“Where are we going?”
Aileen was overwhelmed by this sudden surprise, and the excitement was evident in her voice. She stared at Maurice in a daze, still unsure if what was happening was real. She looked so adorable with her dreamy expression that she almost melted everyone’s heart.
Maurice couldn’t help walking over to her and lifting her up in his arms. He looked at her and said with a smile, “I am taking you to a very beautiful place today. I promise that you will love it, Princess Aileen.”
As she leaned against Maurice’s chest, Aileen had a realization.
This wasn’t a dream! It was really happening!
Later, as the three children all got into the car, they wondered aloud where Maurice was taking them. Was it somewhere they had been before or somewhere new?
In the past, Adrian never would have agreed to go anywhere with Maurice, no matter how enticing the offer. In fact, he would have tried to stop Aileen from going as well and called him a human trafficker.
But after that conversation with Maurice last night, Adrian’s attitude toward Maurice had softened a bit. He was even looking forward to the adventure today.
After a long journey, they finally arrived at their destination.
As soon as they got out of the car, they saw an endless sea of gorgeous sunflowers stretching as far as the eye could see. The golden color of the flowers was as warm as the sun itself. Instantly, their moods lifted as they stared at the sunflower field.
“Wow, they’re so beautiful! I can’t believe it!” Aileen couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise. “Mr. Moran, how did you know I love sunflowers?”
“Because I saw you drawing sunflowers once, so I took a guess. Do you like this place?”
Maurice’s eyes were full of tenderness as he looked at the little girl.
“Yes, I do! Very much!”
Aileen’s face flushed, and her big eyes seemed to shine with light from the inside. She looked like a doll.
Aileen’s face flushed, and her big eyes seemed to shine with light from the inside. She looked like a doll.
“Mr. Moran, can I go into the field to play?”
Her eyes were now full of expectation.
“Of course!” he replied tenderly.
Maurice had arranged for people to come and ensure the children’s safety so that they could play to their heart’s content among the tall flowers.
With his permission, Aileen immediately ran into the sunflower field. Her laughter could be heard from far away as she ran back and forth through the stalks that towered over her.
As he listened to Aileen’s delighted laughter, Adrian awkwardly turned to Maurice and said, “Thank you…”
Maurice just smiled without saying anything in response.
At this moment, in such a beautiful place, he suddenly thought of the children’s mother, Eliana.
That liar would probably also like a beautiful place like this.
Truthfully, he missed her a little bit.
At this moment, Maurice’s phone buzzed as he received a text from Corbin.
“Everything is ready. There will be news regarding Eliana soon.”
As Maurice acted as a father to the twins, Eliana was alone in Jonathan’s sanitarium, still receiving treatment.
“Miss Pierce, it’s time for you to take your medicine.”
On schedule, the doctor walked into the ward and handed a white pill to Eliana.
Every day, the doctor would bring these unknown pills to her exactly on time.
But Eliana was not a fool. She had been treated in a hospital before, and she knew to trust her gut. Looking at the strange white pill in the doctor’s hand, she felt that something was wrong. novelbin
As she reached out to take it, she asked suspiciously, “Doctor, what is this medicine for? What does it do?”
The doctor’s hand trembled slightly, and an unnatural expression crossed his face for a moment before it resumed its usual emotionless expression.
As she noticed these signs, Eliana’s face immediately darkened.
She was right! There was something wrong with the medicine!
“I’m not taking those! And if you don’t tell me what this medicine is, I will never take it from you again!”
She immediately pulled her hand away from the doctor’s, and the pill fell to the floor and rolled away.
Eliana felt like she had escaped some sort of danger, but just at that moment, Jonathan entered the ward.
“Eliana, why are you lashing out at the doctor who is trying to help you recover?”
“I don’t want to take that medicine.”
Eliana knew that something fishy was going on, and she was determined to keep the strange pill out of her body.
But Jonathan couldn’t allow that.
“Nonsense!” Jonathan’s expression became sharp and cold. “Listen to the doctor, Eliana. The medicine is to relieve your pain and calm you down. If you don’t take it, you won’t be able to sleep tonight because of the pain.”
Then he winked at the doctor, who immediately took out another pill and handed it to him.
Jonathan took the pill, sat on the bedside and held the pill close to Eliana’s mouth, so close that he could feel her breath on his fingers.
“Listen to me. The pain will stop after you take this.”
Although he spoke in a gentle voice, there seemed to be a threat behind his words.
Knowing that she couldn’t resist him, especially in her state, Eliana had no choice but to take the pill Jonathan held in front of her face.
“That’s my girl…”
Jonathan looked at her face tenderly, and Eliana felt a chill run down her spine.
