In the hospital
The lights in Eloise's ward were still. She couldn't sleep, standing by the window and looking at the night view.
She felt alone whenever Finnley wasn't around.
Only when he was with her could Eloise feel that time flied and life was meaningful.
"Eloise, it's late, you should go to bed..." Madeline felt sorry seeing her like this.
Eloise asked, "Mom, Mya is staying in the Russell family with him tonight. Do you think they will sleep together?"
Why was she thinking about this?
They were getting married, it was only normal.
"Eloise," Madeline walked over, held her shoulder and comforted her softly, "Since you have chosen to bless them, you should let it go. This is good for the both of you."
Eloise knew it, of course.
If she chose to bless then, they would keep visiting her and Finnley would stop avoiding her.
"Mom, Finnley cares about me only because he feels obliged to. He doesn't love me..." Eloise was clear about it. "I get sad every time I think of it..."
Madeline knew how she felt. She had loved him for twenty years and got no love back from him.
She must feel really lost.
At the last moments of her life, she had to force herself to bless them, in exchange for him to come see her for a few more times, only Eloise herself could understand how painful it was.
At night, in the new house Finnley had bought in Arkpool. In the huge courtyard, the staff were working overtime to decorate the wedding scene.
The romantic atmosphere was already in the air, Finnley had hired the best wedding planning team.
Although the time was a little short, the wedding was carefully planned.
In the villa on the Platanus Road, at 11 p. m.
Downstairs on the living room sofa, Catherine had just had two apples and she felt much better in her stomach.
