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

want 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 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

not 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.
