Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 375

Chapter 375 Comeback

Anastasia looked up and caught his gaze before lowering her head in panic. The nicer he was to her son, the more powerless she was to reject him.

After dinner, Anastasia poured out a glass of water for him and took the opportunity to thank Elliot. “Thank you for hiring the lawyer.”

Her kidnapping case this time had involved the help of his lawyer.

“The police are gathering evidence; as soon as they can be convicted, I won’t go easy on them.” There was a cold gleam in Elliot’s eyes.

“If you want to investigate your kidnapping case years ago, and if you need my dad’s help, you can just call him to ask. He’ll cooperate.”

“Okay!” Elliot nodded.

“Here, take your medicine!” Anastasia urged.

Elliot opened the plastic bag. There were a few bottles inside, and when he counted the pills, he had to take around eight of them in one go.

Anastasia was stunned. Why did he have so many pills to take?

“Is this prescription from a reputable doctor?” Anastasia frowned as she asked, worried that he had gone to the wrong doctor.

Elliot felt warmth in his heart, for her momentary concern did not escape his notice. He shook the pills onto his palm and swallowed them in one go.

Time ticked by, and after Anastasia bathed her son, she emerged to see the man already asleep on the couch.

He sat on the extended side of the couch, his head on the back of the couch as he closed his eyes and slept soundly.

“Shh, please keep quiet, Mommy. Don’t disturb Mr. Presgrave in his sleep.” The little guy immediately put a finger to his lips as he spoke.

Anastasia thought that it was quite late already, and he simply had to be woken up so that Rey could take him home later.

“You can go back to your room and sleep first,” Anastasia whispered.

The little guy went to bed as he was told. Then, Anastasia walked up to Elliot. The man was in a deep sleep, for he would usually sense if she went near him. Now, he slept as if he had lost all consciousness.

Could it be that his medicine was putting him to sleep?

Anastasia couldn’t help but make a call to Rey.
