Chapter 1236 How Ungrateful!
Jewel chuckled. “Okay.”
Olivia asked, “How are Phantom’s skills? Did she improve?”
Jewel scoffed in disdain. “Improve? I think she has gotten worse than when we were around. Maybe she stopped trying so hard after gaining her status. I finished her soon enough.”
Olivia asked, “Didn’t she use her darts on you?”
Jewel pouted. “Of course, she did. However, I was on constant guard against her darts. I dodged all the darts she threw at me. It was scary, but I’m fine.”
Olivia smiled as she gave Jewel a thumbs-up. However, she still scanned Jewel from head to toe, making sure that the latter was truly fine before saying, “Let me have a look at the antidote.”
Jewel took out a red bottle. “This is the antidote. I don’t know what the others are for.”
Olivia scooted closer to take a whiff, but Jewel stopped her. “Don’t smell it. What if you get poisoned?”
Olivia patted Jewel comfortingly. “It’s okay. Let me analyze its ingredients so that we can replicate it. It’s only fair that we do unto her what she did unto us.”
“Can you do it too?”
“How hard can it be? I’m not as immoral as she is, that’s all.”
Jewel was excited. “Then you can expand your research. Maybe make something that we can apply to our bodies to protect ourselves. The sort that won’t take lives, but will impair someone’s ability to fight.”
Olivia thought about it and said, “All right, I’ll look into that. But for now, I should save your boyfriend’s life.”
Jewel said, “Don’t tell him that I went to Phantom’s place.”
Olivia teased her. “Is that how much you like him? So much so that you even want to hide this from him?”
Jewel’s face reddened in embarrassment as she glared at Olivia. “It’s over now, so why make him worry?”
Olivia chuckled. “All right, I’ll stop teasing you. Hurry and get your boyfriend here!”
Jewel said, “Okay. I’ll check if he has woken up.”
With that, she went straight to Alex’s room. He was still sleeping.
When Olivia entered, she smiled and teased, “Feels good to be served, doesn’t it?”
Alex glanced at Jewel. “It does. If possible, I’m fine with lying like this forever.”
Olivia rolled her eyes in exasperation. “You’re even thinking of lying down forever? Do you want Jewel and me to serve you all your life?”
“I was just trying to prove a point.”
“That won’t do. You should recover as soon as you can. Even if you don’t mind it, I do.”
“How can I not mind it? Are you the type who can’t see couples getting all lovey-dovey just because your boyfriend isn’t here?”
Olivia looked coldly at him. “How ungrateful! Without my help, how can you two even be together?”
Alex reached up and slapped his mouth. “Sorry, I shouldn’t have said that. I will always remember your kindness.”
Olivia snorted haughtily. “Fine, I’ll let you off for Jewel’s sake. If not…”
She chuckled twice, and Alex felt his hairs stand on end when he heard it.
“What? Are you trying to sow discord?” As Alex spoke, he took Jewel’s hand as if he were seriously afraid that Jewel would leave him.
