Chapter 648

There was a tone of panic in Nana’s voice. “What do you mean? Tell me now! Why did you say that no

doctor could cure Eliana?”

The nurse glanced at Eliana and said slowly, “Miss Pierce, can you still remember the medicine you

took in the sanitarium?”

What medicine?

Eliana’s eyes grew wide with shock after she heard the nurse’s question. She could still recall the days

when the doctor had administered some strange pills to her and lied that they were painkillers.

She closed her eyes and muttered, “There was something wrong with that medication…”

The nurse nodded complacently.

“It’s a newly developed drug. Only Mr. Bowman has the antidote. You just need to take the antidote

twice a day, morning and tonight, and you’ll be fine. But since you have insisted on leaving Mr.

Bowman’s care, then no antidote will be administered to you again.”

Now Eliana understood.

A bitter smile appeared on her face.

The reason why she had gone crazy in the first place was not because of stress or trauma. It was all

because of Jonathan!

She had been too naive to believe that a lunatic like Jonathan would let her go easily.

Eliana closed her eyes, sighed heavily and asked, “What on earth is he planning to do?”

A wry smile was visible on the nurse’s lips. “Mr. Bowman just wants you to come back to him.”

“What if I don’t want to go to him? What if I refuse?” Eliana opened her eyes and stared hard at the

nurse.

There was a dark expression on the nurse’s face; then she leaned forward and said in a cold voice,

“Then death may be the only option left for you.”

“That crazy bastard! I’ll kill him when I get my hands on him!”

Nana could no longer stand what was unfolding before her eyes and almost ran over to slap the nurse.

However, Eliana raised her hand to stop her.

But as she moved, she suddenly felt the need to throw up. She could taste the blood at the back of her

throat, and the next second, she spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Eliana, is that blood? Doctor! Can you hear me? Doctor! We need your attention right now!”

Nana wrapped her hands around Eliana as she cried out in panic.

At that very moment, the nurse suddenly took out a pill from her pocket and stuffed it into Eliana’s

mouth.

“What did you just give Eliana?” Nana asked, still staring at the nurse warily.

“Just the antidote,” the nurse said. “Miss Pierce, this pill can only suppress your illness for a short

period of time. The only chance of survival you have is going back to Mr. Bowman.”

Eliana’s face was pale. The blood that she had spat dribbled down her chest. She was in a sorry state.

But a bright and firm light still radiated from her eyes.

“Go and tell Jonathan that I will never come back to him. Never. Not in this lifetime.”

The nurse grew anxious. “If that is choice, then death is very certain for you. Aren’t you afraid of

dying?”

“So what if I die?” Eliana wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. “Tell him that he’s invited to my

funeral. If he’s still interested in seeing me.”

Due to Eliana’s stubbornness, there was nothing the nurse could do to convince her.

The nurse glanced out of the ward with a frown on her face. The noise had alerted the doctors. She

knew that she had to take her leave immediately.

“Miss Pierce, you’d better think it over. You should know that you’re in a very bad situation.”

The nurse took one more look at Eliana, turned around and bolted out of the ward.

As soon as she left, Nana quickly took out her phone and began typing a number hurriedly. “Don’t be

afraid. I’ll call Maurice now. I know he will know what to do to save you.”

However, before she could tap on the send button, Eliana stopped her.

“No, I don’t want him to know about it.”

Nana’s eyes widened. “But why?”

Eliana reached out and held Nana’s hand firmly.

“Nana, I want you to promise me that you won’t tell anyone about it. I don’t want Maurice to be

controlled by Jonathan. I don’t want Jonathan to hurt him!”

Nana burst into tears. “You’re acting crazy! Did you not hear what that nurse said? That bastard

drugged you. You are dying slowly. Are you aware of that?”

Eliana’s eyes were filled with sorrow. The pain in her body kept reminding her that she was in a bad

state.

However, she was now filled with so much determination.

“No, I can’t let anyone know. Nana, I can’t afford to get Maurice into trouble again.”
