Chapter 1224 Deep Love
Jewel's words almost caused Alex to die of heartbreak. He was the root of all this mess.
How could she take the blame for all the mistakes that happened in the past?
He shook his head and embraced her, saying earnestly, "No, it's not your fault. I didn't
believe you in the beginning, so that's why my mom forced you to leave. Even if I died, I
deserved it. You're not allowed to feel guilty at all, you hear that? My Jewel is so amazing
that I haven't even loved her enough. If you behave like this, it'll only make me feel
worse!"
Olivia looked at the embracing couple, both speechless and exasperated. Even at times
like this, they were trying to show off their love.
What the hell?
Olivia was starting to miss her boyfriend as well.
"Can you two wait a little before you start writing love poems to each other? Let's nullify
the poison first, all right? Come on, why is no one serious about this?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Jewel heard that, she hastily pushed Alex away. "Yes, hurry up. I told you that you
should let Olivia have a look at it last night. It might not have gotten this serious then."
"I never thought that it would be this serious. I just thought it was a normal weapon." As
Alex spoke, he suddenly remembered what they just said. "Phantom? That's the woman
who trapped you in the fire, right?"
Jewel replied, "Yes, it was her and another woman named Blood Rose."
Alex was fuming. "That damn woman! I should've just killed her. Jewel, don't worry, I swear
I'll avenge you."
Jewel smiled as she responded obediently, "Okay."
Alex thought for a moment before asking, "According to you guys, Phantom and Blood
Rose are still in Double Dragon Court, so they probably have important positions in the
organization. Why would they personally take on a mission as trivial as killing Damian?"
Jewel frowned, deep in thought. "Maybe she knows that I didn't die. Perhaps she wanted
Damian to shut up because she didn't want you to know that she was the one who
assassinated me back then."
Alex replied, "That's possible. However, since Damian had already met you and me, how
could he not say anything? Perhaps he was using this as a bargaining chip to threaten the
higher-ups in the casino to aid him."
Olivia said, "Ask North to figure out who the higher-up in the casino is, then investigate
Damian."
When Jewel heard that, she instantly realized something. "We said last night that we
would ask North to investigate this incident today. I was so focused on asking you to check
the wound that I forgot about that. I'll look for North right away."
With that, she hastily went to North's room.
Only Olivia and Alex remained in the living room now.
Olivia sighed lightly. "I never thought that Jewel would go so far for you."
Alex's gaze was trained vacantly at the door Jewel had just gone through. He muttered,
"Yes, I never expected that either. There are many instances when I feel like I love her
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmore than she loves me, but now I realize that her love isn't any less than mine!"
Olivia got some sterile gauze and bandaged his neck once again.
"Truth to be told, Jewel hates men even more than I do. Even though she cannot
remember what happened back then, I think she hates men because of the trauma she
endured before she lost her memories. Even then, she can still accept you, so I'm very
glad to know that. You should treat her better and never lie to her."
Alex looked at her. He didn't dare to respond nonchalantly. Instead, he nodded and said, "I
understand."
Olivia didn't say more. After all, this concerned their relationship, so she shouldn't say
much as an outsider. She changed the topic. "Let me see the wound on your waist."
Alex said, "This wound isn't that deep either."
Despite saying that, he still angled his body so that Olivia could take a look at it.
Olivia undid the bandages and looked at the injury. It wasn't deep, but it wasn't shallow
either. It was similar to Jewel's injury last time.
"I'll apply some powdered medicine I made to help it heal faster. Eugene used the same
powder last time."
Alex said, "Okay. Is the wound on my neck really that serious? Why don't I feel anything?"
