Chapter 663
Eliana went into a panic and began trying to wipe the blood from the corners of her mouth. However, despite how much she tried to wipe it, she couldn’t get it clean, the blood continued pouring out her mouth, basically unstoppable.
No, she wasn’t going to go out like this, she needed to find a way!
Eliana pulled the medicine the doctor had prescribed for her earlier from her bag in a hurry, and despite whether it was or was not truly useful, she stuffed it all into her mouth in an instant and swallowed with a struggle. As she was panicking, she recalled what the nurse had said again at the hospital.
“Mr. Bowman just wants you to come back to him.”
“Then death may be the only option left for you.” Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Was she going to die if she didn’t return to Jonathan?
For the first time, the threat of death hit Eliana hard. She began shaking uncontrollably in fear.
Just then, Eliana thought of the children and Maurice. Reuniting with them had not been easy. She couldn’t leave them so easily… She had to remain calm at times like this.
She took a couple of deep breaths and felt herself slowly calm. Gradually, her headaches subsided, they didn’t seem as bad as before.
She allowed herself a slight, sad smile. She considered if it would be possible for her to hide the pain again next time without being found out…
Just then, she caught sight of blood stains on the collar of her dress. The blood she had spat out accidentally had rubbed on her dress. She opened the tap and got cleaned up quickly.
All of a sudden, Eliana’s phone rang at that moment, startling her.
She pulled out her cell phone and saw it was an unknown number calling.
Eliana felt her heart skip a beat as she saw it. She hesitantly answered the call, “Hello?”
“It’s been a while, Eliana.”
“Jonathan!” she shouted in surprise even though she had expected it.
“Are you alright?”
Eliana felt a chill run down her spine at the sweetness in the man’s voice.
She was furious. “What the hell did you do to me?!”
“It appears the medicine has begun working. Do you often feel dizzy, have chest pains and palpitations, have recurring nightmares each night, and vomit blood?”
Eliana’s face turned a ghastly white at Jonathan’s words.
She couldn’t bear it anymore. “Jonathan, you psycho, what the hell are you trying to do?!”
“Aren’t you aware, Eliana? I love you. I want you to return to me. That’s all. Once you come back, all the pain would end. You don’t wish for Aileen and Adrian to lose their mother at such tender ages, now do you?”
Jonathan’s words felt like the whisper of a demon, and it made Eliana’s mind twist in discomfort. This demon was claiming to be in love with her while he had her drugged to torture her. She wanted no association with this sort of obscene love.
“You make me feel sick, Jonathan…” Not ready to waste more of her time on Jonathan, Eliana hung up. She was worried she would throw up again if she said more.
Eliana’s emotions were in disarray because of the conversation. She leaned against the cold tile wall, doing her best to calm the anger that was growing within her.
Right at that moment, she heard the faint sound of an argument between two people outside the door.
Gerald’s sharp voice could be heard outside the bathroom. “Confess, Aleck! What sort of bribe did my nephew give you? Who gave you the guts to mess around with Eliana’s origins?”
Aleck’s voice was deep as he retorted, “Don’t try slandering me, Gerald. I’m loyal to the chairman.”
Gerald snorted, “Stop lying. How else could the information on Eliana be tampered with if not for you? If it hadn’t been, with her mother being from the White family, my father would have definitely not agreed to let Eliana marry Maurice!”
With a straight face, Aleck stood firm on his word. “I said I didn’t do anything. The chairman requested I investigate Eliana’s background. What I discovered is what is on the profile. I can’t help if you don’t believe me.”
Gerald was not ready to drop the matter. “So you refuse to admit it, right? Let’s go see my father right now. Let’s explain everything to him!” He tugged hard on Aleck’s arm as he spoke.
Right at that moment, Maurice showed up. “Let him go, Gerald!”
