Chapter 2: Narrow Path of Arch-Enemies
As she stepped into the room, her heart skipped a beat. There, sitting on the sofa in the teacher’s office, were her mischievous duo, swinging their legs playfully.
The moment they spotted her, their eyes lit up, and with joyous excitement, they slid off the sofa and ran towards her.
“Mommy, you’re finally out! I thought you were planning to permanently reside in the research lab!”
“You’ve worked hard, Mommy. Are you tired? Sit down, and I’ll give you a back massage…”
With that, one on each side, they held Olivia’s hands and Olivia to the sofa, where she took a seat.
Looking at their affectionate gestures, Olivia’s heart swelled with a mix of love and exasperation. Despite the trouble they caused, moments like these made it all worth it.
“You’re being well-behaved now, but where were you two when you were messing with my computer?”
Benjamin, seeing this scene from behind his desk, couldn’t contain his anger, his beard bristling.
Sebastian boldly defended themselves, “It is your fault, Mr. Everett! You always make Mommy work overtime. Look, she’s practically malnourished!”
“That’s right… Mommy is just a mortal being. How can she be made to work day and night?”
Ethan chimed in, actively squeezing Olivia’s shoulder with his small hand, mimicking his brother’s words.
Amidst his frustration, Benjamin couldn’t help but laugh, albeit with a hint of annoyance, “It’s only you two who protect her like this! Everyone in this research institute has gone through the same thing!”
After saying that, Benjamin turned his attention back to business and asked Olivia, “How is the research progressing?”
Olivia smiled, “Very smoothly. I’ll send the data to your computer later.”
Pausing for a moment, she asked, “Has the computer been restored?”
Benjamin grabbed his hair, anxiously replied, “It’s been an hour, and it still hasn’t recovered.”
Olivia chuckled and patted Ethan’s tender little hand, “Go on, restore Mr. Everett’s computer to its original state. No fooling around. What if you really lose important data?”
Upon hearing that, Ethan immediately responded in a sweet voice, “Don’t worry, I always make backups, and I’ve added multiple layers of protection. How could I possibly lose it?”
Though he said that, he obediently moved to Benjamin’s side and began restoring the computer.
The little guy’s fingers flew across the keyboard, skillfully typing a series of codes…
A few minutes later, the computer screen flickered and immediately returned to its original state.
After seeing it, Benjamin couldn’t help but be amazed. The two sons of his apprentice were truly exceptional with their intelligence!
They were talented, but also exceptionally good-looking.
To the point that every time they caused trouble, he couldn’t bring himself to scold them and ended up directing his frustration towards Olivia instead!
Sensing the tension, Olivia quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, teacher. The little ones have caused you trouble again. Please don’t be angry.”
And don’t come to scold me!
Don’t always make me take the blame!!!
Seeing her expression, Benjamin couldn’t help but laugh, “Don’t worry, I’m not going to scold you, but I have a task for you! I plan to establish a research institute focusing on traditional medicine in my home country. However, I still have a lot of work to do here, so I can’t leave at the moment. Therefore, I thought about it and decided to send you back!”
“Teacher, I…” Olivia hesitated, instinctively wanting to refuse.
But Benjamin interrupted, saying, “Olivia, I know you don’t want to go back… Over these years, you’ve studied medicine with me, and you should understand the vastness and profoundness of traditional medicine! There aren’t enough medicinal materials abroad for you to research. But in our country, it’s different… There’s an abundance of medicinal materials for you to use. Most importantly, there are many hidden medical families there, all of them talented individuals who possess the inheritance of ancient medical techniques. Aren’t you interested in this aspect? That’s why… I suggest you go back!
With your abilities, you will surely achieve great things in the future. Moreover, you have already undergone significant transformations. Even if you encounter any challenges or bad people, you should be able to handle them well, right?”
Upon hearing this, Olivia was momentarily speechless.
It was true! Six years have passed, and that man… who knows, he might have already married his love.
What is there for her to be afraid of?
With this thought in mind, Olivia took a deep breath and nodded, “Okay, then. I’ll go back to the country.”
Benjamin was pleased, “It’s good that you’ve thought it through! Don’t worry, when you go back, I will send Linda to go with you. Plus, I will arrange a professional team to assist you.”
“Thank you, teacher!”
Olivia nodded, , expressing her gratitude.
During their conversation, Sebastian and Ethan, the two adorable little kids beside them, blinked mischievously.
They had wanted to go back a long time ago!
After all… their daddy was in the country, and they’d wanted to see him for a long time!
Of course, while seeing him, they also wanted to teach him a lesson.
Who allowed him to abandon his wife and children!!!
…
Two days later.
Seacrest International Airport.
Just after getting off the plane, Ethan crossed his legs and tugged at Olivia’s dress, his voice filled with urgency, “Mommy, I need to pee, I have to go to the restroom.”
Olivia and Sebastian couldn’t help but burst into laughter at his adorable plea, “Okay, let’s go…”
While speaking, Olivia couldn’t resist ruffling Ethan’s head.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
The little guy shivered and protested, “Mommy, don’t touch, I’m afraid I’ll end up peeing in my pants!”
Hastening their steps, they made their way to the restroom. Olivia stood by, taking care of their luggage while waiting for Ethan and Sebastian. She took a moment to send a message to her teacher, informing him of their safe arrival.
At that moment, a slightly familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ear, “Useless! So many of you, and you can’t even keep an eye on a child. What’s the use of all of you?”
Olivia’s fingers on her phone froze involuntarily.
She couldn’t help but raise her gaze. That silhouette was like a masterpiece carefully carved by the hands of God, flawless and stunning enough to outshine the sun and moon.
He was Victor Leer!!!
