Chapter 1242 How Did Phantom Die?
Ellen glanced over, her eyes filled with concern. Olivia hesitated to share the details in front of Ellen, fearing it would frighten her. However, considering the gravity of the situation, she knew her mother-in-law would insist on knowing the truth. So, without hiding anything, Olivia explained how Jewel had knocked her out and went to Phantom’s house to confront her, then forced Phantom to give her the antidote.
“I didn’t develop the antidote I used on you. Even if I could save you, it wouldn’t have been so quick. But Jewel didn’t want me to tell you, fearing it would worry you. I never expected Phantom to die,” Olivia added.
Alex’s heart ached with pain, realizing that everything was kept secret to spare him from worry. In hindsight, he felt a chill down his spine. That woman was formidable, even though he had fought her while injured that day. Even without his injuries, he doubted he would have been on par with her. To make matters worse, she was skilled at throwing darts, so he might have died that day.
That foolish woman never considered that she could die as well, did she?
She just went ahead and knocked out Phantom secretly. If this incident hadn’t occurred, perhaps he wouldn’t have realized when he would need to hide behind her and rely on her for protection.
“So, Jewel said she didn’t kill her?” Alex inquired.
Olivia nodded. “That’s right. Later, I had North investigate, and Phantom was admitted to a private hospital in the west.”
Alex narrowed his eyes. “Someone must have framed her. How did the police find out that Jewel was there? I’m going to the hospital to investigate.”
Olivia tried to stop him. “You shouldn’t go. You haven’t fully recovered. I’ll go instead.”
Alex insisted, “No, you need to stay at home and take care of the kids. They can’t do without you. I’m fine now, and I know my own body.”
Olivia was still worried. “Then why don’t you wait for Eugene to come back and go with you? He should be here this afternoon.”
