Chapter 645

“Mrs. Moran… Thank you.”

Eliana looked like a child who had been through a lot in Nancy’s arms. She was not able to hold back

her tears when she felt Nancy’s warm embrace.

Although she had her own kids, Nancy was the only one that treated her like a child.

“You’ve really suffered a lot, darling.”

Eliana was still in her early twenties when she had become the mother of two children.

Without the support of her family, she raised them alone. Nancy could not even imagine how miserable

it must have been for her.

Seeing them, Adrian and Aileen also walked over to hug them.

They were all hugging each other like a family while Maurice stood beside like he was out of place.

At that moment, a nurse walked over and reminded Eliana, “Miss Pierce, it’s time for you to go back to

your ward and take the medicine.”

Aileen was confused when she heard that. “Mommy, didn’t you just say that you only hurt your head a

little? Why do you need to take medicine for that?”

Adrian also fixed his doubtful eyes on Eliana.

“It’s just some anti-inflammatory medicine. Nothing to worry about.”

Not wanting her children to know the truth, she gave Maurice a hint that he should help her conceal it.

Maurice immediately understood and changed the topic.

“Aileen, Adrian, we still have something to talk about, so can you guys go to the playground with the

nurse?”

Aileen had always been obedient, so she immediately agreed. Adrian was reluctant, but the nurse

dragged him away.

Watching the kids’ backs, Nancy could not help but sigh. “What sensible kids! Eliana, you has taught

them well!”

Eliana felt a little shy when she heard that, but Maurice seemed proud.

“Obviously, they’re great! After all, they’re our kids!”

Hearing his confident words, Nancy nodded at first, but then she said, “You can’t take credit! Eliana has

taught them well. I have always liked her, and it seems that she is destined to be the granddaughter-in-

law of the Moran family.”

Nancy really liked Eliana.

Eliana blushed and said shyly, “I am not as good as you think, Mrs. Moran!”

“You should be more confident, Eliana. If I could, I would get you two married right away!”

Nancy turned to Maurice and continued, “Did you hear me? Now that you two have kids, you should

hold the wedding ceremony as soon as possible. If you keep delaying it, then God won’t be pleased

with you.”

Eliana was over the moon to get Nancy’s blessing.

However, she suddenly remembered her illness and said, “Mrs. Moran, I am afraid I might let you

down… We may not be able to hold the wedding ceremony anytime soon.”

“Why? Did Maurice piss you off again?”

Nancy glared at her grandson.

“It’s not his fault. It’s me… I am not well…”

“What’s wrong? Are you sick? Is it serious?”

Nancy became restless as soon as she heard that.

However, Eliana found it difficult to confess about her mental illness.

Just when she was about to say something, Maurice said, “It’s nothing serious, Grandma. She had

been so busy with work that she’s too tired now. She should be fine in a few days after resting well.”

Nancy breathed a sigh of relief and said, “That’s okay. Well, you two talk. I have to go or your grandpa

will call me.”

As soon as Nancy left, Eliana turned to Maurice and questioned, “Why did you lie to her? I don’t want

to lie to her anymore!”

Maurice explained, “You’re right, but I don’t want any more obstacles in the way of our happiness. And I

only hid it from her because I don’t want her to worry about you. She is old and not much stronger than

Grandpa. Besides, the kids don’t know about it. Just like how you don’t want the kids to worry, I don’t

want Grandma to worry about you, either!”

Eliana wanted to say something, but then she stopped on second thought.

That was when Maurice said the most important reason.

“Moreover, now is the perfect time to make Grandpa accept you. I don’t want anything to affect his

opinion of you!”
