Chapter 701
Cristina remained where she was without moving.
Eugene continued to clean his face with the water.
Seeing this, Cristina came over. She stood in front of him, picked up a towel, and tried to help him with the wounds
on his forehead. “She’s your stepmother?”
Eugene looked at Cristina and said, “Are you taking pity on me?”
Cristina looked at him and said, “Aren’t you good at it? You were so good at hurting me. Why did you get yourself
hurt now in front of your mother?”
Eugene heard her words and said, “It’s no big deal. It’s not like she’s going to kill me!”
Ella had to depend on him for the rest of her life, so she wouldn’t want to kill him.
Cristina looked at Eugene in disbelief. He just allowed his mother to beat him up as she pleased because his mother
wasn’t going to kill him?
Cristina couldn’t believe that Eugene had said something like that.

Eugene lowered his head and washed his hands, without answering.
Cristina said, “It’s against the law for her to do that. Why don’t you sue her? She can’t treat you like that even if
she’s your mother, can she?”
Hearing her words, Eugene looked at Cristina. “Are you nuts?”
Cristina was stunned. “What did you say?”
She was so concerned about him! Yet he called her nuts?
Eugene said, “That’s my mother. Who are you to say that about her? I had feelings for you before. Does that make
you think that you are my girlfriend? I don’t love you, Cristina. You should know that. Don’t get it wrong.”
With that, Eugene pushed her away and went straight to the walk-in closet.
He stood in front of the mirror, changed his clothes, and walked out to take care of his wounds as usual.
Cristina stood there and looked at him, thinking of what he had just said.
She didn’t know what she had done to offend him.
Nor did she know why he had to treat her like this.
When Eugene and Cristina came downstairs, Roderick and the two kids were alone in the living room.
Eugene asked, “Where’s Theresa?”
“Next door,” Roderick said. “She’s helping your mother with acupuncture.”
Ella was very cooperative!
She didn’t resist.
Eugene took a seat after hearing Roderick’s words.
Roderick took a look at the wounds on his head and said, “You are getting better at dealing with your wounds.”
Cristina just came down from upstairs and felt her arms and legs become stiff when she heard
Roderick’s words.
Eugene didn’t say anything.
Roderick turned to Cristina. Seeing her sullen face, he said, “Cristina, what’s wrong with you?”
Cristina walked over when she heard this and sat down on the couch. “Nothing.”
After that, neither Eugene nor Cristina talked. Only Roderick said something to the two kids from time to
time.

After a long time, Theresa opened the door.
Seeing that, Cristina stood up and walked in first.
Theresa was packing up her stuff and Ella was sitting next to her. Cristina looked at Ella with mixed
feelings.
Before Theresa could stop her, Cristina had already sat down in front of Ella.
Ella looked at Cristina curiously.
Cristina said, “Why did you do that to Eugene?”
Ella was confused when she heard Cristina’s words. She stared at Cristina, who was agitated. It was Theresa who
had stopped Ella just now in the dining room.
However, Ella could tell that Cristina was different.
Thinking of this, she smiled, “You love him?”
Cristina stared at Ella, who looked like a lunatic, and repeated her question. “I’m asking, why did
that to him?”
