Chapter 160

The moment Eliana heard the maid’s bloodcurdling scream, she stepped back in fear.

The maid ran to her side and closed the window.

“Ma’am, please don’t harm yourself.”

Panicking, she looked at the woman in front of her, whom Maurice had carried back in his arms.

With a bitter smile, Eliana said, “Don’t worry. I just wanted to open the window to see where I was.”

After hearing that, the maid breathed a sigh of relief.

“Ma’am, you are the first woman that Mr. Moran had brought home. If something happens to you, I will

be punished for it!” the maid said in an anxious voice.

However, Eliana did not believe her at all.

“You’re kidding, right? He’s skilled in kidnapping people! He should be bringing women home often!”

Eliana scoffed.

“Everything that I said is completely true. Look, even this nightdress is new.”

The reason the maid came upstairs was to give Eliana the nightgown. She handed the nightgown to

her with a smile.

“You’d better take a shower and get changed first,” the maid added softly, looking at Eliana imploringly.

Looking down at her bloodstained clothes, Eliana had no choice but to compromise.

“Okay, give it to me.”

Holding the nightgown in her hand, she walked to the bathroom, removed her bloodstained clothes,

and took a shower.

She felt a lot better when she walked out of the bathroom.

All of a sudden, she heard her phone ring. She immediately turned around and saw that it was a call

from Nana.

“Hey! Eliana, where are you? Have you caught Hodge yet?”

Nana was staying home with Adrian and Aileen.

She was really anxious because she hadn’t been able to get in touch with Eliana or Corbin ever since

Eliana went after Hodge.

“Nana, don’t worry. I’ll talk to you about Hodge in detail once I come back. Please take care of the kids

for the time being. I’m now…”

Before she could finish her words, a female doctor walked in with a bottle of medicine.

“Where are you?” Nana asked.

After careful consideration, Eliana decided not to tell her the truth, because she knew that Nana would

come to Maurice’s place and cause trouble if she knew that she was in his house.

Thinking of Maurice’s threats, Eliana shuddered.

“Don’t worry, I’m fine. I just couldn’t catch Hodge and was in a bad mood. I’ll come back once I calm

down.”

Nana was still suspicious. “Really?”

“Yes, I promise,” Eliana replied.

After coaxing Nana, she hung up and saw the doctor waiting for her.

“Miss Pierce…” The doctor looked at her, feeling embarrassed.

“I’m sorry for wasting your time. Please tell Maurice that he doesn’t have to be so concerned about me.

I just want him to let me leave this place at once.”

The doctor could not convince her to take the medicine, so she put it down and left.

Eliana refused to eat or take the medicine, so her fever got worse. She was feeling very weak by that

evening.

She curled up under the covers, feeling the sudden heat and cold in her body. Her hands and feet were

also cold, and she couldn’t think straight.

While she was delirious, the door was pushed open, and she sensed the fragrance of soup.

“Get up and eat,” Maurice said, walking in with a bowl of cream of mushroom soup in his hand.

As he looked at the untouched medicine on the table, his voice became cold.

Although Eliana had her eyes closed, she could still feel his icy gaze.

She silently pulled up the quilt and turned her back to him to express her dissatisfaction. She was

determined to protest till the very end.

Seeing that, Maurice was furious.

He put the soup on the bedside table, picked up the medicine, and put it into his mouth. He then took a

sip of water, pulled Eliana up from the bed, and kissed her. Her eyes widened in surprise.

“Hmm… Hmm…”

Eliana struggled in vain.

The moment she opened her mouth, he let the water and medicine in his mouth flow into hers.

After doing what he wanted, he stepped back.

Eliana coughed and was about to spit out the medicine.

“If you dare to spit it out, then I’ll have sex with you,” Maurice threatened her.

Eliana hesitated and swallowed the medicine unconsciously.
