Eugene and Olivia accompanied them throughout the whole process. The appearance of this young man was like a lifesaver to Blake and also to their family. Still, it would take a week for the results of the examinations to be available.
After the family bid farewell to Mason, Olivia held Blake and said, “Sweetheart, once the surgery is done, everything will be fine. You won’t have to drink that bitter medicine anymore, and you won’t have nosebleeds or fainting spells. Are you happy?”
Blake nodded vigorously as he grinned, showing his little teeth. “Yes, I am.”
The other children were also happy and gathered around to comfort Blake. North said, “You need to cooperate with the doctor. Then, we’ll be able to have a competition once you’ve recovered.”
Blake responded, “I know. This time I won’t be left behind by all of you.” Carter said, “If you’re scared, you can cry. There’s nothing to be afraid of.”
Blake retorted, “I won’t cry. I’m not afraid. Why should I be afraid?”
Terry said, “No one will laugh at you.”
Blake exclaimed while waving his fists, “I won’t cry! I’m not a girl.” Everyone burst into laughter. Ellen hurriedly hugged Blake and comforted him. “You’re the strongest. Once you’re cured, we’ll go home.”
Hector said, “Don’t worry. It won’t hurt.” Jewel, Alex, and everyone else also stepped forward to offer words of comfort. Olivia looked at Eugene, who had been silent the whole time, and approached him.
Eugene immediately pulled her into his embrace. He didn’t say anything, but Olivia understood what his silence meant.
Blake would finally be on the road to recovery. Now that they had spent the night together once, the second time naturally followed. So, Eugene didn’t think that there was any point in sleeping in separate rooms that night.
Instead, he boldly entered her room. She just looked at him and wanted to see just what reason he had to stay in her room tonight. He had a justifiable reason to stay behind every day. The first day, he said he needed comfort.
The second day, he said he couldn’t bear not holding her while sleeping.
The third day…
Olivia opened the door and looked at him. “So, what’s your excuse today?”
Eugene just smiled and didn’t speak. He knew she wasn’t truly preventing him from entering. So, he merely shifted his body and squeezed through the door, then exposed his masculine nature. He reached out and grabbed her wrist, pressing her against the door, and leaned down to whisper in her ear, “Sweetheart, I’ve missed you.”
Her heart fluttered against her chest with just one sentence, and her whole body felt as though feathers were brushing against her heart. It made her mind go completely blank. Even though they had already done intimate things countless times, it was undeniable that he could easily arouse her.
Her only shred of rationality struggled to make her say something, not wanting to surrender so easily.
“What… What kind of reason is that?”
Eugene chuckled as his body drew closer to hers. His large palm caressed her body. It was both soothing and seductive. “So, you don’t want to? Hmm?”
His voice was ambiguous as it carried a hint of teasing, especially the ‘hmm’ that he hummed through his nose, which ignited countless inappropriate thoughts. It had been so long since they had been this intimate. How could she say that she didn’t desire him as well?
Olivia’s breathing instantly became erratic, and her whole body felt like it had been electrified as it went pliant under his ministrations. Yet, she didn’t want to surrender so quickly, but the truth was that her body betrayed her with three words. “I want to.”
For Eugene, her acquiescence was like a catalyst for his desire. His passion reached its peak in an instant. His warm lips unerringly found hers as he kissed her eagerly, passionately, and fiercely, as if he couldn’t get enough of her.
Suddenly, he bent down and lifted her while striding toward the large bed. Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night!
A few days later, the bone marrow matching results for Blake and Mason came out. The bone marrow match between them was highly successful, with an eighty percent match.
The doctors said that with such a match, the success rate for the surgery could reach ninety percent. Thus, the surgery for the bone marrow transplant could be performed within the week.
