All Chapters of Beneath the Billionaire's Cold Heart: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

It was nighttime in City X. Eliana received a briefing about the patient she would be caring for. After working for more than a year at a small private hospital, she had been forced to look for a job elsewhere because her living expenses were becoming increasingly difficult to manage. However, instead of being assigned to a hospital, Eliana had been tasked with caring for a patient in this luxurious penthouse. The patient's identity was being kept confidential, but Eliana did not pay much attention to it. She needed money to cover her living expenses, and this job offered a fairly generous salary. "If anything happens, you can scream and leave the room immediately," a middle-aged man told her. Her duties sounded simple: prepare the food and make sure her patient ate. Carrying a tray, Eliana walked toward the patient's bedroom. She knocked before opening the door. "Excuse me, Mr. Adrian," she greeted him as she carried the food over to the man sitting motionlessly in the room. El

Charles was still in the room when Eliana returned with breakfast. Strangely, Adrian did not react the way he usually did. There were no plates thrown. No shouting. Even when Eliana placed the food on the table, the man merely glanced at her before turning his gaze elsewhere. Eliana glanced at Charles. The old man simply gave her a small nod. Charles looked at his grandson with pity. "Try eating a few bites, Adrian," he said, attempting to coax his grandson into eating. Feeling that his grandson was not entirely comfortable with several people in his bedroom, Charles and the head butler left, leaving only Eliana and Adrian in the room. Eliana pulled out a chair near the table and sat down at a reasonably safe distance from him. "If you don't like the food, I can ask the chef to make something else." There was no answer. "Even if you want something specific, perhaps I could—" "Why do you keep coming here?" Adrian's voice made Eliana fall silent. For the first time since E

Adrian clenched his fists while wrapped in the girl's embrace. Feeling the warmth of another person after such a long time, he found himself wondering. Could he still feel warmth again? Adrian did not struggle. He rested his head on Eliana's shoulder and slowly closed his eyes. Eliana held Adrian for a while before realizing that the man had fallen asleep in her arms. She chuckled softly, not wanting to wake him. She tried to stand and help him onto the bed. She laid him down on the bed. Perhaps feeling the warmth suddenly disappear, Adrian reached for Eliana's hand and gripped it tightly. "Don't go," Adrian murmured weakly, his eyes still closed. Eliana abandoned her intention to leave. She did not pull her hand away either. Instead, she sat beside the bed and gently stroked his hand to calm him. Exhausted from everything that had happened that day, she wanted to close her eyes while still holding his hand. Some time passed before Adrian's restless movements woke Eliana. Sweat

Eliana's attempts to get closer to Adrian had been going quite well. She could now enter the man's room freely without having to ask for permission.It had become a habit for her to tell Adrian all sorts of things. Whether it was about her favorite books, movies, or anything else she liked. Perhaps because she was lonely, Eliana didn't mind that he rarely responded to her stories. To her, simply having someone willing to listen was enough.That night, Eliana knocked before entering Adrian's room, carrying some snacks she had brought from the kitchen. However, when she stepped inside, she found that the man was nowhere to be seen. She walked further into the room and spotted Adrian standing on the balcony.She approached quietly, intending to surprise him, but then she noticed his vacant stare.Eliana stopped in her tracks, silently watching him.Ever since the last incident, Adrian had no longer displayed his anger as violently as before. Eliana had even begun to think that he was get
