Unfinished Business with You

Chapter 138

Olivia subconsciously wanted to nod, but she suddenly remembered that she couldn’t move her head, so she said, “I’m feeling better. Mr. Nolan, you don’t have to keep coming here. I’m fine.”

There was still a toothpick in her hand as she had just used it to have a piece of sliced apple. She passed the toothpick to Brian, who then took it over and placed it on the bedside table.

Their action was natural and tacit.

Unlike the time when she was with Eugene, there was not a hint of anxiety and embarrassment on her face at the moment.

At that instant, Eugene couldn’t describe his feelings with words. He understood that there was nothing between them, but he just found it a little uncomfortable. Although he wanted to be like Brian, he knew that it was difficult, and he was destined to be a ruthless man.

“I’m done with work. Have you eaten anything?”

“Yes, Olivia wanted to have rice porridge in the afternoon, so I bought red bean porridge for her. She also ate a bun,” Kate hurriedly reported as though she was the carer Eugene had hired.

Eugene nodded. “What do you want for dinner?”

Olivia pursed her lips in embarrassment. “I have no idea. Don’t worry about it. Kate will buy dinner for me. Please go back if you’re busy.”

Eugene smiled in self-mockery, for she kept chasing him away without acknowledging that he was worried about her.

Brian took a look at Kate and suggested, “Your friend has taken care of you for the entire day. I’ll stay here tonight and take her place.”

Eugene took a deep breath in anger because of his younger brother’s suggestion. He hadn’t managed to come up with an excuse to stay there, so how could his younger brother say it before he did?

“I’ll stay here tonight as I have nothing else to do!”

Embarrassed, Olivia hurriedly said, “Both of you don’t have to stay here. There’s a carer here!”

Kate kept looking back and forth as she was amazed by Olivia’s popularity. From NôvelDrama.Org.

Two handsome men were fighting against each other for a chance to take care of her that night. If it wasn’t for the fact that Olivia might get angry with her the next day, Kate would happily let one of the men take her place.

However, at that moment, she had to speak out even if she had to offend the men.

“That’s right. I took a nap in the afternoon, so I’ll have the energy to keep her company tonight. As both of us are women, it’s easier for me to take care of her. Moreover, Olivia won’t feel at ease with you guys here. Don’t worry. As her best friend, I’ll take good care of her.”

With that, these men didn’t have any excuse to stay in the ward anymore.

After Eugene and Brian stayed in the ward for a little longer, they left the place together.

Upon stepping out of the room, Brian turned gloomy at once. “Please don’t drag Olivia into the internal strife of the Nolan Family. Stay away from her if you want her to be safe. Although she has escaped unscathed this time, she might not be so lucky next time!”

Looking at his brother, Eugene heaved a sigh helplessly. “I don’t want her to get hurt, but she’s destined to get involved in the strife.”

With that, he directly left the place.

Gazing at Eugene’s figure, Brian frowned as he didn’t understand what his older brother meant.

Then, he fished out his phone and made a call. “Have you found out anything?”

A man replied over the phone, “Mr. Mccarthy, the driver has been bailed out.”

“Who did that?”

“Eugene Nolan.”

Brian suddenly understood everything. “Got it.”

“Mr. Mccarthy, do we have to investigate further?”

“There’s no need.”

Brian hung up the call upon finishing his words.

After the men were out of sight, Kate heaved a sigh of relief. “Oh God, if they stayed here any longer, I would have a mental breakdown.”

Although Olivia couldn’t see Kate’s face, she could imagine the latter’s expression. In that instant, she laughed and asked, “Why?”

“I was very nervous.” Kate explained, “It was no wonder that you didn’t let them stay here. Just one of them is hard to take, let alone having both of them here.”

Olivia protested, “Brian is alright.”

After giving it a thought, Kate questioned, “Olivia, don’t you think the relationship between Eugene and Brian is a little subtle? I can understand it if they’re just love rivals, but… How should I put it? They appear to be love rivals, but they also seem to be friends. Have they known each other for a long time?”
