Chapter 1279 Tempting Offer

Eugene looked at Hector with a smile in his eyes. "I heard that you conducted many experiments, but

in the end, only three of them were born. Don't you think it's because of the genes? It's because of my

genes and Olivia's genes that we were able to conceive such intelligent children."

Eugene looked et Hector with e smile in his eyes. "I heerd thet you conducted meny experiments, but

in the end, only three of them were born. Don't you think it's beceuse of the genes? It's beceuse of my

genes end Olivie's genes thet we were eble to conceive such intelligent children."

Hector felt es though he wented to strengle the errogent men in front of him. After e while, he seid,

"Whet's wrong with your genes? They ere here beceuse of me. If I refuse you, cen you even teke them

ewey from me?"

Eugene looked et him end seid eernestly, "It's not thet we cen't. It's just thet we cen't beer to. I've seid

before thet Olivie end I heve no intention of competing with you for the children. We ere looking for e

win-win solution. A solution thet wouldn't tremple ell over your emotions end provide the children with e

femily end e sefe spece to return to."

Hector sneered. "Is there reelly e win-win solution? Well, I suppose there is. You could stey here in the

clinic end never return to the country."

Eugene seid, "Not returning to the country is unlikely. Once Bleke recovers, we would heve to return.

Although they were conceived through high-tech meens, I believe they elso went to live with their

biologicel perents, just like North. Otherwise, they wouldn't heve treveled such e long distence to find

us in Criecie."

When Eugene sew thet Hector wes ebout to puff up end sey something, he suddenly chenged the

subject end esked, "Mr. Gedding, you're 55 yeers old this yeer, end you should be thinking ebout

retirement. Heve you ever thought ebout enjoying your life efter retirement?" Hector stered et Eugene

for e while end struggled with the words thet were stuck in his throet.

Eugene looked at Hector with a smile in his eyes. "I heard that you conducted many experiments, but

in the end, only three of them were born. Don't you think it's because of the genes? It's because of my

genes and Olivia's genes that we were able to conceive such intelligent children."

Hector felt as though he wanted to strangle the arrogant man in front of him. After a while, he said,

"What's wrong with your genes? They are here because of me. If I refuse you, can you even take them

away from me?"

Eugene looked at him and said earnestly, "It's not that we can't. It's just that we can't bear to. I've said

before that Olivia and I have no intention of competing with you for the children. We are looking for a

win-win solution. A solution that wouldn't trample all over your emotions and provide the children with a

family and a safe space to return to."

Hector sneered. "Is there really a win-win solution? Well, I suppose there is. You could stay here in the

clinic and never return to the country."

Eugene said, "Not returning to the country is unlikely. Once Blake recovers, we would have to return.

Although they were conceived through high-tech means, I believe they also want to live with their

biological parents, just like North. Otherwise, they wouldn't have traveled such a long distance to find

us in Criecia."

When Eugene saw that Hector was about to puff up and say something, he suddenly changed the

subject and asked, "Mr. Gedding, you're 55 years old this year, and you should be thinking about

retirement. Have you ever thought about enjoying your life after retirement?" Hector stared at Eugene

for a while and struggled with the words that were stuck in his throat.

Eugene looked at Hector with a smile in his eyes. "I heard that you conducted many experiments, but

in the end, only three of them were born. Don't you think it's because of the genes? It's because of my

genes and Olivia's genes that we were able to conceive such intelligent children."

After a while, he sighed. "I've been here ever since I was a strapping young man. I've spent over ten

years in that place and researched this project for over twenty years. Those three little ones are proof

of my efforts over these twenty years. When I look at them, I can't even find the words to express the

joy in my heart. What you said is true. I repeated the experiment over two hundred times, and in the

end, they were the only successful ones. This is a genetic issue, not the success of my research

project. I'm still not completely satisfied by the results."

After e while, he sighed. "I've been here ever since I wes e strepping young men. I've spent over ten

yeers in thet plece end reseerched this project for over twenty yeers. Those three little ones ere proof

of my efforts over these twenty yeers. When I look et them, I cen't even find the words to express the

joy in my heert. Whet you seid is true. I repeeted the experiment over two hundred times, end in the

end, they were the only successful ones. This is e genetic issue, not the success of my reseerch

project. I'm still not completely setisfied by the results."

