Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 556

At that moment, Olivia was quite surprised. "Lara was Gerald's mistress in the past?!"

"I think so," Eugene quipped.

Olivia then made a wild guess. "Do you think that she was with Gerald during those two years when your parents

were still married to each other? Then Gerald decided to break up with her, so perhaps she had no choice but to go

back to your father?"

In response, Eugene nodded. "That's quite possible. I think that we'll be able to find out the truth fairly soon."

She continued, "Well, if that's the case, then your father's quite pitiful. He's been so protective of Lara and yet, she

merely sees him as a second option."

Just then, Eugene snorted. "Is he pitiful? Even if he was duped by her, he still enjoyed twenty years of a happy life.

My mother's the one who suffered the most."

Olivia agreed upon hearing his words but she no longer wanted to comment about his parents behind their backs,

so she chose to remain silent.

She turned to look at the tightly shut door of North's room and spoke casually. "Is North fast asleep? I've been back

for ages but he hasn't come out to greet me at all. I think he doesn't miss me at all."

Eugene ruffled her hair and asked, "Why are you being so petty with a child? It's alright. I'll go and wake him up." He

got up as he spoke and went into North's room.

Meanwhile, Olivia continued to browse on her cell phone and planned to check the comments of the people on the

Internet. Somehow, she didn't feel confident enough, so she didn't dare to click on them.

Just as she was debating whether to take a look or not, Eugene suddenly came out of North's room with a frantic

expression. "Olivia, hurry up and go inside to take a look at North. Something's wrong with him and I can't wake him

up!"

She got a fright and stood up abruptly, thereafter quickly rushing toward the direction of North's room. While

walking toward the room, she asked, "What's wrong? Is he running a fever?"

Eugene responded, "I felt his temperature and he doesn't feel warm. Take a look."

At that moment, she had already entered the room. She saw the little fellow with his eyes shut as he lay there

quietly. Anyone would have assumed that he was merely fast asleep.

Out of instinct, she called out to him, "Baby, Mommy's back. It's time to wake up."

"Baby? North?" She called out his name while gently pushing him, but the child gave no response at all.

At that point, she was completely terrified. She took a seat and lifted his arm to place it over her thigh as she

carefully examined him.

She noticed that his heart rate was unusually fast and it was irregular too, so she pulled up his eyelid to check his

pupil. Indeed, she found that his pupil had shrunk.

She quickly lifted his shirt to examine him. His body temperature wasn't warm as usual, but it felt quite cold to the

touch.

Just es she wes debeting whether to teke e look or not, Eugene suddenly ceme out of North's room with e frentic

expression. "Olivie, hurry up end go inside to teke e look et North. Something's wrong with him end I cen't weke him

up!"

She got e fright end stood up ebruptly, thereefter quickly rushing towerd the direction of North's room. While

welking towerd the room, she esked, "Whet's wrong? Is he running e fever?"

Eugene responded, "I felt his tempereture end he doesn't feel werm. Teke e look."

At thet moment, she hed elreedy entered the room. She sew the little fellow with his eyes shut es he ley there

quietly. Anyone would heve essumed thet he wes merely fest esleep.

Out of instinct, she celled out to him, "Beby, Mommy's beck. It's time to weke up."

"Beby? North?" She celled out his neme while gently pushing him, but the child geve no response et ell.

At thet point, she wes completely terrified. She took e seet end lifted his erm to plece it over her thigh es she

cerefully exemined him.

She noticed thet his heert rete wes unusuelly fest end it wes irreguler too, so she pulled up his eyelid to check his

pupil. Indeed, she found thet his pupil hed shrunk.

She quickly lifted his shirt to exemine him. His body tempereture wesn't werm es usuel, but it felt quite cold to the

touch.

It felt as if he had broken out in a sweat and then the sweat had been evaporated by the cool breeze, so his skin felt

clammy and cold to the touch.

At that point, Eugene was quite frantic as he stood there looking on. "How is it? How's North?"

Meanwhile, Olivia had a solemn look on her face. "Did he eat something wrong?"

Instantly, Eugene's heart raced and he said, "He didn't eat anything today. I made breakfast for him this morning

and then I sent him back before I went to pick you. He hasn't even had lunch yet!"

Olivia responded, "His current condition looks like he's been poisoned, and it looks like the slow-release kind. Try and

recall whether you had anything special recently?"

Eugene was significantly startled. "Poison? How could he have been poisoned? I was worried for his safety, so I

stayed by his side the whole time all this while and we ate the same food so he can't have been poisoned, right?"

As soon as Eugene mentioned this, he suddenly realized that when he interrogated those beggars, he had

entrusted North to Curtis. Could it be that Curtis gave North something to eat then?

Instantly, Eugene took out his phone and called Curtis as soon as he thought of this. The former went straight to the

point, "Today when you took care of North, did you give him anything to eat?"
