Aiden nodded his head and conducted a few more checks on her. All her vitals seemed to be perfectly fine. Then he turned to look at Shane. "Now that she has woken up, she is completely fine.” "Thank you, Dr. Maxwell. Thank you so much," Shane said, after breathing another sigh of relief. The young miss was okay now and he can finally think of a way to tell Damien about what happened.“Um……excuse me.” Eva finally said, making both Aiden, Shane and the nurse look at her. "Since I'm okay now, then can you get this stuff out of me and can I take my leave?” Eva asked pointed to the drip connected to her hand with her other free hand.Aiden raised a brow at Eva. For some reason, he got a vibe that Eva isn't someone he expected her to be.“Miss Eva, I think you should still remain in the hospital so that you can still be monitored in case you develop some other symptoms.” Shane told her. Even though Aiden said she is fine he wanted her to be perfectly fine because if she isn't he might lose
Since Tasha is still the only maid, Eva knows her face very well. Mr. Lee had sent Tasha to go and deliver the food to Eva at the hospital. In the afternoon, Aiden walked into Eva's ward to check up on her again. Tasha was no longer in the ward with Eva since she had quickly gone back to the mansion to get a change of clothes for Eva and lunch. Eva's eyes were on Aiden all throughout as he was checking her again. First, she was staring at his handsome face, though Damien was a lot more mesmerizing and handsome than him. Secondly, she didn't know why but she was trying to figure something out of him. “Do you have something to say to me or are you captivated by my handsome face?" Aiden finally asked, when he noticed Eva's gaze. He was expecting Eva to quickly avert her gaze when he caught her staring just like every other woman would, but to his surprise she kept her gaze on him. “Tsk, don’t flatter yourself, doctor. I've seen a lot of men that are more handsome than you.” Eva click
" I know that. I'm asking you what happened to her?” Damien replied. The security team had already told him Eva was already back to the mansion but they had no idea what happened to her. "According to what I heard, Miss Eva lost consciousness when she was eating dinner and when she was rushed to the hospital, Mr. Aiden told us that she had fainted because she had eaten something she was allergic to. But she is fine now.” Shane explained and made sure to add the last part as well. "Aiden?” Damien asked with a small frown on his face. He wasn't aware that he was back in the country. " Yes, I asked Mr. Aiden to be the one to treat Miss Eva since it was ACE HOSPITAL Old Lee had taken her to when she lost consciousness.” Shane replied again. “Oh, and I had to tell Mr. Aiden who Miss Eva is to you, Boss." He added, so that it won't be a surprise for Damien if Aiden asked him about it. “I see. That nosy person is bound to know about her in the first place.” Damien told Shane who let out
“Yeah, I can't just wait to finish this exam and get out of this house.” Lucien muttered silently to himself but didn't realize that his voice was loud enough for Eva to hear him. “Do you have a college you want to attend in mind after the exam?" Eva suddenly asked, making Lucien turn his attention back to the phone call with his sister. “Not yet, but I would definitely pick a school as far as possible." He replied, and Eva could hear the desperation to leave in his voice. “Lucien, I'm sorry.” Eva suddenly apologized which made Lucien raise his brow at her. “What are you sorry for?" He questioned in confusion. “I'm sorry, I should have stayed with you but I can't any longer. I know I left you alone with them and you have to go through series of stuff by yourself without anyone by-" “You've done enough for me already, big sis. All your life you've been sacrificing for people and including me. It's time to free yourself from some burden and live your life. I can handle something
When she stepped out of the room she saw the two hefty bodyguards standing outside the door and her brow instinctively raised."Good evening, ma’am!" They both greeted her with a bow.." Please, get Mr. Lee and tell him that I want to go out.” Eva instructed as she made her way to the elevator taking her to the first floor. On her way she noticed one of the bodyguards following behind her but she said nothing and let him continue doing his work.‘That Old man has become a lot more cautious ever since I arrived.’ she thought to herself. Even though it was a bit much she still liked the way old Lee was taking care of her. “Mister, can you tell the driver as well to prepare a car for me." Eva turned to look at the bodyguard behind her when she walked out of the elevator. Even though he had a cold and expressionless face, Eva knew that he was hesitating to leave her alone.“Don't worry, I won't disappear into thin air. I will patiently wait for Mr. Lee to come and meet me here.” She rem
The feeling was totally different compared to the one she felt for Mark. At the time, it has been nurtured over the years and had been borne from their supposed lifetime together. There was an irrational sense of relief bubbling through her at the thought that she’s quickly moving on from him.‘No, you're wrong. I'm his wife now. And even though I haven't healed completely. I have been taking too much time and using my broken heart as an excuse to not move. Rather than waiting for the time to heal completely, I will become the vengeful woman they branded me with to heal.’"Young Miss, are you alright?" The driver gently asked upon seeing her ghostly complexion in the rearview mirror.Eva's usual snow kin had turned even more translucent, almost resembling a piece of paper.The voice of the driver brought her back to reality as she took in an unsteady breath of air to calm herself. "Y-yes, I’m fine. Thank you." She briefly said, looking out the window once again.She blinked and chided
Matthew slammed his hand onto the table, the water on his cup swishing from the momentum.He glared at his daughter with so much intensity, one would think she killed his firstborn. "It seems I haven’t disciplined you well enough. To talk back to your father and even dare to interrupt me, it seems you haven’t learned your lesson.""I’ve raised a brat like you for twenty-three years, and this is what I get in return? A disappointment of a daughter and a failure of a woman. No wonder you were abandoned by your fiance. Disrespectful and rude, you sure have a lot of guts." He seethed, each word going through one of Eva's ears and out the next.She looked at him, bored. "I’m glad you know. And as for my fiance, it's not my fault he doesn't have a jewelry maker's eyes, if not he would have been able to see the hidden gem in me. Something you are too blind to see as well,my father.." She said, crossing her arms. Despite the prickling pain in her heart, her face remained haughty and passive-a
Lawrence noticed how sullen and upset his prized granddaughter had become. Her shoulders were slightly hunched over and with the dim lighting, she looked pale and lonely. Despite the fact that she was surrounded by people, the more he looked at her, the more he realized how depressing this dinner was.He knew he should’ve warned her in advance that her family would be at the table, but he knew she would immediately refuse to come.He hadn’t seen her in a couple of days and after she went to deliver the file to Cross Enterprise and he wanted to personally see how she was doing.He couldn’t help but sigh at how ironic this situation was.Whenever any of his children or grandchildren yearned for his attention and acknowledgment, he didn’t spare them a second glance. But when it came to this specific granddaughter, he was the one who was always initiating for her to come to him.She rarely visited him and he knew it was because she was fearful of appearing too clingy. In fact he was even
