âWhatâs wrong?â Brian was furious as he growled in a low tone, âHow did you upset Olivia?â âHow is she?â asked Eugene.
âHow else could she be?! Sheâs crying in the washroom! Whatâs wrong with you? If you donât like her, stop flirting with her! Do you know others will be heartbroken to see her like that?!â refuted Brian.
Hearing those words, Eugene was even more enraged. âDo you think I donât feel bad for making her cry?â âThen why did you do it?â âI just explained to her what happened back then, and she started ignoring me after that!â
Brian was rendered speechless for a long time. He knew that sooner or later, Olivia would find out. Moreover, Brian and Eugene had matching blood types with North. He had always been worried that she would find out about the truth.
However, when North was pushed out of the operating room, she didnât seem to be dubious, judging by her condition. So what on earth was. going on?
After a while, Brian spoke. âDid she find out herself? Or did you tell her?â âI told her,â answered Eugene, to which Brian then complained, âWhy did you tell her?â âSheâll find out sooner or later.â
âThen let her find out as late as possible!â
âDidnât you see how bad the comments were under the posts? I canât imagine how heartbroken she would feel after seeing them.
Iâm the cause of her misery today, so I rather let her scold me than blame everything on herself and live with regrets. She and her child donât deserve all these.â
âBut sheâs not blaming you. Sheâs crying alone,â uttered Brian. Heaving a helpless sigh, Eugene pleaded, âPlease help me persuade her.â âWhy donât you do it yourself?â Brian tossed the question back at him.
Sucking a deep breath of cigarette, Eugene replied, âShe doesnât want to see me.â Hearing that, Brian shook his head weakly, saying, âNo matter how hard I try, itâs hard to persuade her heart.â
âThen please stay by her side and let me know if anything comes up, Eugene responded. Brian replied curtly in agreement and hung up the phone. Looking at the closed door of the bathroom, he silently wondered if that was what Olivia meant by the trust when she talked to Nathan this evening. When one put all their trust in someone but it turned out to be a plot, no one would possibly accept the fact, would they?
Squeak! The bathroom door was opened and out came Olivia. Though she had washed her face and tried her best to put on her usual expression, Brian could tell at a glance that she had cried. âAre you okay, Olivia?â
Forcing a smile, Olivia answered, âIâm fine. You should get some sleep. You need rest after taking blood.â
âIâm feeling okay. I heard from Eugene just now. He wanted to tell you about the matter sooner, but he was afraid that youâd get upset with him and heâll ruin everything that you two have built over time. He was just scared. He didnât want to deceive you on purpose.â
âDid you know about this too?â Olivia questioned as she knitted her brows together. Brian nodded. âYeah. He told me a while ago. In fact, after your return, Iâve already heard about this. Eugene had been single for a long time and was looking for a woman, apparently. You were the one he was looking for.â
Olivia had calmed down now and when she thought about it, Eugene did tell her about it. When he was pursuing her, he kept telling her that he had always been looking for her.
However, she didnât believe him. Who knew fate would be so cruel to put two of them together again after all the twists and turns in life? And they even turned into a couple?
Just as the thought of defending Eugene came into mind, another sound interrupted her train of thought. No! Thatâs not it! He planned everything out beforehand!
Ever since the beginning, he had never wanted to be in a relationship with her. He wanted nothing to do with her. He merely wanted to see North. He wanted their son!
