Chapter 1065 Wandering Thoughts
…
Azalea staggered under the force of the slap but this time, she didn’t cry out in pain, nor did she offer any explanation or attempt to evade. She came back to the exact same spot she stood in with determination.
She could understand how Olivia felt.
Olivia didn’t waste time talking either as she delivered another slap in full force that made her palm tingle with numbness.
Azalea, knowing she deserved the beating, remained silent.
If it weren’t for her, Eugene wouldn’t have been injured, let alone come close to death. She could have kept Eugene grateful toward her for the rest of his life, but she had chosen the path of self-destruction instead.
After Olivia continuously slapped her four more times, Azalea finally whispered, “I’m sorry.”
Her tears started to fall.
She truly felt the weight of her guilt. She knew she owed them an apology.
It was all her fault for being so unbelievably stupid by creating this tragic drama entirely on her own. Whatever punishment she received, she deserved it. But not only that, her actions had brought suffering upon Eugene and even Olivia.
However, she would rather keep this incident buried deep within her heart, or Eugene would end up hating her to the core.
This was also the reason Olivia had hit her. If Azalea hadn’t constantly brought up being Eugene’s life savior, they wouldn’t have devised such a foolish plan that ended up with Eugene being hospitalized.
But she didn’t want to bring up this matter. Eugene would seek her out in due time. She merely asked, “How did Eugene get hurt?”
“My hands were bound when I was pushed off the container. Eugene also jumped down after that, but I had already been washed away by the waves and was slowly sinking by then. He only found me when we were some distance away from where we fell. And just as he was undoing the rope on my wrists, that man suddenly appeared behind him and stabbed him.”
As Azalea spoke, her words became incoherent because of how hard she was sobbing.
“Eugene had to drag me along while fighting that man because I can’t swim. He even got injured. I thought of ending my life right there and then, but Eugene wouldn’t let me. They fought in the sea for a long, long time until that man had no strength left to fight back. But Eugene began to sink little by little due to excessive bleeding. Still, he tried his best to hold onto me so that I wouldn’t fall. I could only watch as he used up his last bit of strength and sank…”
