Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 1378

Chapter 1378 A Tense Scene

Hector hastily withdrew his gaze, appearing somewhat discomposed, and his heart was pounding wildly. Worrying that Eugene and Olivia might notice his unease, he coughed awkwardly to cover up. Though they did not voice any objections, he found that displaying affection in front of the youngsters was a bit awkward.

However, his effort to appear nonchalant did not go unnoticed by Olivia. She could not help but hum playfully. Oh? Is Master smitten? Once my mother-in-law wins him over, I bet he will follow her off. By then, the Rogers siblings will naturally follow us back. Tsk tsk tsk!

She felt amused at her cleverness.

Later, Ellen asked about Merlin's health and inquired about Brian. Olivia and Eugene recounted the recent events in Criecia over the past few days, and the conversation continued for quite a while.

As Olivia had not seen George the entire time, she could not help but ask, "Where's George? Why haven't I seen him?"

Ellen raised her eyes and looked at her. "Penny is here."

At that, Olivia furrowed her brows slightly and exchanged glances with Eugene. "When did she arrive?"

"She arrived the day you went back and has been staying at the front clinic with George these days," Ellen replied.

Jewel sighed and added, "There's also the child I saved last time. He's been getting injections here these days. And then, there are two women… I think you know what I mean, right?"

Olivia's imagination ran wild as she pictured a scene of a conflict between new love and old love. It makes sense now why he hasn't had time to come back and see me. He must be dealing with quite a lot!

She got up with a curious glint in her eyes. "I'll take a look!"

Naturally, Eugene did not want her to go alone and followed her to the front clinic with Jewel tagging along. As soon as they approached the clinic, they heard various voices mixing, creating a chaotic scene. Talking, crying, arguing, and various other noises had turned the normally quiet clinic into chaos. Olivia instinctively frowned. George loves quiet. This noisy environment must be driving him crazy.

As she quickened her pace, she noticed Penny talking to Mikaela with a cold expression when she entered the room. "Can't you calm your child down? His constant crying is disturbing other patients!"

Mikaela furrowed her brows. "He's just two years old. How can you expect him to act as sensibly as you do? Do you think he'll simply stop crying if I don't allow him to cry?"

Penny said, "Can't you, at the very least, hold him to comfort him? How can you bear to watch him cry like this?"

Mikaela retorted, "He cries even more intensely when I hold him. Didn't you notice that?"

Penny responded, "Then, what's the use of you being a mother?"

"He's crying because he's sick and uncomfortable," said Mikaela. "It's your responsibility to treat him. If you can't handle it, find someone capable and stop dictating what I should do."

Olivia frowned. With things escalated to this point, why hasn't George intervened?
