Chapter 424 Something Must Have Happened
However, at a time where the situation was already out of control, Olivia’s words were useless against them. Walking over, she tried to hold Eugene back. “Eugene, what’s going on? If something’s wrong, you should talk it out! Stop fighting!”
Eugene was afraid that he might hurt Olivia and didn’t dare to move. To be honest, he didn’t want to fight in the first place. It was Brian that had forced him to retaliate in kind. As a result of Eugene stopping, Brian became even more worked up. He threw two punches directly at Eugene’s face. Moreover, both punches were very heavy blows. Thus, Eugene staggered backward from the blows. If it wasn’t for Olivia holding him up, he might have fallen to the ground.
Then, Olivia became anxious. What is with Brian? Isn’t this an exploitation of vulnerability?! During this period, these two brothers have been getting along better. So, why did they start fighting out of the blue? Glaring at Brian fiercely, she snapped, “What are you doing?! Eugene stopped fighting back. Why did you continue hitting him?!”
Brian looked at her. His eyes were so red that they looked like they were dripping with blood. Moreover, his gaze looked like he had been very wronged. Saying nothing, he turned around to leave!
In response, she frowned. What’s with that look in his eyes? He was the one who hit somebody, so why does he look so wronged? “Stop right there!” She chased after him and stopped him. “What’s wrong with you?”
He calmly stared at her and coldly replied, “Move out of the way! It’s none of your business!”
Putting her hands on her hips, she yelled at him menacingly, “Well, I’m making it my business! Are you saying you don’t want me to care about you anymore? Why didn’t you ask me to stay out of your business when you were eating the dumplings and noodles at my house?!”
He responded, “You don’t need to care anymore.” After saying that, he pushed past her to leave. However, he had taken no more than two steps when he felt a sharp pain in his neck. It was very light; it almost felt like a mosquito bite. Afterward, he became dizzy and light-headed. Moreover, he heard Olivia yelling for Eugene before he fell to the ground. Olivia must have done something to me. This feeling is similar to what I usually feel when she performs acupuncture on me.
Brian had guessed correctly—Olivia had stuck a needle into the back of his neck. After all, he was being utterly unreasonable. When she came downstairs, she was worried that something might have happened to them. Thus, she didn’t dare to allow North to come with her. Not only that, but she also brought her needles along with her just in case. To her surprise, there were no enemies. Even so, the two men had ended up in this miserable state. Brian is acting so odd; how can I just let him leave? We need to make him stay for now.
Then, Eugene looked at Olivia gratefully. “I’m so glad you came down.”
“Let’s go upstairs first. We need to treat your wounds!” Olivia said as she helped Eugene drag Brian upstairs.
When North saw the state the two men were in, he was shocked too. “What happened? Who did this to them?!”
Olivia felt extremely speechless. “They were fighting among themselves!”
Upon hearing those words, North fell silent. The two adults laid Brian down on the sofa. After that, Olivia asked puzzledly, “What on earth was the matter with you two?! Why were you guys fighting?!”
Eugene suppressed his pain as he replied, “I don’t know either. He attacked me without saying anything.”
“Come over here. I’ll treat your wounds.” As she talked, she took out some antiseptic cotton from the medical kit and helped him clean out his wounds. The more she treated his wounds, the angrier she became. “How can this guy be so brutal? Don’t you know how to fight back?”
Upon hearing those words, he felt inexplicably happy that his girlfriend was upset because of his pains. “I did fight back. If I didn’t fight back, I’d have been beaten to death.”
She glared at him wordlessly as he gave her a foolish smile. “Brian is so much lighter than you.”
He replied, “I can’t actually do anything to him, right? What if his illness relapsed after how much effort you put in to cure him?”
Then, Olivia glanced sideways at Brian again. “What’s with him? Didn’t he say he wanted to eat braised pork in brown sauce? Why did he suddenly start fighting you?”
Eugene said, “Something must have happened. When will he regain consciousness?”
