Chapter 1007 An Artificial Womb

Olivia thought about it for a moment before saying, "Fine, I'll head over to your place."

Two minutes later, she tiptoed out of her apartment and went up to the 60th floor.

As soon as she came up, the apartment door was opened; Eugene stood at the door while smiling at

her. "Darling, I miss you so much," he said while stretching out his arms to hug her.

Olivia mercilessly smacked his arms away with a scowl. "Don't hug me with arms that you've put

around another woman before."

Eugene stared at her with puppy-dog eyes. "I didn't hug her, darling. I only pushed her away after she

threw herself at me."

Olivia nodded before letting out a coquettish snort. "Yeah, but she's thrown herself into your arms

nonetheless, so don't hug me ever again," she said before entering the apartment like a boss making

an inspection. "Don't tell me there's someone else in here, too? Come on, spill it out! Or I'm not gonna

set foot in here."

Eugene was speechless. What is she talking about? This is getting more and more absurd. He strode

over and scooped her up in his arms at once. After carrying her into the living room, he immediately

pinned her beneath him.

Olivia pushed him angrily. "Eugene, you b*stard! Get off me or I'll make you incapacitated all night! You

want to give it a try?"

Eugene chuckled. "You brought your needles today?"

Olivia was lost for words. What a rascal! "I'll bring them with me when I come over next time. Just you

wait!"

Eugene laughed. Staring at her affectionately, he tucked her hair behind her ears. "I've changed my

clothes and washed my hands. I have you in my arms right now, and I'm not gonna hug anyone else

anymore—no, I won't let anyone hug me ever again. I'll only hug my girlfriend, alright?"

Olivia let out a snort before turning her head away to ignore him.

Eugene rubbed his head against hers to force her to look back at him. "I'll only kiss you from now on,

okay?" he said while pecking her on the lips.

"How shameless."

Eugene let out a deep chuckle. "Why would I feel shame at courting my wife?"

This guy's behaving more and more like a rascal. "Get up now."

Eugene rested his elbows at her sides for fear of crushing her with his weight. He asked in a gentle

voice, "Are you still angry, then?"

"I'm gonna get angry if you don't get up now."

Eugene obediently sat up before helping her sit up, too. Then, he smiled ingratiatingly, asking, "Would

you like to eat anything? I'll get it for you."

Olivia pondered for a moment before saying, "Peel an apple for me, then."

Eugene laughed. "This is no longer too difficult for me now," he replied while taking an apple to peel it.

He did it slowly, but it was obvious that he was doing it much better than before—he didn't even break

the apple skin.

It didn't take long before a peeled apple was handed to Olivia. Taking it from the man, she ate it without

a qualm while asking, "You said just now that it was Carter and others whom George wanted to look

into?"

Eugene nodded. "Yeah, North said that. What did you mean by your main doctor's secret just now?"

Olivia put down the apple in her hand. "This is a secret. Actually, my main doctor is a national-level

professor and a research maniac. Over all these years, he's been researching an artificial womb that

can substitute for the female reproductive system. According to his theory, all that's needed is sperm

and an egg from a man and a woman, respectively. Then, the researchers will insert the fertilized egg

into the artificial womb and supplement nutrition as needed according to the developing fetus'

nutritional requirements. It's said that this allows the extraction of the best genes and ensures that the

baby will be born healthy and intelligent," she said. "This research has been going on before I went

there. I don't know about the specifics, but I heard it wasn't going smoothly. It was precisely because

something went wrong in the laboratory that George suddenly went back last time."
