Chapter 1271 You’re Back
Ellen furrowed her brows and asked worriedly, "Just where did you encounter those
hooligans? Where are you injured? Do Eugene and Alex know? I noticed that they left early
in the morning. Where did they go?"
Olivia replied, "We're fine. They went to investigate last night's incident. Mrs. Nolan, don't
worry."
Ellen then looked at Jewel and asked, "How about you, Jewel? Did you two go to the
hospital?"
Jewel smiled and said, "Mrs. Nolan, did you forget that Olivia is a doctor? Don't worry. It's
just some minor injuries, and we've already taken care of them."
Ellen seemed to suddenly realize something and responded with an, "Oh."
Meanwhile, Olivia was already surrounded by the children. They would ask her if she was
in pain and if she needed any help.
It was like being the center of attention, which made her feel comforted and warm.
However, when she saw Blake, she couldn't help but feel a tinge of sadness. While she
hadn't noticed it before, now that all the children were standing together, she could see

frail.
Although his condition had been detected early and medication could temporarily control
his symptoms, what if it suddenly worsened one day if they couldn't find a suitable bone
marrow match soon?
Alas, his constitution was unique, and finding a suitable match was proving more difficult
than usual.
She had nonchalantly brought it up to Eugene about it. Just to discover that they had both
secretly undergone compatibility tests with the children. Even Brian had done the same,
but unfortunately, none of them was a match.
So, they had to wait for a suitable match.
If they couldn't find one...
They would have to resort to the second option.
Olivia suddenly caught sight of a figure hurrying in through the door when she was lost in
thought. She looked up and immediately saw Hector, whom she hadn't seen for over half a
month.
"Master—"
She jerked to her feet in her excitement and her eyes were filled with surprise. Normally,
her master would be gone for several months, so why had he returned after just half a
month?
"Master, why have you returned?"
Hector didn't say a word. Instead, his gaze swept through the crowd and landed directly
on Ellen. He even forgot that Olivia had asked him a question, as his eyes revealed
happiness, excitement, longing, and an indescribable thrill when they landed on Ellen.
Ellen's gaze also coincidentally met Hector's. At that moment, her heart skipped a beat.
She was afraid that her eyes were playing tricks on her, so she carefully examined him
again.
He had shaved his beard, and his hair was still black, but there were a few strands of
white at the roots. He wasn't wearing his white robe either. It seemed like he had
deliberately dressed up for the occasion. He wore a dark suit, exuding a sense of
composure and elegance that contrasted with the sage-like appearance she had seen
when they first met.

It was as if a sage had descended into the mortal realm. He was handsome as ever, yet he
also exuded a mysterious worldly charm.
She knew that he was usually swamped with work. When he left, he had specifically called
her into the room and explained the nature of his work. Usually, research on a project
would take several months, years, or even decades.
So, it was perfectly normal for him to disappear for a few months.
After he left, she didn't feel any different. She just found the days a bit more boring
without him around to play chess with her in a battle of wits and chat with him to pass the
time. Now that he had returned, she couldn't help but feel genuinely happy. It was a
happiness that couldn't be suppressed and it was evident in the slight curve of her lips.
At this moment, she could feel her starving heart being filled with an indescribable
emotion.
Yes!
She had to admit that this feeling could be called longing, even if she hadn't realized it
before.
A gentle smile formed on her lips, and her eyes sparkled with hope. "You're back."
