Tangled Temptations

Chapter 299

Eloise hurried to the nursery.

Darrien was sick, running a high fever of 102 degrees. His tiny face was flushed. Eloise was heartbroken. She quickly changed into a different outfit and ordered the housekeeper, "Prepare the car,. We need to go to the hospital immediately."

She was a little panicked. Harvey took her hand. "It will take at least half an hour for the chauffeur to arrive. I'll drive you."

With that, he picked up Darrien. He was tall and strong, holding the child with ease. Eloise quickly followed him.

The night was cool and crisp.

Eloise opened the rear car door and got in. Harvey carefully handed Darrien to her. Their eyes met as she looked up.

Harvey whispered, "Eloise, no matter how disappointed you are in me. Linda and Darrien are my children. I can't be indifferent to them."

Eloise's eyes welled up with tears, but she didn't say anything. She thought, at least at times like this, they couldn't argue.

The black car sped through the night. Half an hour later, they arrived at the hospital.

After an examination, it was found that Darrien had acute pneumonia. It wasn't serious, but he would need to be hospitalized for a week.

Darrien had to be put on an IV, and the ordeal made Darrien cry until his face turned red. Eloise was in agony.

Late into the night, Darrien's temperature finally dropped to 38 degrees. Eloise sat by the hospital bed, gently stroking Darrien's chubby cheek. She felt guilty. The stress of moving had not been good for Darrien's health.

Harvey stood by the window, silently watching Eloise. Previously, he had looked at her from a man's perspective, but now Eloise was a young mother, and her focus was on their child. She seemed so vulnerable.

Harvey couldn't help but walk over. He gently stroked Eloise's long hair, resting her head against his chest. Perhaps she was too tired, but Eloise didn't resist. She even closed her eyes.

However, such intimacy lasted only a few seconds, and she quickly pushed him away.

Harvey hoarsely said, "You sleep a little. I'll watch Darrien."

Eloise nodded, but how could she sleep? She went to the bathroom and soaked a hot towel, gently wiping Darrien's small body. After she was done, she went to wash the towel.

Harvey stood behind her, asking softly, "How did we get along before?"
