Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 1153

Chapter 1153 Clear the Misunderstanding (2)

"Mr. Harper." The assistant's voice suddenly interrupted Elliot before he could finish his sentence. He choked and met Rose's questioning gaze.

Rose didn't hear what he was going to say, as a flash of light quickly appeared and disappeared in her mind. She couldn't catch it in time, making her even more confused. "What?"

Madeleine walked in behind the assistant, interrupting their eye contact.

Upon seeing Rose here, Madeleine's face changed instantly before forcing herself to calm down. "Elliot, I haven't seen Shawn these past few days and I don't know how he's doing. Can I go see him and take him out for some fun?"

She asked with a hint of humility that was unlike her previous arrogance. Rose quietly scanned Madeleine's face before looking away.

Elliot impatiently frowned at Madeleine while saying sternly, "He is doing just fine without you bothering him."

Without even looking at Madeleine again after speaking those words, Elliot warned expressionlessly, "I've told you not to disturb him anymore. After all, he is my son."

After hearing his last sentence, Madeleine turned pale instantly as she bit her lip while taking a step back unsteadily - knowing that Elliot knew everything now.

She had been hiding it for so long!

He knew! He had always known!

"Alright then, just go," said Elliot who lowered his head to look back at the file that he hadn't finished reading earlier on.

However, his words were interrupted by Madeleine who pleaded with him, "Elliot... I want to see my child! Please let me see Shawn? Just once? Please... I have cancer."

As soon as she mentioned cancer, everyone in the office went silent including Rose who looked up surprised, wondering if it was true or not.

Did Madeleine really have cancer?

When she looked over at Elliot, she saw surprise written all over his face, which meant that he wasn't aware of this either.

"What?" asked an unhappy-looking Elliot.

"I got my report from the hospital today; it's lung cancer which has progressed into its later stages due to my poor lungs previously being unhealthy," explained Madeleine sadly while pleading with tears running down her face, "So please, let me take Shawn out for some fun... I owe him so much."

Madeleine spoke sorrowfully yet pitifully; her delicate makeup covered face full of disappointment mixed with hopefulness.

Rose squeezed her phone tightly before lowering her head once again - this time unable to focus on whatever video played on the screen no matter how hard she tried..

Madeleine's sudden announcement left everyone feeling a bit dazed. Rose and Elliot were both taken aback.

"Is that okay?" Madeleine asked, looking at him with tearful eyes. "I'm begging you this one last time. After this, the child will need you to take good care of them."

Elliot didn't refuse; after all, Madeleine was the mother of the child, and he had no reason or right to deprive her of her rights.

Madeleine left happily, her back seeming to radiate joy.

Rose blinked in surprise and disbelief. The office was silent for a while before she spoke up, "What did you want to say just now?"
