Chapter 887

Eugene exhaled in resignation. "Fine. I'll stay here until your surgery is done."

Hearing his affirmative answer, Azalea smiled. "Really? Thank you, Eugene."

He said, "If it weren't because of me, none of this would have happened."

Hayes stood up to take his leave. "Alright. You guys go ahead. I'll look into this. My men have started the

investigations. You can take a break if you want, Eugene. You don't have to stay here all the time."

"Sure," Eugene responded.

Silence filled the room as soon as Hayes made his way out of the ward.

Azalea asked, "Will your girlfriend take this the wrong way?"

She's going to take it the wrong way if she sees us together without knowing what's going on. Hayes should have

told me about this. He said, "I'll explain to her when I get home."

She gave him an apologetic look. "Why don't I call her?"

"There's no need for that," he answered curtly. That'll just make the misunderstanding worse. She's going to read

into this too much.

"Alright, I'm sorry," she said sheepishly.

However, her apology only made him feel even more frustrated. "Why are you apologizing? I should be the one

doing that. I got you the cab. That's why you got in danger. If something were to happen to you, I'm not sure I could

live with this guilt." I'm glad it didn't come to that.

Azalea responded, "No, this is not your fault. Who would have known the cab driver would be a potential sex

offender?"

"Just rest. I need a smoke."

"Okay, but don't smoke too much. It's bad for your health."

Eugene left without saying a word. A circle of fence surrounded the hospital, and he leaned on it as he burned

through his cigarettes. Why did she go back all of a sudden? Is she mad?

What am I saying? Of course, she is. I promised to go back with her, but I stood her up. It's not surprising that she's

mad. She could at least tell me, though. She promised she'd wait. But why did she change plans? Did something

happen back home?

He looked at the time. It's midnight back home. I shouldn't call North. Don't wanna disturb his sleep, after all. I'll call

Brian, then.

The incessant calls jolted Brian awake. He rummaged around for his phone, but when he noticed it was from his

brother, he eased up. What the f*ck he wants? He took the call and grumbled, "What is it this time? This is the third

phone call. I need to sleep."

Eugene ignored his complaints. He asked, "Did something happen back home?"

Annoyance crawled all over Brian's face. "Nothing. Aside from your disappearance, it's been uneventful. You just

had to go missing. You just had to call me a hundred times. Do you think this is a romance drama?"

His complaints were once again ignored. Eugene hung up. If everything is fine at home, why did Olivia go back? No

matter how he thought about it, he had a feeling that he was at fault. If he could leave, he would have flown back

home. No. I need to tell Brian about this. So, once again, he raised his phone and called his brother.

Brian had just fallen asleep once more when Eugene's call pulled him away from his slumber. The sight of his

brother's name drove him mad. He wanted to smash things and kick Eugene's butt.
