After North came out and saw Jewel, he greeted her politely. “Aunt Jewel.” She responded, “What are you busy with, North?”
“I’m helping Uncle George to look for something,” he explained. “How’s it going? Have you found their whereabouts? George asked. North shook his head. “No.”
George was surprised to hear that. “There’s still something you can’t locate, eh?” North replied coolly, “I’m not omnipotent. It’s hard to find their whereabouts. Give me some more time.”
Meanwhile, Olivia frowned. “What are you looking for?” George answered her vaguely since Jewel was still there. “Just some things about the main doctor.”
Olivia suddenly understood and responded with a grunt without pursuing the matter. North blinked in shock, wondering what it meant. Does Mommy also know about this? It seems I need to ask her about this when there’s an opportunity.
Eugene never expected that Alex and Jewel were half-siblings, which explained why Alex had invited him out for a drink.
He thought that if Alex spoke up, he could help the man find a solution or try to persuade him. However, now that they were siblings, there was nothing more to say. At last, he could only accompany Alex to drink. Alex got completely drunk and passed out..
Eugene sent him back before returning to Muse Peninsula, but it was already past 1.00AM. As he got in the elevator, he subconsciously pressed the button for the 59th floor. However, he suddenly remembered that he promised the little woman not to show up at her place today.
He took a deep breath and went back into the elevator, pressing the button for the 60th floor. He thought his love life was already complicated enough, but at least they were still together. Alex had no chance at all. No wonder he tried to drink his troubles away.
Life was full of drama, especially when two people who loved each other turned out to be siblings. Maybe alcohol did work as Eugene felt tired and exhausted. As he lay down in bed, he realized North had sent him many messages.
Yet, he was too busy taking care of Alex to notice them.
‘Are you back?’ ‘Uncle George is here again! ‘I want to talk to you about something. Presumably, North didn’t send any more messages since Eugene didn’t reply. As such, Eugene responded with a message. ‘What’s up? I just got back. Your Uncle Alex got drunk and I was busy taking care of him. I didn’t notice my phone ringing.”
The message was sent, but as one could imagine, North was unlikely to respond. Eugene waited for a while but when he didn’t get a reply, he didn’t pay much attention to it and sent a message to Olivia. ‘Is my darling asleep?
She didn’t reply either. Eugene pouted. They were his wife and child, but he felt as if he stole them.
A phone call woke Eugene up the next morning. He groggily grabbed his phone and looked at the caller ID. It was Azalea. He suddenly felt dejected as he answered the call. “Hello.”
“Eugene, did I wake you up? I’m sorry. I forgot to check the time.”
“It’s fine. What’s up?”
“Uh… I was wondering if you have time for us to go to the hospital today.” “Okay, I’ll come and pick you up later.” “Take your time. I’m not in a hurry.”
Still half-asleep, Eugene sat up and muttered, “It’s okay. I should get up now.” “I’ll be waiting for you at the hotel, then.”
“Okay.” Eugene responded absent-mindedly before hanging up the phone. Then, he made another call. “Is the person I arranged for here yet?”
“Mr. Nolan, she’s here. Her name is Shannon Miller. Should I let her come to see you?” “Let her wait for me at the hotel.” Eugene hung up the phone and thought for a moment before realizing that he also needed to call his girl.
It was too late last night and she didn’t respond to his messages either. At this moment, Olivia was still sleeping, but Eugene’s call woke her up.
When she saw it was Eugene calling, there was a hint of complaint in her voice. “Eugene, what do you want so early in the morning?”
He chuckled, feeling rather happy. “Do you want me to make a call in front of your senior?”
