Unfinished Business with You

Chapter 1439 I Trust You

As Alice spoke up, she pulled Doreen's hand and asked, "Right, Godmother?"

Doreen's eyes were also misty as she struggled to offer words of comfort. "Yes, don't fear!"

Olivia also squatted beside Doreen and looked at Alice. "Rest assured, you don't need to worry about things here. I'll make sure Godmother gets better. You just need to focus on dealing with Lucian and Beatrix for now. Is there any way?"

Alice said, "I haven't figured out a specific plan yet, but at least I am the Queen of Eurosia now. Anyone who tries to harm me won't succeed."

Olivia smiled. "Let's do a kinship test. That way, you'll have a valid reason to protect me."

Alice agreed immediately, "Okay."

The two of them were quite straightforward and each took a blood sample to give to Hugh, who promptly sent them for analysis.

The servants in the room were all dismissed, and everyone's emotions gradually calmed down.

Everyone was worried about Doreen's health, so Albert eventually carried her to bed to rest.

Olivia and Alice sat by the bedside while Eugene sat next to Olivia.

Alice reached out to Eugene and said, "Eugene, let's introduce ourselves again. I am your sister-in-law and my real name is Lydia Bleu."

Eugene knew that Alice was her title, though he hadn't expected the coincidence that her actual name, Lydia, was so similar to Olivia's.

Suddenly, he felt a sense of familiarity stemming from the reassurance that his wife was no longer alone.

He smiled and shook hands with her. "Eugene Nolan."

Alice continued, "Although you married my sister without going through my inspection, I can see that you treat my sister well now. However, if you ever bully her, I won't stand for it either."

Eugene assured her, "Don't worry, I won't."

She grinned and said, "Actually, I admire you. I have heard of your name and reputation before, but I didn't expect you to be my brother-in-law. Now, I feel more confident."

He responded, "You are the queen, and the whole Eurosia is yours. What reason is there for any lack of confidence?"

Alice admitted, "Honestly, I have never felt a sense of ownership over being the queen. In the past, Godmother helped me with everything, but in the past six months, I've had no one to rely on. There are some things that I can only decide on my own. When I didn't know what to do, I would just hide and cry. I have stumbled along the way, but at least I have survived. Although I haven't handled some things

well enough, at least I've learned not to just cry." Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Olivia chimed in, "You are still young, and you’re doing a great job."

Alice countered, "Actually, I am not that young anymore. I was just too well-protected by Godmother. When she suddenly fell ill, I was at a loss. I really felt like the sky was falling. Especially recently, Lucian and Beatrix have become more unscrupulous. I was struggling at every step, fearing that they would catch even the slightest mistake from me."

Olivia felt a pang of sympathy. "But wasn't today's confrontation because of us? Would it cause more trouble for you?"

Alice snorted, "Who told him to target you deliberately? The previous doctors were driven away, but these two are relentless. Do they really think I’m a pushover to be squashed however they want? We might as well confront them directly. Who cares about pretending to be a loving father and daughter every day?"

Her feelings at this moment were completely different from when she was in the palace. She felt that this was a safe and reassuring environment. Evidently, she was more relaxed and had more enthusiasm and freedom than she should have at her age. She even had a bit of the same petulant attitude as Olivia.

Olivia chuckled. This feeling was strange. She wanted to pamper Alice and protect her, but it was different from the feeling of protecting a child. Regardless, seeing Alice smile made her happy. She had never thought they looked alike before, but now they seemed to resemble each other more and more.

Olivia couldn't help but add, "Hugh must have colluded with Double Dragon Court back then.

Otherwise, why would he place a video recorder in the study room?"

Alice nodded. "Yes, I know about this. I will investigate it. Don't worry, Sis. Our own people are handling the investigation, so they won't say anything bad about you."

Olivia smiled. "You have grown up, and I trust you."
