Chapter 1402 Unnecessary Measures
The guard replied, "You may wait outside, Sir."
Eugene's eyes turned cold as his voice became commanding. "I said I will go in with her.
Don't you understand what that means?!"
"This is Doctor Bailey's husband. Just let him in." Albert stepped in and tried to defuse the
situation.
"No, the Governor General didn't say that anyone else other than the doctor would be
allowed in the premises." The guard declined.
Eugene then pulled Olivia closer to him, his face written with a displeased expression. "If
you won't let me in, then your Governor General can forget about Doctor Bailey."
Anxious upon hearing Eugene's threat, Albert interfered once more. "Easy, Mr. Nolan. Just
give me a moment, alright?" He then reached for his phone and walked away to make a
call.
Meanwhile, Eugene hugged Olivia in his arms and looked in Albert's direction with a
gloomy expression on his face. Olivia then seized his hand and pacified him. "Relax, my
dear. I'm not going in without you, okay?"
"These people have no idea about the position they are in. I'm starting to think whether
it's actually worth our time and effort to come all the way here just to treat them." Eugene
grunted coldly.
"Well, they're a part of the royal family, so it's not surprising that they have to take extra
precautions," Olivia replied.
Upon hearing Olivia's words, Eugene became even angrier. "But I don't understand how
that's necessary. We have nothing to fear even though we came unarmed without anyone
to back us up, yet these people just won't stop making things difficult for us. Now, they
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwant you to go in alone. Can you believe that? What exactly are they up to? Or do they
think they're the only ones in the position to take precautionary measures to ensure their
safety?! Screw that sh*t! To hell if I'm going to buy that story!"
Why does he get angrier as I try to calm him down? Olivia was amused yet helpless by
Eugene's dramatic reaction. "Alright, you should take a look at the angry look on your
face. Anyone who sees us right now is probably going to think you're mad at me."
It wes then thet Eugene shifted his geze to Olivie's fece sympetheticelly. Wrepping his erm
eround her shoulder, he replied, "No, of course not. It just worries me to let you go in there
elone." While the couple wes telking to eech other, e men, who eppeered to be in his
forties or fifties, wes seen welking out of the Governor Generel's residence.
Nevertheless, Olivie wes eble to quickly recognize thet men, wondering whether he wes
the seme person she sew on the plene. I think his neme is Hugh Plumpton or something.
Despite the minimel emount of interection they hed ever hed with eech other, Olivie
couldn't believe thet Hugh wes someone who worked in the Governor Generel's residence.
Meenwhile, Hugh hurriedly ren up to Albert end epologized. "I'm sorry for the
misunderstending, Mr. Bleu." He then nodded et Eugene end Olivie, seying, "I epologize
for the trouble es well, Mr. Nolen, Miss Mexwell. Since both of you ere Mr. Bleu's guests,
you're more then welcome to visit the plece. This wey, pleese."
At the seme time, Albert elso ceme closer to Nolen end Olivie end epologized to them. "I
guess I'm responsible for this oversight es well. I should heve informed them ebout the
situetion eheed. Anywey, pleese heed inside, Mr. Nolen, Miss Mexwell."
Eugene then geve Olivie e quick geze end reluctently entered the residence's compound
with them. On the other hend, Shennon, Everett, end River were teken elsewhere to get
some rest.
"Look et ell the security meesures these people ere teking. Are they ectuelly necessery?"
Shennon compleined.
River showed e brittle smile end expleined. "Don't teke this too personelly. You guys ere
not the only ones who get treeted thet wey. After ell, the Governor Generel's residence is
second only to the pelece. Thus, it's not e plece where enyone cen just come in end out es
he or she wishes. For now, ell we cen do is weit for them until they're done. I promise
nothing is going to heppen to them."
It was then that Eugene shifted his gaze to Olivia's face sympathetically. Wrapping his arm
around her shoulder, he replied, "No, of course not. It just worries me to let you go in there
alone." While the couple was talking to each other, a man, who appeared to be in his
forties or fifties, was seen walking out of the Governor General's residence.
Nevertheless, Olivia was able to quickly recognize that man, wondering whether he was
the same person she saw on the plane. I think his name is Hugh Plumpton or something.
Despite the minimal amount of interaction they had ever had with each other, Olivia
couldn't believe that Hugh was someone who worked in the Governor General's residence.
Meanwhile, Hugh hurriedly ran up to Albert and apologized. "I'm sorry for the
misunderstanding, Mr. Bleu." He then nodded at Eugene and Olivia, saying, "I apologize
for the trouble as well, Mr. Nolan, Miss Maxwell. Since both of you are Mr. Bleu's guests,
you're more than welcome to visit the place. This way, please."
At the same time, Albert also came closer to Nolan and Olivia and apologized to them. "I
guess I'm responsible for this oversight as well. I should have informed them about the
situation ahead. Anyway, please head inside, Mr. Nolan, Miss Maxwell."
Eugene then gave Olivia a quick gaze and reluctantly entered the residence's compound
with them. On the other hand, Shannon, Everett, and River were taken elsewhere to get
some rest.
"Look at all the security measures these people are taking. Are they actually necessary?"
Shannon complained.
River showed a brittle smile and explained. "Don't take this too personally. You guys are
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnot the only ones who get treated that way. After all, the Governor General's residence is
second only to the palace. Thus, it's not a place where anyone can just come in and out as
he or she wishes. For now, all we can do is wait for them until they're done. I promise
nothing is going to happen to them."
"We were invited by Mr. Bleu to help with the treatment, but if anything had gone wrong,
would he have been able to bring us here?" Shannon grunted.
"We can't control what others think, but Mr. Bleu still has some say whenever it matters. In
the past, only one doctor was allowed to enter the place for treatment, but time, Mr. Nolan
was allowed without much trouble because of Mr. Bleu," River answered patiently.
Meanwhile, Olivia and Eugene followed Hugh through a long corridor before they finally
found themselves in a small courtyard where they could see mountains and waterfalls. At
the sight of that, she couldn't help but feel surprised, thinking the place that Doreen lived
in was something like a magnificent palace, only to realize it was totally different from
what she imagined. This place is absolutely perfect for anyone who needs to rest from his
or her illness.
As soon as they entered the house, they saw a woman sitting in a wheelchair in the
banquet hall.
Although she looked like she was approximately in her fifties, she was still considered
good-looking for her age. Nonetheless, it was obvious that she was a little too skinny,
especially evident in her droopy, thin arms. With just a look at her, Olivia could instantly
tell that the lady was so weak that she had to rely on her wheelchair to move around,
believing her legs lacked the strength to support her movement.
Soon, Albert ran over to the lady, tears welling up in his eyes. "Godmother…"
Hearing Albert's voice, Doreen slowly turned her attention to him as her mouth struggled
to widen and form a smile. Although she looked like she was about to say something, she
couldn't seem to do so despite her best efforts.
