He found out all that on his own; Clara never spilled the beans to anyone else.
The doctor sighed after hearing it all and said, “Damn, poor kid, you must cherish her. I just examined her and found that she’s as fit as a fiddle; there shouldn’t be anything wrong. But she can’t be starving herself anymore.”
Elio Milburn nodded, “Thanks, doc.”
The servant escorted the doctor out and closed the door.
Elio sat by the bed, watching Clara with her eyes still closed.
She was knocked up, definitely carrying Emmett Melendez’s kid, but at this point, even with her being pregnant, he couldn’t have sent her back to Emmett.
He could only quarantine her heré completely and make sure Emmett couldn’t find her or let Leah Calloway discover her. He simply couldn’t come up with any better
solution.
He touched Clara’s cheek and lowered his head, his eyes filled with sadness.
“Why can’t you stay with me? Can’t you see how much I care about you? It’d be so great if the bun in your oven was mine! I like Alex, and I’d love your child; we could go back to how things were!”
Clara was lying in bed, her eyes tightly shut.
“If Emmett hadn’t shown up, I really think you would’ve gotten used to me and would’ve stayed with me, even if it was just to give Alex a complete family! But fate’s a bitch; everything’s changed!”
Elio held Clara’s hand tightly.
Suddenly, a new thought dawned on him. Leah’s words flashed through his mind.
What if the kid Clara was carrying was his? Would Emmett then give her up?
Could he then go back to the old days of living in harmony with Clara?
He immediately got up and called the servant over.
“What’s up, Elio?”
“Tell the doctor who was just here; he can’t spill the beans about Clara being pregnant to anyone else! If he lets the cat out of the bag, all my efforts will be wasted!” The servant nodded and assured, “Don’t worry, I’ve already given him a heads up, and I’ve got something on him; I believe he won’t spill the beans! Besides, I brought him here blindfolded; he wouldn’t know his way back even if he wanted to sell us out!”
“Good.”
Elio frowned. His emotions were mixed.
The news of Clara being pregnant was a real kick in the teeth!
“Clara, what the hell am I supposed to do? If I pulled the wool over your eyes, would you never forgive me? Would you… hate me?”
Elio always thought of himself as not being selfish, but that time, he really wanted to do something for his own desires.
Emmett left no stone unturned; he even sent people to look for Elio overseas, but they still couldn’t find a trace of him.
His secretary called, “Mr. Melendez, we’ve checked all the properties under Elio’s name; we even went to each one, but we still can’t find him or Clara.”
Looks like Elio might have taken Clara to someone else’s place, or maybe some hotel.
