Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 715

"No can do," the father and son said in unison. Looking at each other, Eugene and North smiled; the little guy had

finally interacted with his father.

Holding onto Olivia's hands, Eugene stated, "We can't leave a time-bomb ticking like this. Otherwise, I can't go to

sleep at night knowing that someone is constantly plotting against you."

North nodded in agreement.

Nathan pitched in too, "That's right. We have to get to the bottom of this. It will be terrifying to live with a constant

threat lurking in the shadows."

Hearing this, Olivia thought they made sense too. "Okay. Let's dig deeper, then."

She then looked at Eugene again. "Eugene, can I be discharged already? I'm fine now and it's so suffocating to stay

here."

Patiently, he replied, "The doctor said you need to be observed for forty-eight hours. We'll discharge you if you're

okay by tomorrow. Just one more day, alright?"

"But, I want to go home and shower. I feel filthy," whined Olivia.

Raising his eyebrows, Eugene had a thought and suggested, "How about I bathe you tonight?"

At that moment, the air became still and Nathan, Kate and North were all speechless. My God, he really is bold,

thought Nathan; My God, have the two become that close already? thought Kate; My God, I'm still young! thought

North.

Olivia's face instantly flushed red as she stared at him. Does he have a death wish?

Looking at everyone's gaping mouths, Eugene finally realized what he just uttered.

Innocently, he purely meant what he said as he did not bear any ulterior motives. All he was thinking about was to

wipe her down with a towel as an alternative for showering.

Since they were already together and had done all sorts of things a couple would, wiping her down was not a big

deal, right?

At this point, Kate was afraid that Olivia might ask for her help instead. If that happened, would it be wiser to run or

stay?

If I help her, Eugene will think that I'm an eyesore.

If I don't, that petty girl would say that I'm heartless!

In the end, she came to the conclusion that she should just leave!

Smiling, she said, "Since President Nolan is here, I'll leave for now. Call me if anything happens." With that, she took

her bag and went out.

"Hey—"

Just as Olivia was about to stop her, Kate was already out of her sight.

Oh, well. She slipped away faster than a rat.

I was just trying to ask her to bathe me instead…

With Eugene helping me, that's no different than playing with fire.

Understanding the situation, Nathan quickly said, "I'll be leaving too. Do call if you need me, Uncle." He then exited

the ward.

North looked at the two innocently and asked, "Should I do the same too?" The two escapees left in a hurry as if

Eugene was about to bathe Olivia right here and then; the situation was all deciphered by the little guy.

Innocantly, ha puraly maant what ha said as ha did not baar any ultarior motivas. All ha was thinking about was to

wipa har down with a towal as an altarnativa for showaring.

Sinca thay wara alraady togathar and had dona all sorts of things a coupla would, wiping har down was not a big

daal, right?

At this point, Kata was afraid that Olivia might ask for har halp instaad. If that happanad, would it ba wisar to run or

stay?

If I halp har, Eugana will think that I'm an ayasora.

If I don't, that patty girl would say that I'm haartlass!

In tha and, sha cama to tha conclusion that sha should just laava!

Smiling, sha said, "Sinca Prasidant Nolan is hara, I'll laava for now. Call ma if anything happans." With that, sha took

har bag and want out.

"Hay—"

Just as Olivia was about to stop har, Kata was alraady out of har sight.

Oh, wall. Sha slippad away fastar than a rat.

I was just trying to ask har to batha ma instaad…

With Eugana halping ma, that's no diffarant than playing with fira.

Undarstanding tha situation, Nathan quickly said, "I'll ba laaving too. Do call if you naad ma, Uncla." Ha than axitad

tha ward.

North lookad at tha two innocantly and askad, "Should I do tha sama too?" Tha two ascapaas laft in a hurry as if

Eugana was about to batha Olivia right hara and than; tha situation was all dacipharad by tha littla guy.

"And where would you be going?"

North answered, "Home, of course!"

"Why didn't you ask Nathan to send you back?"

Pouting, North rebuked, "He must have gone to chase god-mother. I don't wanna be a third-wheel."

This made Olivia look at him with a questioning gaze before she averted her gaze at Eugene.

The father and son were perplexed by her gaze.

"What's wrong?" asked Eugene.

Olivia stated, "Don't you think our son is maturing a tad too fast? He seems to know about everything."

At a loss of words, North uttered, "Mommy, I'm already eight years old."

"And is that supposed to be old? Besides, you haven't even celebrated your seventh birthday."

"I'm already considered eight!"

Eugene laughed upon hearing their conversation. Haha. If only she knew… that North wanted to board an airplane

to visit Dora and that he'd even enquired about the ticket pricing already. I wonder what her reaction would be by

then?

"It is natural for kids to know more since they are receptive to all the vast information around them. Besides, our

son is into computers, so isn't it natural for him to know more than something? Relax. With a mother like you by his

side, I'm sure nothing bad will happen. I even believe that he's mature thanks to you."
