Chapter 1466 Lovers
Olivia exchanged a puzzled look with Alice.
In theory, Doreen wasn't someone who easily shed tears, even if Hugh had been injured
while saving her. While it was natural to be grateful, it seemed like her reaction was too
emotional.
Alice gave Olivia a subtle look and then sat beside Doreen to comfort her. "Godmother,
don't worry, Mr. Plumpton will be fine. He just needs a few days to recuperate. You don't
have to be too concerned."
Doreen nodded slightly in acknowledgment, yet the worry in her eyes remained.
"You guys go back. I'll stay here with him."
Olivia and Alice exchanged glances. There was no way they would leave her here alone.
"Godmother, you're injured and need rest. There will be people here to take care of him.
We'll come back tomorrow."

However, Doreen was obstinate. "I'll stay and watch over him."
At that, Alice considered the situation and compromised. "Godmother, how about this?
We'll let you stay alone with Mr. Plumpton for a while, but you must go back to rest
tonight. Not only is it important for your health, but also Olivia. She's pregnant, and she
won't leave if you don't. You need to go back."
At last, Alice convinced Doreen, who looked at Olivia, and responded, "Okay."
With that, the group left the ward and found a separate room to rest in.
After noticing Olivia's curiosity, Alice chuckled and asked, "You're curious about Mr.
Plumpton and Godmother's relationship, aren't you?"
"Isn't he her bodyguard?" Olivia furrowed her brows.
Meanwhile, Eugene silently observed the sisters' conversation.
Eugene just watched the two sisters chat without saying a word.
In actuality, he would be silent and non-aggressive like this most of the time until
something threatened Olivia, which explained why Hugh and Beatrix would think of him as
just Olivia's boy toy.
Wanting Eugene to join in the discussion, Alice smiled at him. "Eugene, what do you think
their relationship is?"
"Lovers, I suppose," he guessed, surprising Olivia. "Lovers? How did you figure that out?"
Eugene said, "It's in their eyes."
However, Olivia was skeptical. "I didn't see it."
Eugene chuckled lightly, "All you see is your godmother."
Alice chuckled in response. "Well, it's not quite at the level of lovers, but they do like each
other. However, they haven't officially acknowledged their feelings. Hugh had a crush on
Godmother since he was young, and to be closer to her, he climbed up the ranks from an
unknown soldier to his current position. He has never left her side since then. Even when
Mother offered him higher positions, he declined. Later, Mother saw his affection for
Godmother and wanted to arrange a marriage for them, but Godmother refused."
"Why? Doesn't she like him?" Olivia exclaimed in shock, leading Alice to explain, "It's not
that she didn't like him, but maybe she didn't want too many emotional attachments.
Godmother was sent for training at a very young age, with the sole purpose of protecting

was ever in danger, Godmother had to die before her. Every prince and princess of Eurosia
has one.
"But Mother never treated her as just a 'martyr.' She treated her like a sister. When she
was thirteen, some other death's hands plotted against her and threw her into a river. At
that time, she couldn't swim. Mother jumped in to save her, but the river was too deep,
and they nearly drowned. They pulled them both out of the water when those people
realized that Mother had jumped in to save her out of fear of being punished.
After they were safe, Mother and Godmother became sworn sisters, and Mother even
asked Grandmother to give her the surname Bleu. Since then, Godmother has been
wholeheartedly devoted to Mother, and she even worried that falling in love with someone
would make her weak and jeopardize Mother's safety. She vowed never to marry and
stayed with Mother. After Mother's passing, she continued to assist me, so she simply
didn't have time for romantic relationships. Godmother knew about Hugh's feelings for her
and trusted him the most. Hugh also understood her concerns, so he accompanied her
without complaint. While their relationship may not be as passionate as some, it's a
profound, enduring bond."
