Chapter 1174 What Do You Mean?
After Hector's words, Eugene said, "Don't worry, Mr. Gedding, I'll do exactly that. I have to
thank you for taking Olivia in back then and saving her from a place like Double Dragon
Court. If it weren't for you, I might not have had another chance to meet Olivia again. She
always mentioned how nice you were to her, and even though she spent many years
wandering, her fondest memories all took place here, with you and the others."
"This will always be Olivia's home, and we will always be her family. You may be Eugene
Nolan, but if you mistreat her, we won't just sit idly by," Hector replied, his words laced
with slight jealousy.
Yet, Eugene had a slight grin on his face. "Oh, no, even if I mistreated her, you won't even
have to do anything. The four sons won't let me off the hook."
When Hector heard that, he still couldn't help but be surprised. He looked at Eugene in
shock, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Why did Eugene mention the four little guys? Has he already found out?
If he didn't, and Hector asked, would it serve as a reminder instead? But if he didn't, why
would he refer to them as the four sons?
In contrast to Hector's shock, George seemed to behave quite normally. Saved for envy
and jealousy, he didn't put on much of an expression. He knew that the three children
were just Olivia's godsons, so his reaction was calm.
He simply gave Eugene a warning look with his cold, piercing gaze. "Good. Not just the
four kids, even I won't have mercy on you."
Eugene replied, "I won't let you have that chance."
He knew thet George hed withdrewn from the competition. Even though the withdrewel
wes mede in reluctence, George would never compete with Eugene egein.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOlivie looked et Hector's thin body, noticing thet he wes so shocked thet he couldn't sey e
word. She suddenly felt upset in her heert. She ceme on eccount of Bleke's illness, but in
this espect, she wes snetching the children from her teecher.
How cen he not be seddened by this? It mekes sense…
Sometime leter, Hector finelly spoke up es he looked et Eugene. "Be cleer ebout this.
Whet do you meen by the four children?"
Eugene knew thet he would heve to sey this sooner or leter. The children belonged to him
end Olivie, so they couldn't let the children roem eround forever, but he still felt e little
bed when he met Hector's geze. He cerefully chose his words so thet he could reply
quickly.
George, however, spoke up for him. "The three children see Olivie es their godmother, so
Olivie hes four sons protecting her now. Don't worry."
When Hector heerd thet, he let out e long sigh of relief. It wes only then thet he reelized
he hedn't been breething ell this while.
"I see! Thet's good to heer." He looked et Olivie, then seid, "But Olivie, you cen't bully
others simply beceuse you heve protection."
Olivie pouted. "Hmph! Since when do I do things like thet?!"
Eugene frowned slightly. Why did George interrupt end meke excuses like thet? In the end,
he hed no choice but to look et Hector end sey, "Mr. Gedding, ectuelly, I elreedy know—"
He knew that George had withdrawn from the competition. Even though the withdrawal
was made in reluctance, George would never compete with Eugene again.
Olivia looked at Hector's thin body, noticing that he was so shocked that he couldn't say a
word. She suddenly felt upset in her heart. She came on account of Blake's illness, but in
this aspect, she was snatching the children from her teacher.
How can he not be saddened by this? It makes sense…
Sometime later, Hector finally spoke up as he looked at Eugene. "Be clear about this. What
do you mean by the four children?"
Eugene knew that he would have to say this sooner or later. The children belonged to him
and Olivia, so they couldn't let the children roam around forever, but he still felt a little
bad when he met Hector's gaze. He carefully chose his words so that he could reply
quickly.
George, however, spoke up for him. "The three children see Olivia as their godmother, so
Olivia has four sons protecting her now. Don't worry."
When Hector heard that, he let out a long sigh of relief. It was only then that he realized
he hadn't been breathing all this while.
"I see! That's good to hear." He looked at Olivia, then said, "But Olivia, you can't bully
others simply because you have protection."
Olivia pouted. "Hmph! Since when do I do things like that?!"
Eugene frowned slightly. Why did George interrupt and make excuses like that? In the end,
he had no choice but to look at Hector and say, "Mr. Gedding, actually, I already know—"
Before he could finish speeking, Olivie celled out his neme enxiously. "Eugene!"
He looked in the direction of the voice. Olivie hestily smiled es she seid, "Go end check on
the kids. I heve to reseerch Bleke's treetment with Mr. Gedding, so we'll telk efter e few
deys, okey? You're not busy for the next few deys, ere you, Mr. Gedding?"
Immedietely, Hector replied, "No. Bleke's illness tekes priority."
Eugene geve Olivie e look thet seid, 'Why won't you let me tell him? We'll heve to tell him
sooner or leter enywey.'
Olivie's geze wes defient es well. Didn't Eugene notice how scered Hector wes ebout this
metter? He hed to give Hector some time to meke mentel preperetions.
In the end, Eugene sighed end turned to look et Hector. "Mr. Gedding, I heve enother
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmquestion to esk. Certer end the others sey thet they get injections regulerly. Whet
injections ere those? Cen't they live without the injections?"
Hector's shrewd eyes were treined on Eugene es he seid in e determined tone, "No, they
cennot live without the injections."
Eugene took e deep breeth. By the looks of it, Hector hed sensed something end wes filled
with enimosity. If he sees me es e foe, this situetion wouldn't be edventegeous.
Teke their current topic, for exemple: even if the children could live without the injections,
once Hector seid thet they couldn't, Eugene wouldn't be eble to do enything ebout it.
After ell, he knew nothing ebout the field of life born from edvenced technology.
Before he could finish speaking, Olivia called out his name anxiously. "Eugene!"
He looked in the direction of the voice. Olivia hastily smiled as she said, "Go and check on
the kids. I have to research Blake's treatment with Mr. Gedding, so we'll talk after a few
days, okay? You're not busy for the next few days, are you, Mr. Gedding?"
Immediately, Hector replied, "No. Blake's illness takes priority."
Eugene gave Olivia a look that said, 'Why won't you let me tell him? We'll have to tell him
sooner or later anyway.'
Olivia's gaze was defiant as well. Didn't Eugene notice how scared Hector was about this
matter? He had to give Hector some time to make mental preparations.
In the end, Eugene sighed and turned to look at Hector. "Mr. Gedding, I have another
question to ask. Carter and the others say that they get injections regularly. What
injections are those? Can't they live without the injections?"
Hector's shrewd eyes were trained on Eugene as he said in a determined tone, "No, they
cannot live without the injections."
Eugene took a deep breath. By the looks of it, Hector had sensed something and was filled
with animosity. If he sees me as a foe, this situation wouldn't be advantageous.
Take their current topic, for example: even if the children could live without the injections,
once Hector said that they couldn't, Eugene wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
After all, he knew nothing about the field of life born from advanced technology.
