Chapter 647

It was as if the next few days were a world of their own. Eliana and Maurice spent their hours in a

youthful kind of love—one that locked them away from anything and anyone but each other. They

stayed together all day long, never leaving each other’s side.

The time passed like this until Corbin showed up at the hospital armed with a candid speech.

The bottom line was that Maurice was still the CEO of the Moran Group, and he couldn’t just ignore his

position in favor of a relationship. The dream had been drawn out for too long. It was time to go back to

reality.

Corbin had held off as long as he could, and he was at the end of his tether. The senior directors had

been hounding him with questions at every opportunity, driving him further and further up the wall.

Maurice had no reaction to his subordinate’s dilemma, but Eliana took pity on the poor man.

“You should go back now. I’m fine. The company needs you.”

Maurice’s unwillingness was evident, but he knew that Corbin was right. He had taken a long absence

from work, and it was time to deal with his responsibilities to the company.

Taking Eliana’s hand, he gave her gentle reminders.

“If you feel any pain, or if there’s any problem, call me. Can you promise me that?”

Eliana gave him a soft smile. “Okay. Since when were you worrier?”

Corbin stood aside and watched Maurice repeat his worried but soft nagging, holding Eliana’s hand as

if he didn’t want to let go.

Corbin inwardly sighed. Love was a force to reckon with. He had never thought that his boss who

thought of nothing but his job 24/7 was capable of such a tender expression.

Nana came as soon as Maurice and Corbin left.

“Honey, I can’t help but worry about you these days!”

She hugged Eliana as soon as she arrived.

“Don’t worry, Nana. I’m alright,” Eliana said, patting her friend on the back.

Nana stepped back and looked at Eliana for a long time, her eyes moving all over her figure. Only

when she was fully convinced that Eliana was fine did she let out a sigh of relief.

The two talked for a long time about a lot of things, and then Eliana asked about the children.

“Nana, you’ve been taking care of the kids while I’m not there. Thank you!”

“They have been staying with Mrs. Moran during the past few days.” Nana gave Eliana’s hand a gentle

pat. “Don’t worry. Even if the Moran family hasn’t said it out loud, I know that they have already

accepted the situation. When you marry Maurice, you will be a part of the family.”

Eliana’s heart warmed at her words.

It seems that the children were settling just fine.

The thought sent a wave of deep longing to her. She wanted to go home as soon as possible.

“I want to get out of the hospital already. I haven’t seen the kids for days and I miss them so much.”

“You want to leave now? Shouldn’t you get checked again first?” Nana asked in surprise.

Eliana smiled. “I’m fine. Help me pack up.”

Maurice wasn’t here anymore, and Eliana didn’t want to stay by herself in the ward.

Nana was helping Eliana collect her things when an unexpected accident happened.

“Eliana, you are bleeding!”

Nana’s face paled in horror.

“Bleeding?”

Eliana’s hand instinctively lifted to her nose.

There, on her hand, was a wet crimson spot.

“This is…”

Before she could finish her words, a surge of dizziness took over her, and she fell to the floor.

“Eliana! What’s wrong? Don’t scare me like this!”

Nana’s screams echoed through the room as she bent down to help Eliana up.

At the sound of her wails, a female nurse rushed inside the room.

Seeing that Eliana had fainted, she immediately came over and checked her condition.

Nana shouted, “Go and call the doctor!”

Strangely, the nurse made no motion to leave. She looked at Nana and gave a cryptic answer.

“It’s useless. None of the doctors here can cure her.”

“What do you mean?” Nana asked in confusion.

The nurse ignored her question and turned to look at Eliana. “Miss Pierce, I think you know what I

mean. You should know who to find at this time,” she said meaningfully.

Eliana was lying weakly in Nana’s arms, sweating profusely as her head felt like it was being split open.

She raised her head slowly and stared at the strange nurse. Gritting her teeth, she forced out her

words. “Who sent you here?”

“Mr. Bowman.” The nurse told her the truth. “He asked me to deliver a message. He is the only one

who can cure your disease.”
