That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

The clear exchange of glances between the two did not escape Isaac’s notice, and he wisely chose to remain silent.

Only after they both looked away did he smile at Olivia and say, “The herbal suppliers I contacted have only set up branch offices in Seacrest, but it should be enough to ensure your institute’s supply. I wonder if Dr. Prescott would mind?”

Olivia collected her thoughts and smiled appropriately. “Since Mr. Whitaker recommended them, I trust they have sufficient capability. Besides, we are just a small research institute and don’t need much. A branch office will suffice for us.”

Isaac raised an eyebrow slightly. “It’s a small research institute now, but with Dr. Prescott, who knows how it might develop in the future?”

Olivia smiled without responding to his remark and instead asked, “Regarding the confirmation of the cooperation plan, what do those herbal suppliers intend to do?”

She wanted to resolve this issue as soon as possible, preferably before Lily could react.

As long as she settled the matter with the herbal suppliers and then moved abroad, the institute would no longer be her concern, and Lily would not trouble them anymore.

Isaac said, “Their headquarters are in Sylvania City. Whenever Dr. Prescott has time, it would be best if you could visit them personally.”

Olivia readily agreed. “I’m available anytime. Once they confirm the schedule, please let me know, Mr. Whitaker.”

Isaac nodded.

After discussing business, the atmosphere at the dining table became somewhat awkward.

Isaac glanced at the two people beside him and couldn’t help but feel anxious for them.

Although Olivia hadn’t asked Victor to leave, they hadn’t exchanged a single word throughout the meal…

After some thought, Isaac decided to give them a little push.

“Victor, how has Sophia been these past few days?” Isaac casually took a bite of food, put down his chopsticks, and looked at Victor beside him.

At this question, both of their expressions changed simultaneously.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Victor hadn’t expected him to bring up Sophia suddenly. He glanced at Olivia across the table, seeing her eating with her head down, and frowned slightly in displeasure before replying in a deep voice, “She’s not in any serious condition, just a bit emotionally unstable. Jenson has been visiting her frequently.”

Ever since learning that Olivia was going abroad, Sophia had been trying to get better but had a lingering emotional burden, causing her mood to fluctuate.

Sophia’s condition had worsened because of Olivia, yet Olivia seemed indifferent upon hearing about it.

Thinking of this made Victor’s demeanor grow colder.

Olivia’s heart tightened when Isaac mentioned Sophia. It took all her strength to suppress the urge to ask about her and maintain a facade of calmness.

Hearing Victor’s response only deepened her guilt.

She had long known that Sophia would be emotionally affected by her actions but had still heartlessly said those things to her.

Sophia must really hate her now…

Isaac’s voice interrupted her thoughts again. “What’s been going on lately? Sophia’s condition was stable for a while and even showed signs of improvement. Just when we were about to celebrate, she went missing, and now her condition is deteriorating again. If this continues, how long will it take for Sophia to recover?”

As he spoke, Isaac glanced meaningfully at Olivia across the table.
