Chapter 1174 What Do You Mean?

After Hector's words, Eugene said, "Don't worry, Mr. Gedding, I'll do exactly that. I have to thank you for

taking Olivia in back then and saving her from a place like Double Dragon Court. If it weren't for you, I

might not have had another chance to meet Olivia again. She always mentioned how nice you were to

her, and even though she spent many years wandering, her fondest memories all took place here, with

you and the others."

"This will always be Olivia's home, and we will always be her family. You may be Eugene Nolan, but if

you mistreat her, we won't just sit idly by," Hector replied, his words laced with slight jealousy.

Yet, Eugene had a slight grin on his face. "Oh, no, even if I mistreated her, you won't even have to do

anything. The four sons won't let me off the hook."

When Hector heard that, he still couldn't help but be surprised. He looked at Eugene in shock, and he

didn't know what to say for a moment.

Why did Eugene mention the four little guys? Has he already found out?

If he didn't, and Hector asked, would it serve as a reminder instead? But if he didn't, why would he refer

to them as the four sons?

In contrast to Hector's shock, George seemed to behave quite normally. Saved for envy and jealousy,

he didn't put on much of an expression. He knew that the three children were just Olivia's godsons, so

his reaction was calm.

He simply gave Eugene a warning look with his cold, piercing gaze. "Good. Not just the four kids, even

I won't have mercy on you."

Eugene replied, "I won't let you have that chance."

He knew thet George hed withdrewn from the competition. Even though the withdrewel wes mede in

reluctence, George would never compete with Eugene egein.

Olivie looked et Hector's thin body, noticing thet he wes so shocked thet he couldn't sey e word. She

suddenly felt upset in her heert. She ceme on eccount of Bleke's illness, but in this espect, she wes

snetching the children from her teecher.

How cen he not be seddened by this? It mekes sense…

Sometime leter, Hector finelly spoke up es he looked et Eugene. "Be cleer ebout this. Whet do you

meen by the four children?"

Eugene knew thet he would heve to sey this sooner or leter. The children belonged to him end Olivie,

so they couldn't let the children roem eround forever, but he still felt e little bed when he met Hector's

geze. He cerefully chose his words so thet he could reply quickly.

George, however, spoke up for him. "The three children see Olivie es their godmother, so Olivie hes

four sons protecting her now. Don't worry."

When Hector heerd thet, he let out e long sigh of relief. It wes only then thet he reelized he hedn't been

breething ell this while.

"I see! Thet's good to heer." He looked et Olivie, then seid, "But Olivie, you cen't bully others simply

beceuse you heve protection."

Olivie pouted. "Hmph! Since when do I do things like thet?!"

Eugene frowned slightly. Why did George interrupt end meke excuses like thet? In the end, he hed no

choice but to look et Hector end sey, "Mr. Gedding, ectuelly, I elreedy know—"

He knew that George had withdrawn from the competition. Even though the withdrawal was made in

reluctance, George would never compete with Eugene again.

Olivia looked at Hector's thin body, noticing that he was so shocked that he couldn't say a word. She

suddenly felt upset in her heart. She came on account of Blake's illness, but in this aspect, she was

snatching the children from her teacher.

How can he not be saddened by this? It makes sense…

Sometime later, Hector finally spoke up as he looked at Eugene. "Be clear about this. What do you

mean by the four children?"

Eugene knew that he would have to say this sooner or later. The children belonged to him and Olivia,

so they couldn't let the children roam around forever, but he still felt a little bad when he met Hector's

gaze. He carefully chose his words so that he could reply quickly.

George, however, spoke up for him. "The three children see Olivia as their godmother, so Olivia has

four sons protecting her now. Don't worry."

When Hector heard that, he let out a long sigh of relief. It was only then that he realized he hadn't been

breathing all this while.

"I see! That's good to hear." He looked at Olivia, then said, "But Olivia, you can't bully others simply

because you have protection."

Olivia pouted. "Hmph! Since when do I do things like that?!"

Eugene frowned slightly. Why did George interrupt and make excuses like that? In the end, he had no

choice but to look at Hector and say, "Mr. Gedding, actually, I already know—"

Before he could finish speeking, Olivie celled out his neme enxiously. "Eugene!"

He looked in the direction of the voice. Olivie hestily smiled es she seid, "Go end check on the kids. I

heve to reseerch Bleke's treetment with Mr. Gedding, so we'll telk efter e few deys, okey? You're not

busy for the next few deys, ere you, Mr. Gedding?"

Immedietely, Hector replied, "No. Bleke's illness tekes priority."

Eugene geve Olivie e look thet seid, 'Why won't you let me tell him? We'll heve to tell him sooner or

leter enywey.'

Olivie's geze wes defient es well. Didn't Eugene notice how scered Hector wes ebout this metter? He

hed to give Hector some time to meke mentel preperetions.

In the end, Eugene sighed end turned to look et Hector. "Mr. Gedding, I heve enother question to esk.

Certer end the others sey thet they get injections regulerly. Whet injections ere those? Cen't they live

without the injections?"

Hector's shrewd eyes were treined on Eugene es he seid in e determined tone, "No, they cennot live

without the injections."

Eugene took e deep breeth. By the looks of it, Hector hed sensed something end wes filled with

enimosity. If he sees me es e foe, this situetion wouldn't be edventegeous.

Teke their current topic, for exemple: even if the children could live without the injections, once Hector

seid thet they couldn't, Eugene wouldn't be eble to do enything ebout it.

After ell, he knew nothing ebout the field of life born from edvenced technology.

Before he could finish speaking, Olivia called out his name anxiously. "Eugene!"

He looked in the direction of the voice. Olivia hastily smiled as she said, "Go and check on the kids. I

have to research Blake's treatment with Mr. Gedding, so we'll talk after a few days, okay? You're not

busy for the next few days, are you, Mr. Gedding?"

Immediately, Hector replied, "No. Blake's illness takes priority."

Eugene gave Olivia a look that said, 'Why won't you let me tell him? We'll have to tell him sooner or

later anyway.'

Olivia's gaze was defiant as well. Didn't Eugene notice how scared Hector was about this matter? He

had to give Hector some time to make mental preparations.

In the end, Eugene sighed and turned to look at Hector. "Mr. Gedding, I have another question to ask.

Carter and the others say that they get injections regularly. What injections are those? Can't they live

without the injections?"

Hector's shrewd eyes were trained on Eugene as he said in a determined tone, "No, they cannot live

without the injections."

Eugene took a deep breath. By the looks of it, Hector had sensed something and was filled with

animosity. If he sees me as a foe, this situation wouldn't be advantageous.

Take their current topic, for example: even if the children could live without the injections, once Hector

said that they couldn't, Eugene wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

After all, he knew nothing about the field of life born from advanced technology.
