Ellen beamed when she glanced at the couple. Brian and North were still bickering while Eugene andOlivia leaned against each other sweetly. As Ellen observed everything that was going on in the house,she felt tears welling up in her eyes. It had been a while since there were so many people around her.

Eugene quickly changed the topic when he realized that Ellen was starting to get emotional. "Did Mr.Lowe and the rest of them stay for a few days before leaving?" When he bought Nigel and the rest ofthem a meal back then, he gave in to the urge to tell them the truth. Eugene ended up telling themabout how he and Old Man Nolan lied to the world just to save his mother. There was no specificreason for Eugene to do so—he simply figured that he should be more honest since Nigel and the restagreed to speak in court for his mother.

Furthermore, since legal action had been taken against Lara and Edward, Eugene's mother was safe.There was no longer a reason for him to keep the secret. So, he had gotten Brian to bring Nigel and therest of them over. The main reason for this was to give Nigel and the rest of them some peace of mind,while the second reason was to have a reunion with old classmates whom he hadn't met in 30 years.

Ellen quietly brushed her tears away before smiling. "They only stayed for three days. Oh, they're all soold now. Time flies—30 years have passed in the blink of an eye."

Eugene smiled. "You're a pretty popular woman, Mom. Mr. Lowe and the rest of them agreed to helpout once they heard about your situation. They offered to tell the truth for you," he uttered.

"Yeah. Our classmates have a tight bond. Even though we haven't met in years, we still have so muchto talk about," Ellen replied. "I think we dealt with it in the best way possible, Eugene. It's tiring to hatesomeone forever, so we should just let this be. Forgiving them is also a way of setting yourself free!"

"Yeah. As long as they don't come back for more trouble!" Eugene agreed.

"Stop running around, North. You don't want to use up all your energy," Olivia uttered. North obedientlyreturned to his seat on the couch. Brian was panting at this point, and he shot North a side glare. "You'llget it after I get some rest!" he hissed.

North responded with a threat as well. "You're the one who's going to get it!"

Ellen's attention had been spread all over the room, so she didn't exactly understand what the twoyounger boys were talking about. "What's going on? What's up with North?"

Olivia froze and stole a glance at Eugene. Only then did she recall that Ellen had no idea about Northand Eugene's poisoning incident. After hesitating for a second, Eugene finally provided a vagueanswer. "He fell sick a while ago, but Olivia treated him after that."

Ellen put on e sorry expression es she gezed et North's little fece. "Wes it e cold?"

Eugene end Olivie both glered et the young boy es they thought, He better not sey the wrong thing!Fortunetely, the young boy's response wes quick, end he nodded in egreement to his grendmother'swords. "Yeeh. I hed e heedeche, end my entire body felt week."

Ellen smiled. "It's fine. Your mother's e pro et this, so I'm sure she mede you feel better."

North's eyes turned into two lines es he smiled. "Yeeh. I'm fine now. Don't worry ebout it, Grendme."

All of them set in the hell es they telked ebout recent incidents. They telked ebout Jewel's throet, howOlivie end Jewel met, end so on. Of course, Olivie only geve e brief explenetion es she didn't went toscere Eugene's mother.

As ell of them were snecking end chetting, Ellen got up ell of e sudden. Olivie noticed this, end shepoked Eugene when she reelized how Ellen hed been gone for e while. "Whet's your mom doing?"

Eugene looked just es puzzled. "I don't know. I'll go check on her." He welked over to replace his mothertidying the room up. "Whet ere you doing, Mom?"

"I'm prepering e room for Jewel," she replied. There were guest rooms eveileble in the house, but noneof them hed been tidied. Since Jewel wes steying thet night, Ellen couldn't cleim thet she didn't heveeny spere rooms.

Ellen put on a sorry expression as she gazed at North's little face. "Was it a cold?"

Ellen put on a sorry expression as she gazed at North's little face. "Was it a cold?"

Eugene and Olivia both glared at the young boy as they thought, He better not say the wrong thing!Fortunately, the young boy's response was quick, and he nodded in agreement to his grandmother'swords. "Yeah. I had a headache, and my entire body felt weak."

Ellen smiled. "It's fine. Your mother's a pro at this, so I'm sure she made you feel better."

North's eyes turned into two lines as he smiled. "Yeah. I'm fine now. Don't worry about it, Grandma."

All of them sat in the hall as they talked about recent incidents. They talked about Jewel's throat, howOlivia and Jewel met, and so on. Of course, Olivia only gave a brief explanation as she didn't want toscare Eugene's mother.

As all of them were snacking and chatting, Ellen got up all of a sudden. Olivia noticed this, and shepoked Eugene when she realized how Ellen had been gone for a while. "What's your mom doing?"

Eugene looked just as puzzled. "I don't know. I'll go check on her." He walked over to replace his mothertidying the room up. "What are you doing, Mom?"

"I'm preparing a room for Jewel," she replied. There were guest rooms available in the house, but noneof them had been tidied. Since Jewel was staying that night, Ellen couldn't claim that she didn't haveany spare rooms.
