You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 234

"Arabella, I can help you and Adam settle in another country." While they were eating in the canteen of the hospital, Eric offered Arabella.

"But know that if you do that, you will keep on running from Bill Sky. I don't think Bill would just let go of the only heir of the Sky." Eric added calculating carefully their plan.

He was right!

Since Bill knew Adam already, she could not hide his son from him forever.

Bill would definitely get Adam from her by hook or by crook.

"Oh, brother!... God knows how much I wanted to settle in another country with my son away from Bill Sky. We are going to start fresh. I can enroll Adam in a new school. We can have our simple yet happy life back." After her words, she heaved a heavy sigh.

Her expression was so exhausted as her tone was very frustrated.

"And this..." She rolled her heavy puffy eyes in dismay. "I can't just leave Damien with his situation here." She heaved another heavy sigh.

Her mind was troubled.

"Who is that guy in your life aside from being a friend?" Eric asked with a frown.

Admittedly, he had more to discover in Arabella's life.

He met her a long time ago but at the moment, he was the new guy.

"Brother... Damien is a good friend of mine. Just like you, he's also my savior." Arabella answered with full of gratefulness in her eyes.

Thinking of how Damien had helped her before, made her suddenly sad that he was lying unconscious in a hospital bed.

Arabella told Eric more about Damien.

Eric just listened and tried to absorb everything.

At some point, he was thankful for Damien.

Then Arabella's story went deeper.

Without her realizing that she was already opening her tragic life to Eric 6 years ago.

Upon hearing her story, his hands clenched into fists.

He could not believe Arabella had experienced the cruelness of Bill Sky.

'Bill Sky...' Eric muttered in his mind.

What he had done to Arabella was unacceptable.

If only he had found her earlier, Bill Sky could not touch her even a strand of her hair.

If only he found Arabella earlier, Bill Sky could not marry her.

If only he found her at that time, Bill Sky could not force himself to her.

Arabella didn't deserve to be treated like Bill did.

She should have not experienced those sufferings.

Thinking about it broke his heart.

Her tone was disheartened like it just happened yesterday.

Eric shook his head to get rid of his regrets and his surging anger.

It already happened in the past and though he wanted to change it, it already happened.

There's nothing he could do about it.

Now that he found her, Eric swore to protect and take care of Arabella with his life.

No one is allowed to bully her ever again including Bill Sky.

"Then please accept my offer. Live with me." Eric looked at Arabella with deep eyes.

His sincerity was shown in them. "Bill Sky is a dangerous enemy. He will never spare you with his wrath and I can only fully protect you if you are living with me." Eric's tone was powerful and convincing.

"But brother, I don't want you to get in trouble too like Damien." With tears started assembled in her eyes, she blurted.

"Bill Sky can't do anything to me. If you are under my roof, he can't do anything to you as well. Besides, Ivan and Adam would be very happy. Let them help each other's trauma." Eric was right again.

She knew Adam had still not recovered from Bill.

Adam was still holding grief in his heart.

He always seemed to show his stronger side for her but as his mother, she could feel the intense sadness in his heart.

She knew Adam was hiding his true emotion so he could not affect her and she was used to this kind of trait Adam had.

He wanted to be strong for her, especially now, Adam seemed to see his worst enemy, his father, Bill Sky.

"What's your decision?"

Eric's voice brought her back to her senses.

Arabella looked at Eric's sincerity then she smiled.

"I... I agree." She answered while blushing.

Though Eric was good to her, she was still shy at him.

She felt desperate and troubled by his offer but she felt it was a win-win offer.

Adam would be less feeling lonely when he had Ivan around.

Maybe he could forget his father when he had a playmate.

"Good!" Eric quickly held her hands on the table.

His tone was happy like he won a prize.

"Oh, I think, I need to check on Damien." Damien had flashed across her mind.

She quickly stood up to leave.

That was the only time Eric let go of her hands.

Eric also stood up then walked with her.

When they reached the room, Eric's phone rang.

He excused himself to answer his phone.

She entered Damien's room and to her surprise, a girl was sobbing while holding Damien's hand.

At that time, she wished Damien had seen and heard the girl.

Her words were soft but Arabella knew the girl was telling him something.

"Lira?" She walked closer and she immediately recognize the crying girl.

Lira quickly turned around wiping her tears with her fingers.

Her expression was stunned too.

Arabella couldn't help but hugged Lira.

She knew how Lira loved Damien and that added to her guilt.

"Lira... I'm sorry, Damien will be okay." Arabella couldn't help bursting into tears on Lira's shoulder.

"Ms. J, I have to tell you something..." Lira muttered in between her cry.

She was about to say something to Arabella when Damien made a deteriorating sound.

In a panic, they quickly looked at Damien at the same time.

“Damien! Damien!” Arabella rushed closer to Damien’s bed.

She didn’t know what to do.

Her mind went completely black and her heart raced so fast.

“Damien! Please don’t do this… Damien, wake up!” She roared desperately.

Her guilt was banging inside her.

Lira quickly called the nurses.

They came in running with the doctors to check Damien.

He was quickly pushed back to the emergency room leaving Lira and Arabella in awe outside.

Inhale… Exhale…

Arabella sat on the couch outside the emergency room while Lira was standing near the door.

They were both trying to overcome the shock and fear of losing Damien.
