Chapter 1069 Ellen, Azalea, and Shannon
It was Saturday the next day.
Shannon had gone out and bought a new phone for Azalea early in the morning.
After Azalea inserted the replacement SIM card into the phone and sent a message, she left the hotel with Shannon
shortly after.
"Azalea, where are we going?" Shannon asked.
Azalea glanced at her and mysteriously said, "You'll find out when we get there."
Despite feeling puzzled, Shannon went with her.
The two of them soon arrived at a luxurious villa after wandering around.
When Shannon saw Ellen standing at the entrance, everything suddenly clicked into place. She had been on
Promise Island the whole time so naturally, she was familiar with Ellen.
She just didn't understand why Azalea had come to see Eugene's mother.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCould it be that she still believes there is a possibility of things working out between her and Eugene? Seriously…
Even dreams are more realistic than this fantasy of hers!
Ellen was also surprised to see Azalea. How did she know that I live here?
After the initial shock, she finally regained her composure. "Why are you here?"
Azalea politely greeted her and handed over the items she had bought on the way. "Mrs. Nolan, I apologize for the
intrusion. I couldn't have a proper conversation with you last night, so I came here today to pay my respects!"
Ellen glanced at Shannon, then looked at Azalea's sincere and innocent face. Awkwardly, she replied, "You're not
intruding at all. Come on in!"
As she spoke, she let them into the house.
Azalea started looking around after she entered the building. "Do you live here by yourself, Mrs. Nolan?"
"No, I live with my younger son. He brought the kids to the hospital."
"You mean North and the three children?"
Ellen was surprised to hear that. "You know about them?"
"Yes, I've met them. They're all clever and adorable children," Azalea commented before a hint of apology
appeared on her face. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Nolan. It's all my fault that Eugene got hurt. If it weren't for saving me, he
wouldn't be lying in a hospital bed. I feel so guilty and don't know how to make it up to him. This accident wouldn't
have happened if I hadn't gone out alone, and Eugene wouldn't…"
She suddenly stopped and covered her face, seemingly crying.
Ellen took a deep breath. Truth was, she was angry. Just as Azalea said, her son wouldn't have been injured if it
weren't for Azalea.
However, Ellen couldn't bring herself to blame the younger woman. After all, her son had willingly saved Azalea. It
wouldn't be fair to hold it against her.
Besides, Azalea had been trying to make amends.
Ellen looked at Azalea and asked, "I heard that you also saved Eugene before?"
Azalea humbly replied, "That was several years ago. At that time, Eugene didn't have the power and influence he
has now. He was in Nambahd and was shot in the chest during an ambush. When he collapsed at the entrance of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmy house, I happened to save him. Compared to Eugene saving me, it's really nothing worth mentioning. Mrs.
Nolan, you don't need to worry about it. I didn't save him while expecting him to repay me in this way…"
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face.
Ellen's impression of her suddenly improved significantly. Although Azalea casually mentioned saving Eugene, it was
about a gunshot wound in his chest, after all. Eugene might not be alive if Azalea had acted even a second later.
Despite that, Azalea didn't use it as leverage or put pressure on him. She even made Ellen feel that she knew how
to handle things properly and was well-mannered.
Shannon, who was watching the two conversing, could only inwardly purse her lips at how good Azalea was at
acting.
After spending so much time together, she had somewhat understood Azalea.
When this woman wanted to act like a proper human being, she was more sensible than anyone. However, nothing
that she had done so far seemed like the behavior of someone refined.
So that's why people say that birds of a feather flock together. If people from different circles were forced to stick
together, they would only find it difficult to tolerate each other. Is she not going to show some restraint after what
happened yesterday? I don't even know what to say to her.
