Eugene replied with a laugh, “I said you love me very, very much and can’t live without me, so I hope he can give us his blessing, or you’ll be very upset.” Olivia’s lips twitched for a moment. “How shameless.”
Eugene let out a chuckle. “Am I wrong about that?” Olivia let out a snort. “You’re the one who loves me very, very much.”
Eugene replied, “Yes, I do.”
“Uh-huh, so why didn’t you say that?” “I did, but he didn’t believe me. He said I was smooth-talking.”
“You were indeed. George is seeing you for who you really are.” “Darling, you must stand firm and not get influenced by George. You’ve got to have faith. in me.” “What kind of faith can I have when you’re testing my limits in various ways every single. day?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll never betray you,” Eugene said. before pausing for a moment. Then, he asked, “Have you talked to Jewel about Alex?”
Olivia let out a sigh. “I wanted to, but I couldn’t bring myself to do that when I saw the way she looked. The truth is simply too harsh to them.” “I also wanted to talk to Alex last night, but how am I gonna do that now that things have turned out like this?”
“Is this true? Is there no other possibility?”
“How can it be false? It’s Alex’s mother who said so herself.” Olivia curled her lips. She replied angrily, “Is there anything that she wouldn’t lie about? She could even fake suicide by pretending to have slit her wrist, so why can’t she make up stories? Perhaps it’s just another trick to keep them from getting together.”
Eugene thought about it for a moment. “I think you do have a point there. Just get them to undergo a DNA test someday to save them from such distress and pain,” he suggested. Olivia replied, “Okay.”
Eugene said, “There’s one other thing. Do you know why George came here this time?” Olivia replied airily, “He came to check on me, of course. What else could he be doing here?”
Eugene frowned. “So, you also have no ideal what he asked North to look into?” Olivia asked in surprise, “Did North tell you about it?”
Eugene asked, “You know about it?” Olivia sighed. “It’s a long story, actually. It’s my main doctor’s secret, but he doesn’t allow us to tell anyone about it. Well, I’ll tell you more about it when we meet again one day.” Eugene suggested, “In that case, why don’t you come to my place now? I want to see you right now.”
Olivia replied, “No, I’m not going. It’s so late already. If George sees me going out, he’ll think that I lack self-restraint.”
Eugene frowned. “So, have you learned about their parentage now?” The more Olivia listened, the more confused she got. “Who are you talking about?”
“Carter and others.” Olivia was speechless. “How would I know that? They are your sons, no?”
Eugene was even more speechless. “George is checking them out. Why would he do that for no reason if he doesn’t know anything?”
Olivia got even more dumbfounded, though. “What are you talking about? You mean George is investigating them?”
Eugene was lost for words. Just who is it that we’ve spent a long time talking about here? “North said that George asked him to help find out Carter and others’ whereabouts. Does that. mean he knows of their parentage?”
Olivia didn’t speak for a long time. George did say he’s here to help our main doctor look into somebody. So, does that mean Carter and others are kids from our main doctor’s research institute? But wait a minute! If they’re from his research institute, why would they be related to Eugene? She thought this was too much for her brain to process.
After not hearing any response for a long time, Eugene spoke again. “Olivia, why aren’t you saying anything? Do you know something as well?”
Olivia replied equivocally, “I’m not sure.” Eugene, however, realized how serious this was. He said, “Olivia, either you come here or I’m going to your place. We have to talk about this.”
