Chapter 1401 A Game of Patience

At that moment, River came over and greeted the others courteously. "Good morning, Mr. Nolan, Miss

Maxwell. Mr. Bleu has gone to City Palace, but before he left, he told me to make sure you guys get

some rest. Later, he'll be back to pick you all up to visit the Governor General."

Olivia responded with an affirmative hum. Despite River's usual disrespectful attitude, she somehow

felt a sense of familiarity when she saw the same old face she was once used to.

When River told them that they had to wait for a while, they thought he meant an hour or two, but as

time went by, they ended up waiting from dawn until dusk. During the process of waiting, River also

came over a few times just to tell them that they had to keep waiting because Albert was busy.

Meanwhile, Olivia, who was already experiencing fluctuations in her emotions due to her pregnancy,

felt even more annoyed and impatient at the thought that she had to waste the whole day waiting for

Albert. Because of that, her patience slowly wore thin, not to mention the fact that she was not a mild-

mannered lady in the first place. If we can't see Albert today, we're probably going to have to stay here

for one more day, but our child is still sick back home. So, why exactly is this guy making us wait here

like fools?!

The thought of that made Olivia more impatient and irritable. Then, when River came over once again

to tell them that they might have to wait a little longer, Olivia lost her cool and vented out her anger on

him.

"What's the meaning of all this nonsense?! What's taking Albert so long? Is he still going to entertain us

or what?!"

Instead of reacting with anger like he usually would, River responded by explaining patiently. "I'm sorry,

Miss Maxwell. I understand your frustration, but I'm sure the reason Mr. Bleu can't come right now is

because he is occupied by something. Please bear with us for a little while more. I'll check out his

current status for you right now."

Soon, Eugene stepped in and comforted Olivia. "Relax, Olivia. You know they haven't been back for a

while. Maybe they're busy handling some important matters that we don't know about. So, just take it

easy, would you? Everything is going to be okay."

Although Eugene might sound like he was defending Albert, he was actually worried about his wife

because he didn't want her anger to take a toll on her health.

It was when the clock struck six in the evening that Albert finally showed up at the door as he walked

into the room in a hurry. As soon as he saw Olivia and Eugene sitting on the couch, he immediately

apologized to them. "Look, I'm so sorry to have kept you both waiting for so long because I had a lot on

my plate today. In fact, I was originally planning to bring you both to my godmother in the afternoon, but

those people somehow found out that I brought the genius doctor with me. Worried that they might stir

up some unwanted trouble, I intentionally stalled in an attempt to frustrate them."

Although Olivia felt less angry, she still couldn't help but complain to Albert. "Do you know how precious

my time is? You made me wait for the whole day for nothing. Why did you tell us that you’d be back

soon when you knew you were so busy? Or do you have a different definition for 'soon,' which means

the whole day?"

Albert gave an apologetic smile and replied, "Yes. Yes, it's my fault. I thought it shouldn't take me long

until I took care of the issue, but to my surprise, they were even more patient than I thought they would

be. For that, I apologize for having wasted your precious time. If you're not tired, shall I take you to my

godmother right now?"

"How about tomorrow?" Eugene appeared worried.

"Nah, let's get this over with! I'd rather get the job done right now than worry about an unfinished

business." Olivia made herself heard, standing up on her feet while speaking. "I'll get my bag, and we'll

be good to go."

Upon hearing that, Shannon joined the conversation and said, "It's alright, Olivia. Just stay where you

are. I'll get the bag for you." After finishing her sentence, she went upstairs straight away and returned

shortly after with a black bag.

"Let's go then!" Olivia said.

Seeing that, Albert couldn't help but feel a little flattered. "Sure, come with me."

The Governor General's residence of Eurosia was actually just ten minutes away from Albert's

residence. However, the Governor General's residence had an older and more decrepit appearance

than Albert's manor did, especially evident in the courtyard's traditional-looking structure. Apart from

the tight security there, the place was surrounded by tall and fortified gates that showed very little about

the courtyard's interior unless they were open.

Not long after Albert knocked on the gate, the courtyard's entrance was slowly opened, whereupon two

guards, who were seen with blue uniforms, came into view and greeted Albert respectfully. "Mr. Bleu!"

"This is Doctor Bailey, also known as the genius doctor, whom I've brought to look into my godmother's

condition," Albert said.

"I see. Mr. Plumpton told us about that. Please come in." The two guards took a step back and made

way for them.

Olivia raised her eyebrows doubtfully, finding it hard to believe that things were going smoother than

expected.

As Olivia and Eugene were about to walk through the gate, the two guards suddenly stood in Eugene's

way. "Sorry, Sir. Only Doctor Bailey is allowed to go in."

"She is my wife, and I will go in with her." Eugene appeared unhappy with what he heard.
