"She’s bound to be suspicious, so I need you to put on a show with . If everything goes smoothly, we can sort out both your father’s situation and that of Joshua" Damon said, looking at intently.
I was taken aback, and then I frowned. "What do I need to do?"
I chatted with Damon for a long ti that night. He told everything he knew, gradually dispelling the doubts in my heart about him.
In the end, he told that it wouldn’t hurt to see him as a partner and to stop doubting him all the ti.
Maybe he was right. My trust in him seed to have hit rock bottom, and anything anyone around said could increase my suspicion towards him.
But the next day. Damon and I had a big blowout.
Damon smashed an ashtray on the floor and pointed at , saying, "If you still don’t trust , then get out, disappear from here right now!"
His eyes were cold, without a trace of affection.
I looked at Damon in disbelief, anger flaring up in my heart. Since he already said this much, there was no point in sticking around. I started packing, took a few clothes and dashed downstairs.
At this point, Hannah had already made breakfast, and both Silas and Lisa were downstairs.
Seeing rush down pale-faced, they were all taken aback.
Especially Lisa, she imdiately ca over to stop . "Eliana, what happened? Why did you guys fight?"
"Lisa, I’m moving out. Damon asked to leave," I said to Lisa, my eyes rimd red. "Maybe I shouldn’t have agreed to co back in the first place. There are too many irreconcilable issues between him and . I’m sorry, I have to go."
Lisa held on to tightly and said, "Wait! What the heck is going on? Where is Damon?"
I glanced upstairs, then broke free from Lisas grip, grabbed my luggage and rushed out.
Without hesitation, I drove off from Starlight Estates and headed to the hospital.
On the way, I made a call to Luna
"What? What on earth are you two up to? You just moved into Starlight Estates not long ago, and he’s already kicking you out. Are you two playing gas?" Luna asked, totally confused.
"It’s not a ga, Luna. I’ve realized that once the relationship between him and is broken, we can’t nd it. I’ve seen it clearly. I won’t expect Damon to help anymore." My voice was resolute, and cold.
"Really? But what about your father’s situation... " Luna’s voice was filled with worry.
"I’ll figure it out myself. It might just take a little longer," I replied indifferently.
Luna sighed, then comforted , "It’s okay, no matter what decision you make, I’ll support you. If there’s anything I can do to help, just let know."
Luna’s words moved . Whenever I needed help, she, along with Clara and Sofia, were always willing to lend a hand. Just then, I heard Mitch’s voice coming through Luna’s phone. "What’s going on? What happened between Eliana and Damon?" Mitch was the one who cared most about what was going on between Damon and . I guessed he was nearby when Luna took my call. "That’s none of your business!" Luna snapped at Mitch, clearly taking out her frustration with Damon on him.
I felt a little guilty, but I didn’t offer any explanation, and hung up the phone.
I visited my mother at the hospital. The caregiver told that my mom woke up again last night, but it was very brief, so she didn’t notify .
It seed like she should be regaining consciousness soon.
"Mom, wake up. Let’s go ho," I softly said, holding my mom’s hand.
As if sensing my voice, my mom’s hand started to move.
I was startled, watching my mom’s trembling fingers. This ti, her fingers trembled for longer than the first ti.
The caregiver saw it, was very excited, and imdiately went to call the doctor.
By this ti, my mom had slowly opened her eyes. Having been unconscious for so long, her gaze was very confused. It took a mont before it landed on .
My eyes welled up, and sothing seed to be lodged in my throat. I couldn’t help but tear up.
"Mom, you’re finally awake," I choked out, gripping her hand tightly.
"Please step aside, I need to check the patient", the doctor rushed over and said to .
I imdiately stood up and moved aside, anxiously and excitedly waiting for the doctor to examine my mom.
After a while, the best news reached my ears. When the doctor said my mom should be fine, the tears in my eyes finally fell.
My mom is my rock. Once she woke up, I felt a lot less lonely and isolated.
"Mom, I’m going to get you so food," I told my mom. She had been surviving on nutritional drips for a while. The doctor said I could try getting so easily digestible food to replenish her energy.
My mom’s eyes moved, but she wasn’t able to speak yet.
I smiled at her, then left to get food.
As soon as I got in the elevator, Jones stepped in.
There were another three or four people in the elevator. Jones glanced at but didn’t greet .
I kept my head down, pretending not to see him. I didn’t want Jones to keep tabs on .
The others gradually left the elevator, leaving just and Jones going to the first floor. I started to feel a bit uneasy, as Jones’s gaze seed to be on .
"Have you seen Damon yet?" He was the first to speak, seeming to expect to cause trouble for Damon.
"I saw him, but he didn’t want to talk to ," I said in a low, annoyed voice. "Jones, can you stop bringing up Damon and Ariel from now on?"
Jones was wearing a mask, showing only a pair of cold eyes. They looked aloof, but at this mont, they held a hint of a smile. "Are you mad at ? Do you think I’ve caused a rift between you two?"
"I don’t want to talk about this. I have other things to do." As soon as the elevator doors opened, I quickly said this and walked out ahead of him.
Jones’s gaze was intense, man. Even after I’ve bolted out the front door, I could still feel him eyeballing .
My head was a total ss, but since last night, I had made up my mind that I’m teaming up with Damon, not Jones.
So I couldn’t just flip flop now, especially gotta watch out for Jones. He was a pro at exploiting my soft spots, he knew exactly what to say to ss with my head.
