Tangled Temptations

Chapter 26

The next afternoon, Eloise got discharged from the hospital. She held her phone tightly, debating whether to call Harvey or send him a message to say thanks.

After a bit of hesitation, she decided to ditch the idea altogether.

Eloise completed the discharge procedures, grabbed her luggage to head home first, and then planned to return to the Crescendo Sound Workshop later that afternoon to get back to work.

As she walked out of the inpatient department, she bumped into some familiar faces at the entrance. It was Max's mother, Aliza, and his sister, Olga.

They were carrying bags full of imported fruits, talking while walking, seemingly on their way to visit Orlena. Seeing Eloise, everyone felt a bit awkward.

Eloise gave them a slight nod, ready to leave. Aliza stopped her, speaking kindly, "Eloise, I have something to tell you."

Olga tugged at Aliza's sleeve, whining, "Mom, Max already broke up with her! What's there to talk about?"

Aliza was very shrewd, knowing everything about her son's affairs. What she wanted now was to keep Eloise away from Max to avoid ruining his happiness.
