Good bye You Never Love Me novel Chapter 1114

Chapter 1114 Force Her (3)

Leah stood at the doorway with a worried expression, looking frantically between Rose and Elliot. She seemed oblivious to the tension between them as she gasped out, "Mommy... Shawn fainted..."

Elliot sat up and released his hold on Rose, pulling the covers over her instead. His brow furrowed in confusion as he asked, "What?"

"The child... Shawn fainted!" Leah rushed out in one breath before adding, "He passed out!"

Elliot's face paled as he got up from the bed. He didn't waste any time and walked straight out of the room while Leah ran towards her mother.

As Elliot reached the door, he stopped abruptly and glanced back into the room. His face was cold when he warned Rose sternly, "You stay here. Don't go anywhere. I'll have someone keep an eye on you."

Rose rolled her eyes when Elliot left but quickly composed herself for Shawn's sake.

"Leah..." she called softly.

Leah immediately ran into her arms with tears streaming down her face.

"Mommy! Mommy! You scared me so much!" Leah cried out in relief.

Mother and daughter held each other close with a sense of gratitude for surviving this ordeal unscathed.

Meanwhile, Elliot had hurried to Shawn's room where he found him lying motionless on his bed. He felt a pang of worry shoot through him before quickly dialing their family doctor's number on his phone.

"Shawn?" Elliot spoke gently while studying his son closely with furrowed brows that betrayed his concern.

Shawn pretended to be unwell by opening his eyes slowly; his cheeks flushed red either from nervousness or fear before whispering weakly, "Dad."

"Hmm? Where does it hurt?" Elliott sat down beside him,"The doctor is coming soon to check you over just in case."

Shawn blushed even more at this suggestion but shook his head stubbornly, "I'm fine now."

"No, it's not okay. You passed out, we need to have a doctor to check you first," Elliot interrupted the child firmly. Shawn didn't make any excuses and agreed to see a doctor.

The family doctor arrived quickly and carefully examined Shawn. Although he had some doubts and was puzzled, he still told Elliot the truth, "Mr. Harper, Shawn is just a bit startled. He'll be fine after taking a break."

The implication is that there are no other significant issues.

Elliot's tightly furrowed brow showed no signs of relaxation, and he couldn't help but wonder: Shawn fainted, but he's fine now? He turned to see the child, whose eyes were flickering unnaturally, his face filled with discomfort. This demeanor was a clear indication that something was amiss.

In almost an instant, Elliot grasped the situation. After the family doctor had left, leaving only the two of them father and son in the room, the atmosphere grew quiet.

Shawn blushed and looked at Elliot with a hint of shame. He had never lied before, especially not to Elliot, except for today.

"Dad," he murmured softly, "I'm sorry, I wasn't sick."

Elliot's face remained calm, and his eyes looked deeply at him. "Why did you lie?"

Shawn sat at the table with a rosy face. Rose knew that her daughter and Shawn had rescued her from danger together. Plus, Shawn was a simple-minded and cute child. She showed concern by serving him food several times while giving Leah some as well; the little boy's eyes shone brightly as he thanked her.

The meal was warm-hearted; even after finishing it, Rose didn't see Elliot's figure anywhere which made her breathe another sigh of relief.

After almost experiencing something terrible earlier on, she didn't want to see him or know how to interact with him if they met again. Luckily for Rose though, he never appeared again, so she went back to her room for rest.

She drifted into a drowsy sleep that night, seemingly dreaming of Elliot standing before her with a tender gaze, looking at her with an indulgent expression. Rose couldn't quite put it into words, but it felt as though... as though he was wearing the same gentle, indulgent smile he had when he looked at Madeleine.

A sudden chill woke up Rose abruptly from this dreamy state; she lay silently on the bed for half an hour before finally getting up slowly.

This dream wasn't good at all!

She patted her face and went to freshen up.

After having breakfast, she had intended to lazily return to her room for some rest. However, Leah wanted to go out and play. Just as the mother and daughter were about to step out of the door, a servant rushed up to intercept them. "Mrs. Harper! Leah!"

Rose turned around asking, "What's wrong?"

The servant spoke a few words with an awkward expression, and Rose's face immediately changed color.

"What?"
