Chapter 1442 My Wife Would Not Be Pleased
Olivia explained, "Godmother's inability to speak for a short period has led to a quicker
recovery than the other patients with a similar condition."
While saying this, she rose to her feet and expressed her longing. "I want to expedite
Godmother's recovery so I can reunite with my sons. I miss them dearly."
Alice inquired, "So, how soon can we expect Godmother to recover her ability to speak
fluently?"
Olivia responded reassuringly, "The acupuncture treatment I'm administering aims to
improve her blood circulation. It should yield results within a week. Following that,
spending time conversing with her will aid her speech recovery. Also, the herbal medicine I
prescribed must be taken for a while. Once she regains mobility, dedicating one or two
hours daily to rehabilitation is recommended. This process can be quite painful. Are you
prepared for it, Godmother?"
Doreen nodded affirmatively, "Yes… I… am."
A warm smile graced Olivia's lips. "I have faith in you."
Doreen added, "Stay… for... the… night."
Olivia's smile widened. "Okay."
She knew that staying at Albert's place was not an option. Not only would Eugene
perceive him as an enemy, but she would also be engulfed in a cloud of awkwardness.
Alice looked around and said, "Me too. I'll stay here for the night."
Meanwhile, Eugene deliberately kept his distance from their conversation. His relationship
with Olivia had a rocky start, and it would be uncomfortable for her to recap their
encounter in his presence.
However, he took the opportunity to seek out Shannon regarding their bodyguard
arrangement. His worries were eased as he learned that the bodyguards had already
boarded the plane.
Although the current situation didn't appear to pose an immediate danger, Eugene had
imbibed from Albert the wisdom of self-reliance over dependence on others.
Consequently, he had become skeptical of trusting others and was determined to
safeguard his wife personally.
As they conversed in the courtyard, suddenly, a security guard entered through the gate.
Soon after, he approached Eugene with deference, informing him, "Mr. Nolan, there's
someone outside looking to speak with you."
Eugene was skeptical upon hearing this. He could not help but wonder who could be
seeking him out in this place. Still, he questioned, "Who is it?"
The guard seemed somewhat uncertain, yet he remained dutiful, offering a vague
response. "Um... Mr. Nolan, you should see for yourself."
With an air of nonchalance, Eugene furrowed his brows and strolled toward the gate. In
the meantime, Shannon and Everett exchanged glances before trailing behind him.
However, Eugene was taken aback to find Beatrix standing at the gate. He definitely
would not have headed over if he had known it was her. His expression darkened instantly,
and his eyes revealed undisguised disgust. "You're looking for me?" he uttered.
Beatrix lifted her chin haughtily and declared, "Step outside. We need to talk."
He languidly raised his eyebrow and cast a nonchalant glance at her. "Don't you see how
much everyone despises you?"
She frowned in response. Despite being a princess, she had sought this meeting to offer a
well-intentioned warning. Nonetheless, his ingratitude baffled her. Suppressing her ire, she
composed herself before speaking. "Eugene, General Bleu had her men take you and
Olivia because she believes Olivia can cure her. However, what if she discovers that Olivia
is the thief who stole the Eurosia necklace five years ago? Would General Bleu still protect
you?"
Eugene scoffed at her foolishness. "General Bleu might be unwell, but she's not isolated
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfrom the palace's rumors. Do you assume she's ignorant of what transpired within those
walls?"
Beatrix countered, "Her understanding is limited to Alice's account. Alice is intentionally
safeguarding Olivia and would never label her a thief. But I'm different. I'll present solid
evidence to General Bleu. Whose word do you think she'll believe—my substantiated proof
or Alice's unfounded protection?"
He slid his hand into the pocket with a curious glint in his eyes. "And what are you hoping
to blackmail me with?"
She responded, "Let's talk."
However, he agreed and stated, "Go ahead, I'm all ears."
Beatrix appeared slightly embarrassed and cast a fleeting glance at their surroundings. "I
wish to converse with you in private."
Eugene countered, "Not possible. My wife wouldn't be pleased."
Frustration etched her expression as she instructed the guards at the gate. "Very well,
step aside for a moment. Eugene and I have matters to discuss."
Although these guards served under the Governor General's residence, they didn't dare to
disregard the princess' orders. Besides, her request was not unreasonable, so they
obligingly stepped back.
