Chapter 219 Egg Fried Rice Part 1 He walked over to lift up North’s shirt to have a look.

Although he was already mentally prepared, his breathing caught in his throat when he saw the actual injury. The sharp pain he had in his chest radiated all over his body and limbs!

The injuries weren’t something he could have imagined if he hadn’t witnessed it in person.

North’s body was covered with bruised spots, which were most probably left by pinches. There were some major and minor abrasion wounds as well. Upon looking at these injuries, Eugene could immediately imagine the intensity of the mad woman when she vented her frustrations on North.

I can barely stomach looking at his injuries, not to mention Olivia, if she sees it later. She might just die of heartache.

Eugene bent down to whisper at North’s ear.

North nodded in response.

On the other hand, Olivia came out with the medical kit, but North suggested, “Mommy, let Uncle Eugene help me with my treatment.”

Olivia retorted, “Your Uncle Eugene doesn’t know his way around medicine as I do. It’s best that I help you.”

“You are a girl, and I am a boy,” remarked North firmly.

Eugene took the medical kit from her. “I’ll do it. I’m not as stupid as you might think. I am able to treat simple wounds after all.”

Olivia stood rooted to the spot while holding onto the medical kit. Tears started brimming in her eyes. I know that the little fellow doesn’t want me to see his injuries because he’s worried that I might be sad.

Eugene sighed helplessly. “North hasn’t had anything to eat. You should prepare a meal for him.”

North nodded. “Mommy, I want some egg fried rice!”

Olivia replied in an almost inaudible voice, “Sure.”

After that, she handed the medical kit to Eugene and went into the kitchen. She held onto the counter top while her tears came rolling down continuously.

He is so mature that it breaks my heart.

Eugene did not dare stay in the living room, and so he brought North directly back into his room.

He had a heavy heart, and he was lost in his thoughts while applying medication for North. How should I teach them a lesson?

“I’ll accompany you to sleep tonight.”

North rejected him straight away. “I’m fine alone.”

Eugene glanced at him, and he used a different method. “Just treat it like you’re taking me in. Otherwise, your mommy will ask me to go home!”

North pouted. “You are really useless. Why haven’t you succeeded in pursuing mommy after such a long time?!”

Eugene glared at him. “Didn’t you say that it’s difficult to pursue your mommy? You told me that I shouldn’t be anxious for instant success, and you wouldn’t let me be honest. Hence, I have no choice but to follow your mommy’s pace.”

North looked worried. “Sigh, when would you succeed in pursuing my mommy if I weren’t around? I might even have a girlfriend then, and you wouldn’t even catch up to me.”

Eugene retorted, “I have you on my side, but I still haven’t succeeded in pursuing her, have I?”

North answered wisely, “It’ll be soon. Otherwise, why would my mommy come looking for you when I went missing?”

Eugene sighed helplessly. “Your mommy rejected me so many times that I have no confidence left. I’m always wondering every day if I’m not good enough.”

North snorted in disdain. “You must not be good enough if my mommy hasn’t agreed to be with you. My mommy is great, and so men who pursue my mommy have to be awesome too!”

Eugene chuckled. “Mm-hmm, not only do I have to work hard for your wonderful mommy, I have to do that for my awesome son as well.”

North didn’t speak, but he broke into a bright grin when he heard that.

The two of them walked out of the room after applying medication.

Olivia was done cooking, but there was only egg fried rice served on the table.

She explained while sounding slightly exhausted, “I’ve only made some egg fried rice, and I’m not going to attempt anything else to avoid embarrassing myself. If you don’t mind, feel free to have some!”

Eugene did not comment further; instead, he walked straight into the dining area. He uses his actions to prove to her that he had no complaints.

In all honesty, it was already past 2.00AM, and they were all famished.

There were three bowls of egg fried rice, and they each had one.

Eugene wasn’t sure if he was too hungry, but he found the egg fried rice rather delicious.

The rice was fluffy, and the grains held their shape. Each grain was covered with egg; besides, she had added some chopped green onions, carrots, ham, and green peas as ingredients. The colors were vibrant, and the dish was tasty too.
