Unfinished Business with You
Chapter 226
Eugene calmly raised his eyes and cast him a glance. âYou are the younger brother of Olivia and I, and
also the uncle of the child, so taking care of you is something I should do!â
âIâm not. My matters have nothing to do with you!â After saying that, Brian directly turned around and
left.
Eugene sat on the couch. After some time, the corner of his lips curled up into a slight arc before he got
up and left.
Meanwhile, in the hospital, on one of the beds lay two patientsâAnna and Amy.
Last night, it was already 3AM when Henry found Anna. Then, she was immediately sent to the
hospital. After two hours of emergency treatment, though her life was no longer in danger, her injuries
were rather seriousâshe had a broken leg and concussion. Her head was completely bandaged while
she had bruises all over her body, and she was in a coma.
Amy, on the other hand, had only light injuriesâshe only had a knife cut on her shoulder. However,
every time she saw Annaâs tragic condition, she couldnât hold herself back from saying a few words.
âThat daughter of yours has really taken this too far. Even if Anna really took that child, she was just
giving her a fright to vent her anger. Anyway, nothing happened to the child, so there wasnât a need for
her to go overboard with this! You should report this to the police. In fact, you should go now. I donât
think that she should act lawlessly!â
Henry lowered his eyes and kept quiet. The words that Olivia said to him last night on the phoneâhow
could you be so cruelâkept echoing by his ears. He, in fact, was hurt by the words; her trembling voice
obviously revealed that she had been scared to death.
âShe isnât lawless; itâs Eugene. What can you do with her when Eugene is protecting her? Anyway, it
was your daughter who lay her hands on them first.â
Amy replied, âAnna is the aunt of the child, so there was nothing wrong for her to take the child away,
but Eugene actually stabbed me. We are your wife and daughter, so how could you just watch on when
weâre bullied by them? Look at how theyâve beaten Anna up; sheâs your daughter too. Donât you feel
distressed for her?â
âYou felt worried when you couldnât find your daughter, so it would only be natural for them to feel
anxious when they couldnât find their son. Youâre saying that they hit her; I would've done that as well if
it werenât for the fact that sheâs lying on the bed. She kept bullying her elder sister. Iâve advised her so
many times to not do so, but has she ever listened to me? Itâs the fault of both of you that you two have
ended up like this!â
Amy yelled in frustration. âHenry Maxwell! What do you mean by saying that this is our fault? Who have
I ever offended? I was stabbed without any reasons. Donât you think that your words are too harsh?â
âItâs your daughter who did such a thing, so itâs your fault as her mother for not bringing her up well.
How is this without any reason?!â
âA childâs mistake is also the fatherâs fault, but now you are sitting at one side, watching us in pain,
while throwing sarcastic words at us. How are you actually helping the situation? Both Olivia and you
treat us as outsiders, which explains why you are so harsh toward us. Sheâs your daughter, but the two
of us are just people you picked up from somewhere else, and we are just irrelevant people to you,
right?â
Henry frowned. âHavenât I gotten enough of what I deserved? Iâd always loved and favored the two of
you, so I ended up like this. I was so blind that I didnât realize that both of you kept hurting my daughter
over and over again. I love both of you, but Olivia is my daughter too, so I love her as well. But now,
she probably hates me to the bones.â
Right after he said that, the phone in his hand rang, and his assistantâs voice was heard from the
phone. âPresident Maxwell, w-where are you?â
Henryâs expression fell. âWhatâs wrong?â
The assistantâs voice sounded fearful yet cautious. âYouâd better come to the company to have a look.
Our company suddenly lost a lot of orders, and plenty of employees left without regard for their salaries
and bonuses!â
Hearing that, Henryâs expression tremendously changed, and he abruptly jumped to his feet from the
chair. âWhat did you just say? Is there someone intentionally targeting us?â
The assistantâs words were then heard. âYes. All of them are going to work in Nolan Group. The salary
and benefits there are double of what we are given here. That company is a big company that we
normally couldnât get into, but they stated that all your employees can immediately enter and work there
if we go there today. More than half of the employees in the company have left. I⦠President Maxwell,
thank you for your care all this while. Iâm planning to leave as well.â
