re not, then it’s a risk,” said Olivia.
After taking a deep breath, Jewel replied, “Olivia, I know you’re worried about me, but I’m telling you clearly, I can’t let you come with me, and you can’t watch over me forever. I must take my revenge.”
Olivia furrowed her brow. “Do you want to bet with me? I might not be able to watch over you all the time, but in this clinic, it’s not just me alone. Even if we need to take turns watching over you, we won’t let you take this risk alone.”
Hearing that, Jewel took a few deep breaths and reluctantly walked toward Olivia. “Fine, you win. I won’t go anymore.”
“Really?” Olivia was skeptical. “Would I dare to let you come with me? If something happens, Eugene will hold me accountable.” Olivia shrugged helplessly. “Don’t you think the two of us are better than just you alone…”
Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck, and in an instant, she understood Jewel’s retreat was a decoy. She never intended to not go; she just didn’t want her to come along.
“You…” Olivia didn’t even get to say a complete sentence before her body went limp. Immediately, Jewel caught her before she fell. “I’m sorry, Olivia.”
After saying that, she carried her back into the room, quietly tucked her in, and then left. However, she didn’t notice that a car nearby started following her.
