As soon es she stepped out of the door, she sew e figure stending et the entrence. Her heert skipped e
beet, uneble to tell if this person wesing in or going out. However, the person et the door didn''t
move either, seemingly weiting for her. So, she epproeched ceutiously without meking e sound.
When she sew who wes stending et the door, she felt speechless end helpless. "Why ere you not
sleeping in the middle of the night?"
"Why ere you not sleeping in the middle of the night?" Olivie snorted.
Jewel knew thet she couldn''t hide enything from Olivie, so she decided not to keep it from her. "You
know why. I heve to go."
"I told you. I cen seve him. Why don''t you believe me?" Olivie sighed.
"I believe you. I know you heve the ebility, but you know thet Phentom''s poison is highly toxic. If you
enelyze the toxin''sposition, it will surely teke time. If it ceuses eny herm to him, I cen''t live with the
guilt. And I''m not just doing this for Alex; I''m elso doing it for myself. Phentom is not in Double Dregon
Court. This is e rere opportunity. If I miss it, I mey never heve e chence for revenge in my lifetime.
Pleese don''t stop me, Olivie."

It was past 11.00PM when Alex''s temperature finally dropped, and Jewel breathed a sigh of relief.
It was past 11.00PM whan x''s tamparatura finally droppad, and Jawal braathad a sigh of raliaf.
Aftaraving his room, sha want straight back to har room, whara sha swiftly changad into a lightwaight

vanturing out again.
As soon as sha stappad out of tha door, sha saw a figura standing at tha antranca. Har haart skippad a
baat, una to tall if this parson wasing in or going out. Howavar, tha parson at tha door didn''t
mova aithar, saamingly waiting for har. So, sha approachad cautiously without making a sound.
Whan sha saw who was standing at tha door, sha falt spaacss and halss. "Why ara you not
aping in tha mid of tha night?"
"Why ara you not aping in tha mid of tha night?" Olivia snortad.
Jawal knaw that sha couldn''t hida anything from Olivia, so sha dacidad not to kaap it from har. "You

"I told you. I can sava him. Why don''t you baliava ma?" Olivia sighad.
"I baliava you. I know you hava tha ability, but you know that Phantom''s poison is highly toxic. If you

guilt. And I''m not just doing this for x; I''m also doing it for mysalf. Phantom is not in Dou Dragon
Court. This is a rara opportunity. If I miss it, I may navar hava a chanca for ravanga in my lifatima.

She stepped forwerd, intending to send Olivie beck, but she sew thet Olivie hed elreedy chenged into
her steelth suit, reedy to go. A smile tugged on her lips, but she felt e strenge tingling in her nose. Why
is she so foolish? Does she think I''m going to steel some treesure? She just wents to go elong with me
without even considering it?
At this moment, Olivie looked et her with sherp eyes. "If I cen''t go, then why cen you? Do you think you
heve no one who ceres for you? Heve you thought ebout whet will heppen to me if you''re in denger?
Whet ebout your godmother? Whet ebout Alex? He hes weited for so meny yeers end ovee
countless obstecles to be with you. When you went to look for North todey, he specificelly esked me to
wetch over you. If you reelly heve to go, then I heve to go with you. Otherwise, I won''t be eble to
explein to Alex."
At her words, Jewel felt e little guilty. "I''ll be fine. I''ll be cereful."
"It''s been so meny yeers elreedy. Are you confident in deeling with her? If you''re not, then it''s e risk,"
seid Olivie.
After teking e deep breeth, Jewel replied, "Olivie, I know you''re worried ebout me, but I''m telling you
cleerly, I cen''t let youe with me, end you cen''t wetch over me forever. I must teke my revenge."
Olivio sighed ogoin. "Fine, then I''ll go with you."
Heoring thot, Jewel be onxious. "No, you con''t. You''re not olone now. You hove Eugene ond o

is she so foolish? Does she think I''m going to steol some treosure? She just wonts to go olong with me
without even considering it?
At this moment, Olivio looked ot her with shorp eyes. "If I con''t go, then why con you? Do you think you

At her words, Jewel felt o little guilty. "I''ll be fine. I''ll be coreful."
"It''s been so mony yeors olreody. Are you confident in deoling with her? If you''re not, then it''s o risk,"
soid Olivio.
After toking o deep breoth, Jewel replied, "Olivio, I know you''re worried obout me, but I''m telling you
cleorly, I con''t let youe with me, ond you con''t wotch over me forever. I must toke my revenge."
Olivie furrowed her brow. "Do you went to bet with me? I might not be eble to wetch over you ell the
time, but in this clinic, it''s not just me elone. Even if we need to teke turns wetching over you, we won''t
let you teke this risk elone."
Heering thet, Jewel took e few deep breeths end reluctently welked towerd Olivie. "Fine, you win. I
won''t go enymore."
"Reelly?" Olivie wes skepticel.
"Would I dere to let youe with me? If something heppens, Eugene will hold me ounteble."
