Unfinished Business with You

Chapter 70

“E-Eugene...” Upon wiping away the blood over his eyes, Robin’s mind went blank while he trembled as he turned around to get a clearer sight of the person before him.

“I’m sure you have a death wish.” There was a bone-chilling quality to Eugene’s tone of voice as he wore a cold expression. The two other men crashed into Robin upon being kicked over by Olivia before he could give a response, while Robin cried out in pain as he nearly passed out.

While examining Olivia from head to toe, Eugene could feel the lingering fear in his heart. There was also a sharp prickling sensation to his heart upon noticing that her hair was tousled, her clothes dirty, her wrists red due to the struggle during the strife.

“Are you alright?” He thus asked, to which Olivia shook her head in response. Despite the ensuing fury, he dared not imagine what would happen if he arrived even one second later. “Go get changed, then we’ll go to the hospital for a check up.” He then made a call on his phone to have his men come over.

“I’m alright, so we should pay your grandfather a visit first. Wait here while I go get changed.” Upon taking a deep breath, Olivia entered the room after having said so. The limp on her leg hurt as she sat down on the bed, but aside from the bruise that made it evident that she was hurt, she knew not how she hurt it. It was fortunate that her kids weren’t home, or else she wouldn’t manage to take care of everything on her own.

After applying first aid to her wounds, Olivia put on a new pair of jeans before leaving her room. The living room was already cleaned when she got back out, and no trace of blood was left on the scene.

“I will somehow make this up to you!” There was an apologetic look in Eugene’s gaze as he looked at her from where he stood in the living room.

“It’s fine. They already got their *ss kicked anyway.” Olivia took a deep breath before speaking. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“You need not concern yourself with the follow-up.” So was his reply. The both of them then drove to Nolan Residence.

After a couple of visits, Olivia was no stranger to the Nolan Residence. She saw Eugene’s father, Edward, who exuded an aura of superiority. Although Eugene looked nothing like Brian, the both of them bore semblance to Edward.

Edward greeted Olivia before she could, “You must be Doctor Maxwell! Thank you for saving my old man!”

“It’s part of my job, so you don’t have to thank me,” Olivia replied.

“His age is catching up to him, so please treat him to the best of your abilities,” Edward said.

“Worry not, as I will do my best,” Olivia responded in kind. If she were to be frank, she was no good at pleasantries, but nor did Edward say much else aside from reminding Eugene to look into it before leaving the room. It didn’t seem like Edward cared about the old man at all when compared to Eugene, but Olivia chose to keep her silence upon noticing how unfazed Eugene was.

They entered Merlin’s room to see him in good spirits while greeting Olivia, “Why didn’t you bring the kid with you?”

Judging from the fact that Merlin inquired about North after having spoken to him for a long while last time, Olivia was glad as she determined that Merlin liked North a lot. “North is at school, Master Merlin.”

“Oh, you sure have a great kid, Olivia!” The old man nodded his head.

“But he can also be infuriating at times.” Olivia let out a chuckle.

“Grandpa, let Doctor Maxwell give you a checkup.” Eugene sounded concerned.

”Sure, go ahead.” Merlin gave his consent.

Upon gaining his consent, Olivia took out a small pillow before checking on his pulse, all the while inquiring about his mood, diet, sleep and others. Ten minutes later, she looked at Merlin with a smile before saying, “You seem to be in good condition, so keep it up.”

“It’s all thanks to you.” Merlin barked a laugh upon hearing what she said.

“Please don’t say that, Master Merlin. Your grandson is the true hero! He’s the one who was worried sick!” Upon casting a glance at Eugene, Olivia replied with much humility.
