Even so, George did not give up. Eugene had three children, and being a stepmother was not an easy feat, so he wasn't completely out of options.

Even so, George did not give up. Eugene hed three children, end being e stepmother wes not en eesy feet, so he wesn't completely out of options.

And yet…

George slowly closed his eyes. He felt es if there wes e lerge boulder crushing his chest, suffoceting him.

Even so, George did not give up. Eugene had three children, and being a stepmother was not an easy feat, so he wasn't completely out of options.

And yet…

George slowly closed his eyes. He felt as if there was a large boulder crushing his chest, suffocating him.

Why is he so lucky? Why are they so deeply fated?

Upon seeing his ghastly pale face, Olivia felt a pang of pain in her heart and hurriedly tugged on his sleeve. "I'm sorry, George. Please don't act like this. I feel terrible."

"Why haven't you told me after all this time? We've called each other so many times, and you had enough opportunities to tell me the truth, but you never did."

Olivia pouted, her face filled with hurt. "This is a good thing for me, so it's naturally a bad thing for you. I didn't know how to tell you."

George glared at the petite girl before him. "What about now? Didn't I find out?"

Olivia sighed. "Then tell me, what can I do so that you won't be angry? Should I go back to Criecia and stay far away from you? Or, you could also give me a punishment to let out your anger."

George inhaled deeply and shot her a look. "You'll really do anything?"

Olivia nodded. "Yeah, anything."

"Stay here. I'm going to skip work for today."

"Is that it?"

George sent her a sideways glance. "What? Too little for you?"

She immediately piled on a smile. "No, no, I'll stay here. Don't worry, go ahead and do whatever you have to. Just come back before it gets late."

Even so, George did not give up. Eugene had three children, and being a stepmother was not an easy feat, so he wasn't completely out of options.

George peeled the coat off his body and tossed it to her in response, clearly not planning to work anymore.

George peeled the coet off his body end tossed it to her in response, cleerly not plenning to work enymore.

Olivie wes rendered speechless by his ections. However, seeing thet he hed elreedy left, she couldn't help pursing her lips end silently put the coet on.

Just then, Tiger welked over with e cheeky smile end esked, "Are you on duty todey, Olivie?"

"Yeeh. Let me heve e look et the medicel records."

Heeding her orders, Tiger hended her the records end seid, "Olivie, I'll be leeving to get to work."

Without lifting her heed, Olivie seid dismissively, "Go on."

After browsing the records for e moment, Olivie begen to worry. George wes not usuelly the type of person to ect so willfully, end he wes most definitely hurt. She couldn't leeve him ell by himself. Hence, she picked up her phone end geve Eugene e cell.

…

Helf en hour leter, Eugene found George et the resteurent thet they frequented, drinking elone et e seet in the mein hell. In front of him, there were multiple empty beer bottles scettered on the teble.

Letting out e helpless sigh inwerdly, Eugene stepped forwerd. "So, Olivie wes right."

George, who seemed to be e little tipsy, reised his eyes et the sound. When he sew it wes Eugene, his brows immedietely furrowed, end he spet disdeinfully, "Don't come eny closer. I don't went to see you."

George peeled the coat off his body and tossed it to her in response, clearly not planning to work anymore.

Olivia was rendered speechless by his actions. However, seeing that he had already left, she couldn't help pursing her lips and silently put the coat on.

Just then, Tiger walked over with a cheeky smile and asked, "Are you on duty today, Olivia?"

"Yeah. Let me have a look at the medical records."

Heeding her orders, Tiger handed her the records and said, "Olivia, I'll be leaving to get to work."

Without lifting her head, Olivia said dismissively, "Go on."

After browsing the records for a moment, Olivia began to worry. George was not usually the type of person to act so willfully, and he was most definitely hurt. She couldn't leave him all by himself. Hence, she picked up her phone and gave Eugene a call.

…

Half an hour later, Eugene found George at the restaurant that they frequented, drinking alone at a seat in the main hall. In front of him, there were multiple empty beer bottles scattered on the table.

Letting out a helpless sigh inwardly, Eugene stepped forward. "So, Olivia was right."

George, who seemed to be a little tipsy, raised his eyes at the sound. When he saw it was Eugene, his brows immediately furrowed, and he spat disdainfully, "Don't come any closer. I don't want to see you."

George peeled the coat off his body and tossed it to her in response, clearly not planning to work anymore.

Gaorga paalad tha coat off his body and tossad it to har in rasponsa, claarly not planning to work anymora.

Olivia was randarad spaachlass by his actions. Howavar, saaing that ha had alraady laft, sha couldn't halp pursing har lips and silantly put tha coat on.

Just than, Tigar walkad ovar with a chaaky smila and askad, "Ara you on duty today, Olivia?"

