Chapter 1303 Shadows of Deception
"I'll step out for a moment. Jewel, try to lie on your stomach or sleep on your side today,"
Olivia suggested.
Jewel complied with a nod.
Alex inquired, "Did Kyle apprehend the person who fired the shot?"
Olivia responded, "When I left North's room just now, they hadn't caught her yet as the
woman entered the changing room. Kyle didn't want to chase her too closely because he
feared she might shoot innocent people in desperation. He's keeping watch outside the
changing room now. I'll go and take a look."
After speaking, Olivia left Jewel's room and went to North's room.
As soon as she entered, she overheard North saying, "She's coming out."
Olivia approached quietly and refrained from making any noise to avoid distracting Kyle.
North noticed her presence and raised a curious eyebrow.
She knew North was asking about Jewel. "She's fine."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNorth stopped pressing for further details. His intense gaze remained fixed on the woman
brandishing the gun, and he calmly updated Kyle, "She's five meters away from your
position, three meters…"
Immediately after North finished his sentence, Kyle swiftly emerged and discreetly shot
the woman's wrist with a silenced pistol.
She dropped her gun to the ground. In the blink of an eye, she let out a cry of pain.
Kyle promptly approached and expertly disarmed her. Then, he swiftly escorted her away
from the area.
North ran his fingers across the keyboard to erase the surveillance footage. After that, he
rose from his seat and eagerly rushed into Olivia's embrace. "Mommy—"
There was a thrilled look in his eyes. He was elated that he got to work together with the
adults for a common goal. It felt as if they were a united family fighting together.
Olivia affectionately ruffled the little guy's head. "My son is incredible!"
North remarked, "Our plan to lure Blood Rose out is a success."
She beamed. "All thanks to my son."
He blushed slightly after being praised. "Aunt Jewel is amazing too. Despite her injuries,
she bravely fought against Blood Rose. I want to go check on her."
She affirmed, "Alright, let's go."
When Olivia and North returned to Jewel's room, Alex had already placed several soft
pillows beneath her and arranged an array of delectable treats that were placed nearby.
Alex tended to her like a child as he peeled a grape and offered it to her lip. "Here, have a
grape."
Jewel opened her mouth and savored the grape as she was already accustomed to his
caring gestures. She replied while chewing, "I'm already full."
Alex patiently coaxed her, "You must take good food to help with your body's recovery
after the injury. It'll help you to recover faster."
Olivia couldn't help but chuckle. "With your feeding method, your girlfriend will gain
weight in two weeks."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJewel sighed as she still felt weak. "You've been insisting I eat, but I've already mentioned I
can't eat anymore."
He mentioned with a serious expression, "You're too thin. It would be nice if you could gain
some weight."
Jewel shot a glance at him. "Lying on my stomach makes me uncomfortable."
It was only after hearing Jewel's complaint that Alex realized something. Then, he foolishly
acknowledged her request and removed everything in front of her.
Unperturbed by Alex and Jewel's interaction, North asked, "Aunt Jewel, are you okay?"
"I'm fine as it is just a minor injury. I'll recover after a few days of rest." Jewel reassured
him.
North expressed a tinge of self-blame. "We didn't realize that the old lady was with Blood
Rose."
Jewel agreed, "Indeed, we didn't notice anything suspicious about her even standing face
to face. If you hadn't alerted us, I might have fallen victim to that woman's gunshot."
Olivia interjected, "Blood Rose has been apprehended and Kyle should have brought her
back."
Jewel's excitement grew. "Then, have they apprehended all of her accomplices?"
