Tangled Temptations

Chapter 180

In the white hospital room, Eloise was lying in silence, with the doctor appearing helpless. "Miss Michelle, your daughter is physically fine, but she seems to be subconsciously refusing to wake up, so all we can do is wait."

Veronica was supporting Michelle. Michelle was in a panic. "So there's no other treatment?"

The doctor shook his head. He hesitated for a moment, then added, "The patient has been emotionally unstable recently; maybe it's not a bad idea to let her rest."

Michelle was somewhat confused, her heart still hanging in the air. Veronica was also worried, but she tried to reassure Michelle, "It should be fine. Let's just let Eloise sleep for a day or two."

Michelle nodded in agreement, tears in her eyes. She fetched a basin of warm water, silently wiping Eloise's hands.

Veronica looked at those slender fingers, her eyes reddening. Michelle didn't know yet that Eloise would never be a pianist again!

Wiping away a tear, Veronica saw Riley approaching with a prescription. He spoke in a low voice, "Why are you crying? Eloise is just sleeping here. Don't be upset, okay?"

Veronica gave him a look. "I can't help it."

Riley hugged her. He didn't tell her that he had just seen Gunner in the pharmacy. Gunner was accompanying Ravenna for a prenatal checkup, their sweet couple scene making Riley feel uncomfortable. But it was also a good thing. If Gunner hadn't left Veronica, he wouldn't have had a chance to be with her.

Riley comforted Michelle with a few words. Michelle knew he was Callum's cousin and felt a little awkward.

Just then, footsteps sounded at the door.

Griffin and Diana were here, their faces not looking good; especially Diana, she was full of worry because Joan had been detained.
