Chapter 600

At dawn, Maurice sent Nana away and took the children to school himself.

When he dropped the twins off at the gate of the kindergarten, he ran into Silas.

“Uncle Maurice?”

Silas was stunned when he saw Aileen and Adrian get out of Maurice’s car.

Maurice walked towards Silas with a serious look on his face, holding the two children by the hand.

“Silas, take good care of them, okay?” Maurice said to his nephew as he entrusted Aileen and Adrian to

him.

Silas was even more stunned. How come his uncle cared so much about Aileen and Adrian?

“Uncle Maurice, why are you the one who took Aileen and Adrian to school today? Where is Miss

Pierce?” Silas asked confusedly.

Maurice didn’t want Silas to worry about Eliana, so he didn’t tell Silas the truth.

“She has business to take care of. She asked me to take care of her children for a few days.”

Silas was still confused. However, he saw that Maurice had no desire to talk about these things, so he

gave up asking more questions.

Once Maurice returned home, Corbin also returned.

Corbin’s serious look boded no good. Maurice felt his heart sink.

“Mr. Moran, Eliana might have had a car accident…” Corbin paused for a while. He swallowed and

added, “A young woman was admitted to intensive care at H Hospital. It could be Eliana. According to

the doctors, she hit her head hard against the car window during the accident and her face has been

seriously damaged…”

Maurice wasted no time and rushed to his car. He had to go to the hospital right away. Maurice was

restless as his car sped down the road.

The moment Corbin informed him that Eliana had been in a car accident, his mind went blank. At this

moment, the only thing he wanted was to see Eliana.

He wanted to see her right away!

Slowly, Maurice’s restlessness gave way to remorse.

He thought back to all the things he had done to Eliana. His heart sank and he had trouble breathing.

“Hurry up!” he ordered Corbin.

Every second they spent on this damn road, Maurice felt more nervous.

A few minutes later, Corbin parked the car in front of the hospital. Maurice rushed out of the car and

Corbin took him straight to see the woman who seemed to be Eliana.

“She’s in the ward ahead…”

Maurice didn’t give Corbin time to finish his words and he rushed into the ward.

In the ward, a dying woman wrapped in gauze was lying on the bed. Only her eyes were visible. Her

weakly rising and falling chest was the only indicator that she was still alive.

Maurice couldn’t believe that this dying woman was Eliana, who was always full of life and never

stopped pissing him off.

“Eliana…”

Maurice’s throat was dry, and it took him a lot of effort to call her name. His legs felt weak.

He moved slowly towards the bed and sat down on the edge of the bed. He didn’t have the heart to

touch the woman’s bruised body.

When Maurice spoke again, his voice was trembling. “Eliana, don’t be afraid… No matter what

happens, I will stand by you. When you recover, I will take you home and our family will be reunited.

Okay?”

Tears welled up in the woman’s eyes.

It was so sad.

The next second, a man rushed into the ward. It turned out he was the woman’s family.

“Who are you? What do you want to do to my grandmother?” The man stared at Maurice as if he was a

human trafficker. “Answer me, are you going to abduct my grandmother for ransom?”

“Who are you? What do you want to do to my grandmother?” The man stared at Maurice as if he was a

human trafficker. “Answer me, are you going to abduct my grandmother for ransom?”

Maurice was stunned.

His sadness suddenly changed to shock.

What was going on? Wasn’t this woman Eliana?

Since the woman was wrapped like a mummy, Maurice only relied on Corbin’s words to assume that

she was Eliana.

Now when he calmed down, he looked at the woman carefully. Despite the bandage, he could notice

wrinkles at the corners of the woman’s eyes. Obviously, she was a very old woman.

She couldn’t be Eliana!

“Corbin!” Maurice turned his head and glared at Corbin, his eyes burning with anger.

Corbin felt extremely embarrassed and lowered his head immediately.

He had wanted to tell Maurice that they were in the wrong room. But Maurice was so overwhelmed with

grief that Corbin couldn’t muster the courage to interrupt him when he declared his love to Eliana, even

though it was the wrong woman.

Corbin therefore chose to keep quiet.

Maurice also understood that he had just taken the wrong ward.

“What are you waiting for? Take me to her ward!” Maurice ordered coldly.

“Okay!”

Corbin quickly led the way.

They left the ward at once and headed for the right ward.

In the hallway, a nurse was pushing a wheelchair on which sat a woman whose face was wrapped in

bandages.

That was the woman Maurice was looking for, and he just walked past her.
