Tangled Temptations

Chapter 181

All the experts Harvey had brought in were stumped by Eloise's condition. In the end, it was Eloise herself who woke up.

It was a beautiful spring night.

After his discussion with several experts, Harvey had just reached the door of the ward when he heard Eloise's voice. Weak as it was, it was unmistakably her voice.

His heart skipped a beat. He had never been so desperate to see someone. He hurriedly took a few steps, gently pushing the door open.

Eloise was sitting up in bed, talking to Michelle. She was thinner, her brown hair spread over her shoulders, looking pitiful. Upon seeing Harvey, the smile on her face faded.

The atmosphere became a bit awkward.

Michelle stood up uncomfortably and said, "You two talk!"

But Eloise gently tugged at her sleeve, whispering, "Mom, I want to have some food!"

Michelle said lovingly, "I'll go get you something! Wait for me."

Harvey slowly walked into the ward, standing beside Eloise. Even though he was so close, he didn't dare to touch her. He felt a bit nervous, realizing that was how he felt at the moment.

Eloise calmly said to him, "I heard you found a doctor for me, thank you, Attorney Horigan."

"You're welcome." Harvey stared at her greedily, his voice hoarse almost beyond recognition.

Eloise was looking at him too. Then she slowly said, "Actually, there's really no need for all this between us. You don't have to take what Veronica said to hear. It's all in the past. From the moment we broke up, none of this matters to you anymore."

Harvey was a lawyer, a top-notch one. He was sharp-tongued in court, but at this moment, he didn't know what to say. He had broken up with Eloise, thinking he had done it in a dignified way, but in reality, he had caused her pain.

Harvey left the ward. He didn't leave the hospital, and just sat in his golden Bentley, quietly smoking.
