Chapter 1379 Who Made the Child Cry?
George glared at Olivia with a hint of annoyance in his eyes. "Why are you still laughing?
Stop it. You need to find a way to make them leave, or I'll end up running sooner or later."
She chuckled. "They came for you. How should I get rid of them?"
He furrowed his brows. "Aren't you always full of ideas? Hurry up and think of something."
"You don't like either of them?" she asked.
"Don't you already know who I like?"
"Alright, alright. I got it," Olivia playfully retorted.
In the meantime, Penny had already spotted Eugene and greeted him with delight,
"Eugene, you came back."
Puzzled, he wondered how she managed to find him despite not disclosing his location to
her. "Why are you here? Are you looking for me?"
She smiled sweetly. "I'm here for George."
He was surprised. "When did you two get so close?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPenny blushed. "We've been close for a long time, okay?"
He was taken aback. Judging from her face, it seems she fancies George. Is he the man
she likes?
Before he could figure it out, Olivia arrived. She handed a lollipop to the crying child, who
immediately stopped crying after receiving it. Instantly, the room became much quieter.
She sat beside the child, playing with him for a while before subtly checking his wrist.
Then, she looked at Mikaela. "Your child is crying so intensely. Why aren't you comforting
him?" Her words were not aggressive, but her tone exuded a sense of authority that
contrasted with Penny's.
Mikaela's tone unconsciously softened. "He doesn't want me. Every time I hold him, he
cries. I don't know what's wrong with him. I was just thinking of letting Dr. Parsons take a
look."
Seems like Mikaela wants to pick up where she left off with George. How delusional of her.
"Have you been coming here these days?"
Mikaela's gaze shifted to the child, who was now quietly eating the lollipop. "Yes, he seems
to be in a better mood here."
Olivia asked, "And what does Dr. Parsons say about his condition?"
Frowning, Mikaela felt annoyed by her questioning. I don't even intend to seek her help, so
why is she trying to show off here?
As she glanced at Eugene standing by her side, she maintained her composure and
responded, "The doctor mentioned that he might've been frightened, but the prescribed
medication doesn't appear effective. He continues to cry at the slightest movement."
Observing the child enjoying his candy, Olivia inquired, "In what situations does he cry?"
Mikaela responded, "He cries whenever I hold him!" With that statement, she appeared
eager to demonstrate her point to Olivia and lifted the child, who had been peacefully
seated on the chair, attempting to console him. Shortly after, the child's legs twitched,
and tears welled up as he called out, "Mommy!"
With an anxious and helpless expression, she looked at Olivia. "You see, just like this."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs Olivia's face darkened, she attempted to take the child, but Eugene, who looked
worriedly at her abdomen, quickly intervened. "Don't hold him."
Jewel chuckled and promptly offered, "Olivia, I'll do it."
Taking the child from Mikaela's arms, she gently coaxed him. After a while, the child's
crying subsided, but he remained visibly upset with tears and occasional sniffles. He
looked at Mikaela with an innocent and pitiful expression.
Despite her child's distress, she did not even spare a glance. As soon as George finished
his work, she hurriedly approached him. "George, could you please take a look at Alvin?"
Olivia stopped her and could not control her anger, questioning, "You don't see any
problem with leaving your child in the care of just anyone or a stranger?"
Despite seeing Olivia stop Mikaela, George acted as if he had not heard her and
proceeded toward the backyard.
Mikaela furrowed her brow and glanced at Olivia, who was blocking her, with a slight hint
of annoyance in her eyes. "Any problem? Then, tell me, why is he crying?"
Olivia's voice turned icy. "Shouldn't you know best?"