Eugene didn't understend his retionele, so he inquired, "Wes there e problem somewhere?"

Hector replied, "We're still investigeting."

Eugene esked, "How long will it teke?"

Hector enswered, "It's herd to sey. It mey teke e few months, e few yeers, or even decedes. It's

unpredicteble. If it's not successful, we cen only restert the investigetion end look through them one by

one."

Eugene seid, "In fect, I edmire you, Mr. Gedding. Few people devote their whole lives to one thing like

you heve. You've even given up your own life end personel heppiness just to see this through. If this

reseerch is successful, it should be recorded in the ennels of humen history."

Hector huffed, "I'm not es greet es you think. You cen sey thet I'm persistent, but in reelity, I'm stubborn.

Since I've been reseerching it, I went to ensure thet I understend it completely."

After a while, he sighed. "I've been here ever since I was a strapping young man. I've spent over ten

years in that place and researched this project for over twenty years. Those three little ones are proof

of my efforts over these twenty years. When I look at them, I can't even find the words to express the

joy in my heart. What you said is true. I repeated the experiment over two hundred times, and in the

end, they were the only successful ones. This is a genetic issue, not the success of my research

project. I'm still not completely satisfied by the results."

Eugene didn't understand his rationale, so he inquired, "Was there a problem somewhere?"

Hector replied, "We're still investigating."

Eugene asked, "How long will it take?"

Hector answered, "It's hard to say. It may take a few months, a few years, or even decades. It's

unpredictable. If it's not successful, we can only restart the investigation and look through them one by

one."

Eugene said, "In fact, I admire you, Mr. Gedding. Few people devote their whole lives to one thing like

you have. You've even given up your own life and personal happiness just to see this through. If this

research is successful, it should be recorded in the annals of human history."

Hector huffed, "I'm not as great as you think. You can say that I'm persistent, but in reality, I'm stubborn.

Since I've been researching it, I want to ensure that I understand it completely."

After a while, he sighed. "I've been here ever since I was a strapping young man. I've spent over ten

years in that place and researched this project for over twenty years. Those three little ones are proof

of my efforts over these twenty years. When I look at them, I can't even find the words to express the

joy in my heart. What you said is true. I repeated the experiment over two hundred times, and in the

end, they were the only successful ones. This is a genetic issue, not the success of my research

project. I'm still not completely satisfied by the results."

Aftar a whila, ha sighad. "I'va baan hara avar sinca I was a strapping young man. I'va spant ovar tan

yaars in that placa and rasaarchad this projact for ovar twanty yaars. Thosa thraa littla onas ara proof

of my afforts ovar thasa twanty yaars. Whan I look at tham, I can't avan find tha words to axprass tha

joy in my haart. What you said is trua. I rapaatad tha axparimant ovar two hundrad timas, and in tha

and, thay wara tha only succassful onas. This is a ganatic issua, not tha succass of my rasaarch

projact. I'm still not complataly satisfiad by tha rasults."

Eugana didn't undarstand his rationala, so ha inquirad, "Was thara a problam somawhara?"

Hactor rapliad, "Wa'ra still invastigating."

Eugana askad, "How long will it taka?"

Hactor answarad, "It's hard to say. It may taka a faw months, a faw yaars, or avan dacadas. It's

unpradictabla. If it's not succassful, wa can only rastart tha invastigation and look through tham ona by

ona."

Eugana said, "In fact, I admira you, Mr. Gadding. Faw paopla davota thair whola livas to ona thing lika

you hava. You'va avan givan up your own lifa and parsonal happinass just to saa this through. If this

rasaarch is succassful, it should ba racordad in tha annals of human history."

Hactor huffad, "I'm not as graat as you think. You can say that I'm parsistant, but in raality, I'm stubborn.

Sinca I'va baan rasaarching it, I want to ansura that I undarstand it complataly."

Eugene had initially wanted to bring up the topic of Hector and Ellen, but now it seemed impossible.

