Chapter 132
Olivia tried to stay awake and get to the door handle. However, the moment she moved, she felt giddy with her
head spinning.
It’s over! she thought.
No one was going to fetch the kid. Soon, she heard the sirens of police cars approaching.
A while later, a man suddenly kicked at the car door and yelled in a heartbreaking voice, “Olivia! Olivia!”
She had wanted to respond to him, but she couldn’t even utter a word. Slowly, her head turned muddled, and she
passed out later.
It was in the middle of the night when she regained consciousness. Opening her eyes, what fell into her gaze were
white walls, a white bed, and a white infusion bottle. In that instant, she put on a smile in self-mockery. It seems that
I’m not dead yet.
Looking around, she saw a man sitting by the bed with his head pressed against his hands. It seemed that he was

Although she couldn’t see his face, she was certain that he was Eugene.
Why is he here?
She could vaguely remember that someone was trying to smash the door, calling out to her.
Was it Eugene’s voice?
Taking a deep breath, she felt a little restless because of what Kate and North told her before. She wondered
whether Eugene had crossed the boundary of friendship by doing this.
However… Nathan and Kate would have done the same if they were faced with the same situation.
Eugene was awakened by the sudden ringing of a phone. He instinctively raised his head and saw that the fluid
inside the infusion bottle was running low. Staring at the infusion bottle for a while, he felt that something was amiss
and slowly shifted his attention to the person on the bed. Seeing Olivia awake, he leaned in to her immediately and
put on a smile.
“You’re awake. How are you feeling? Do you feel uncomfortable?”
Embarrassed, Olivia pursed her lips and answered, “I feel a little dizzy.”
Eugene quickly explained, “The doctor said that you’re suffering from a concussion. Stop moving. Just tell me what
you need.”
Olivia obediently mumbled in agreement and inquired, “Where’s North?”
“Don’t worry. He’s at Nathan’s place.”
Olivia was relieved upon hearing that. “Alright, thanks. You’ve saved me one more time.”
Eugene smirked and replied gently, “Don’t mention it. Anyone would have helped you in such a situation.”
Olivia looked at the wounds on the back of his hands and figured out that he was hurt when saving her. “Your hands
are wounded.”
Eugene took a look at his hands and said nonchalantly, “I’m fine. I was injured because the car door was hard to
pry open.”
Olivia was heartbroken. “Please get your hands dressed up.”
“There’s no need for it as they’re just flesh wounds.”

Eugene burst into laughter and showed her the back of his hands. “Look, I’m really fine.”
Olivia examined his wounds for a while and demanded, “Get your hands dressed up. You’re at risk of getting an
infection.”
Eugene gave in and said, “Alright, I’ll put on some bandaids later.”
Olivia replied with a frown, “I’m alright, so don’t stay here and please go back.”
Eugene heaved a sigh helplessly because she chased him away upon awakening. “Who is going to change the
bandages for you if I’m gone?”
Olivia answered, “I’ll tell Kate to come over, or you can hire a carer for me.”
Eugene stared at her fixedly without saying a word. His deep gaze seemed to have the magic of sucking in
anyone’s soul.
“If you’re willing to ask for someone else’s help, why don’t you seek help from me? Am I not your friend?”
Olivia pressed her lips together. Even if they were friends, how was he going to take care of her as a man?
“I’m sure you’re… busy with work!”
Olivia was shocked by her coquettish tone and couldn’t believe what she just said. Puke.
Eugene gazed at her softly and replied, “I’m free currently.”
Taking a look at the infusion bottle again, he rose from the chair and pressed the call bell.
