Chapter 1007 An Artificial Womb
Olivia thought about it for a moment before saying, "Fine, I'll head over to your place."
Two minutes later, she tiptoed out of her apartment and went up to the 60th floor.
As soon as she came up, the apartment door was opened; Eugene stood at the door while smiling at her. "Darling, I
miss you so much," he said while stretching out his arms to hug her.
Olivia mercilessly smacked his arms away with a scowl. "Don't hug me with arms that you've put around another
woman before."
Eugene stared at her with puppy-dog eyes. "I didn't hug her, darling. I only pushed her away after she threw herself
at me."
Olivia nodded before letting out a coquettish snort. "Yeah, but she's thrown herself into your arms nonetheless, so
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdon't hug me ever again," she said before entering the apartment like a boss making an inspection. "Don't tell me
there's someone else in here, too? Come on, spill it out! Or I'm not gonna set foot in here."
Eugene was speechless. What is she talking about? This is getting more and more absurd. He strode over and
scooped her up in his arms at once. After carrying her into the living room, he immediately pinned her beneath
him.
Olivia pushed him angrily. "Eugene, you b*stard! Get off me or I'll make you incapacitated all night! You want to give
it a try?"
Eugene chuckled. "You brought your needles today?"
Olivia was lost for words. What a rascal! "I'll bring them with me when I come over next time. Just you wait!"
Eugene laughed. Staring at her affectionately, he tucked her hair behind her ears. "I've changed my clothes and
washed my hands. I have you in my arms right now, and I'm not gonna hug anyone else anymore—no, I won't let
anyone hug me ever again. I'll only hug my girlfriend, alright?"
Olivia let out a snort before turning her head away to ignore him.
Eugene rubbed his head against hers to force her to look back at him. "I'll only kiss you from now on, okay?" he said
while pecking her on the lips.
"How shameless."
Eugene let out a deep chuckle. "Why would I feel shame at courting my wife?"
This guy's behaving more and more like a rascal. "Get up now."
Eugene rested his elbows at her sides for fear of crushing her with his weight. He asked in a gentle voice, "Are you
still angry, then?"
"I'm gonna get angry if you don't get up now."
Eugene obediently sat up before helping her sit up, too. Then, he smiled ingratiatingly, asking, "Would you like to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmeat anything? I'll get it for you."
Olivia pondered for a moment before saying, "Peel an apple for me, then."
Eugene laughed. "This is no longer too difficult for me now," he replied while taking an apple to peel it. He did it
slowly, but it was obvious that he was doing it much better than before—he didn't even break the apple skin.
It didn't take long before a peeled apple was handed to Olivia. Taking it from the man, she ate it without a qualm
while asking, "You said just now that it was Carter and others whom George wanted to look into?"
Eugene nodded. "Yeah, North said that. What did you mean by your main doctor's secret just now?"
Olivia put down the apple in her hand. "This is a secret. Actually, my main doctor is a national-level professor and a
research maniac. Over all these years, he's been researching an artificial womb that can substitute for the female
reproductive system. According to his theory, all that's needed is sperm and an egg from a man and a woman,
respectively. Then, the researchers will insert the fertilized egg into the artificial womb and supplement nutrition as
needed according to the developing fetus' nutritional requirements. It's said that this allows the extraction of the
best genes and ensures that the baby will be born healthy and intelligent," she said. "This research has been going
on before I went there. I don't know about the specifics, but I heard it wasn't going smoothly. It was precisely
because something went wrong in the laboratory that George suddenly went back last time."
