After hearing Olivia’s words, Albert felt both relieved and terrified simultaneously. They’re too clever by deducing so much just from a few photos.
She did not give him much time to be surprised and asked again, “When do you plan to take your godmother for treatment?”
He replied, “I wish it can be as soon as possible. Miss Maxwell, could you make that happen? The cost of the diagnosis will not be an issue, but it would be best if she could come with me to Eurosia.”
Olivia agreed. “Alright. How about five days later?” “Five days?” Albert was overjoyed and shocked, not knowing how to react. Can she make it in just five days?
In reality, they had been searching for her for eight months. Other than just locating the necklace, they were also here to find the elusive Doctor Bailey, but both tasks seemed incredibly difficult.
Olivia furrowed her brows and thought for a moment. “How about three days? We can’t make it any sooner.” They had their things to do as well.
Albert was extremely excited. “No, that’s fine. Actually, we’ve been searching for her for eight months. A few more days of delay won’t make a difference as long as she can help with the treatment. I’ll be grateful forever.”
Olivia was speechless. He was the one who refused to say it earlier, not that she did not want to save Doreen. “Alright, I’ll fasten things up here. Just wait for further updates. ”
“Okay.” Then, he added, “Miss Maxwell, I’m truly grateful to have you as a friend.” She smiled. “I feel the same way.” After ending the call, she looked at Eugene and asked, “How many days do you need?”
Eugene replied, “It’s up to you.”
Olivia said, “I’m available anytime, and it depends on you.”
He answered, “I’ll try to resolve it in three days.” She responded, “Don’t overexert yourself, and take care. So, shall I leave?” She was about to get out of the car. He frowned. “You’re just getting out like that?”
She was puzzled. “What’s wrong?” Eugene complained, “You don’t have the consciousness of being a wife at all.”
Olivia laughed. Why can’t he just say what he wants directly instead of being cryptic? She leaned closer and kissed him lightly on the lips. “Is that better now?”
He grabbed her hand when seeing that she was about to leave. “Call me ‘darling’.” She felt a little shy. Although Eugene always called her ‘darling,’ she still refused to say it out loud. “Give me some time to adapt to this role.”
“Alright,” Eugene responded but did not let go of her hand; instead, he used his other hand to hold hers as if he would not release her until she called him that. Olivia sighed. Oh, like now? “Fine, is tonight okay?”
He said, “That’s fine.”
She puffed up her cheeks. “Can you let go now?” Eugene lazily retorted, “You can stay in my arms for as long as you want.”
She was speechless. Isn’t that the same thing?
“Eugene, please let me go. Halma may have already arrived.” He responded, “We just got married today, but we can’t even have a meal and celebrate together, and yet you refuse when I ask you to call me ‘darling’?”
Argh! This is getting frustrating. Olivia wanted to get angry initially, but she turned soft-hearted after hearing the man’s pitiful tone. Alright!He just said he would work overtime to accompany me to Eurosia. I can’t be too unreasonable, though.
“D-Don’t look at me, then.”
Eugene furrowed his brows. What kind of request is that?
“Where else should I look at but you?”
