Old Man Nolan stroked his goatee beard and laughed happily. “Well, he’s very eloquent and quick-witted. Doctor Maxwell, your son is amazing!”. Olivia chuckled. “Yes, but he’s just too mischievous. Old Man Nolan then looked at North carefully before muttering to himself, “It’s good to be mischievous. All mischievous kids are smart. North looked at the little gray beard on Old Man Nolan’s chin and was eager to touch it. “Great-grandpa, may I touch your beard?”. Old Man Nolan stretched his chin forward and answered happily, “Go ahead!”. Upon hearing North’s request, Olivia frowned. “Don’t be rude, North. However, Old Man Nolan was generous and replied, “It’s fine. The child is curious. Go ahead and touch it!”. North’s eyes were filled with excitement. His small hand gently touched Old Man Nolan’s beard before he smiled happily. “Great-grandpa, your beard isn’t prickly at all. While he said this, North even touched his own chin and continued, “Why can’t I grow one?”. After saying those words, the room was filled with laughter, and Old Man Nolan had the happiest smile on him. “Your beard will be long once you’ve reached my age. “Then we’ll see who will have the longest beard by then?”. Old Man Nolan laughed out loud. “Alright

I’ll work hard to live longer so that we can compare when the time comes. North patted his chest and assu red him. “Don’t worry. Mommy’s here. She’ll cure your disease!” . Old Man Nolan laughed out lo ud while his face was glowin g and his cheeks were ruddy. Meanwhile, Olivia’s face turned dark. She coul d not understand how North was so confident. Ev en Olivia dared not to speak a word about this. A soft layer of light shone on Eugene’s fa ce too. He was pleased that this little guy was able to make his grandfather so happy. Nathan, too, could not hold in his laugh ter. “You’re always advertising about yo ur mom no matter when and where you are.

Old Man N olan agre ed to it. Later, Olivia took out a small pulse pillow and checked his pulse. She also inquired about his recent diet and sleeping patterns. After ten minutes, Olivia replied, “Your recovery is going well. Try not to be angry and overly excited, Grandpa. No matter what you’re facing, try n ot to get anxious and try to stay positive. Also, try to have a balanced diet. Don’t overeat, but try having small, frequent meals instead. “Alright. ” Old Man Nolan nodded in agr eement. “I didn’t expect that you’d be so good at this at such a young age

Olivia smiled and answered, “I’m just good at traditional Chinese medicine and it just so happens that I was able to cure your disease. Old Man Nolan chuckled. “You don’t have to be so humble. I know my ill ness very well. It’s thanks to your capabilities that I was saved from the gates of death. Rocky, have you properly thanked Doctor Maxwell?” . Upon hearing this, Olivi a wanted to laugh. Is Eu gene’s nickname ‘Rocky’? . On the other hand, Eugene’s face t urned dark and whispered, “Grandpa , there are still outsiders here!” . Old Man Nolan froze for a while as he stroked his goatee beard awkwardly. “Y ou little brat. I’m already used to calling you by this name. I’m asking you if you had thanked her? Can’t you listen to the main point of my sentence?” . Eugene facepalmed at his words and lo oked toward the other three who were t rying hard to suppress their laughter. “Grandpa, can you ask the m if they heard anything e lse besides the nickname?” . Old Man Nolan looked towa rd them and asked, “Did yo u all hear anything else?” . With a serious face, Nathan answered, “I heard that you want Eugene to thank Olivia. Olivia also added, “That’s righ t. You’re most welcome, Grandpa. Mr. Nolan has already paid me!” .
