Olivia exchanged a puzzled look with Alice.
In theory, Doreen wasn't someone who easily shed tears, even if Hugh had been injured while saving her. While it was natural to be grateful, it seemed like her reaction was too emotional.
Alice gave Olivia a subtle look and then sat beside Doreen to comfort her. "Godmother, don't worry, Mr. Plumpton will be fine. He just needs a few days to recuperate. You don't have to be too concerned."
Doreen nodded slightly in acknowledgment, yet the worry in her eyes remained.
"You guys go back. I'll stay here with him."
Olivia and Alice exchanged glances. There was no way they would leave her here alone.
"Godmother, you're injured and need rest. There will be people here to take care of him. We'll come back tomorrow."
However, Doreen was obstinate. "I'll stay and watch over him."
At that, Alice considered the situation and compromised. "Godmother, how about this? We'll let you stay alone with Mr. Plumpton for a while, but you must go back to rest tonight. Not only is it important for your health, but also Olivia. She's pregnant, and she won't leave if you don't. You need to go back."
At last, Alice convinced Doreen, who looked at Olivia, and responded, "Okay."
With that, the group left the ward and found a separate room to rest in.
After noticing Olivia's curiosity, Alice chuckled and asked, "You're curious about Mr. Plumpton and Godmother's relationship, aren't you?"
"Isn't he her bodyguard?" Olivia furrowed her brows.
Meanwhile, Eugene silently observed the sisters' conversation.
