Chapter 1266 The Injured Olivia
Olivia knew that the angrier Eugene was, the calmer he would remain on the surface. So, she took the initiative to tug on his sleeve.
“Don’t confront the Double Dragon Court for my sake. It was Blood Rose who took the initiative to provoke us. We are just fighting back. Once we capture her, we’ll give her a good beating and send her back. This will also be a form of respect for Joseph and Jonathan. We can also discuss some compromises. Otherwise, when will this cycle of revenge end? We just want to live a peaceful life and don’t want to engage in constant fighting and killing like before.”
How could Eugene not understand Olivia’s thoughts?
He held her hand tightly while looking at her pale face and his eyes were filled with unrelenting pain. He gently responded, “All right.”
George silently took a breath as he felt his heart which had been suspended in anticipation, gradually settle back into their chest upon hearing the mention of Blood Rose.
However, his heart felt as if it were dipped in vinegar. It was irreversibly sour.
Olivia didn’t need him anymore. She had someone else to rely on and that person was even closer to her than he was.
He shifted his gaze away from the two of them with some difficulty. Olivia had never liked fighting and killing, so if they were to confront Double Dragon Court, it would undoubtedly lead to a bloody battle. However, this grudge couldn’t go unanswered, so she suggested catching Blood Rose and giving her a good beating. It was a solution that both families could accept.
He sighed silently, stood up from the ground, and said, “All right. Let’s go with that plan for now. We’re not the only ones looking for her. The police are also searching for her. She won’t be able to escape even if she has wings. It’s late. Everyone should go home and rest.”
After that, he took the lead and walked out, not even looking at Eugene, who wasn’t allowed to stay in Olivia’s room.
This surprised Eugene, as George had been ‘caring’ for him all this time. George had never once allowed him to go to his girlfriend’s room.
Those who knew about their rivalry thought of George as Eugene’s love rival, while those who didn’t know might have mistaken George for Eugene’s father-in-law.
Alex and Jewel also offered some words of comfort before leaving Olivia’s room.
At this moment, they all needed some mutual consolation.
Tonight had been far too dangerous. Not only did the injured woman need comfort, but the worried and frightened man also needed it.
Eugene had been regretting why he had only allowed Jewel to accompany Olivia and didn’t go himself. Otherwise, this incident wouldn’t have happened.
Although he knew that Blood Rose was targeting Jewel, his mindset was the same as his girlfriend’s. He didn’t blame her. Even if he set aside the good relationship between Jewel and Olivia, based on the fact that Jewel saved his mother, he wouldn’t utter any words of complaint. He could only blame himself, but when he saw the injured Olivia, he still felt distressed.
He held her tightly while wishing he could bear the pain for her. “Let me check your injuries.”
Olivia didn’t want him to see it. Although there were no wounds, her whole body was in pain, and it was inevitable that there would be bruises.
“It’s fine. They’re just external injuries. They’ll heal in a few days.”
She knew that Eugene would understand.
He coaxed her like a child. “Be good, Olivia. I’ll just take a look.”
He bent down and carried her.
She couldn’t resist him and didn’t force herself to put on a strong front. Instead, she obediently let him hold her and placed her on the bed.
Eugene guessed that she had been injured, but when he lifted her clothes, he froze in place as he was shocked by the sight of a large area of bruises littering her skin.
His gaze slowly swept over her body, which seemed to have been dyed with shades of red, blue, and purple. Various-colored bruises covered every part of her body and it looked incredibly painful.
He didn’t know how she had endured it at the time. His hand, which was holding onto her clothes, couldn’t bear to move as he was afraid of causing her any pain. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Still, tears welled up in his eyes in an instant, and his face showed clear signs of distress as he clenched his jaw. He would never allow the person who hurt her to go unpunished. Never!
