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."


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    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 toment 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''te 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 nned to check thements of the


    people on the Inte. 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 waspletely terrified. She took a seat and lifted his arm to ce it over her thigh


    as she carefully examined him.


    She noticed that his heart rate was unusually fast and it was irregr 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 wespletely 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 mmy 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?"
