Unfinished Business with You

Chapter 1430

Chapter 1430 Identity

"Mr. Nolan, I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused to both of you. Alice needs this opportunity to grow. So, I waited at the palace gate for a while before going in," Hugh apologized awkwardly, realizing that Eugene was indeed angry with him.

Eugene exuded a chilly aura, and his voice was cold as he said, "You should have seen what Shannon brought to you and the message she delivered. Then, you should also know Olivia's identity. You let her, a pregnant woman who traveled a long way to come here to treat General Bleu, be wronged, insulted, and humiliated in your palace. If she comes into any harm, not only you but even your dearest General Bleu won't be able to bear the consequences!"

Only now did Hugh feel shocked. Olivia was pregnant? Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Thus, he hurriedly defended himself, saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Nolan. I didn't know Miss Maxwell was pregnant. I'm sorry. I made that decision without consulting anyone. General Bleu didn't instruct me to do any of the sort. Alice has been under my care since she was a child, so I just wanted to give her a chance to learn."

Eugene's face turned extremely ugly. "Is this how you treat someone who is not pregnant? Do we have to accompany your Queen in order to give her a chance to grow into her position? You..."

He wanted to say something else, but Olivia grabbed his arm.

Then, she shook her head at him and said, "Forget it."

Although she was also furious, she could easily let go of her anger as long as someone stood up for her.

She didn't expect this man to be so shrewd. He had already informed Doreen through Shannon about their visit to the palace before they even stepped foot in that place.

No wonder she didn't see her adoption certificate in the bag.

The adoption certificate was very detailed, and if Doreen knew the details of Blanchett losing her, Doreen would definitely know who she actually was.

Eugene looked at Olivia with a heartache and embraced her tightly.

He wouldn't have agreed to visit if he had known that this would happen.

Hugh looked at them guilty and mumbled, "I'm sorry."

Neither of them paid any attention to him.

In truth, they weren't as angry with Hugh as they were with Albert. Even though he was on Albert's side, he still helped them out without hesitation today.

Still, at least he showed up, which was much better than Albert's indecision.

No one knew how anxious Eugene was when he didn't see the Governor General's subordinates. He thought Shannon hadn't been able to enter the residence.

Even though he was far from useless, he was still worried that he couldn't protect the woman in his arms when he was forced to face those palace guards. If she came to any harm, it wouldn't just be her and the child in her belly who would lose their lives. Both he and Blake wouldn't be able to survive the loss!

At this moment, he was filled with fury but didn't know how to vent his anger. So, he used his ire as fuel as he sent a message to Shannon, asking her to hire more bodyguards, as many as possible!

This time, both he and Olivia were fools to have wrongly placed their trust in someone so lacking.

Nonetheless, they soon arrived at the Governor General's residence.

The two followed Hugh and went straight to Doreen's room.

Doreen immediately gestured for the servant to push her wheelchair out. When she saw them coming in, she was extremely excited and kept mumbling something, even going as far as to try to grab onto Olivia. Alas, she could only raise her hand and failed to lift her arm.

Olivia instantly approached her and squatted beside her, smiling, "General Bleu."

Doreen tried hard to say something, but her lips failed to form the words she desperately wanted to say. Tears of frustration instantly rolled down her face.

Olivia smiled and wiped away her tears before saying gently, "General Bleu, please try to stay calm. The more anxious you are, the harder it is to speak."

Doreen nodded and touched Olivia's hand. She held it tightly as she tried to calm herself down.

After a while, she looked at Olivia's adoption certificate on the bed and asked with difficulty, "Who... are... you?"
