Ellen looked at her surroundings and saw that it was the layout that she was familiar with. Even the furniture was placed in the same spot as before. It looks like he really can’t bear to leave. “Dad, do they visit often?”
“Oh yes, they always visit me. Eugene, Olivia, and my great-grandson would come here to accompany me from time to time. Brian can come over often in the future, too,” Merlin said, looking at Brian. Brian gave him a nod in agreement. “Okay, Grandpa!”
They stayed at the Nolan Residence until late afternoon, and Ellen and Brian went with Eugene to Muse Peninsular. Afterward, Eugene called Alex and asked him to join them with Jewel.
Ever since Alex registered an ID card for her at Promise Island, she felt indebted to him and agreed to be his personal bodyguard at his request. However, she had no idea that his personal bodyguard didn’t resign at all, and he merely vacated the spot for her so she would. have a paycheck.
On the other hand, she thought that he was really in need of a bodyguard. She was always punctual regarding work, and she was almost inseparable from him. This delighted him so much that he could barely remember anything- not even his name.
He agreed readily when he received the call today, and they arrived in less than thirty minutes. After they walked through the doors, Jewel politely smiled at everyone and only darted toward Ellen. She pulled Ellen into her arms and poured all her emotions into that one word, “Mom!”
Elation washed over Ellen’s face, and she grabbed Jewel as she exclaimed in shock, “You’re able to speak now?!” While she spoke, she continued gesturing in sign language, “Yes, a little.”
Ellen chuckled again and hugged her tightly. “That’s great! This is wonderful news. Take your time, as long as you can speak; all that’s left is to practice,” she said and turned to Olivia.
“You’re so amazing.” Eugene’s eyes were filled with gratitude as he gazed at Olivia. ‘Yeah, she’s amazing.” Olivia chuckled as she replied, “This is a result of Jewel’s efforts. You guys have no idea how hardworking she is, practicing with a book daily.”
“Don’t rush and take your time. If you overextend yourself, you’ll have more to lose than to gain.”
“I got it!” Jewel answered slowly They took their seats, and Eugene went into the kitchen to prepare food, but Alex felt awkward eating ready-made food. Nevertheless, even though he didn’t know how to cook, he had a commendable attitude as he followed Eugene. into the kitchen.
At first, Olivia wanted to help them out, but knowing that she hadn’t fully recovered, Eugene didn’t allow her and suggested she keep Ellen company alongside Jewel.
Unfortunately, Ellen was engrossed in a game. of chess with North, and the atmosphere was so harmonious that the girls would disrupt her if they started chatting with her. Hence, Jewel dragged Olivia into a room instead.
Once they were in a private room, she cast an anxious look at Olivia as she asked, using sign language, ‘How are you? Why didn’t I know that you’re injured?’
Olivia didn’t breathe a word about her accident this time to Jewel because she didn’t meet her in person, and the other reason was she didn’t want her to worry. “It’s fine. Look, you can’t even tell that I was injured.”
Jewel continued in sign, ‘I heard from Alex that it was Nicole’s doing?”
“Yeah,” Olivia muttered and briefly told her what happened. ‘Everything is fine now. But, at that time, I truly thought that I won’t make it back alive.” Jewel’s face turned dark. ‘That woman is seeking death!”
“Eugene already taught her a lesson, so this incident is over,” Olivia said. Jewel pouted. ‘I didn’t like her that much when I met her at Promise Island that day. Just one look and I could tell she’s an experienced manipulator.’
