When Kate saw Eugene and Olivia again, she immediately felt the subtle changes between them. Although they didnât speak and Olivia didnât even look at Eugene, they both radiated a sweet atmosphere.
âJewel, why are you here?â Olivia was surprised to see Jewel. Kate explained on Jewelâs behalf with a smile, âSheâs worried, so I brought her over and Iâll send her back later.â Olivia grinned. âIâm fine. North is okay too.â
Jewel nodded and sat directly in front of Northâs hospital bed to touch his little face in distress. As Olivia also knew that Jewel couldnât speak, North hurriedly soothed, âDonât worry, Ms. Jewel. We are all fine!â
Kate said, âYou guys are alright, but we were almost in trouble. When we were on the way here, we were besieged by five big men. Luckily, Jewel was around. Otherwise, Nathan and I wonât be here right now.â Olivia was startled. âSomeone really tried to rob you?â
âYes!â Kate replied, âYou jinxed it!â
After that, Olivia hurriedly asked, âWhere did it happen?â How could she have thought that someone would rob them? The reason why she had previously said that was only because she wanted to matchmake Kate and Nathan. Who would have known that her words actually turned into a prophecy?
Kate answered, âIn the underground garage, but it seems like they were targeting Nathan.â When Eugene heard this, he frowned slightly, âWhat kind of people are they? Are they anyone from the Nolan Family?â
Nathan said, âThere were only five men, and I have never seen them before. They were all unfamiliar faces.â Then, Jewel typed on her cell phone. âAll of them had tattoos on their wrists. I think it was a tiger head.â
Once she was done typing, she handed her phone to Eugene. The manâs eyes narrowed immediately. âThey are members of The Quintets.â Nathan was incredulous. âWhy are the people from The Quintets trying to kidnap me?â
âTo threaten me,â Eugene answered. âTres is in my hands.â
At that, Nathan opened his mouth and wanted to say that they had really located the right person, but how effective would he be as a hostage to threaten Eugene? If they really wanted to threaten Eugene, then they should at least kidnap Olivia! What did they think that kidnapping me would do?
Little did he know that his uncleâs next words were even more heartbreaking. âThey know they canât catch Olivia, so they have shifted their target to you.â
Immediately, Nathan was speechless. Did this mean that Iâm easier to catch than Olivia? He glanced at his injured arm that he was holding. Well, I guess it is easier to catch me now...
Kate glanced at him. âLetâs go and get your arm checked first!â An obedient Nathan replied, âOkay.â After the two left, Olivia also looked at Jewel and said, âSince you have come to the hospital too, Iâll bring you to check on your throat.â
Jewel shook her head and typed on her mobile device. âNo, no need. Iâm already used to it. After all, whatâs the difference between a few more days? You should take care of the child.
As Olivia read the message, she broke into a smile and noted, âItâs fine. Eugene is here.â Eugene immediately responded, âYeah, Iâm right here. You both should head off.â
Jewel glanced at Eugene apologetically before she followed Olivia out. When they arrived at the otolaryngology department, Jewel took a CT scan before the otolaryngologist checked it again before asking her to try to make a little sound.
She tried her best to do so, but she couldnât make a sound at all. The otolaryngologist shook his head in regret. âHer vocal cords are severely damaged, which makes it a difficult recovery unless a miracle happens.â
When she listened to the doctorâs words, Jewel did not appear very pessimistic and seemed to have accepted this reality in resignation.
However, Olivia didnât want to just accept Jewelâs fate. She took the CT scan and looked at it before she casually asked, âWhat about visiting the TCM doctor?â
The doctor still shook his head. âItâs extremely difficult for her to recover.â In the next second, Olivia asked, âCan you lend me your pen for a while?â He was confused, but he still handed the pen in his hand to her.
