Chapter 343 Promise
When she said this, Olivia took a deep breath and tears were streaming down her closed eyes. Eugene felt his heart ache and patted her hands lightly. “Don’t be sad because it’s all over now.”
Olivia continued her tale. “Those were the darkest days of my life and it went on for a year. If it weren’t for George, North and I would not have survived till today. I was saved by the main doctor because of George as well. It was George who begged him to save me and promised him to earn enough money to pay him back ten times the ransom that he had spent on me.”
“In truth, he has actually paid back his debt, but he stays in the clinic and never goes anywhere. He occasionally goes out with his friend to do some business on diamonds, but he will return in ten or fifteen days just to repay the main doctor for saving us as well as teaching us how to heal and save lives.”
“When I went back to the Double Dragon Court, I was really frightened to see George’s appearance. He looked no different from a corpse. I had thought he would die, but he gradually recovered. I kept trying to come up with ways to repay his kindness.”
“He knows how grateful I am to him and told me to think nothing about it, but how can I? He is the savior of North and I, and I almost caused him to die. Wouldn’t that be repaying his kindness with hate? I stayed next to him every day and night, and he joked that I should marry him to show my gratitude, but at that time, I only thought of him as family, and I was just betrayed by Hugo and Anna. I had no interest in finding a boyfriend, so I made a promise with him that one day, when he mentions this promise, I will do what he asks of me no matter what! But he has never mentioned this promise even once for so many years.”
Eugene’s brows tightened fiercely. He didn’t blame Olivia for making such an agreement so easily. Putting himself in her position and thinking about it, he could understand her decision. There really was no way to repay George for what he did.
He just blamed himself for not finding her earlier, which caused her to have suffered so much.
To think she was able to leave the Double Dragon Court, the world’s number one killer mercenary organization. Its members were chosen through a strict live-or-die elimination and he couldn’t imagine how she survived that place when she was pregnant.
“Weren’t you pregnant at that time? Did you also participate in the live-or-die trial?”
Olivia answered, “Yes, but at that time, George had a good relationship with Jonathan Lee. He made an exception for me because of him and asked me to participate in the trial after giving birth. I managed to survive till the end of the trial thanks to George pulling some strings in the dark, and thanks to him, we all took on some less dangerous tasks.
Later, when the incident with the necklace happened, we realized that there was no way out after all, and it just so happened that the main doctor and Jonathan Lee knew each other and paid 20 million voluntarily. So, it was considered that we committed suicide and were taken off the list!”
Eugene couldn’t even imagine what it was like at that time, but he could feel cold sweat dripping down his back as he listened to her. If it weren’t for the doctor’s willingness to spend money to buy their lives in order for them to leave the organization, it would be really hard to say whether they were alive or dead now.
He hugged her tightly, feeling distressed. It felt as if his heart was pierced by thousands of needles and it ached.
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” He was the one who caused her to suffer so much.
Olivia patted his back lightly. “There, there. What are you apologizing for? I’m telling you this not because I want to complain to you, but because I want you to understand my feelings for George, and that I can’t abandon him just because of you.”
As she said this, she grabbed Eugene’s hand and looked into his eyes lovingly
“During this period of time, you, my boyfriend, have suffered a lot of grievances. I didn’t explain anything and always asked for your understanding, which was unreasonable for you. Since it never happened to you, there’s no way for you to empathize. Moreover, this was a secret.
Once we are taken off the organization’s list, we can’t talk about it anymore, plus it’s difficult to explain in a few sentences. I don’t dare to let George know of your existence because I am worried that he will not let me be with you using that promise, where I can’t say no to him! Can you understand me now?”
