It was late when I got ho. My dad was already asleep, but my mom was waiting for in the living room.
"Hi, sorry. We had a great ti at dinner, so we’re a bit late," Aaron explained as soon as he saw my mom.
My mom seed a bit upset, but since Clara was my good friend and Aaron was her boyfriend, she didn’t let it show.
"Glad you’re ho", my mom replied.
"We’re heading out now," Clara quickly said.
"Take care on the road," my mom nodded with a smile.
Once Clara and Aaron left, my mom’s smile faded. She asked, "Did you really go out to dinner with them?"
I nodded and replied, "Yes"
If my mom found out I’d been to the hospital to see Damon again, I could be sure Jones was the one who told her
I calmly poured a glass of water and waited for her to continue
But my mom didn’t ask any more questions. Instead, she seriously advised , "Good I can’t keep you locked up forever, Eliana. You have to make smart decisions."
She then handed my phone. "Here’s your phone. Go to bed"
"Okay, mom," I got it. I happily took my phone and humd a tune while heading upstairs. As a woman of the 21st century life without a phone was a challenge I hadn’t found a steady job yet so I hadn’t even gotten around to getting a computer Life seed pretty barren.
Once upstairs, I imdiately plugged my phone in to charge and turned it on
I had over twenty missed calls most of them from Damon and a few from Jones, Luna and Joshua.
I had 99 ssages on WhatsApp
I glanced through each one replied to those who needed a response, and finally landed on Damons chat
Damon had witten multiple ssages. Did you like the movie?
Why aren’t you replying? Where is your phone?
Eliana, you’re not ssing with
You got clues from and then ignored ?
The movie has started. Are you ssing with ?"
The last ssage was sent the night I ignored him, and it said. "I’m outside your house?"
He’d sent a ssage to notify , but because i didn’t reply he probably felt like a fool and left soon after
Seeing all the ssages he sent,
I rembered the past, I used to send ssages to Damon just like this, but the difference was I was forced to stand
I was suddenly a bit happy Damon finally got a taste of being ignored.
He even got beaten up. Did that an there was justice in this world?
It was a bit immoral to think this way but it was fun if i block him now, he’d probably be livid
In the end. I gave up on the idea, fearing Mitch and the others would co after again.
Damon’s injury should’ve been kept a secret. He was the heir to Coleman Co and the only son of the Coleman family
If news of his brain injury got out, it would definitely affect the company’s interests. After all, his business acun was quite impressive.
But for so reason, within two days, newspapers and the internet were filled with news of his injury, and it was blown out of proportion. After reading few articles, I even started to wonder if Damon had been knocked silly
Damon quickly responded by releasing his dical report, proving his injuries weren’t serious
Interestingly, once he was injured, many won he’d been rumored to be involved with sent him their well–wishes for a speedy recovery
"Eliana, Damon’s parents, went to the hospital to see him", Luna said with a hint of sarcasm during our phone chat. And that Ariel, she goes three tis a day like a hursel
"Let her be. Hopefully, her sincerity can touch Damon," I calmly replied.
"I think that’s highly unlikely," Luna said. "Do you think she intentionally leaked the news of Damon’s injury for revenge?"
"I didn’t think so. After all, she was hoping Damon would fall in love with her now. She wouldn’t do sothing so stupid."
I replied, "I think it’s more likely soone from Daniel’s end did it. Even though he’s in the ICU, soone must know about their feud."
"Maybe you’re right. I have to go see what toy those two are fighting over now!" Luna’s kids suddenly started making a fuss, so she had to hang up in a hurry
As a mother, her life was indeed much busier.
I was lounging on the rocking chair in the yard, hoping to catch so sleep. Just as I was about to doze off, a call woke up, and the caller surprised .
"Eliana," Lisa Coleman’s tired voice ca through the phone after I answered it.
"Can I help you?" I politely asked.
"I’m in the city right now. Do you have ti to et with ?" Lisa asked.
I didn’t have a reason to et with anyone from the Coleman family, so I gently declined.
But Lisa didn’t give up. "Eliana, we were family after all. Let’s et for a al. I have sothing to discuss with you."
"You can tell over the phone," I replied.
"Let’s et anyway. We haven’t seen each other in a long ti. I’m near your house right now. It’ll only take half an hour", Lisa’s tone was sincere, without a trace of superiority
My parents were both at work today, and I was ho alone. Although I could et Lisa, I didn’t think it was necessary.
In the end, I still refused. After hanging up the phone, I sat in silence for a while. I lost the mood to sunbathe, so I got up to go back to the living room.
"Eliana," soone called from outside the door, "Can we talk for a bit?"
The security in my neighborhood was excellent, but anyone who had been to my house before could generally co right in.
I didn’t expect Lisa to show up at my front door
Since she was already here, I had no choice but to open the door and invite Lisa into the living room. I poured her a cup of coffee and prepared so fruit.
"Eliana, I know I shouldn’t be bothering you, but I just can’t help myself." Lisa’s face was etched with exhaustion,
Two years had passed, and she seed to have aged significantly, yet still dressed in her elegant and dignified attire, wearing the gemstone bracelet I once gave her.
These past two years, Damon has been more of a worry than ever. After your divorce, he showed no interest in the blind dates we set up for him, and he’s had no contact with won whatsoever. Eliana, he’s my only son, and I sure as hell don’t want to see him single for the rest of his life, and I can’t let Coleman Co. die in his hands.
I listened quietly, not yet sure what Lisa was driving at.
Looking at , Lisa’s eyes held a hint of embarrassnt, "Eliana, I know it’s a big ask for you to co back, but today, I’m swallowing my pride to ask if you could give Damon another shot?"
