Chapter 44: Marrying Him When I Grow Up
As the evening wore on, Isabelle bid her farewell, leaving Olivia alone with the two little ones who followed her around like tiny shadows.
Olivia tidied up for a while before she had the chance to turn around and attend to them.
“Did you have a good day at kindergarten? Did you have any arguments with your friends?” Olivia asked, concerned about their well-being.
The two children pondered for a moment before nodding enthusiastically. “It was fun. When we finished school today, the other kids gave us a lot of snacks!”
Upon hearing this, Olivia couldn’t help but laugh. “You guys are so popular, huh?”
Ethan nodded seriously and glanced at Sebastian beside him. “There was also a girl who said she wants to marry Sebastian when she grows up!”
“Really?” Olivia looked at her own son with amusement.
Sebastian, uncharacteristically bashful, hesitated for a moment before glancing at his brother with a slightly blushing face. “There was one, but I didn’t agree.”
Ethan pinched his ear and made a funny face at him.
Olivia’s face lit up with joy as she observed the two children playing around.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Although it was getting late, the two little ones kept pestering her, talking about the interesting things at kindergarten for a while.
Most of the time, Ethan would ramble on, and then Sebastian would summarize the highlights.
Olivia listened attentively, occasionally laughing at their adorable expressions.
By the time she realized it, it was almost ten o’clock.
“It’s time to go to bed. You still have to go to kindergarten tomorrow!”
Olivia suppressed her smile and urged the two little ones to rest.
The two obediently stopped talking and went upstairs to rest.
The next morning, Olivia took them to kindergarten and then drove to the research institute.
After the morning meeting, Olivia came out of the conference room with Gabriel.
“How was the situation yesterday? Do you have a solution for Old Whitaker’s condition?”
Gabriel asked, concerned.
Olivia nodded slightly. “Old Whitaker’s condition seems severe, and the treatment is a bit tricky, but it’s not unsolvable. It will just take a longer treatment period. I’ll be going there frequently these days, so I’ll rely on you here.”
Upon hearing this, Gabriel’s eyes were filled with admiration, and he teased, “I never expected that the Whitaker family, who has sought out countless famous doctors but found no solution, would find the situation less tricky in your hands. Dr. Prescott, your words make us feel inadequate!”
He was joking, but it was also the truth.
After all, among those helpless doctors was Gabriel himself. Olivia smiled nonchalantly, “It’s just that it happens to be my area of expertise.”
Seeing her calm demeanor, Gabriel felt a flutter in his heart.
“By the way, although Old Whitaker hasn’t recovered yet, the Whitaker family has agreed to provide us with medicinal herbs. We should be able to sign the contract today. Moreover, the first batch will be supplied for free, which resolves our urgent need. We won’t have to worry about medicinal herbs anymore.”
Olivia mentioned the supply of medicinal herbs, and her face was filled with joy at the thought. Gabriel raised his eyebrows in surprise. “Really? The Whitaker family is willing to sign the contract with us as soon as Old Whitaker wakes up?”
Olivia nodded, a smile adorning her face.
Accepting her affirmation, Gabriel praised, “It seems that they have been convinced by your medical skills. You’re amazing.”
Olivia smiled calmly. “I just did what I could. I hope there won’t be any unexpected complications with Old Whitaker’s condition.”
“With you personally attending to him, everything will undoubtedly go smoothly,” Gabriel said confidently.
