Chapter 375


    The four of them had made 70 dumplings in total, taking them nearly an hour before they finished


    making it.


    Eugene was worried that Olivia’s dumplings might burst and cause the fillings to leak out, so he


    steamed some of it while boiling the rest.


    Another half an hour had passed by the time they were able to eat the dumplings.


    Olivia emotionally said, “It’s not easy to make dumplings indeed.”


    However, North thought, We are the ones who had it difficult! If we didn’t have to teach her, we can at


    least bring forward an hour.


    However, she hadn’t finished with her sentence. “But, with my help, I’m sure it’ll be quicker the next


    time.”

    Meanwhile, he wasining in his heart, It would be worse if you help out the next time.


    Throughout the entire process, Eugene was smiling lovingly. “Give them a try. Is there any difference


    between the dumplings that you make and the ones in restaurants?”


    She agreed, but she didn’t forget about Brian as well. “Have a taste, Brian. Try them too!”


    Brian ate one of the dumplings and acknowledged, “Yeah, it’s delicious. It’s been so long since Ist


    had any dumplings.”


    He felt especially warm and happy tonight, as if he had returned to his childhood where they were


    making dumplings together as a family.


    “Me too.” With that, Olivia sent another dumpling into her mouth and praised it while sampling it. “Oh...


    Homemade dumplings are still the best, even though they may look slightly ugly.”


    Upon hearing that, everyoneughed.


    During that meal, the four of them finished 70 dumplings and left none to waste.


    After dinner, North returned to his room to finish his homework while Eugene made arrangements for


    Brian to have a body check.


    Brian stubbornly refused. “I’m fine.”


    However, Eugene emphasized, “Olivia is an amazing doctor. Why don’t you let her give you a


    checkup?”


    Brian said, “That’s fine. Thanks for the dumplings tonight, but I’ll take my leave now.” With that, he


    stood up to leave.


    “Wait!” Olivia called him. “Why are you rejecting Eugene’s offer? Is it because you don’t trust my


    medical skills or you don’t want to owe him a favor?”


    Brian stopped walking. “There’s no need to waste any time here.”


    She nodded understandingly. “Seems like you still don’t trust me enough.”


    “It’s not that,” he replied anxiously.


    While looking at him, Olivia demanded, “Then, what’s the topic? Why do you avoid the topic whenever


    your condition is mentioned? What is it that you are afraid of?”


    Brian stayed silent while Eugene answered on his behalf. “He’s afraid of disappointment. Over the


    years, there were at least ten doctors who have treated him, if not hundreds. After each consultation,


    they will prescribe him with lots of medicine and he has been consuming them over the years.”


    Brian looked at him in surprise, as if he was asking, How did you know?


    Eugene’s lips slightly twitched into a faint smile. “I found half of the doctors, so how could I not know?”


    Brian’s pupils slightly narrowed. He knew that Eugene was silently helping him, but never expected that


    thetter had found half of the doctors who treated him.


    In that moment, Brian was at a loss for words.


    All the while, he had been hard on himself. Eugene was his elder brother—a person whom he admired


    since young. However, since that incident, hepletely stopped idolizing Eugene and hated him


    instead. He hated Eugene’s callousness where he and his mother were abandoned.


    However, as the years passed, there were many asions when Eugene appeared at the exact


    moment when Brian needed help—just like what had happenedst night.


    Eugene would immediately leave after helping him out without saying anything.


    Brian had been convincing himself that Eugene was trying to make it up for his sins. Yet I will not


    forgive him. Him helping me is something that he should do.


    After that, he became acquaintanced with Olivia and frequently interacted with her. It was because of


    her that he slightly became friends rather than enemies with Eugene. His heart began to side with


    Eugene, wondering whether thetter was forced into doing what he did back then.


    Each time Brain caught himself thinking about it, he would remind himself, Don’t allow him to have


    pleasure. Otherwise, all the times that I have suffered will be in vain and my mom would have died for


    nothing.
