The grip she could never shake off before was now surprisingly easy to break free from.
“Elijah, what are you doing here?”

The butler said… Monica wasn’t feeling well and came to the hospital. Elijah paused as he looked at Eleanor.
Eleanor frowned. It turned out Elijah didn’t know Zoey was pregnant.
In that case, she couldn’t say anything either. If something happened later, she didn’t want to be the one blamed for it.
Eleanor said, “Elijah, you’ve misunderstood. The doctor mistook me for someone else. I’m just here accompanying Monica for her check–up. I’ll head back up now.”
Elijah pulled her back. “Go wait in the car.”
Eleanor refused. “No need.”
“Walk on your own, or should I carry you? Your choice. Elijah’s expression was dark.
That wasn’t a choice at all
Eleanor knew Elijah meant what he said. Glancing at the people around them, she bit her lip and walked toward the car.
Meanwhile, Elijah turned and entered the building, dialing Nick’s number,
“Are you sure Eleanor’s pregnancy test results are real?”
“Yes… what do you mean? Are you doubting my ability?” Nick asked.
“Is there a chance they were swapped?”
“Of course not… Well, it’s not impossible,” Nick admitted. “I didn’t watch her get her blood drawn. If she switched the sample, the test wouldn’t catch it. But that’s really hard to do. Most people couldn’t pull it off. Don’t worry.”
Elijah listened in silence, a strange thought surfacing. He almost wished Eleanor did have such abilities.
If they had children, they would probably be as beautiful as her.
Nick interrupted, “Why are you asking this?”
Elijah couldn’t be bothered to explain. Clearing his throat, he asked instead, “How do you treat a threatened miscarriage?”
Nick paused, then cautiously asked, “Zoey?”
Elijah cleared his throat and replied flatly. “No.”
There was a loud crash on Nick’s end, probably his chair hitting the floor.
“Elijah, your whole mess with Eleanor just blew over, and now you’ve knocked someone else up? You

should be thanking me for being a doctor. My job is to protect patient privacy. If I were a gossip reporter. I’d have exposed all your secrets by now.”
Elijah replied calmly, “Who told you we were over?”
“I… wait… she’s pregnant? Give me a minute. Nick groaned. “She even fooled me? And I helped her get a psych evaluation!”
Nick almost screamed. He had been tricked by Eleanor.
“Speak. Elijah pulled the phone away and spoke impatiently.
“Threatened miscarriage needs rest, a good diet, and absolutely no stress,” Nick explained. “Okay.”

Nick hesitated, then asked, “So what’s your plan? Given her status… if she had admitted back then that two spent the night together, you could’ve married her under public pressure. Even your grandfather wouldn’t have objected. But she refused. Be honest with me. You went along with your grandfather’s plan to pressure her because, deep down, you actually wanted to, didn’t you?”
Nick let out a mischievous laugh.
Elijah lowered his eyes. “I’m hanging up.”
Nick quickly shouted, “You can’t keep denying it! You need to show her your strengths!”
“I already did.”
“What…” Before Nick could respond, the call ended abruptly.
On the other end of the line, Nick was completely confused. He showed her already? In what way?
After Monica’s follow–up checkup, Elijah carefully escorted her out of the building.
Once they got into the car, Monica smiled warmly. “Elijah, thank you for picking me up.”
Elijah didn’t respond, only giving a slight nod.
Finally, they arrived back at the Davis family residence.
Lily was already them arrive, she stepped forward to exchange a

“Grandpa is waiting for everyone to start dinner. Let’s head inside.
Monica and Elijah nodded and walked in.
