Chapter 1066 Did You Even Think About Them?
Olivia could only silently follow along. She was trying her best not to look at him, or else she might lose her temper.
After the doctor gave a few instructions and left, the ward suddenly fell silent. Olivia, too, sat by the bed, not looking
at Eugene or saying a word.
Feeling uneasy, Eugene reached out to grab her hand while softly calling out to her. "Olivia…"
Olivia did end up turning to look at him, albeit still staying quiet.
"Don't be mad, hmm? I didn't really think at that moment. I just thought that she would certainly die if she fell with
her limbs tied up. She did save my life, after all. I couldn't just watch her die, and that's why I jumped."
Olivia responded, "Right, I understand. You should rest for a while."
Despite her words, Eugene didn't feel confident about her answer at all. He tightened his grip on her hand and
asked, "Olivia, are you still angry?"
She quietly took a deep breath, then looked into his eyes and shook her head.
However, Eugene knew that she was only trying to make him feel better. She was being forced to be understanding
yet again.

"Stop it," Olivia commented. "Are you hungry? How about I buy you something to eat?"
Eugene nodded. "Ask someone to buy it. Stay here with me."
She hummed in agreement. "Fine."
After that, she made a phone call.
Meanwhile, Eugene kept holding her hand tightly as if afraid that she would disappear.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps could be heard outside the ward. Olivia turned her head toward the sound and saw
Ellen and Brian, both looking disheveled.
Ellen was startled when she saw Eugene lying on the hospital bed. "Eugene, are you okay?"
"I'm alright. It's just a minor wound," he stated.
"You're alright?" Ellen immediately scolded him. "You would have been dead if Olivia hadn't saved you! Do you really
think I don't know anything?"
Eugene replied with a smile, "But I'm fine now, aren't I? You have a genius doctor for a daughter-in-law. Don't
worry!"
Brian also frowned upon hearing that. "Don't start getting creative with ways to end your life just because she is
good at what she does."
Eugene's expression darkened as he asked, "What do you mean I'm trying to end my life?"
"Ha! You jumped down from such a height! What else could you be doing if you weren't trying to end your life?"
Eugene's voice began to falter. "I was just… in a rush to save—"
Before he could finish his sentence, Brian interrupted, "And what kind of person was it that's worth you risking your
life for?"
Ellen added, "Exactly! Did you even think about your wife and children?"
Eugene fell silent at that.
Although Olivia wasn't entirely happy with Eugene as well, she couldn't help speaking up on his behalf.
"It's someone who saved Eugene before. If it weren't for her help back then, Eugene wouldn't be here today. He
only wanted to repay her kindness."
It was Ellen's turn to frown now. "Someone who saved him? Where is she, then?"
Brian was calmer than Ellen. "Even if it's someone who saved you, you can't exchange one life for another. Haven't
you thought about the innocent people who are worried about you and waiting for you at home?"
These words undoubtedly struck a chord with Olivia. She wanted to say something, but considering Eugene's injury,

"Alright, now. Eugene turned out fine anyway. Mrs. Nolan and Brian, you don't need to worry anymore."
Brian let out a deep sigh. "I'll stay here tonight. Olivia, you should go home and take care of North. How about you
come back tomorrow?"
"There's no need. I can handle it myself."
At that, Ellen suggested, "Would you like to have the children sent to our place?"
Olivia was also concerned about the children, especially since it would take one or two weeks for Eugene's injuries
to heal. She wouldn't be able to send them to or pick them up from school.
And so, she nodded in agreement. "Alright. I'll have to trouble you with that, Mrs. Nolan. Can you help me take care
of the kids as well, Brian?"
Brian and Ellen spoke up in unison. "There is nothing troublesome about this. We're family!"
As they were still exchanging pleasantries, a series of knocks came from the door.
Everyone turned their heads toward the sound, only to see Azalea holding a large bag of food.
Olivia couldn't help the way her face immediately fell. "What are you doing here?" she demanded.
Azalea put on a pitiful face and mumbled, "I'm here to see Eugene…"
