“Olivia, everything will be fine. The little fellow will be fine. It’s all my fault. If only I hadn’t lost my temper and terminated the contract with Summer, then you wouldn’t have had to take up the photoshoot for the magazine cover just to stand up for me and ended up being taken advantage of.”
Olivia’s tears suddenly streamed down her face. “I just want North to be fine. I don’t care about anything else.” Meanwhile, Kate held Olivia in her arms and patted her back gently. “Don’t worry. Our baby’s so smart and brave, so he’ll definitely be alright. Don’t worry.”
At that moment, Eugene felt as if his heart was clenched tightly in someone’s hands, and it pained him to the point where he felt as if he was about to lose his breath.
Olivia was just putting on a tough front and she didn’t shed a single tear the whole time she was in front of him. He realized that she was worried that he would blame himself. However, the more she behaved that way, the worse he felt. He couldn’t help himself and he walked toward her unconsciously, wanting to hug her.
Kate was quite perceptive and she saw him approach, so she willingly took a step backward and let go of Olivia. “Alright there. Everything will be fine.”
At that moment, Eugene reached out his long arms and instantly took her into his embrace. He held her tightly and spoke in a hoarse voice. I’m sorry, Olivia.” Olivia didn’t say a word but she leaned forward and stayed in his arms.
Eugene kissed her on the forehead, a pained look on his face. “Once North is out of the woods, I’ll share something with you.” Olivia was slightly curious as to what he had to say, but she didn’t have the mood to find out at the moment.
Just then, Kate was in solemn spirits too and she kept her eyes on the tightly shut operation theater doors. Suddenly, she heard the frantic thud of footsteps, and she instinctively turned to look in the direction of the noise. At a glance, she saw Nathan, who was running in their direction, and he had an anxious look on his face as he rushed forward. His right arm was still in a cast and it was hanging loosely by his neck. He looked quite discomposed.
Instantly, she furrowed her brows. His arm… He must have gotten hurt that day after saving me and yet, he said he was fine. If he was fine, he wouldn’t have his arm in a cast!
She focused her eyes on him and her heartache was evident from the look in her eyes. At that point, the man saw Kate too and he naturally slowed down. He walked toward their side before asking, “How’s North doing?”
Kate wasn’t sure either. She merely knew that it was a sudden illness but she didn’t know exactly what sort of illness, as no one mentioned anything.
No one dared to ask upon seeing the upset look on Olivia’s face. If even Olivia couldn’t treat the illness then it must be quite serious. Eugene finally let go of Olivia as he spoke up. “He was poisoned.”
Nathan and Kate were significantly shocked upon hearing that. “How did he suddenly get poisoned?” At that point, Eugene took a deep breath. “It’s my fault.”
He briefly explained the matter, obviously blaming himself for it. Meanwhile, Kate angrily retorted, “That stupid woman’s such a troublemaker!” As for Nathan, there was a murderous look in his eyes too. “Since she’s courting death, let’s grant her wish!”
However, Kate had some doubts and she asked, “President Nolan, whose looks did you mention that Anna chose to take on?” Eugene replied, “Samantha.”
At that moment, Kate was quite regretful. “I’ve heard of this name before. Olivia, do you remember that we went out for a drinking session once and we bumped into Melanie there? She mentioned then that Samantha had her eyes on President Nolan. I thought that she, meant Samantha wanted to seduce President Nolan, so I intended to remind you about it.
However, after the huge commotion, I totally forgot about this. Turns out she is actually after President Nolan’s life. She’s so vicious! Goodness, I’ve got such a bad memory! If only I had reminded you earlier on, this wouldn’t have happened!”
At that, Olivia turned to comfort Kate. “It’s pointless. No one would have expected that they would resort to such drastic measures. She actually went through all that pain and went under the blade to approach Eugene.”
“Yeah, her actions are way more despicable than seduction,” Kate muttered. “She actually had murder on her mind.”
