Chapter 1133 Come back with Him (4)
Elliot spoke up directly, not wanting Rose to suffer any harm or injustice.
"Don't worry about the child anymore. I will take good care of him. After the IV is done, we'll send him to the villa and move all of Shawn's clothes and belongings there without delay."
After Elliot finished speaking firmly, he glanced at the child again before turning around to leave. Before he left, he also took a quick look at Rose. Rose caught his gaze and comforted the little boy for a few moments before following Elliot out.
Madeleine was so angry that her face turned red, but she had no choice in the matter. She knew that once Elliot made up his mind about something, it wouldn't change - especially since he was still fixated on that woman Rose!
No way could she just sit back; she had to find a way to make Elliot completely disgusted with Rose!
What could she do?...
"Mommy." A small voice filled with nervousness interrupted Madeleine's thoughts. When she came back into focus, she saw her son lying in bed receiving an IV drip. Her eyes flashed with disgust and annoyance - it was this brat who embarrassed her in front of Rose earlier!
"Why are you shouting? You're so annoying!"
She wanted nothing more than to leave right now but Shawn was still a bargaining chip; if she left now, then there would be no chance for her to marry Elliot.
That's right - Madeleine's goal never changed: She wanted to marry Elliot and step on top of Rose.
She couldn't lose against someone like Rose!
Rose followed Elliot out of the hospital.
She thought that after arriving at hospital today, he would have asked her apologize or stand by Madeleine's side. But what happened just now was completely different from what she expected.
Rose stole glances at him several times before retracting them again, her eyes full of confusion.
Elliot suddenly stopped walking ahead and turned around towards her, saying, "I need to talk with you about something, Rose... let's find somewhere quiet."
Before finishing his sentence, however, his phone rang abruptly.
A call from his assistant which didn't seem too pleasing judging by how unhappy Elliott looked upon checking the caller ID.
"Wait here, I need to answer this call first," said Elliott while answering it immediately.
A few minutes later, Elliot's brow furrowed tighter and his face grew colder and more ominous. Rose stood beside him, watching closely, unsure of what had happened until she saw him hang up the phone. "What's going on?" she asked.
Elliot looked apologetically at her. "There's some business I need to take care of at the company." He pursed his lips into a line before speaking, "Take the kids back with you, Rose."
Rose knew he meant for her to take the children back to his villa to stay. Before she could say anything, he continued, "Or I'll come pick you up after | finish my work."
Watching him like this made Rose inexplicably soft-hearted; under his gaze, she nodded in agreement and said, "Okay."
Just like that, for no apparent reason at all, Rose agreed with Elliot - even forgetting about yesterday's anger.
Rose didn't even have time to react until after Elliot had left in a hurry and disappeared without a trace.
Why did her anger suddenly disappear? Was it because it was so rare for her to see Elliot beg so gently? Definitely.
Ever since she returned home from abroad and met Elliot again, they were constantly fighting each other - everything was always tense between them; there never seemed to be any peace or calmness...
In the afternoon when Elliot didn't show up as planned to pick them up; instead an assistant drove Elliot's luxury car over Valentin's house where he picked up Rose along with two children.
Sean initially didn't want go because he didn't want to see that scumbag father who bullied his mommy but staying here alone would mean being separated from Leah and his mommy again so Sean decided follow along into Elliot's villa. Anyway, his identity had been discovered by Elliot.
Meanwhile, Shawn who had finished receiving treatment came back early waiting for them in the villa where three children gathered together making things lively and causing Rose to smile happily while looking on.
Elliot seemed very busy lately - leaving early every day and only returning late into night- causing several days pass without seeing him around much but luckily having kids around kept things from getting boring or dull.
Madeleine never came over either.
Sometimes when looking at this situation, Rose would feel as though it were all just a dream - one where she married Elliot, had cute babies, and then stayed home taking care of them while he worked outside...
The quiet warmth of the moment was almost too good to be true. Rose was at home watching the maid cook, planning on learning how to cook some dishes herself, when she received a call from Elliot's assistant informing her that he had been admitted to the hospital.
She could hardly believe it. Elliot had always been in great health, and in all their years together, she had never seen him sick. How could he suddenly end up in the hospital?
It wasn't until his assistant mentioned an ulcer that Rose remembered a scene she had witnessed before.
Late one night, around eleven or so,Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
she went downstairs to get some water and noticed that the light was still on in his study. She peeked inside and saw Elliot on the phone discussing work matters. She hesitated for a moment before going back upstairs with her water; by the time she returned he had hung up.
At that moment, Rose saw him sitting in his chair holding his stomach with an expression of pain and discomfort etched across his е face. Just as she was about to go over to him, however, the phone rang again and whatever discomfort he felt disappeared instantly as if it never existed.
Now looking back at that moment it seemed clear - Elliot must have been suffering from ulcers even then.
But during all their time together,
Rose never once noticed any sign of discomfort from him whatsoever; if not for what his assistant said now, there would have been no way for her to know anything about this situation because Elliot never spoke about such things nor showed any emotion when they were together.
Most of their time spent together seemed like arguing or getting angry - either Rose would argue or Elliot would get mad.
"Mrs. Harper? Mrs. Harper, are you still there?" The assistant's voice brought Rose back into reality once more.
"Yes, I'm here," replied Rose quickly, "How is he doing now? Oh... he's already undergone surgery? And still unconscious. Alright, I understand; I'll head over there later."
Rose promised repeatedly when hearing that Elliot was still unconscious after surgery.
She had the maid cook some porridge and some easy-to-digest food and kept them warm inside a thermos, while instructing her children to stay at home. Then she rushed off towards the hospital without delay.
