Chapter 1406 Pretense

Doreen's tears rolled down her cheeks all the way into the pillow. At the same time, her

face was written with an expression of joy and gratitude because she was already more

than happy if she could talk. Deep down, Doreen wanted to ask who Olivia was and why

she looked so much like Blanchett. She then tried her best to make a sound from her

throat. "T-Thank… you…"

"Godmother, do you mean thank you?" Albert asked, finally able to hear what Doreen was

trying to say in a clearer manner this time.

Doreen nodded.

Albert was overwhelmed by excitement, nearly bursting into tears. "Alright, I'll thank Miss

Maxwell for you, but can you see this, Godmother? There is hope for your recovery! Oh my

god! I'm going to tell Alice about this tomorrow. She's going to be so happy about this." He

then turned to Olivia and expressed his gratitude on Doreen's behalf. "My godmother

would like me to thank you."

"Don't mention it," Olivia responded courteously, happy and glad for Doreen's positive

progress.

Meanwhile, Hugh had already left to prepare the medicine while Olivia and Eugene were

busy removing and putting away the needles. Thus, the medicine was ready to be served

at that point.

"Here comes the medication." Hugh carefully walked in with a bowl that contained the

medicine in his hands.

Albert reached out for the bowl, but Hugh dodged his hand. "Let me do it!"

"Fine." Albert agreed after a brief moment of hesitation.

Having been used to caring for Doreen, Albert skillfully helped her sit up straight and

raised the bed lever after that. After that, he gently fed Doreen the medicine, holding the

bowl right before her.

As Doreen sipped the medicine, Hugh smiled and asked, "Doesn't it taste bitter this time?"

Doreen only responded by looking at Olivia without saying a single word. The reason she

found her medication bitter before was that she didn't think it would help improve her

condition at all. While she didn't have much hope for what her medication would do, she

was more hopeful now than ever before.

After Doreen took her medication, Olivia and Eugene finally left the Governor General's

residence. On their way out of the place, Albert couldn't stop excitedly expressing his

gratitude to the couple. "I'm going to tell Alice about this tomorrow. She is probably going

to be so happy that she'll want to see you."

"No need for that. We came here out of goodwill and for the sake of our friendship.

Furthermore, the Queen must have a lot to deal with, and I don't think we should bother

her for something trivial." Olivia pondered thought for a moment and replied.

"Did you just say this is trivial? No, it isn't. Alice cares about my godmother's condition

more than anyone else does. Don't worry, she is not a tyrant," Albert said, to which Olivia

had nothing to say.

The next day, Albert left early in the morning, seemingly so busy that he didn't even have

time to accompany them. For that, he told River to show Eugene and Olivia around.

Bored with their idle stay in Albert's residence, Eugene and Olivia decided to tag along

with River, who took them to the most famous attraction spots in Eurosia. Then, Olivia

bought a lot of toys for her children while Eugene held the shopping bags and the

umbrella for her as if she were a child.

When it finally reached the afternoon, they returned to Albert's residence, where they saw

a car parked at the entrance. At the same time, they also noticed a woman standing in

front of the gate with four bodyguards standing behind her. At that very moment, she

appeared to be talking to the guards of Albert's residence angrily.

"I guess word got out pretty fast. We just treated the Governor General's illness yesterday,

and here she is today." River sneered sarcastically.

Olivia looked closer at the woman in front of her, noticing her royal outfit and delicate

crown that helped her give off an elegant, feminine aura. Judging from her appearance,

Olivia believed she was one of the noble members. "Who is she? Beatrix Bleu?" She turned

to River and asked.

Surprised by Olivia's keen observation, River nodded in agreement. "Yes, that's her. Every

time there was a doctor who came here to see the Governor General, she would be here

to see how good the doctor was for herself. While it may look like they're concerned with

the doctor's capability, they are instead worried that the Governor General will recover. In

fact, they were never this rebellious and audacious before at all, but ever since the

Governor General fell ill, they've slowly revealed their true colors." River told Olivia the

truth, believing Olivia since Albert didn't keep them in the dark about anything. Especially

after witnessing the wonders Olivia's acupuncture treatment did on Doreen, River became

even more convinced that Olivia and Eugene were people whom they could place their

faith in.
