Chapter 135 Is He Really Into Me?
Seeing that Olivia had awakened, Kate hurriedly inquired, “Olivia, you’re awake. How are you feeling? Do you still feel dizzy?”
Olivia replied lethargically, “I’m fine. How long have you been here?”
Kate answered, “I’ve been here for quite a while. Eugene had to leave, so he called and told me to come over and take care of you. If he never called me, I would never have found out about it. How could you and Nathan hide it from me? Who the hell hit your car?”
Olivia shook her head and immediately felt that her head was spinning. Then, she scowled and fell into silence.
Shocked, Kate quickly demanded, “Stop moving. You suffer from a concussion, therefore you should stay idle.”
Olivia remained on the bed and tried to stay put. “I don’t know who did it. Eugene said that it wasn’t just drunk-driving, so he’s still investigating the incident.”
Kate giggled. “Who said Eugene wasn’t interested in you? He had taken care of you overnight.”
Olivia hadn’t managed to figure out Eugene’s motive, therefore she could only argue, “He couldn’t just leave me here, could he?”
Kate replied, “He could have hired a carer or called me.”
Olivia frowned. “He didn’t want to call you because it was already in the middle of the night.”
Kate said with a smile, “How heartless. Are you saying that Eugene is interested in me, therefore he didn’t have the heart to wake me up at night?”
Olivia rolled her eyes in anger. “Neither is he interested in me! Are you trying to send me to hell, seeing that I’m fine?”
Kate was amused and burst into laughter. “If I really sent you to hell, Eugene would never forgive me. Before he left, he kept giving me reminders for more than ten minutes. He told me to get you some water when you awakened before feeding you food, not to keep talking to you as you needed rest, and call him if there’s anything… Oh well, he talked a lot.”
Olivia took a deep breath. “Well, he’s stayed here overnight and knows a little better than you do. So what if he gave you some reminders?”
Hearing that, Kate pouted her lips. Before she could say a word, the door was opened as two figures came into the ward. They were Nathan and North.
“Mommy,” North called out in a low voice as though he was afraid that he would disturb his mother’s rest. “Are you feeling better?”
Olivia raised her hand and stroked his head. “Fortunately, the crash happened before I fetched you. If you were inside the car when it happened…”
She didn’t have the courage to keep thinking about it as the thought alone made her nose feel sore.
“Mommy, don’t be afraid.” North draped his arms around his mother and consoled, “I’m fine.”
Nathan looked around and inquired, “Did my uncle leave?”
Kate questioned, “Why didn’t you tell me that Olivia was involved in a car crash?”
Nathan rolled his eyes at her. “I was afraid that you’d be worried.”
“I would find out about it sooner or later. If I came here earlier, your uncle wouldn’t have to stay here to take care of Olivia.”
“What was there to worry about with my uncle taking care of her?” Nathan shifted his attention to Olivia and remarked, “Olivia, my uncle has never taken care of a woman before. You’re the first one.”
Olivia glowered at him. “Should I feel lucky then?”
Nathan was moved. “It’s true. I had never seen my uncle so flustered before. When he was carrying you in his arms yesterday, his entire body was trembling. You have no idea how dirty and disheveled he was. I heard that the petrol was leaking out of the car and an explosion might happen at any moment. However, he ignored the police and did his best to lug you out of the car.”
After he finished his words, the ward fell into silence.
Olivia pressed her lips together as she couldn’t say anything to refute him.
Closing her eyes, she tried to recall the incident. Although she couldn’t feel it anymore, she remembered that she heard Eugene calling out to her.
Is he really into me?
