Elliot woke up from his memories, with a few traces of nostalgia and tenderness lingering in his eyes. He lowered his head and looked at Rose, who was still unconscious on the bed, with a doting gaze.
"Rose... Why can't we just be like before? Why... why did you betray me?"
"But I still won't divorce you! Rose, you better get better soon. You can forget about getting a divorce in this lifetime because I won't agree to it!" Elliot's face was filled with pain but he had to admit that his feelings for Rose ran deep. He couldn't bear to let her go or see her hurt even though he knew she had betrayed him by having another man's child.
Elliot sat by the bed and buried his face in Rose's hands as he fell silent. Unbeknownst to him, Leah stood at the door, recording everything on her phone in excitement. She felt relieved that her dad truly loved her mom and had done so much just to keep her around.
At that moment, At this moment, Elliot's presence in Leah's heart suddenly grew stronger, and her dissatisfaction with him disappeared. She thought about all the hardships that her mom went through over the years raising three children alone overseas without their father by their side...
The girl gradually turned red-eyed as tears streamed down her face while she saved the video on her phone. Suddenly there was a tissue held out before Leah's eyes; it was Shawn who'd been following behind unnoticed all along!
Leah harbored hostility towards Shawn. She hadn't forgotten that it was Shawn's mother who had torn her mom and dad apart. According to their current statuses, they were enemies!
She glared at him, refusing to take the tissue he offered. Turning around, she headed towards her room on the other side, leaving the young boy behind.
Shawn watched as Leah disappeared into another room; sadness etched across his young features but he quickly composed himself before returning back next door.
Back in her room, Leah wiped her eyes, glanced at the video, and then pondered for a moment before sending it to Khalil, who was far away overseas.
She dare not send it to Sean. Sean already has a bias against their father, and if he sees the video and finds out that Mommy is unconscious, he will definitely hate her father even more.
She didn't want their dad to be disliked by Sean before their dad and mom reconciled.
So she sent the video to Khalil without thinking twice.
Khalil did not come back with them, but he must also be very concerned about the progress of their dad and mom.
At the same time, Leah added, "Khalil, after watching it, do you think Daddy actually loves Mommy very much? He's not pretending, he really cares about Mommy!"
Khalil, who is far away in a foreign country, also saw the video and his eyes lit up. This is exactly what he has been waiting for.
He immediately replied to Leah, "Hmm, Daddy does seem to be very concerned about Mommy."
Leah's face lit up with a sweet smile when she received the reply. She knew that Khalil must also love their father just like she does!
