Free Web NovelChapter 1291: Chapter 1290: Flaws
Everything has its pros and cons.
Doing this is unfair to Eva Nightingale and Lucas Knight!
Lucas Knight stood outside the hospital room, listening to the conversation between the mother and daughter.
Inside the hospital room.
Eva paused, looking seriously at Eliana Beckett: "Mommy, if... I mean if I have someone I want to date, would you support me?"
Eva wanted to mention the Imperial Crown Prince.
But in the end? She couldn’t get the words out!
"Who?" Eliana seemed very interested.
"Lucas Knight." She didn’t hide it, speaking openly, thinking that since Jasmine Green knew, and Liam Coldwell knew, this matter couldn’t be hidden for long. Might as well be honest with Eliana, right?
"Ridiculous!!!"
Eliana put down the bowl of congee, instantly angry: "Eva, even though the Imperial President has a high status, our Eastern Europe has always been at odds with the Sovereign Empire. Your incident back then is inseparable from him, and I hope you stop this absurd idea!"
"Mom, what are you talking about?" What incident?
As expected, Eliana also knew about the events of that year!
Uncle knew, Eliana knew.
But they all kept it from her without saying a word!
Eva wasn’t interested before, but now she was very curious to know about her past entanglements.
"Nothing... nothing, you misheard, it’s nothing..." Eliana realized she slipped up, damn it!
Damn it!
How could she say it out loud in a moment of excitement?
"Mom... I want to eat osmanthus cake." Eva knew there was definitely something wrong, and didn’t want Eliana to keep nagging at her, so, "Mom, can you buy me some, please?"
"Mom will go home and make it for you personally!"
"Thanks, Mom."
Eliana was so good to her, providing her with food, clothes, luxury items, even insanely expensive auction items, but why hide things from her?
"Eva, Mom will go home and make osmanthus cake for you?"
"Yeah, go ahead, I’ll just have the congee myself," Eva said.
...
After Eliana left.
She lay there alone, attached to the IV, so her movements were limited.
Perhaps due to excessive bleeding, she felt completely powerless!
Eva picked up her phone, turned it on, and saw countless missed calls.
All from Lucas Knight.
She hesitated for a moment, then called back, trying to sound as well as she could: "Hubby dear, did you miss me?"
Over the phone, Lucas paused: "Are you okay!"
"I’m fine!" she said, "I might take a few days before I come back. There’s something going on at home today, so I was busy and missed your calls."
She didn’t want Lucas to know that she was sick and in the hospital!
Moreover, she hesitated: "I... I’m not pregnant! Those two lines that day must have been a mistake... so, sorry..."
She paused: "With Jasmine and Ivy already so big, it’s definitely not a problem on your end."
"So, after being together for so long and still not getting pregnant, the problem must be with me!"
Eva felt it was due to her own physical issues.
To think that day she was happily thinking she hit the jackpot!
Get lost!
It wasn’t hitting the jackpot at all!
It was obviously just her period coming, wasn’t it!
She almost lost her life because of it!
"Honey!" Lucas’s voice turned cold. He didn’t know, she was afraid he’d worry, so she lied about being busy instead of saying she was ill.
For some reason.
This Eva Bennett surprised him a bit.
Deep down, he felt a sharp pang, a feeling of heartache.
