Olivia said, “Mrs. Roberts, I did it for Eugene too, since if something happens, neither me nor you can afford to take on this responsibility!”
Angered to the point of being stunned on the spot, Lara then looked to the crowd, saying, “So you don’t want me to see it after all.” Quickly mediating, Jade interrupted, ‘Aunt Lara, since Miss Maxwell says that’s it should be fine, then we can wait for a bit.”
Seeing her own daughter speak up, Richard also agreed in unison. ‘I agree, as we all know Doctor Maxwell’s skills.” Yet, Amos said, “The more she’s stopping us, the more suspicious I think she is.”
With that, he looked at Olivia. ‘Although you said that you’re Eugene’s girlfriend, he has. never formally introduced you to us. On top of that, even if you are his girlfriend, you’re not considered one of us before your marriage. So, I’m not really sure why you are blocking us so. insistently here.”
With a dark expression, Olivia said coldly, “I have never claimed that I was one of the Nolans. Besides being Eugene’s girlfriend, I am also a doctor. Even if we were strangers, I would still do my best for my patient out of professional courtesy. I hope that you all can understand this.”
Seeing the tension quickly rise, Lara suggested, “How about this-since we really might disturb him with so many people going in at once, we’ll let his father go in and take a look. I mean, you have to let us take a look for us to know he’s alright.”
After pondering for a bit, Olivia replied, “Fine, then. Mr. Nolan, please be as quiet as possible so as to not disturb him.”
Nodding, Edward then followed her into the ward, and he only saw Eugene with his eyes shut while wearing an oxygen mask. With an extremely pale face, the younger man really did look like a patient, as he was also administered IV drops.
Walking to Eugene’s bedside, Edward looked at him for a very long time with tightly clenched fists. It was only after a long while did he turn around to look at North, who was also unconscious.
He had never thought of Eugene as his son, because Edward treated him more like an enemy that he had to be wary of.
Maybe it was the blood running inside them or maybe it was due to his age, but seeing Eugene lie on the bed looking so fragile made Edward feel bad inside. Don’t tell me that a young healthy man like him will pass away just like that?
Staring at the soulless looking Edward, Lara was sure that Eugene was in a dire state, making her jump for joy inside. However, not daring to show this side of her, she pretended to ask in a worried tone, “How’s Eugene?”
“Doctor Maxwell said that he will be fine.”
