“Love?”
Eliana felt a little helpless when she heard her five-year-old daughter seriously mention love.
Pinching Aileen’s soft and chubby cheeks, she teased, “Do you even know what love is?”
Aileen pouted and replied, “I know! Love is when one person wants the other to sleep well, eat well, and be happy. Just like how you care for me and Adrian every day! Am I right?” novelbin
Eliana could not help laughing when she heard those words. She continued to caress Aileen’s soft cheeks and said, “Indeed. You’re very smart.”
“Mommy, be serious!” Aileen shook off Eliana’s hand and continued in an adult-like voice, “You asked me if I could accept Mr. Moran as my father, right? Well, I will tell you my answer now. As long as you’re happy, I can accept whomever you chose as my daddy!”
There was a look of acceptance in Aileen’s eyes.
Her childish innocence warmed Eliana’s heart. She was so moved that she sniffled and her eyes filled with tears.
Touching her daughter’s head, she said with a sigh, “Good girl!”
Aileen said proudly, “Fortunately, you chose a handsome man. I am glad.”
Eliana was amused.
“Alright, go to sleep now. You have school tomorrow.”
Saying that, Eliana picked up a fairy tale book from the bedside table and began to read her daughter a story, but she fell asleep before she could even finish half the story.
Maurice was in the living room, and he was starting to get worried when Eliana did not come out of the room for a long time, because of what had happened the night before.
Just when he was about to go and check on her, she walked out of the room.
“Eliana, you…”
All of a sudden, Maurice felt that something was wrong.
Eliana lowered her head, her face expressionless and her eyes empty, just like the night before.
Maurice cursed in his heart. She was having another attack!
He did not dare to disturb her and was so afraid that she might hurt herself, so he quietly followed her.
Fortunately, he had foresight, and had put away all the sharp things in the house as soon as he had come back from the hospital, worried that she might have another attack.
However, to his surprise, she wandered around for a while before she stood in front of a wall, banging her head.
She was going to hurt herself!
Maurice’s pupils dilated and he reacted quickly by immediately rushing forward and hugging her from behind.
“Stop!”
He firmly held her.
However, the unconscious Eliana was crazy, and she became more agitated when he tried to stop her.
She struggled crazily, but she was not strong enough to break off his embrace. Since she was not holding any sharp objects, she just bit his arm hard, like a wild animal.
“Hmm…”
Maurice groaned in pain, but he did not let go.
Something was wrong with her.
It was evident that her condition was nothing like any post-traumatic stress disorder he had heard in his life.
Maurice did not even hesitate as he took out a sedative and injected it into her body.
Soon, she stopped struggling and collapsed into his arms weakly.
There was an imperceptible look of heaviness in his eyes as he held the unconscious Eliana.
He looked at her with pity.
Although he had stopped her in time, she had still gotten a big bruise on her forehead by slamming her head against the wall. She was bleeding a little, and there was blood in the corners of her mouth, because she bit him.
Maurice raised his hand, gently wiped the blood away, and murmured, “Eliana, sleep well. Leave everything to me. Don’t worry, I will cure you…”
