The Don's Orphan Wife Is A Mafia Empire Princess (Elara) novel Chapter 79

Chapter 69 Maybe I Was Too Harsh

“Get ready; everything is arranged for you overseas, and you can go whenever you’re ready.”

The teacher reminded Evelyn about her plans to go abroad.

Evelyn nodded.

“Okay, professor, I understand. Don’t worry; I’ve got it all under control.”

Her mentor didn’t offer any more advice. Since Evelyn had already made up her mind, he trusted that she would make the right

choice.

She was his most prideful student.

“Well then, you should head back and get some rest; we’ll talk about the rest later.”

Evelyn had no objections and watched as her teacher’s car drove away.

Meanwhile…

Hospital.

“I don’t care! I’m not staying in this hospital any longer. I want to see my mom!”

William Miller sat on his hospital bed, crying and throwing everything on the table to the floor.

Ethan Miller stood by the bedside, his expression dark, watching William’s tantrum with cold eyes.

“William Miller, I advise you to calm down. Your mother isn’t here.”

Fuming, William thought of the one responsible for his injury and hurled a pillow at Ethan.

“It’s all your fault! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have gotten hurt!”

Leah Foster’s eyes flashed with a mix of anger and shock, and when Ethan glanced her way, tears immediately fell. “Ethan, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean for this to happen. I just heard William say he was hungry, so I went to get him something to eat. Who knew… who knew… that when I came back, he’d already fallen?”

“I know it’s all my fault, and there’s nothing I can do to fix it, but I really didn’t intend for this to happen.”

Ethan Miller rubbed his temples in frustration, feeling that Leah Foster was unexpectedly troublesome.

It was just a matter of watching William for a while; how could she not even manage that?

Ethan Miller was feeling awful, but William Miller was feeling worse, his physical pain compounded by inner turmoil. Since returning from Evelyn’s house that day, he had grown increasingly uncomfortable with the meals at home. Leah Foster always brought him various snacks, but the doctor had repeatedly warned him not to eat them. In the past, Evelyn would cook him delicious meals in all sorts of ways, and William had been in great health. But recently, he felt very hungry, couldn’t eat anything, and now he was injured, leaving him utterly miserable. Seeing that Ethan Miller wasn’t going to intercede on her behalf, Leah Foster felt a surge of panic.

What was wrong with Ethan? In the past, he would have defended her by now.

What had changed? Why was he so indifferent?

Since Ethan Miller couldn’t be relied upon, Leah Foster could only place her hope in William Miller.

She approached him cautiously and spoke softly.

“William, Auntie really didn’t mean it. Please forgive me; I promise it won’t happen again.”

William Miller ignored Leah Foster, his gaze fixed on Ethan Miller.

“I want to see Mom.”

If Evelyn were here, she would have taken care of his wound already.

No, he wouldn’t have gotten hurt in the first place.

The thought made him feel a pang of sadness; he hadn’t seen Evelyn in so long.

“Dad, does Mom really not want us anymore?”

Ethan Miller’s body trembled at that, a wave of irrational panic washing over him.

“Don’t say that. Your mom is just upset. If you apologize sincerely, she’ll definitely come back.”

“Exactly. As long as you honestly apologize, Evelyn will surely forgive you.”

Ethan Miller repeatedly reassured himself in his mind.

Lately, he had noticed how much the house felt off without Evelyn there.

There were no delicious meals, no tender care; even though Evelyn’s belongings were absent, it felt like her presence lingered

everywhere.

Leah Foster felt a surge of anger but quickly reined it in, realizing she would need to take care of the injured William.

Taking care of William Miller was exhausting; she didn’t want to continue playing the free caregiver and housekeeper role.

Thinking of Evelyn only filled her with disdain.

All the hard work and dirty tasks should fall to Evelyn; her role was to show up at the right time and earn some goodwill.

With that thought, Leah Foster hurried to Ethan Miller and urged him.

“Ethan, William is sick. If we keep going against his wishes, it might harm his recovery. Why don’t we take him to see Dr. Hart?”

Ethan Miller hesitated, nearly able to predict that when Evelyn saw him, it would not go well.

“It’s just an illness. Can’t you manage it?”

Moreover, if it weren’t for her, William Miller wouldn’t be hurt.

Leah Foster felt deeply wronged, deliberately dabbing at her eyes with a tissue.

“Ethan, it’s not that I don’t want to care for William; it’s just that he’s asking for Dr. Hart. He needs his mother. I know this situation is because of me-William falling was my fault, and I’m just as anxious. He’s suffering physically, but I’m tormented

emotionally,”

“If I could, I would gladly take on his pain. You know, only Dr. Hart understands William best. She knows how to help him recover quickly.”

Leah Foster lowered her head, exuding a sense of desolation,
