Chapter 507
Olive gave birth to triplets! North, usually preoccupied with work, now even finds time to play a popular mobile game. โNorth, show me that game,โ Olive urged. North quickly showed her phone. โOlive, this is the game made by the little prince of the Augustine family.โ Oliveโs clear eyes fell upon the game, her eye sockets gradually reddening. โOlive, weโre all grown adults playing a game made by a three-year-old! This little prince has really opened our eyes. The world is speculating about his biological motherโฆ Hey Olive, why are you crying?โ North frantically wiped Oliveโs tears with a tissue.
Olive shook her head, lifting her tear-streaked lips. โNorth, Iโm fine. Iโm crying with joy.โ โOlive, this is Elvisโs son with another woman. Why are you so happy? Itโs justโฆ if your baby and Elvis were still together, heโd probably be as powerful as Nathan,โ North said, then gasped, staring at Olive in amazement. โOlive, you wouldnโt tell me that Nathan is your son and Elvisโs?โ Olive nodded. โYes. Nathan is my son.โ โOh my god, Olive! Whatโs going on?โ North exclaimed.
Olive recounted, โThree years ago, I didnโt have an abortion. The doctor said I was pregnant with twins. After returning to the ancient Visionary kingdom, with my motherโs help, I fought against the โOld Ladyโ within me. A few months later, I gave birth to Nathan. Having hurt Elvis so much, I worried about him, so I asked my mother to send Nathan to Alpha. My mother and Alpha agreed that Elvis would be told this was my son via a surrogate, and Nathanโs background would remain a secret.โ
North was stunned. She hadnโt expected so much to have happened after Olive left the forbidden land three years prior. โOlive, why havenโt you returned to Elvis and Nathan in three years?โ Leaving aside Olive and Elvis's relationship, Nathan was an infant when taken away. Was Olive truly heartless?
Olive softly explained, โItโs not that I didnโt want to go back, itโs that I couldnโt. The Old Lady invaded my heart. After giving birth, I fell into a deep sleepโfor two years. When I woke up, all I cared about was little Nathan in Imperial.โ Three years ago, upon returning to the Visionary kingdom, her mother, Joyce, consulted with the four great masters. The only way to save Olive was to terminate the pregnancy, but she refused. Her mother supported her decision, yet helplessly watched as the Old Lady invaded Oliveโs heart and lungs. After giving birth, Olive fell into another deep sleep. Her mother treated her for two years before she regained consciousness.
Northโs heart pounded. Olive had been poisoned by Jean Paulo, a specialist in immortal blood, which had caused her to leave Elvis. They knew nothing of what happened after her return to Visionary. From Oliveโs few words, North heard the tale of a thrilling and perilous rescue. No one knew how Olive and her child survived. Without Joyce, Olive would have died of heart failure postpartum. Her final thought before death was of Elvis, fearing his loneliness; so, she sent Nathan to him.
North hugged Olive. She knew her friend bestโnever revealing her suffering, only enduring and coping silently. โOlive, I know youโve worked hard,โ North said, caressing Oliveโs face. Olive smiled faintly. โNorth, Iโm lucky. My mother spent two years purging the poison. Levi and Ivy grew up happily in Visionary. Nathan is thriving under Elvisโ care. Iโm satisfied.โ
โWhat? Levi? Ivy?โ North recoiled, wide-mouthed. โOliveโฆ how many children do you have?โ Oliveโs eyes welled. โPerhaps the doctor only saw two placentas when I was pregnant; they weren't twins, but triplets. I gave birth to three children.โ Nathan had his own placenta; Levi and Ivy were identical twinsโtwo sons and a daughter.
Northโs eyes widened. Three? With Nathanโs strong genes, how could his siblings be inferior? Sheโd just comforted Olive, but it was she who needed comforting. She was questioning everything! North eventually calmed down. โOlive, the Augustine familyโs little prince is heavily protected. Meeting him will be difficult; we need a plan.โ Olive nodded. โIโm returning to Imperial to see Nathan. Donโt worry.โ
โOlive, why not bring Levi and Ivy? As godmother, Iโd have three grandchildren!โ โThey want to come, but I have a mission. After seeing Nathan, Iโm going to Greenland. Iโm afraid theyโll cause trouble there,โ Olive replied. Her target was Greenland, not a leisurely trip, and she worried about Leviโs mischievous nature. Sheโd left him under Derrick Dominoโs care.
Olive and North talked late into the night, then awoke naturally. North was attending a photoshoot at the Emperorโs Club, and Olive accompanied her.
