    Chapter 1224 Deep Love


    Jewel’s words almost caused Alex to die of heartbreak. He was the root of all this mess.


    How could she take the me for all the mistakes that happened in the past?


    He shook his head and embraced her, saying earnestly, “No, it’s not your fault. I didn’t believe you in


    the beginning, so that’s why my mom forced you to leave. Even if I died, I deserved it. You’re not


    allowed to feel guilty at all, you hear that? My Jewel is so amazing that I haven’t even loved her


    enough. If you behave like this, it’ll only make me feel worse!”


    Olivia looked at the embracing couple, both speechless and exasperated. Even at times like this, they


    were trying to show off their love.


    What the hell?


    Olivia was starting to miss her boyfriend as well.


    “Can you two wait a little before you start writing love poems to each other? Let’s nullify the poison first,


    all right? Come on, why is no one serious about this?”


    When Jewel heard that, she hastily pushed Alex away. “Yes, hurry up. I told you that you should let


    Olivia have a look at itst night. It might not have gotten this serious then.”


    “I never thought that it would be this serious. I just thought it was a normal weapon.” As Alex spoke, he


    suddenly remembered what they just said. “Phantom? That’s the woman who trapped you in the fire,


    right?”


    Jewel replied, “Yes, it was her and another woman named Blood Rose.”


    Alex was fuming. “That damn woman! I should’ve just killed her. Jewel, don’t worry, I swear I’ll avenge


    you.”


    Jewel smiled as she responded obediently, “Okay.”


    Alex thought for a moment before asking, “ording to you guys, Phantom and Blood Rose are still in


    Double Dragon Court, so they probably have important positions in the organization. Why would they


    personally take on a mission as trivial as killing Damian?”


    Jewel frowned, deep in thought. “Maybe she knows that I didn’t die. Perhaps she wanted Damian to


    shut up because she didn’t want you to know that she was the one who assassinated me back then.”


    Alex replied, “That’s possible. However, since Damian had already met you and me, how could he not


    say anything? Perhaps he was using this as a bargaining chip to threaten the higher-ups in the casino


    to aid him.”


    Olivia said, “Ask North to figure out who the higher-up in the casino is, then investigate Damian.”


    When Jewel heard that, she instantly realized something. “We saidst night that we would ask North


    to investigate this incident today. I was so focused on asking you to check the wound that I forgot about


    that. I’ll look for North right away.”


    With that, she hastily went to North’s room.


    Only Olivia and Alex remained in the living room now.


    Olivia sighed lightly. “I never thought that Jewel would go so far for you.”


    Alex’s gaze was trained vacantly at the door Jewel had just gone through. He muttered, “Yes, I never


    expected that either. There are many instances when I feel like I love her more than she loves me, but


    now I realize that her love isn’t any less than mine!”


    Olivia got some sterile gauze and bandaged his neck once again.


    “Truth to be told, Jewel hates men even more than I do. Even though she cannot remember what


    happened back then, I think she hates men because of the trauma she endured before she lost her


    memories. Even then, she can still ept you, so I’m very d to know that. You should treat her


    better and never lie to her.”


    Alex looked at her. He didn’t dare to respond nonchntly. Instead, he nodded and said, “I


    understand.”


    Olivia didn’t say more. After all, this concerned their rtionship, so she shouldn’t say much as an


    outsider. She changed the topic. “Let me see the wound on your waist.”


    Alex said, “This wound isn’t that deep either.”


    Despite saying that, he still angled his body so that Olivia could take a look at it.

    Olivia undid the bandages and looked at the injury. It wasn’t deep, but it wasn’t shallow either. It was


    simr to Jewel’s injuryst time.


    “I’ll apply some powdered medicine I made to help it heal faster. Eugene used the same powderst


    time.”


    Alex said, “Okay. Is the wound on my neck really that serious? Why don’t I feel anything?”
