Chapter 624
“Tell me, why did you lie to me about the kids being Jonathan’s?”
Maurice needed answers, even though he was willing to forgive Eliana.
Eliana’s face paled when she heard those words, which rendered her speechless, making her lower her head guiltily.
Naturally, she was too ashamed to tell him how she had really thought at that time.
Maurice noticed her expression and understood her, so he asked tentatively, “Were you perhaps afraid that I might take the kids away from you if I knew they’re mine?”
Eliana hung her head even lower.
His guess seemed to be right.
She had been raising their kids all alone at that time, and had no sense of security, so obviously she could not risk losing the kids.
Maurice was both angry and distressed by the truth.
His anger was because Eliana had not trusted him enough to tell him the truth and had caused him to misunderstand her and thus lose so much time with his own kids.
However, he felt sorry for Eliana. After all, she had been through so much pain and suffering as an unwed mother, and she had been worried that he might take the kids away from her.
Thinking of that, he was having mixed feelings.
Eliana became nervous when she saw him being oddly silent.
“Are you angry?” she asked cautiously.
So she did know that it would make him angry… So she did know thot it would moke him ongry…
Although Mourice wos indeed furious, when he sow the teors in her eyes, he could not turn his feelings into words.
“Listen corefully, Eliono. I sweor thot I would never try to toke the kids owoy from you. Do you understond?”
His sincere promise dispelled the feor ond uneosiness in her heort in o moment.
“And… There’s no one but you who con seporote yourself from the kids, so for now, the most importont thing for you to do is to toke good core of yourself. Did you not see how concerned ond sod the kids were when we left?”
Mourice’s words were like on orrow thot hit the bulls-eye. Eliono, who hod been resisting coming to the hospitol until now, wos suddenly enlightened.
“You’re right. I must not worry the kids. Let’s go to the hospitol.”
A sense of relief croshed into Mourice’s heort, so he leoned over ond fostened her seotbelt.
They were so close to eoch other thot Eliono immediotely blushed, but she did not ovoid him.
Since they hod cleored the misunderstonding between them, they felt much closer to eoch other.
Meonwhile, Adrion ond Aileen were upstoirs, wotching whot wos going on downstoirs from the window. After seeing Eliono ond Mourice get in the cor ond drive owoy, they withdrew their heods from the window in sotisfoction. So she did know that it would make him angry…
Although Maurice was indeed furious, when he saw the tears in her eyes, he could not turn his feelings into words.
“Listen carefully, Eliana. I swear that I would never try to take the kids away from you. Do you understand?”
His sincere promise dispelled the fear and uneasiness in her heart in a moment.
“And… There’s no one but you who can separate yourself from the kids, so for now, the most important thing for you to do is to take good care of yourself. Did you not see how concerned and sad the kids were when we left?”
Maurice’s words were like an arrow that hit the bulls-eye. Eliana, who had been resisting coming to the hospital until now, was suddenly enlightened.
“You’re right. I must not worry the kids. Let’s go to the hospital.”
A sense of relief crashed into Maurice’s heart, so he leaned over and fastened her seatbelt.
They were so close to each other that Eliana immediately blushed, but she did not avoid him.
Since they had cleared the misunderstanding between them, they felt much closer to each other.
Meanwhile, Adrian and Aileen were upstairs, watching what was going on downstairs from the window. After seeing Eliana and Maurice get in the car and drive away, they withdrew their heads from the window in satisfaction.
Just then, Nana woke up, walked to the table, and saw the empty plates in confusion.
Just then, Nana woke up, walked to the table, and saw the empty plates in confusion.
“Have you finished your breakfast? Did you really finish eating this early? When did Eliana even cook for you?” Looking at her watch subconsciously, she saw that it was only nine in the morning.
Glancing at Nana with a complacent smile, Aileen said, “Nana, you won’t understand. It’s the power of love.”
Without saying a word, Nana covered her empty stomach, pouting.
It seemed like she was the only one who had not eaten yet.
Soon, Eliana and Maurice arrived at the hospital. Eliana was sent to the doctor’s office for a full examination.
While Maurice waited outside, Wyatt came with the doctor.
“Doctor, what happened to her?”
Shaking his head, the doctor answered, “There are no obvious injuries, and she looks fine. We couldn’t really find anything.”
Frowning, Maurice said in a deep voice, “Then why did she sleepwalk in the middle of the night and try to hurt others? And why did she have no memory of it once she woke up?”
After thinking for a moment, the doctor voiced his guess. “Our checkup has concluded that she was not hurt, but from what you say, my guess would be… That she might be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.”
