Chapter 642

If this was before, Earle would have already grabbed his walking stick and hit Maurice when Maurice

had said in front of him that Maurice wanted to be with Eliana and would never leave her. And he would

have scolded Maurice for his wishful thinking and told him that the Moran family would never accept a

woman like her.

But at this moment, he hesitated.

He thought of Adrian and Aileen. Although they were Eliana’s children, they were his great-

grandchildren.

Moreover, he liked the two children so much. So now that he knew they were really his great-

grandchildren, how could he not be happy?

“Bring the two children here right now.”

Maurice pinched his glabella helplessly. Since he had told Earle the truth, he knew this would happen.

“Grandpa, the children are still in school. And they don’t know the truth yet. If you call them over rashly,

they will be frightened.”

“No, I want them here now.” Earle seemed determined to get the children immediately. “Bring them

here. Otherwise, I won’t take my medicine.”

Earle was burning with anxiety. He wanted to see the twins right away and tell them that he was their

great-grandfather.

Maurice was annoyed by Earle’s behavior. But he didn’t compromise.

“Grandpa, you can’t threaten me just like that. Anyway, it’s useless. I have to ask the children’s mother

first. We can’t make the decision without her consent.”

“I want to see my great-grandchildren. Why do I need to ask her permission?” There was a trace of

guilt in Earle’s voice.

It was rare for Maurice to see Earle being embarrassed, so he couldn’t help teasing, “Do you regret it

now? You’ve always been mean to Eliana. Aren’t you afraid that the kids won’t talk to you after they

know the truth?”

“I…”

Earle was rendered speechless for a moment.

But soon, he snapped, “Anyway, I don’t care. Go find that woman now. Tell her I want to see the

children.”

No matter what Maurice said, Earle insisted on seeing Adrian and Aileen. And he kept threatening that

he wouldn’t take his medicine if Maurice didn’t give in to his demand.

So Maurice had no choice but to go back to Eliana’s ward.

At this moment, Eliana was already awake.

She lay in the bed, touching the gauze on her forehead.

“Ouch!” Eliana gasped in pain.

Then she looked around blankly.

Wasn’t she supposed to be at home? What happened? Why was she in the hospital now? And why did

her forehead hurt?

While she was still wondering, Maurice walked in. Her eyes lit up at once.

She immediately asked, “Maurice, what happened? Why am I in the hospital? And what happened to

my head? Why does it hurt?”

Maurice didn’t intend to hide the truth from Eliana this time. So he showed her the surveillance video

from home last night.

Confusion was written all over Eliana’s face.

Soon, the video clearly showed her what had happened last night. She walked out of the children’s

room in a daze and wandered around the house like a ghost. In the end, she banged her head against

the wall, trying to hurt herself. She even went crazy, biting Maurice, who tried to stop her.

“Oh my God!” Eliana gasped and covered her mouth in disbelief.

The last thing she remembered was that she told Aileen a story last night. Then after that, she had no

idea what had happened next.

“Maurice, I really don’t remember anything. How… How could I go crazy like that? What is wrong with

me?”

Eliana was flustered. She grabbed Maurice’s arm in a panic.

Maurice’s heart sank upon seeing her like this. But he suppressed his emotions and comforted her,

“Honey, it’s alright. The doctor said you are just suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. You need

a good treatment. Otherwise, you will keep hurting yourself.”

“Post-traumatic stress disorder…”

Eliana fell back to the bed in a daze. It was hard for her to accept that she suddenly became mentally

ill.

“How do you feel now?”

Maurice looked at Eliana worriedly. The love and pity in his eyes were overflowing.

Eliana didn’t want him to worry about her, so she forced a smile and comforted him, “I’m fine. I just

can’t accept it for a while. It’s just post-traumatic stress disorder. This kind of minor illness can’t defeat

me.”

Maurice stretched out his arms and hugged her tightly. He could see that she was only pretending to be

strong.

So he comforted her, “Everything will be fine. No matter what happens, I will be by your side. I will

never leave you.”

Eliana buried herself in Maurice’s arms and felt the warm temperature from his chest. Finally, she

calmed down a little.

They hugged each other quietly for a while. It was as if nothing could separate them.

When Maurice saw that Eliana had finally calmed down, he said, “Eliana, I have something to tell you.

My grandpa already knew the children’s identities. Now, he is clamoring to see Aileen and Adrian. Will

it be okay with you? Will you allow him to see them?”
