Chapter 1045 Catch Her (14)

"No," the man's expression darkened and his gaze drifted away slowly. "Serena, as you call her, is my wife."

"Why didn't you recognize Serena then?" The little girl hesitated for a moment before asking with confusion.

Elliot let out a silent sigh and slowly told Leah what had happened between him and Rose.

"My wife and I were deeply in love, but one day she misunderstood me. When I chased after her to explain things, she was hit by a car and fell into the river. She couldn't be found anymore."

Leah furrowed her eyebrows slightly and asked again, "What happened later?"

"I thought she was really dead," Elliot pursed his lips together tightly before answering softly after a long pause. "But one day, she suddenly appeared in front of me again."

"Even though her appearance had changed, I was sure that she was my wife."

Leah's eyes flickered slightly with excitement that couldn't be contained inside.

The man's confident tone made her certain that he still loved her mommy despite everything.

Did this mean they still had a chance to reconcile? Although Leah hoped so deep down inside of herself, she wasn't entirely sure about it. After pondering for a moment longer, she tentatively asked him, "Do you still love her?"

Elliot's eyes darkened as he tightened his grip on the steering wheel slightly. He should have forgotten about this woman who betrayed him completely; however, when he found out that she was alive all along - there was only one thing on his mind - to keep this woman bound by his side forevermore.

He wouldn't let Rose disappear from his world ever again!

Thinking like this within himself made Elliot answer without hesitation, "I won't let my wife leave me again."

Leah's eyes lit up as she heard this. Excellent, now she and her scumbag dad had a common goal.

"I feel like Serena has a soft heart; why don't you try coaxing or cajoling her?"

Elliot froze for a moment before looking at the little girl sitting next to him with incomprehension written all over face.

"Coaxing?"

The little girl nodded eagerly before proudly stating, "Yes, If you coax Serena then maybe Serena will stay by your side!"

...

Half an hour later... Elliot appeared alongside Leah in Rose's hospital room.

Rose who sat on the bed lost in thought saw them come through doorways causing surprise etched across her features...

Leah appeared here? Shouldn't she be safe with Sean at Valentin's house right now?

As soon as Leah walked into the hospital room, she noticed her mom's expression and immediately spoke up.

"Serena, how are you feeling now? Are you feeling better?"

"Uncle Elliot said you were injured, I was worried about you so I came with Uncle Elliot."

... She knew that with Leah's personality, she would never stay put.