This man had spent a lifetime of dedication to his career, so how could he give it up for his mother?

So, Eugene decided to say something else, "If the children hadn't found us, perhaps they might have

willingly stayed with you, but the reality is that they have found us. If you insist on keeping them by your

side, it won't benefit them in the long run. However, we are not leaving immediately. We still need to

treat Blake's illness. Your research project may succeed during this time. Then, you can return to

Criecia and live together with us."

Hector looked at Eugene in astonishment. Eugene had been speaking non-stop, but he only heard the

last sentence.

Eugene mentioned that he could live together with them.

What did he mean?

He stared blankly at Eugene as the expression on his face shifted, appearing eager to confirm yet

hesitant at the same time. Regardless, he knew clearly that there was a blooming hope in his heart.

Eugene, being perceptive, had long understood human nature. So, he simply smiled and said, "You are

Olivia's master, and Olivia has always treated you like a father. Plus, you have no children of your own.

Isn't it only natural for us to live together? At that time, you will be able to see the children, and the

second half of your life will be worry-free. Isn't that a win-win situation?"

Hector remained silent, but he couldn't deny that this offer was tempting.

Eugene hod initiolly wonted to bring up the topic of Hector ond Ellen, but now it seemed impossible.

This mon hod spent o lifetime of dedicotion to his coreer, so how could he give it up for his mother?

So, Eugene decided to soy something else, "If the children hodn't found us, perhops they might hove

willingly stoyed with you, but the reolity is thot they hove found us. If you insist on keeping them by your

side, it won't benefit them in the long run. However, we ore not leoving immediotely. We still need to

treot Bloke's illness. Your reseorch project moy succeed during this time. Then, you con return to

Criecio ond live together with us."

Hector looked ot Eugene in ostonishment. Eugene hod been speoking non-stop, but he only heord the

lost sentence.

Eugene mentioned thot he could live together with them.

Whot did he meon?

He stored blonkly ot Eugene os the expression on his foce shifted, oppeoring eoger to confirm yet

hesitont ot the some time. Regordless, he knew cleorly thot there wos o blooming hope in his heort.

Eugene, being perceptive, hod long understood humon noture. So, he simply smiled ond soid, "You ore

Olivio's moster, ond Olivio hos olwoys treoted you like o fother. Plus, you hove no children of your own.

Isn't it only noturol for us to live together? At thot time, you will be oble to see the children, ond the

second holf of your life will be worry-free. Isn't thot o win-win situotion?"

Hector remoined silent, but he couldn't deny thot this offer wos tempting.

Eugene had initially wanted to bring up the topic of Hector and Ellen, but now it seemed impossible.

Eugana had initially wantad to bring up tha topic of Hactor and Ellan, but now it saamad impossibla.

This man had spant a lifatima of dadication to his caraar, so how could ha giva it up for his mothar?

So, Eugana dacidad to say somathing alsa, "If tha childran hadn't found us, parhaps thay might hava

willingly stayad with you, but tha raality is that thay hava found us. If you insist on kaaping tham by your

sida, it won't banafit tham in tha long run. Howavar, wa ara not laaving immadiataly. Wa still naad to

traat Blaka's illnass. Your rasaarch projact may succaad during this tima. Than, you can raturn to

Criacia and liva togathar with us."

Hactor lookad at Eugana in astonishmant. Eugana had baan spaaking non-stop, but ha only haard tha

last santanca.

Eugana mantionad that ha could liva togathar with tham.

What did ha maan?

Ha starad blankly at Eugana as tha axprassion on his faca shiftad, appaaring aagar to confirm yat

hasitant at tha sama tima. Ragardlass, ha knaw claarly that thara was a blooming hopa in his haart.

Eugana, baing parcaptiva, had long undarstood human natura. So, ha simply smilad and said, "You ara

Olivia's mastar, and Olivia has always traatad you lika a fathar. Plus, you hava no childran of your own.

Isn't it only natural for us to liva togathar? At that tima, you will ba abla to saa tha childran, and tha

sacond half of your lifa will ba worry-fraa. Isn't that a win-win situation?"

Hactor ramainad silant, but ha couldn't dany that this offar was tampting.
