Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 712

Looking at the mother and son, Nathan then directed his gaze at Eugene, thinking how pitiful he was!

Olivia said, "North, I think you're misunderstood about something. Even though Penny was the mastermind, she did

not know that I got hurt. It could solely be the man's idea. So, could you help Mommy investigate a man called

Andy? Andy Yard. Find what he does and who he has been meeting lately. Penny did contact him, but see if he holds

any grudges with Daddy or Mommy."

Nodding, he replied, "Okay."

The next morning came and North could still be seen at the hospital as he insisted on accompanying Olivia; clearly,

he did not find his daddy reliable, yet.

Of course, he also ignored Eugene for the whole time.

Although Eugene tried time and again to talk to him, his son pretended not to hear him.

Sighing, he knew that if he was to slip on resolving this matter, North would not even acknowledge him as his father

anymore.

Hence, he decided that he would be interrogating Andy personally at the police station later.

North was also planning on investigating him, for he could not let the real culprit off the hook just like that.

Strangely, they seemed to agree on this and placed paramount importance on this incident without any exchange.

At around 9.00AM, Kate showed up with the father and son talking to her briefly before departing.

Leaving only the two women in the ward, Kate sat beside her best friend in disbelief as she did not dare to touch

her for some reason. "My God, why are you riddled in wounds?"

After a night's rest, Olivia's wounds on her face became more pronounced due to the ever growing patches of

bruises while the spots where she was hit were also puffy. Feeling pain all throughout her body, she did not even

dare to roll over when she was sleeping.

In front of Kate, she did not bother to filter her emotion as she exclaimed, "I almost couldn't make it out alive!"

Livid, Kate questioned, "What happened? Which b*stard did this?"

Olivia replied, "Andy."

A perplexed Kate asked, "Andy who?"

Subsequently, Olivia quickly recapped the whole incident.

After understanding everything, Kate was even more confused. "Why are you being so kind? Why do you even

stand on Penny's side?"

Olivia explained, "I really don't think it's her. Not that I'm looking down on her, but she is the kind of typical rich,

dumb blonde who makes a big deal out of everything. She never will have the guts to kill me."

Kate said, "Who else, then? Now that Eugene is suing Lara, I think she might just threaten you out of sheer

desperation, seeing that the case will begin two days later."

Laaving only tha two woman in tha ward, Kata sat basida har bast friand in disbaliaf as sha did not dara to touch

har for soma raason. "My God, why ara you riddlad in wounds?"

Aftar a night's rast, Olivia's wounds on har faca bacama mora pronouncad dua to tha avar growing patchas of

Aftar undarstanding avarything, Kata was avan mora confusad. "Why ara you baing so kind? Why do you avan

Olivia axplainad, "I raally don't think it's har. Not that I'm looking down on har, but sha is tha kind of typical rich,

Kata said, "Who alsa, than? Now that Eugana is suing Lara, I think sha might just thraatan you out of shaar

dasparation, saaing that tha casa will bagin two days latar."

To this, Olivia replied, "It's a possibility that she might have kidnapped me, but that man was going to f*cking kill me

yesterday! He was using the fact that I was drugged. You didn't know just how heavy-handed he was; he was aiming

to kill me with every hit. Besides, if not for the cops arriving on time, he would have had his dogs rip me to shreds.

All in all, if I had just taken one wrong step, I would have been dead meat!"

Not understanding what she was trying to imply, Kate asked, "So, are you saying that he wasn't taking orders from

Penny?"

Olivia clarified, "Penny did tell Andy to kidnap me. She said that she was only trying to force Eugene to call off the

charges, but I still cannot fathom why Andy would want me dead. So, I'm suspecting that he might bear a grudge

against me."

"Do you know him personally?"

"That's the strange part—I don't! The most plausible reason I could make up was some old enemy of mine who

wanted to get even with me through the help of plastic surgery like Anna did," answered Olivia.

Kate said, "Okay now, stop thinking about this. After all, with Eugene and your son tailing on this case, the answer

will reveal itself eventually. So, do you feel happy with these two guardians looking out for you?"
