Chapter 1226 Apology
Albert nodded. “It was my fault for not keeping my subordinate in check last time, causing Miss Maxwell to be upset. I’m here to apologize.”
As he spoke, he held up the items in his hands, trying to take them into the clinic.
George blocked his path. “No need. She doesn’t lack these things.”
Albert said, “I know that she doesn’t lack them, but it’s a token of my sincerest apologies. Please pass these to her.”
“I said, it’s not necessary.” George looked at him. “You’re a part of the royal family, so don’t make things awkward for everyone. She said that she doesn’t want to see you, so she won’t see you at all. If you barge in like that, she’ll just get mad.”
Albert looked at him suspiciously. “Did she tell you about what happened between us?”
George frowned slightly. “She’s my junior, so it’s only natural for me to investigate the background of a visitor who wishes to see her, right? Can you leave now?”
Albert replied, “If that’s so, please just tell her that I have an emergency. Please let me talk to her.”
An annoyed look appeared on George’s face as he said coldly, “Do you not understand what I just said? Get out before I attack you.”
Albert didn’t want to give up just like that. He was about to try again when, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Olivia walking in from the back door of the clinic. She was hurrying toward the traditional medicine section to get some medicine.
His eyes lit up as he shouted to Olivia, “Miss Maxwell! Miss Maxwell!”
Olivia already spotted Albert at the entrance just now, but she decided to ignore him, so of course, she pretended not to hear his shouts.
She passed the prescription to Tiger, who was in charge of getting the medicine. She told him to prepare the medicine and deliver it to the backyard when it was ready, then she turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, she had just taken a few steps when she heard Albert’s voice again. “Miss Maxwell, just spare me 5 minutes.”
Olivia didn’t want to listen to him, so she continued walking.
“Miss Maxwell, you don’t want me to cause a ruckus and disturb the patients getting treatment at the clinic, do you?”
When George heard that, he was instantly furious. He shoved Albert outside, saying, “Do you think I’m too scared to do anything to you?”
Albert was taken aback by George’s shoving, but he retained his wits and never fought back. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
He smoothed his clothes, his expression void of anger as he maintained his noble and elegant behavior.
His eyes, however, kept looking past George and into the clinic.
Olivia didn’t move. She didn’t go out, nor did she return as she simply looked at him. Perhaps because he was so persistent, she couldn’t even feel mad as she decided to eventually walk toward him.
She stood at the entrance of the clinic, her expression cold and haughty as she looked at her watch. “Five minutes!”
Albert stepped forward and said apologetically, “Miss Maxwell, the incident last time was entirely my fault. I should’ve disciplined my subordinate better so that he wouldn’t say things to anger you. I’m here to apologize on his behalf. Please be gracious and don’t concern yourself with foolish people like him.”
With that, he passed the items in his hand to her. “River wanted you to have this. He didn’t dare come in case you got mad again.”
Olivia remained calm and unapproachable. “No need. I don’t know him that well, and as for his personality or how he treated me, or how you discipline your subordinates, none of that is my concern. You don’t even have to apologize to me. He angered me, and I’ve also taken my revenge. We don’t owe each other anything anymore, so please go back.”
How could Albert just go back like this? He couldn’t delay it any longer.
He explained with all his might, “River was anxious on my behalf, so he has always been a rash person —”
Olivia didn’t want to humor him any longer. She glanced at her watch languidly and said, “You have 90 seconds left.”
