"Who are you going to eat it with? The people who arranged a birthday surprise for you?" Maurice
asked coldly.
How could she leave him alone for the second time for the sake of the same people? Eliana nodded
without hesitation.
"Yes, of course! I want to eat my birthday cake with the people who are very important to me."
"Is it your boyfriend?" Maurice gritted his teeth.
"Yes, they are my little lovers!"
She did not notice his anger at all.She quickly picked up some of the frosting from the cake and was
about to smear it on his handsome face.
But Maurice easily dodged her sneaky attack.He then held her hand tightly.
Since Eliana could not free herself from his grasp, she pounced on him.
Maurice subconsciously wrapped his arms around her waist, and the frosting was smeared on the tip of
his nose.
Seeing that, Eliana burst into laughter.
Sneering at her, Maurice leaned closer.
But Eliana noticed that the frosting from his nose was about to touch her face, so she screamed and
pushed him away.
Maurice rarely ever saw such a lively side of her, which made him smile.
"Ouch!"
But then she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her ankle, staggered, and was about to fall down.
Maurice quickly pulled her into his arms and asked, "What’s wrong?"
"My foot is hurting." Eliana frowned.
"I sprained my ankle when I was at work."
‘In the golf course? Why hasn’t she recovered yet?’
"I’ll take you to the hospital."
"No!" Eliana hastily stopped him.
"Hospitals are too expensive!"
"How poor is she?’, Maurice snickered.
‘Didn’t Gerald pay her?’ Thinking that, he suddenly leaned forward and carried her in his arms.
"It will cost you a lot more if you delay treating such injuries."
Hearing that, Eliana felt that his words did make sense.
In the hospital.
The doctor examined her foot and said that her bones were slightly dislocated, and that she would
have to get treatment.
Eliana glared at the doctor, wanting to refuse.
"Will it hurt? If it’s going to hurt, then I don’t want it!" The doctor frowned disapprovingly.
"You will have to endure the pain.If you don’t get it treated right away, then you might not be able to
walk well in the future." Eliana shook her head.
She did not want pretend like she was overreacting, but in reality, she was really afraid of pain.
Seeing that, the doctor became a little impatient, turned to Maurice, raised her hand, and said, "Don’t
just stand there.Come and hold your wife’s leg, and do not let her move."
Eliana retorted hastily, "I’m not his wife!"
It was true that she was not his wife, but he was the father of her children.
"Oh, so you’re still boyfriend and girlfriend?" the doctor asked.
Glancing at Preston, Eliana answered, "No… Not really."
"Then what’s your relationship?"
The doctor tried to distract her by asking her casual questions while she swiftly moved her hands to
treat her.Eliana subconsciously tried to move her leg away from the doctor, but Maurice held it firmly.
"Sit tight," he said coldly.
She had nowhere to go, so she buried her face in his arms.
He felt her delicate face rubbing against his chest under his shirt, which caused him to stiffen
subconsciously.
When she pinched his arm, he felt her body trembling.
The doctor quickly finished setting her bone.
"All right.Take rest, and don’t strain yourself too much."
”Thank you."
Eliana breathed a sigh of relief, brushing away the sweat on her forehead.She then gently moved her
ankle.
The doctor looked at her with a smile.
"Are you that afraid of pain? How are you going to give birth to children?"
A long time later, Eliana said, "I won’t give birth to kids."
Deep down, she thought that Aileen and Adrian were enough for her.
