The woman stopped in her tracks and instinctively looked toward Eugene. However, when she saw George standing beside him, she remained frozen, her gaze fixated on him. Sensing the situation, the police officer looked at Eugene and asked, “Mr. Nolan, is there a problem?”
Eugene turned to the police officer and asked, “How did you inform her that the child is with us?”
The police officer explained confusedly. “We simply told her that we found the child and that you were temporarily taking care of him. Is there something wrong?”
Eugene turned his icy gaze toward the woman, and his voice sounded chilly. “Then, what’s the meaning of your we snatched your child’ attitude?”
The woman frowned and glanced at George secretly. She stammered, “I didn’t mean that.” Eugene’s voice turned cold. “My sister almost died saving your child, and you don’t even have the decency to say thank you. Whom do you think you’re showing off to with your arrogant attitude?
Olivia was also indignant and spoke up. “That’s right! Even if you don’t feel grateful, you shouldn’t have such an attitude. It’s disheartening!”
The woman glanced at George again and explained, “Oh, so you’re the ones who saved my child’s life. I’m sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you took my child away when I wasn’t paying attention. I’m sorry, I didn’t know.”
However, her words did nothing to quell Eugene’s anger. “Is it that the police officer didn’t explain it clearly, or are you intentionally playing dumb?”
The woman looked at George with a pleading gaze, her expression becoming more aggrieved. “I’m sorry, it was my misunderstanding. Considering that I searched for my child day and night, please don’t hold it against me.”
The police officer also tried to explain. “It’s partly my fault. I probably didn’t explain it clearly enough. I apologize, Mr. Nolan.”
Eugene looked at the woman with disdainful eyes. He didn’t have any favorable impression of her and even felt repulsed. “Now that you know who saved your child’s life, show some sincerity and thank the person who saved your son’s life, instead of just using empty words.”
The woman looked up at Eugene, nervously asking, “What do you mean? I… I don’t have much money. After speaking, she looked toward George and pleaded, “George, can you say something for me?”
At the sound of that, everyone’s surprised gazes fell upon George. They didn’t expect that the woman knew George.
George, at this moment, wished he could disappear. He regretted coming here in the first place. I should have stayed with the patients instead of coming over to see what was happening He also didn’t expect that they would meet again after so many years.
He maintained an expressionless face and uttered detachedly, “What can I say to help you? Should I say that you misunderstood and condescendingly treated others? Or should I say that your misunderstanding was due to your lack of thinking?”
The woman felt embarrassed momentarily and explained in a low voice, “1.. I didn’t think much at the time. You know, I’m just a bit slow. I’m sorry for the misunderstanding. I’ll go buy a gift now and pay a visit to the person who saved my son’s life. After speaking, she handed the child to George. “Please take care of little Alvin for me.”
George didn’t want to take the child, but he couldn’t refuse when she placed the child in his arms. So, he accepted the child reluctantly. The woman hurriedly ran out.
Olivia curiously looked at George and asked, “George, who is that woman?”
Eugene also looked at him. George stood still, his gaze empty as he watched the woman running away. In a low voice, he said, “She is.
