Chapter 609

After taking the medicine, apart from feeling a bit tired, Eliana didn’t feel any special effects.

However, Eliana remained on her guard. She knew better than anyone that Jonathan was not someone

to be taken lightly, and his attitude made her feel a little weird.

“Eliana. It’s not good for you to stay in the ward all the time. Let me take you out for a walk.”

Although Jonathan’s words sounded like a suggestion, Eliana knew very well that he wasn’t asking her

opinion.

Knowing that it would be useless to refuse, Eliana nodded.

Jonathan then took her for a walk in the garden of the sanitarium.

Eliana’s face was still wrapped in gauze. Holding Eliana’s hand, Jonathan slowly walked her around the

garden to soak up the sun.

This tender scene reminded Jonathan of when Eliana woke up from a coma five years ago.

Back then, he also took her for a walk in the garden.

“Eliana, do you have the impression of reliving the past like I do? It was so nice back then, just you and

me…”

Jonathan was immersed in his memories of the good old days.

However, unlike Jonathan, Eliana was very distressed.

It had been days since she had seen Aileen and Adrian and she missed them so much. Above all…

She missed Maurice.

The next day, when the doctor was changing the gauze on Eliana’s face, she couldn’t help asking,

“Doctor, when will my face recover?”

The doctor paused for a moment and answered hesitantly, “Very soon… You just need to undergo a

little surgery…”

Surgery?

Eliana was shocked and stared blankly at the doctor. Why did she need to undergo surgery now when

she had never had surgery to treat her scars back then?

“Jonathan didn’t tell me I should have surgery.” Eliana was suddenly very anxious.

“Jonathan didn’t tell me I should have surgery.” Eliana was suddenly very anxious.

The doctor then realized he had said something he should have kept quiet about and he seemed pretty

worried.

“Well… Maybe he didn’t tell you because… he doesn’t want you to be worried,” the doctor stuttered.

Eliana felt something was off. She subconsciously touched her face and asked hesitantly, “Was my

face really that badly injured?”

“Yes! It was quiet serious.” The doctor didn’t dare meet Eliana’s gaze and lowered his head.

Eliana felt that things were getting stranger and stranger. From the moment she was committed to this

sanitarium, she had the feeling that something was wrong with this place.

First of all, she had to take medicine every day, the nature of which she did not know. And there was

the strange behavior of the doctor… Besides, she didn’t feel any of the pain she was supposed to feel.

If what the doctor said was true and her face had indeed been badly injured to the point where she

needed surgery, why didn’t she feel any pain?

Confused, Eliana finally asked, “Doctor, why don’t I feel pain on my face?”

“Miss Pierce, you do take medicine, don’t you? These medicines are painkillers.”

Eliana felt the doctor’s explanation was a little weird.

When the doctor left, a thought suddenly popped into her mind and she had no choice but to face the

doubt she had been subconsciously ignoring this whole time.

She was sitting in the back seat of the car when the accident happened. Her face and leg were badly

injured, which indicated that the accident had been serious. In that case, why was Jonathan completely

fine? After all, he was the one driving that day.

Eliana could no longer ignore her doubt.

She felt there was really something wrong. She had to ask Jonathan about it!

Unable to bear it any longer, she immediately lifted the quilt and got out of bed. She had to find

Jonathan right away.

She was very excited at the moment and didn’t notice the high threshold.

She tripped over the threshold and fell to the floor, her injured left leg hitting the floor first.

At that moment, something stranger happened. She felt no pain in her injured leg.

Eliana was stunned. Things were getting more and more abnormal…

“Miss Pierce, are you okay?”

A maid suddenly rushed over and helped her up.

“Thank you… I’m fine.”

Leaning on the maid, Eliana stood up.

When Eliana saw the maid’s face, she felt like she knew the maid.

“Miss Pierce, let me help you to the bed. You need to have a rest.” The maid helped Eliana back into

the ward and carefully led her back to bed.

Worried and not knowing what else to do, the maid suggested calling the doctor.

“No, it’s okay. You don’t need to bother the doctor.”

Eliana had no desire to see that strange doctor’s face.

However, the maid insisted, “Wait for me here. I’ll be back soon!”
