Chapter 1242 How Did Phantom Die?
Ellen glanced over, her eyes filled with concern. Olivia hesitated to share the details in
front of Ellen, fearing it would frighten her. However, considering the gravity of the
situation, she knew her mother-in-law would insist on knowing the truth. So, without hiding
anything, Olivia explained how Jewel had knocked her out and went to Phantom's house to
confront her, then forced Phantom to give her the antidote.
"I didn't develop the antidote I used on you. Even if I could save you, it wouldn't have
been so quick. But Jewel didn't want me to tell you, fearing it would worry you. I never
expected Phantom to die," Olivia added.
Alex's heart ached with pain, realizing that everything was kept secret to spare him from
worry. In hindsight, he felt a chill down his spine. That woman was formidable, even
though he had fought her while injured that day. Even without his injuries, he doubted he
would have been on par with her. To make matters worse, she was skilled at throwing
darts, so he might have died that day.
That foolish woman never considered that she could die as well, did she?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe just went ahead and knocked out Phantom secretly. If this incident hadn't occurred,
perhaps he wouldn't have realized when he would need to hide behind her and rely on her
for protection.
"So, Jewel said she didn't kill her?" Alex inquired.
Olivia nodded. "That's right. Later, I had North investigate, and Phantom was admitted to
a private hospital in the west."
Alex narrowed his eyes. "Someone must have framed her. How did the police find out that
Jewel was there? I'm going to the hospital to investigate."
Olivia tried to stop him. "You shouldn't go. You haven't fully recovered. I'll go instead."
Alex insisted, "No, you need to stay at home and take care of the kids. They can't do
without you. I'm fine now, and I know my own body."
Olivia was still worried. "Then why don't you wait for Eugene to come back and go with
you? He should be here this afternoon."
But Alex couldn't wait any longer. He said, "He just returned and must be exhausted. Let
him rest today. I'll take Peter with me."
After speaking, he went back to change his clothes. In no time, he emerged, looking much
stronger than before.
Once Alex left, Ellen anxiously asked, "Is it possible that Jewel injured her, and due to
delayed treatment, she died?"
Olivia reassured her, "No, Jewel's attacks were precise. The body parts she targeted
wouldn't be fatal."
Ellen fretted, "What kind of fate does this child have? She's a good girl. Why is her life so
tumultuous?"
Olivia helped Ellen sit down and said, "Mrs. Nolan, don't worry. Jewel will be fine."
Outside the medical clinic, Albert stared at the parked police car with suspicion filling his
mind. What had happened? Did something go wrong during treatment? Or did someone
die from taking medication? Otherwise, the police wouldn't be here.
As he continued staring, he noticed two police officers bringing out a woman from the
clinic. Her head was covered with a black cloth, making it impossible to see who it was.
Albert's heart raced with panic. Could it be Olivia? He got out of his car and rushed over,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbut before he could reach them, the police threatened him with their guns, forcing him to
stop.
Albert watched the police car drive away before turning around and heading toward the
clinic. George stood at the entrance with a stern expression, his gaze fixed on the
departing Jewel.
He believed Jewel had gone to settle the score with Phantom, but since she claimed she
hadn't killed anyone, it must be true. But how did Phantom die?
He was consumed with anxiety, desperate to uncover the truth. However, he couldn't
leave as Hector had returned to the research base. He had no choice but to stay and keep
watch.
Seeing Albert approaching the clinic from a distance, George ignored him and walked
inside. He couldn't be bothered dealing with him at the moment.
In the past, Albert might have taken the hint and left, but today, he was genuinely anxious
as he was concerned that the person taken away might be Olivia. Where else could he go
to find the necklace?
Ignoring the fact that he might annoy George, he entered the clinic and headed straight to
find George.
