Chapter 975 Phony

It was already past 10.00PM by the time Eugene and Olivia arrived at the airport, and they had just entered when

Olivia spotted Azalea who was waiting by the entrance. She was still just as stunning and meek, and she seemed a

little pitiful as she waited alone by the entrance.

Before they could approach her, Azalea had already noticed them, and she shouted excitedly, "Eugene!"

With Olivia's hand in his, Eugene walked toward Azalea and stopped in front of her. "Why are you here?"

Azalea gently nibbled on her lower lip without saying anything, but a tear slowly rolled down her cheek. At that,

Eugene and Olivia exchanged a shocked look. "What's wrong?"

Azalea glanced at Olivia, hesitating to speak.

Noticing her apprehension, Eugene hurriedly explained, "This is my girlfriend, Olivia Maxwell. You can just say

whatever you want."

Azalea nodded, greeting her, "Nice to meet you."

Olivia responded with a smile, "Nice to meet you too."

However, Azalea didn't continue to speak, most likely only wanting to speak to Eugene.

Tactfully, Olivia decided to give them some privacy. "I'll go and get the car. The two of you can chat."

She was about to leave when Eugene grabbed her, stopping her from walking away. "Hold on. Let's go together."

With that, he took the luggage from Azalea's hand. "Come on, let's go and look for a place to grab a bite."

Azalea said, "I'm not hungry."

"We haven't eaten yet." Upon saying that, Eugene headed toward the exit with Olivia's hand in his left hand and the

luggage in the right.

She was planning to walk next to them, but she was left behind before she knew it.

Just then, Olivia noticed that she was limping and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with your leg?"

Azalea shook her head. "It's nothing."

However, Eugene suddenly recalled that her leg had been hurt, and he turned around to ask her in a concerned

tone, "Are you all right?"

She lifted her gaze to look at him, and though she remained silent, her teary eyes seemed to say, 'What will you do

if I'm not?'

He jolted, realizing that Olivia might get jealous if he carried Azalea.

Just as he was racking his brains for a solution, Olivia suddenly spoke up. "I'll help you."

Then, she walked over and wrapped her arm around Azalea's.

Azalea smiled and said, "Thank you."

"It's nothing. You're Eugene's friend, which makes you my friend as well. If Eugene isn't free in the future, you can

just come to me," Olivia replied.

In other words, she was hinting at Azalea to stop going to her boyfriend without a good reason.

However, Azalea looked at her and smiled. "Okay."

Eugene first took Azalea to an inn to leave her things before he brought them to a restaurant. After they were

seated, he resumed their earlier conversation. "What happened to you?"

Hearing that, Azalea lowered her head again, a feeling of despair descending upon her, and it seemed to take her a

large amount of effort before she could suppress her distress.

With an uneasy look at Olivia, she paused for a beat before saying softly, "Hayes found evidence of my father

committing treason and sent many of his elite troops to capture him. My father resisted in the process, and he

accidentally took a bullet from one of the soldiers."

Eugene found the sudden information hard to believe. "Your father is… dead?"

Azalea nodded, her tears gushing down her face. "If I hadn't been hurt, I would've definitely convinced my father

not to resist. Even if he would be locked up by Hayes, at least he'll still be alive, right? It's all because of my useless

legs…"

Through her sobs, she began to hit her legs.

At first, Olivia was sympathizing with Azalea, but after hearing her explanation and seeing the remorseful

expression on Eugene's face, she immediately caught on. Wasn't Azalea putting pressure on Eugene? He had

already felt like he owed her, and now that she phrased things in this way, he would think that Sirius' death was

connected to him.

Tch, so she's just a little phony! She looked at Azalea and advised, "Alright, you shouldn't blame yourself. Your father

died because he was convicted of committing treason, not because you didn't rescue him in time. Even if you were

able to make it there in time, you might not have been able to persuade your father. If you could, then you

would've persuaded him not to rebel, right? You can't save those who are gone, so don't be too sad. Fortunately,

Hayes is a just and upright ruler, so he won't blame you."
