Chapter 222


    North’s remarks tugged at Eugene’s heartstrings. He is just trying to express that his mom prepared the


    egg fried rice with her love, and it warms his heart.


    I’m not good at expressing my feelings, but each time I interact with the mother and son, I’d end up


    beyond moved, and my heart would go out for them.


    I just want to enter their lives as soon as possible to look after them. I want to make up for what I had


    missed, and I hope that they will forgive me for not having found them earlier, and that was why they


    have suffered so much.


    Eugene patted North’s back softly, and North must have been able to rx in his father’s arms because


    he fell asleep very soon.


    Nevertheless, as Eugene’s had predicted, North did not sleep deeply.


    Soon, he frowned deeply, and his small face contorted in agony. His tiny lips were pressed together


    tightly, as if he was holding his breath. A sob bubbled from North’s throat, and he seemed both


    stubborn and aggrieved.


    Eugene immediately wrapped North in his arms while patting his back reassuringly with hisrge palm.


    He consoled North in a soothing tone, “North, don’t be afraid. I’m here!”


    After that, North looked as if he had endured everything for too long… Finally, he could not endure it


    any longer, and he burst out crying. North buried his face against Eugene’s chest.


    Eugene’s heart ached for North, and he was at a loss for words. He immediately patted North gently


    while reassuring him soothingly, “North, don’t be afraid. The bad guys will never dare to look for you


    anymore. I will protect you; I’ll protect you and mommy! I will also teach them a lesson and take


    revenge for you.”


    He muttered for the longest time, and North finally calmed down. The child’s breathing slowed down,


    and his knitted brows rxed significantly.


    Eugene knew that North was sound asleep, and he caressed the child’s cheek softly. Eugene’s heart


    broke into pieces after that incident.


    Just then, someone opened the room door abruptly.


    “North—”


    Olivia came barging in in a panic, and she let out a long sigh of relief when she saw her child lying in


    bed peacefully. Suddenly, her body turned to mush, and she slid down onto the floor while leaning


    against the bedside.


    Eugene turned to get out of bed, and he took a few steps forward to pick her up onto the bed. His eyes


    reflected his distress while he stared at the sobbing woman in front of him. “What is it?”


    Olivia stared at her child in front of her, who was sound asleep in bed, and she reached out to touch his


    leg. She was still in a state of shock, but she felt the acute sharp stabbing pain in her chest while she


    stared at her son.


    “Nothing; I just dreamed that Anna snatched my child again, and she even tortured him!”


    Her voice was airy, and she sounded frail. Eugene’s heart ached for her, and he consoled her while


    staring at her, “It’s fine now; everything is fine. Don’t you worry because the child is sound asleep.”

    Olivia’s was quite upset. “Maybe I shouldn’t have returned. This wouldn’t have happened to him if we


    had stayed in Mastar.”


    Eugene panicked immediately when he heard that. “This was just an ident, and you can’t guarantee


    that idents would not happen in Mastar. You shouldn’t me yourself since the child is fine. Why


    don’t you sleep in this room too? I’ll sleep on the couch.”


    Olivia did not reply to him; instead, she looked at North’s serene small face with an agonized gaze.


    Then, she added, “No need for that; you two should sleep.” With that, she left the room.


    She did not even spare him a nce from the beginning to the end.


    Eugene frowned deeply, and a bad feeling surged from the bottom of his heart. He chased after her in


    a hurry out to the living hall.


    He saw her holding her phone while smiling. “I missed you guys,” she said.


    Eugene couldn’t hear what the person answered over the phone, but Olivia replied, “Nothing, really. It’s


    just that I just couldn’t fall asleep, and I figured you guys aren’t too busy, and so I’m giving you a call.”


    Her lips were curled into a smile, but her eyes were brimming with tears. “I’m doing well… Nonsense.


    This is my territory, so why wouldn’t I thrive? Haven’t you heard? My fashion studio sold out the first


    day itself… No need. I myself am wealthy and powerful!”
