Hearing that, Alex responded, “Oh, right. You’re hurt too, aren’t you, Jewel? Are you fine?” As he asked, he sat up while wanting to take a look at her. At that moment, everybody was startled by his actions and immediately urged him not to move about.
Jewel, on the other hand, pushed him back down without a second thought. However, due to exerting too much force, she reopened her wounds, making her draw a deep breath in pain.
Naturally, Alex was dizzy as he suppressed the feeling of his world being spun around while blaming himself in panic. “Jewel, did you reopen your wound? Turn around and let me have a look.”
Resisting the pain, Jewel replied, “I’m fine!” Olivia, who was shocked, quickly stepped up and took a look at her wound. “It’s bleeding again.”
As she said that, she quickly dried her wound with cotton while reminding her, “You need to be more careful. With such a deep wound, it’ll never recover if you act so recklessly.” Ellen added worryingly, ‘Jewel, take a rest. I can take care of him.”
Eugene frowned. “That’s right. There are so many servants in the house, so just leave it to them. Just focus on recuperating for now, then you can take care of him when you get better. You don’t have to be in such a rush!”
Looking at the people in front of them, Jewel nodded. “I know. It’s just… I was too hasty!” This made Alex even more guilty, for he had forgotten about her wounds. On top of that, his action of ordering her around had caused her wound to reopen.
His brain was all about how he could get closer to Jewel, forgetting the fact that she did not manage to dodge in time because she was hurt. Otherwise, how could he have the chance. to save her?
With a pained gaze, he looked at Jewel. “Does it still hurt, Jewel?” She shook her head. “It doesn’t.” Olivia took a look at Alex. “You’re suffering from a concussion, so don’t move around. If you want to eat some porridge, I can feed you.”
This made Eugene a little unhappy. Why is my girlfriend feeding him porridge when even I haven’t had the same treatment? As such, he ordered, “Kyle, you do it!”
Immediately, Kyle nodded and took the bowl from Olivia, “Let me do it, Mrs. Nolan!”
Olivia smiled awkwardly before giving him the bowl. She still remembered the last time when they met, he called her ‘Miss Maxwell. Now, he was calling her ‘Mrs. Nolan’ instead!
Isn’t he a sharp one! Seeing how everything had calmed down, Eugene called North before stepping out of the room. Olivia noticed this and followed them. “How is it, Eugene? Did you manage to find out anything?”
Eugene nodded. “I have some leads for now. The assassin from Samuel said that the culprit communicated with them via the web page on Will-o’-Wisp. I had North to help me check it out, so we should be able to find the identity of the poster soon.”
This shocked Olivia. “Assassin from Samuel? Who is so cruel to hire a killer?” With a heavy heart, Eugene hugged her. “You don’t have to be so worried. We’ll dig the person out. Take a rest for now. You’ve been so busy ever since you came here.”
Olivia replied, ‘Okay. Since I can’t really help, you guys go ahead then. Do tell me if any information pops up.”
He nodded before heading downstairs with North. Switching on his computer, North entered the password for the Will-o-Wisp HQ web page before greeting Lone Wolf online. He then began to look into the person who sent the message.
Soon enough, the person’s details came up. The man was Theodore Medici, forty-five years old, and a normal-looking man. “Do you know the guy?”
The moment Eugene saw the man, he could not control the anger within him. Looks like Lara really is courting her death.
