My Three Darlings

Chapter 244

Eliza held her phone, wanting to ask more questions about her mother, but Luca didn’t reply. The message she sent was like stone sinking into the sea. Taking a deep breath, she bit her lips and closed her eyes. “Mrs. Valentine, look, the fireworks!” All of a sudden, the car stopped, and Noah’s surprised voice rang in her ears. Eliza raised her head. The fireworks were set off on the side of the road. Numerous fireworks covered the whole city. It was as if the person who set off the fireworks wanted the person in his heart to see it. Her ears were filled with the earsplitting sound of fireworks, and the whole Sage City seemed to be celebrating the New Year. Eliza watched the fireworks for a while before turning around to look at Noah. “Why aren’t you driving?” “We’re stuck.” Noah pointed at the traffic in front of them that was congested. “We’re in a traffic jam.” Eliza paused for a moment before remembering that the path from the hotel to the villa was just the way to the seaside. So, the cars in front of them were probably stuck in a traffic jam on their way to the beach, right? Thinking of this, she looked back. Although there were also a lot of cars at the back, they were much fewer than the front. Eliza hesitated for a moment. “Noah, go to the Central Hospital.” Noah was stunned. “Why are we going there?” In the evening, he asked Mr. and Mrs. Valentine to go to the hospital to treat their allergy. No one paid attention to him. The doctors were probably off duty at such hour, weren’t they? “I’d like to go and see my mom.” Eliza closed her eyes, instinctively feeling that the fireworks had something to do with her mother. When the car arrived at the hospital, it was already past eight o’clock in the evening. After Eliza got out of the car, she directly opened the door and rushed upstairs. Outside Shreya’s ward on the top floor, the bodyguard reached out and tried to stop her. “Miss, without Sergey’s permission, you can’t…” Eliza curled her lips, grabbed the bodyguard’s arm, and gave him a hard twist Following the cries of the bodyguard, Eliza pushed open the door of Shreya’s ward. The ward was silent. There was no light in the room. The woman was lying quietly on the bed. In the sky outside the window, the fine fireworks reflected off her thin face. She closed her eyes quietly, as if she was asleep. Eliza bit her lips and slowly walked over. She sat down beside the woman. “Ms. Shreya.” She reached out and grabbed Shreya’s cold hand on the bed. “I am not sure if I am your daughter or not now.” “But everyone said I am, and I think so too.”

“So, I’ll just take you as my mother.” After that, she sighed and turned to look at the sky outside the window. The fireworks in the sky almost turned the night into daylight. “If I’m not mistaken, this fireworks show is meant for you, right?” Eliza sighed. “According to my father, Luca, my biological father died before I was born.” “It has been many years.” “If someone really did prepare the fireworks for you, and he would like to… If you wake up, I will definitely support you.” “What a pity…” Eliza held Shreya’s hand. “Get up as soon as you can.” The fireworks continued until dawn. D Eliza was also in the hospital until early in the morning the next day while holding Shreya’s hand. During this period, she kept talking to Shreya about her experience in the past few years and the interesting and boring things that she had experienced since childhood. It was as if she wanted to tell her mother everything she had accumulated over the years before the fireworks ended. At the end of the fireworks show in the early morning, Eliza let go of Shreya’s hand. She sighed and glanced at Shreya’s eyes and brows again. “Ms. Shreya, please get better soon.” After that, Eliza turned and left. Eliza did not notice that at the moment she left, the woman lying on the bed shed a tear. After leaving the ward, Eliza took a deep breath. Just as she was about to turn around and walk towards the elevator, a figure hugged her from behind. She wanted to resist at first.

The moment her hands turned into fists, she felt the familiar aura behind her. “Honey?” The man behind her buried his head in her neck and could not help laughing in a low voice. “You know it’s me even without turning around?” His low voice and warm breath blew on her neck. “You are my husband. Of course I know it is you.” Eliza’s face was burning hot. She bit her lip and gently held Beau’s hand. “When did you get here?” “I’ve been here for a long time.”

Beau hugged her with a chuckle. “I came to see you after the party.” Eliza paused slightly. “When did the party end?” “At nine o’clock.” Her breathing stopped for a moment. It was already twelve o’clock in the morning. After the party ended at nine o’clock, Beau had arrived here. He… was waiting for her outside the ward for more than three hours? 1 Eliza bit her lips, pulled his hand away, and turned her head to look at him. In the dim light of the corridor, her eyes were sparkling. “Why didn’t you tell me you’re here?” If she knew, she would not have let him wait for so long outside. Beau smiled and said, “I don’t want to

bother you and mother-in-law.” After that, he raised his hand and rubbed her head. “Since you’re done talking, shall we go home now?” Eliza pursed her lips and nodded. “All right.” On the way back, Eliza looked at the people dressed in black shirts cleaning up the fireworks on the streets of the city. She frowned slightly. “Honey, do you know who was the one who set off the fireworks today?” She could guess from Luca’s post that the person who set off the fireworks should be Shreya’s old friend. But… She had never heard from Sergey that anyone was pursuing Shreya. “I know.” Beau looked faintly ahead. “It’s a… person who disappeared for many years.” Eliza turned around and looked at him. “You know him?” “Sort of.” He raised his hand and gently rubbed Eliza’s head. “You’ll find out in the future.” 2 “For the time being, I can’t explain it to you clearly.” Eliza furrowed her brows and gave him a confused look but she didn’t ask anything more again. At the same time It was silent in the living room of the the Chapman villa. Sergey hurriedly went upstairs and knocked on Joye’s door. Joye, who hadn’t fallen asleep all night because of the fireworks, opened the door in her pajamas. “It’s so late. Can’t you let me sleep?” Sergey looked serious. “Miss Chapman, someone wants to see you.” Joye rolled her eyes impatiently. “Who wants to see me at such a late hour?” “I’m Miss Chapman. Can’t the person wait until tomorrow if he wants to see me?” It was already past 12 at midnight! “I’m… I’m afraid it won’t work.” Sergey frowned and said, “The person who wants to see you is the former Master of the Chapman family.” “Your biological father.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
