He pulled her into his arms and his voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, “Are you trying to make me heartbroken?”
Olivia was speechless. Suddenly, Eugene couldn’t help but feel utterly helpless as he said, “You handle your own fights, seek revenge by yourself, and deal with things on your own. You’ve been doing it all alone for so many years. What other troubles would you have? What use am I as your boyfriend?”
She suddenly realized something upon hearing. him airing out his grievances. So, she reached out and hugged his neck while deliberately putting on a fierce expression. “My boyfriend is very useful. Without you, how would we have our four adorable sons? Who would cook delicious food for us? Who would help us seek revenge? What nonsense are you spewing? Are you planning to quit on me?”
Eugene knew she was trying to cheer him up. Therefore, he merely leaned closer to her, and his slightly cool lips touched the top of her head. “Don’t worry. I will definitely seek revenge. for you.”
Olivia smiled. “Okay.”
“Sleep now. I’ll hold you,” he said as he gently. stroked her head with his large palm. It made her feel a tingling sensation as if she had been electrified. Half of her body became soft and pliant. She wondered if she could actually fall asleep like this with him holding her.
In fact, her worries were all for naught. She didn’t know if it was because she felt safe in his arms or because she was genuinely tired after experiencing such an ordeal today, but she quickly fell into a deep slumber.
However, just as Eugene had expected, her sleep was far from restful. Instead, her delicate eyebrows furrowed tightly as her body tensed up. Her hands seemed to be trying to grab onto something. He quickly held her flailing hands and softly called out, “Olivia, Olivia=”
In her dream, Olivia seemed very anxious and kept shouting, “Jewel, run! Hurry!”
Eugene’s eyes were filled with heartache. He pushed her gently, trying to wake her up while calling out to her, “Olivia, wake up. Olivia…”
Unfortunately, at this moment, she was trapped in her nightmare and couldn’t wake up no matter what. In the dream, she was pulling Jewel’s hand. They were running and running. Many people were chasing after them, with Blood Rose leading the way. Suddenly, a group of people blocked their path.
At the forefront was a man of short stature with a pair of triangular eyes that seemed to be infused with venomous light. She recognized him. It was Joseph, and he was holding a handgun. He was aiming it at a man. This man was tall with long legs, dressed in black, and exuded an innate domineering aura. This aura felt strangely familiar to her.
Almost instinctively, she pulled Jewel’s hand and approached the man. When she saw that familiar face, her heart instantly rose to her throat-Eugene.
She covered her mouth as she was afraid that she would blurt out his name in the next second. She was even more terrified that Joseph would know that Eugene was her boyfriend and would transfer his anger toward him because of them leaving the Double Dragon Court. Although Jonathan had spared them back then, Jewel said that Joseph had been looking for them.
Sure enough…
Joseph spoke to Eugene, “Just hand over Olivia, and I’ll let you go. Tell me where she is.” Olivia was filled with anxiety. She wanted to give Eugene a signal and asked him to deny knowing or recognizing her.
Alas, Eugene glanced at her as if he hadn’t seen her and said, “That’s my girlfriend. If you want to harm her, I will make you pay the price.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Joseph became furious. Joseph immediately raised his hand and pulled the trigger, and the gun went off with a loud bang.
She could only watch helplessly as Eugene fell to the ground. Suddenly, her heart felt like it was being torn in half, and she screamed in fear, “Eugene-”
She abruptly woke up from her dream and sat up in bed. Eugene was startled by her sudden cry and hastily grabbed her hand as he soothed her gently, saying, “Olivia, I’m here.”
