Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 715

"No can do," the father and son said in unison. Looking at each other, Eugene and North smiled; the little guy had finally interacted with his father.

Holding onto Olivia's hands, Eugene stated, "We can't leave a time-bomb ticking like this. Otherwise, I can't go to sleep at night knowing that someone is constantly plotting against you."

North nodded in agreement.

Nathan pitched in too, "That's right. We have to get to the bottom of this. It will be terrifying to live with a constant threat lurking in the shadows."

Hearing this, Olivia thought they made sense too. "Okay. Let's dig deeper, then."

She then looked at Eugene again. "Eugene, can I be discharged already? I'm fine now and it's so suffocating to stay here."

Patiently, he replied, "The doctor said you need to be observed for forty-eight hours. We'll discharge you if you're okay by tomorrow. Just one more day, alright?"

"But, I want to go home and shower. I feel filthy," whined Olivia.

Raising his eyebrows, Eugene had a thought and suggested, "How about I bathe you tonight?"

At that moment, the air became still and Nathan, Kate and North were all speechless. My God, he really is bold, thought Nathan; My God, have the two become that close already? thought Kate; My God, I'm still young! thought North.

Olivia's face instantly flushed red as she stared at him. Does he have a death wish?

Looking at everyone's gaping mouths, Eugene finally realized what he just uttered.

Innocently, he purely meant what he said as he did not bear any ulterior motives. All he was thinking about was to wipe her down with a towel as an alternative for showering.

Since they were already together and had done all sorts of things a couple would, wiping her down was not a big deal, right?
