Chapter 218 You Are Injured
Olivia turned to look at the man standing beside Kate when she heard that. The man was around 180cm, and he looked handsome and elegant. There was a kind smile etched across his face, giving him an unmistakable look of a graceful young master.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Jasper Greenwood. I am… Katie’s friend.” He deliberately glanced at Kate when he said that.
Olivia immediately understood what he meant. He is most probably pursuing Katie, but she hasn’t agreed to it, and that must be the reason he glanced at her during his introduction!
“Nice to meet you. I’m Olivia Maxwell, Katie’s childhood best friend.”
Jasper smiled when he answered her, “I know; she always talks about you!” He glanced at Eugene after saying that. “You must be President Nolan.” He reached out to shake Eugene’s hand.

They shook hands, and Eugene greeted him, “Nice to meet you.”
Jasper finally straightened up while commenting, “It’s great that the kid is fine.”
Kate held her tears back while teasing North. “Don’t be scared, little boy. I’m relieved since you’re fine. You don’t have to worry about a thing; you just have to go home and sleep well. I’ll see you tomorrow, alright?”
North nodded. “Mm-hmm.”
The few people chatted for a moment longer before finally separating.
In the elevator, Eugene started discussing with Olivia, “Why don’t you both stay at my place?”
She shook her head. I know that Eugene is just being kind and generous. He most probably guessed that we are both in shock from what happened tonight. However, how could I possibly be comfortable staying overnight at his home?
“No need.”
Eugene did not comment further.
The narrow elevator suddenly fell into a deafening silence. The three of them remained quiet for the rest of the elevator ride.
When they arrived on the 59th floor, Olivia held North’s hand to leave the elevator. Under normal circumstances, Eugene would have straightaway rode the elevator down, but he followed them from behind today.
Olivia glanced at him in surprise. “We are truly fine. Thank you for today, because if it weren’t for you, I’m not sure if I would have survived until now. I will repay you and thank you properly another day.”

Eugene did not reply to her; instead, he walked straight to the main door of their house and punched the passcode in to open the door.
Olivia did not even have the chance to ask how he learned about the passcode to her home when he broke the silence first. “Since you refuse to come over to my place, I have no choice but to stay over!”
Olivia was dumbfounded, and it took her the longest time to digest and process what he meant.

Eugene had a solemn expression when he signaled at the room. His voice was dominant and firm, as if he wasn’t taking ‘no’ for an answer. “Come into the house!”
The child must have been hurt. However, since the little fellow doesn’t want his mommy to know about it, it’ll be better if I keep him company. After going through such an ordeal, how could both mother and son not be affected at all? And how could I possibly relax?
Olivia did not say anything further. She walked straight into the house, but the first thing she mentioned once she got in was, “You should have a seat first. I’ll get the medical kit to treat North’s wounds.”
North was quite surprised. Did I not hide my wounds well?
He pulled Olivia in a hurry. “Mommy, I’m fine! I’m not injured!”
Olivia felt tears surging in her eyes, and she had to hold them back. “Don’t lie to me because I saw it. Look, your blood is already seeping through,” she whispered with a hoarse voice.
North’s eyes widened, and he looked at the direction she was staring at. There were blood stains across the shirt on his shoulder. I was injured around my shoulders when that mad woman pushed me to the ground.
I already had my wounds treated in Will-o’-Wisp Headquarters; I even had a change of clothes. Why is the blood still seeping through?
It was impossible for Olivia not to have noticed because North flinched reflexively when she first held him previously. He wouldn’t have flinched and avoided my touch if he weren’t in pain.
“Wait right here,” she instructed him before she stood up.
Eugene scowled deeply. It seems like nothing gets past her as a mother.
