Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 542

Ella closed her eyes and heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank God! It's good that you are alone."

Eddy knitted his brows, looking at the girl in confusion.

Ella shook her head and sat on the bed beside Eddy. "Daddy has changed a lot ever since he came back. He doesn't let me come to your house or see you. I had to wait for him to fall asleep before sneaking out. I'll be leaving soon."

Eddy nodded in understanding.

Although he was happy that the little girl had come to see him, he couldn't understand what was going on.

Ella took a candy wrapped in colorful paper from her pocket and waved at him. "Eddy, look. I have bought you a candy. Isn't it beautiful? I love heart-shaped ones."

The boy nodded, wondering what this was all about.

"This is one of my favorite candies. It is yummy and tastes very sweet." She smiled and placed the candy on his hand. "You can have this after you take your medicine so that it doesn't taste bitter."

Ella stole a glance at the door before leaning closer and whispering into his ear, "Daddy might wake up any time. He will scold me if I'm not there, so I will have to leave now."

Eddy lowered his head, feeling disappointed.

He didn't expect her to leave so soon.

"Don't worry. If my father doesn't find out that I have come to see you, I will manage to come and see you again when he is asleep. The hospital is far from here. The driver charged a lot of money to drop me here." She pouted. "I spent all my pocket money that I have tried hard to save up. I don't know how long it might take to save it again. It breaks my heart to think about it."

Colin was admitted to a different hospital. Eddy didn't think that she would come in a taxi on her own.

Ella wasn't even five years old yet, and she looked like a delicate doll.

Eddy broke into a cold sweat as he wondered what might happen to her if she met dangerous guys.

"Ella, you should listen to your father. You shouldn't have come here without his knowledge. What if you met bad guys on your way? Everyone would end up worrying about you," Eddy reprimanded her.

"I just wanted to see you. Why are you mad at me?" Ella whined, looking at the ground.

The boy sighed and explained in a calm voice, "Ella, I am really happy that you have come to see me. I was worried that you had forgotten me. But I want you to promise that you will listen to your father from now on. You can come and see me only if he allows you."

"What if Daddy doesn't allow me to see you?" she asked, frowning.

"In that case, I will come to see you when I get better," Eddy replied.

Ella's heart sank. She wanted to cry and throw a tantrum, but the intensity of Eddy's gaze stopped her from making a fuss.

She couldn't understand why her father didn't allow her to see Eddy, and why the boy was stopping her from visiting him as well.

"Eddy, did I do something wrong? You all hate me and don't want me around anymore." Tears welled up in her eyes.