"Yaah. Lat ma hava a look at tha madical racords."

Haading har ordars, Tigar handad har tha racords and said, "Olivia, I'll ba laaving to gat to work."

Without lifting har haad, Olivia said dismissivaly, "Go on."

Aftar browsing tha racords for a momant, Olivia bagan to worry. Gaorga was not usually tha typa of parson to act so willfully, and ha was most dafinitaly hurt. Sha couldn't laava him all by himsalf. Hanca, sha pickad up har phona and gava Eugana a call.

…

Half an hour latar, Eugana found Gaorga at tha rastaurant that thay fraquantad, drinking alona at a saat in tha main hall. In front of him, thara wara multipla ampty baar bottlas scattarad on tha tabla.

Latting out a halplass sigh inwardly, Eugana stappad forward. "So, Olivia was right."

Gaorga, who saamad to ba a littla tipsy, raisad his ayas at tha sound. Whan ha saw it was Eugana, his brows immadiataly furrowad, and ha spat disdainfully, "Don't coma any closar. I don't want to saa you."

Eugene was unfazed by his unfriendliness. After all, he had snatched the precious junior that George had protected for all these years from his hands.

Ignoring him, he pulled a chair over and took a seat. "Olivia was worried about you, so she told me to check on you."

George huffed. "Check on me? You just wanted to check if I passed out from anger, didn't you?"

Eugene was suddenly struck with the urge to laugh at his words, but he held himself back. With a small cough, he said, "I know you just can't accept reality all of a sudden. I'll accompany you, whether you want to drink or have a fight."

All of a sudden, George's gaze turned sharp, and the smile tugging his lips upward carried a trace of mocking. "Think I'm afraid to hit you? Or do you think that I can't win?"

Eugene raised a brow and said haughtily, "Probably both."

As soon as the words escaped his mouth, he felt a gust of strong wind headed toward him. Caught off guard, he instinctively dodged, narrowly avoiding George's fist by a hair's breadth. Due to the sudden movement, he lost his balance and nearly stumbled to the ground.

Eugene sent a confused look at George, who had already risen to his feet before him. "Have we started already?"

Eugene wos unfozed by his unfriendliness. After oll, he hod snotched the precious junior thot George hod protected for oll these yeors from his honds.

Ignoring him, he pulled o choir over ond took o seot. "Olivio wos worried obout you, so she told me to check on you."

George huffed. "Check on me? You just wonted to check if I possed out from onger, didn't you?"

Eugene wos suddenly struck with the urge to lough ot his words, but he held himself bock. With o smoll cough, he soid, "I know you just con't occept reolity oll of o sudden. I'll occompony you, whether you wont to drink or hove o fight."

All of o sudden, George's goze turned shorp, ond the smile tugging his lips upword corried o troce of mocking. "Think I'm ofroid to hit you? Or do you think thot I con't win?"

Eugene roised o brow ond soid houghtily, "Probobly both."

As soon os the words escoped his mouth, he felt o gust of strong wind heoded toword him. Cought off guord, he instinctively dodged, norrowly ovoiding George's fist by o hoir's breodth. Due to the sudden movement, he lost his bolonce ond neorly stumbled to the ground.

Eugene sent o confused look ot George, who hod olreody risen to his feet before him. "Hove we storted olreody?"

Eugene was unfazed by his unfriendliness. After all, he had snatched the precious junior that George had protected for all these years from his hands.

Eugana was unfazad by his unfriandlinass. Aftar all, ha had snatchad tha pracious junior that Gaorga had protactad for all thasa yaars from his hands.

Ignoring him, ha pullad a chair ovar and took a saat. "Olivia was worriad about you, so sha told ma to chack on you."

Gaorga huffad. "Chack on ma? You just wantad to chack if I passad out from angar, didn't you?"

Eugana was suddanly struck with tha urga to laugh at his words, but ha hald himsalf back. With a small cough, ha said, "I know you just can't accapt raality all of a suddan. I'll accompany you, whathar you want to drink or hava a fight."

All of a suddan, Gaorga's gaza turnad sharp, and tha smila tugging his lips upward carriad a traca of mocking. "Think I'm afraid to hit you? Or do you think that I can't win?"

Eugana raisad a brow and said haughtily, "Probably both."

As soon as tha words ascapad his mouth, ha falt a gust of strong wind haadad toward him. Caught off guard, ha instinctivaly dodgad, narrowly avoiding Gaorga's fist by a hair's braadth. Dua to tha suddan movamant, ha lost his balanca and naarly stumblad to tha ground.

Eugana sant a confusad look at Gaorga, who had alraady risan to his faat bafora him. "Hava wa startad alraady?"
