Tangled Temptations

Chapter 136

Eloise gently closed her eyes. A wave of severe pain hit her abdomen again. In the midst of that pain, she seemed to hear something shattering.

Looking back, she guessed that was probably the sound of her heart being smashed to pieces.

She adjusted her body. Her gaze was hazy, but full of determination. She said, "Harvey, just leave."

The Griffin Lynch couple expressed their deep gratitude to her, saying to Eloise, "Thanks for being so understanding. You're really a lifesaver."

As Harvey got up to leave, he took off his coat and gave it to Eloise. When that warm coat was placed over Eloise, she suddenly pushed it away.

Harvey was taken aback.

Eloise said softly, "I don't need it."

He chose to be with Joan and left only a piece of clothing. What was that supposed to mean?

Harvey had a temper, and when Eloise publicly rejected him, he was clearly unhappy and his tone became a little stiff, "I'll drive you home later."

Eloise didn't respond to him.

Then it was Eloise's turn at the hospital. She didn't look at him as she got up and left. Her pride wouldn't allow her to beg him anymore. There were so many men in the world. Maybe 99.99% of them were not as good as him, but so what?

What a woman really needed was a man who put her first. No matter how good he was, what was the use if he was always thinking about others?

Eloise, holding herself together, made her way to the examination room, step by painful step.

Harvey stood there, his face not looking so good.

Diana gently urged him, "Harvey, let's go check on Joan."

Griffin hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he took Harvey to the ward.
