Olivia looked at the excited Ellen ahead of her, and she seemed to be affected by the mood as she smiled and said, “She looked so happy when she saw Mr. Gedding.”
Eugene replied, “I have never seen her like that, and it was my first time hearing her talk about those days, too. I knew that she might be suffering when she was in a wheelchair, but I didn’t know she was in so much despair. She didn’t want to live, but she couldn’t die, either. I thought I gave her everything I could, but I only found out today that the things I gave her weren’t nearly enough. She just wanted to thank Mr. Gedding. If doing this can make her happy, I don’t want to stop her.”
Olivia watched the two people in front of her. Ellen asked, “Why don’t I make grilled fish?”
“Sure! Your grilled fish is delicious, Godmother. Mr. Gedding would love it.” Jewel agreed with her choice of dish. Ellen said, “Let’s make some chicken soup too, and I’ll also prepare some spicy crayfish for North.”
Olivia didn’t realize it, but a gentle light had reached her face as well. There was some connection between them, after all. She suddenly grinned. “Eugene.”
Eugene looked at her in surprise. “What’s the matter?”
Olivia leaned in closer to Eugene. “Say, won’t it be nice if my teacher can get together with your mom? My teacher has always devoted his life to this research, and he has stayed single all along. He’s getting old now, so he can’t remain alone. Your mom probably won’t get back together with your dad, so she should find someone to spend the rest of her life with. Why don’t we give them a hand?”
When Ellen returned, Blake had already woken up. She hugged him and felt her heart aching for him all over again. She encouraged him and spoke to him caringly, and she also promised to keep him company during that period.
Blake was still sick. Even though he didn’t cry or make a fuss, he was still a little weak. He didn’t like to be alone, and he knew very well that Ellen painstakingly came to visit him, so he was very attached to her.
In the end, Ellen had to tell him that she was going to make delicious food for him so that she could leave. After bustling about for two hours, Ellen finally cooked up enough food to fill a table with Olivia’s and Jewel’s help.
When everyone gathered at the table, Ellen turned to Hector earnestly. “Mr. Gedding, come and try the food. If there’s something you like, I can make it for you next time.”
Hector was pleasantly surprised for some reason. “Please, sit down. You haven’t been able to rest after you arrived.”
Ellen smiled and said, “It’s okay, it’s not tiring at all. I’m so happy to see you and to know that my grandson is all right.”
“Don’t worry, this is a clinic we’re running after all. Olivia and I have already come up with a treatment plan. We’ll strengthen Blake’s immune system with traditional medicine first. If it’s not as effective as planned, we’ll have him undergo chemotherapy once every three weeks. Eugene will also look for matching marrow throughout the country. Blake will definitely be cured.”
Ellen was obviously pleased by his reply. “I know. With you and Olivia around, there’s nothing I have to worry about.” As she spoke, she took some food and placed it on Hector’s plate. Hector hastily said, “I’ll do it myself, thank you.”
Eugene and Olivia seemed to have sensed something. They exchanged glances, then smiled. Even though they wanted to get the two together, they had to know first whether the two liked each other..
Their advanced age wasn’t a problem-love had always transcended age. As Jewel looked at the two sitting opposite her, she felt that something was going on.
Of course, in the days that followed, her suspicions only grew stronger. Olivia would always hang out with Eugene, Jewel, and the four children as if she were going out on purpose.
Finally, Jewel found an opportunity to talk to Olivia alone when Eugene took the children to get ice cream. “Olivia, what are you guys doing? Why do I feel like you’re going out on purpose?”
Olivia was doubtful. “Oh? Are we that obvious?” Jewel was speechless. “You do it every day, but you won’t take Godmother with you. Isn’t that obvious enough?”
Olivia pulled Jewel closer and said mysteriously, “Jewel, don’t you think that your godmother and my teacher make a nice couple?”
Jewel’s eyes lit up as she instantly realized something. “Oh! Don’t tell me you’re thinking of.
