Carter said innocently, “That’s because we don’t want Grandpa to find us.”
Olivia didn’t know if she should laugh or cry. She hastily pulled Carter closer to her as she said, “Carter, Blake is sick, so we have to find Grandpa to cure Blake’s sickness. Hurry up and contact Grandpa.”
Carter nodded, then looked at Terry. Terry produced a black locator roughly the size of a button from his little backpack, then turned it on. Carter explained, “With this, Grandpa will know where we are, and he’ll come looking for us.”
Eugene was both annoyed and amused. To avoid getting found by their grandpa, they turned off the locator and traveled to several countries, then asked Wily Rabbit to hide their tracks. Even if they always talked about looking for their grandpa, they never actually did it. How could children be so good at scheming?
If Blake wasn’t ill, they might not have even mentioned it. George let out a sigh of relief as well, then smiled in exasperation as he said, “Alright, just go to bed. Mr. Gedding will probably be here soon,” With that, he turned to Eugene and said, “We’re sharing a room.”
Eugene was speechless. Why would he stay with George instead of his wife?
“I can just share a room with Olivia.”
George replied, “No, you can’t. Are you even married?” He glared at Eugene. He didn’t believe that Olivia would get married to Eugene without his approval.
Eugene was exasperated. “We have children now, so getting married is just a matter of time. If Olivia hadn’t rejected the idea, I would’ve taken her to get our marriage certificate already.”
George was happy as he scoffed. “That means you’re married yet, right? You can’t share a room with her if you two are not married yet.”
Eugene knew that George couldn’t accept reality, so he provoked the latter on purpose. “We always share a room at home.”
George frowned slightly. In reality, he had already guessed they’d do that. However, whenever that man showed off to him, he still felt a sharp pain in his heart. He gripped Eugene’s arm. “Well, now that you’re here, you have to listen to me. Come with me!”
Eugene looked at Olivia. She lowered her head, looking helpless as well as she ignored him. Hence, Eugene was dragged away in a tragic fashion. The room instantly went quiet.
Carter came over and asked, “Mommy, what illness does Blake have? Is Grandpa the only one who can cure him?”
Terry also asked, “Mommy, can’t you cure him?”
Olivia didn’t know how to explain to the children that they were born from advanced technology. She was worried that it might differ from natural birth, so she dared not use medicine on the kids without proper research.
“I can cure Blake, but I just want to talk to Grandpa and discuss it with him. I fear that the medicine I use might not work well with the injections he gave you guys.”
“Grandpa said that the injections are for strengthening our immune system,” Terry said. Olivia nodded. “I know, but there are various injections that strengthen the immune system. I have to know which type it is so that I can. administer the right medicine.”
The children nodded, half-confused. “Alright, then. It’s getting late, so go to bed. Blake, why don’t you sleep with me tonight?”
Blake’s eyes instantly lit up. “Can I?”
“Of course.” She smiled as she caressed his little head. The next day, everyone had just finished breakfast when they heard hurried footsteps outside. “George! George!”
George frowned slightly. “Tiger?”
He got up and opened the door, whereas Tiger ran up to them just then.
Tiger said while panting, “Mr. Gedding is back,
George.”
