“Is Young Master Jewell here because he’s worried that I’m still alive?” Eliza asked indifferently with an extremely hoarse voice.
Beside her, Skyler was so nervous that her heart skipped a beat. Luckily, Chester was not mad, but his gaze was dark.
“Why didn’t you tell me yesterday that you have a fear of water?” Chester asked while staring at Eliza’s ghastly face.
“Did you give me a chance to tell you? In fact, have you ever treated me as a human?” Eliza chuckled, but it seemed like a sneer. “Young Master Jewell, please leave. I’m exhausted, and honestly, I’m traumatized by your face.”
“Trauma can be overcome.” Chester straightened his body. “What do you want to eat? I’ll get someone to send the food over.”
Eliza ignored him and turned to look at her assistant. “Get me a bowl of porridge.”
The assistant felt uncomfortable, especially after she caught sight of Chester’s awful expression.
“Alright. I’ll go and get it now.” Skyler did not dare to linger around anymore and jumped at the opportunity to escape.
Eliza closed her eyes and could not be bothered with Chester.
Chester subconsciously wanted to take out his cigarette box. However, at the thought that he was in the hospital, he fought back his urge. Eliza’s behavior now really infuriated him.
Since she was ignoring him, so be it.
He bent over and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
Although her lips were chapped due to fever, it did not prevent him from kissing her.
Eliza never thought he would do this. The moment she came to the realization that he was kissing her, she resisted him by pushing him away.
Considering that she had been having a fever for one night, she had no strength to resist him.
Chester clutched her hands and pressed them before trying to deepen the kiss.
Nevertheless, Eliza closed her lips tightly so that he could not do it.
Anyway, Chester was not in a rush. So, he slowly kissed her lips over and over again while controlling her hands.
No longer able to put up with him anymore, Eliza did not hide the hatred in her eyes anymore. ” Chester, are you that desperate? You can’t even let a sick person off.”
“I’m actually not very interested in you looking like that. I had no choice but to do this because you refused to look at me or talk to me. ” Chester bent over and touched her chin. A smile spread across his handsome face. He never thought that he would one day take liberties with a woman.
“Eliza, last night was my fault, but I didn’t know you have a fear of water.”
“I know. ” Eliza answered impassively, “I haven’t recovered yet, and I’m exhausted. Can I rest now?”
“Sure you can.” Chester stood still. Eliza grew impatient. “Can you leave?”
“My legs are mine. You have no right to make me leave.” Chester raised his eyebrows and stared into Eliza’s eyes.
“You’re right.”
Eliza nodded weakly but did not talk to him after that.
In the Lodge.
Mireya woke up from a hangover with the sunlight shining through the window.
She suddenly sat up, and her head hurt.
Was she not drinking with Eliza? Why did she end up here?
Was it the next morning already?
Mireya did not feel good about the situation. She hurriedly put on her clothes and went downstairs. ” Aunty Loretta, where’s Dani…”
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Ryan sitting on the couch and carrying Dani in his arms with a milk bottle in his hand. From her chubby face, Dani seemed content with the milk. What a cute baby she was.
However, that scene was bizarre.
Upon noticing the noise, Ryan lifted his eyes and glanced at Mireya. He did not say anything for fear of disturbing Dani.
Instead, Aunty Loretta came with a basin of water and explained softly, “Young Master sent you home yesterday. You were drunk, but Dani insisted on having you take care of her, and I couldn’t deal with her alone, so Young Master coaxed her to sleep.
This morning, Dani made quite a fuss, and it was also Young Master who soothed her. Since she’s hungry, she’s drinking some milk again.”
Those words made Mireya guilty. Nevertheless, she never thought that Ryan would be able to soothe Dani.
After Dani finished her milk, Ryan walked up to Mireya with Dani in his arms.
Once Dani saw Mireya, she stretched out her hands to ask for Mireya to hold her.
Mireya promptly carried Dani and apologized to her guiltily. “I’m sorry, darling. I promise not to get drunk anymore. I’m sorry…”
She apologized non-stop, feeling sorry for her child.
Not only did she fail to provide Dani with a complete family, but she also did not fulfill her duty as a mother.
Ryan gazed at her with an unusually solemn face. “I hope you’ll do as you say.”
Mireya lifted her head meekly. “Thank you for yesterday.”
“It was no trouble bringing a drunkard back.” Ryan frowned. “But I hope that it won’ t happen again. After all, Dani is a poor child. I understand that you’ve been occupied with the divorce matter and upset with Rodney being quite close with Sarah recently. It’s only normal, but having said that, you need to think for your child. Since you want to fight for her custody, you need to learn to be bold. She doesn’t have her dad around, and her mom gets drunk. She might be young, but she does yearn for love.”
His comments made Mireya blush with shame. “I… I didn’t drink because of Rodney. I met Sarah yesterday and found out something from her, so I was very annoyed.”
Ryan’s eyes became rather gentle, but he still said, ” When you’re annoyed, think about your child. She needs you. I might’ve gone too far with my words, but no one can replace a mother’s role.”
“Alright.” Mireya nodded obediently, which was unusual.
“Go and have your breakfast. I need to go to work.” After pinching Dani’s cheek, Ryan turned around and made his way to the door.
As Mireya watched him change his shoes at the door, she zoned out for a moment.
This scene was similar to Rodney heading out to work every morning when they used to live together those days.
She shuddered in spite of herself and swiftly asked, “By the way, did you see Eliza when you were in the clubhouse yesterday? Was she drunk?”
Ryan was stunned. “When I arrived, only you and Chester were there. I only went because Chester informed me about it.”
“Chester?” Mireya froze. “D*mn. Eliza seemed to have drunk a lot yesterday. Could Chester have done something to her?”
“That’s impossible. Eliza probably left earlier yesterday.” Ryan reckoned that she might be overthinking things but left after changing his shoes.
Mireya promptly called Eliza. However, it was a man who answered the call. His voice rang a bell to her.
“Eliza, someone would like to speak to you.” “Chester, why is Eliza’s phone with you?” Mireya was stupefied.
“Yeah. Her phone is with me.” Chester furtively glanced over at Eliza. “She’s having porridge on the bed.”
Having porridge on the bed…
His words made her think of something. Within a few seconds, a campy plot flashed in Mireya’s mind. Could Chester have taken advantage of Eliza while the two of them were drunk yesterday and that they just only got up?
Mireya was worried sick. “Chester, you b*stard! What have you done to Eliza?”
Her voice was so loud that Eliza heard what she said too. Could not bear with Chester anymore, Eliza extended her hand. “Chester, pass me my phone.”
“Beg me.” Chester raised his brows.
Eliza had an overwhelming urge to throw the porridge at his face there and then, but she held it in.
She must not act on impulse when dealing with people like Chester. Who knew if he would duck her head into the sink?
She did not want to go through what she did yesterday.
