Chapter 59

Standing outside the ward, Ellana pressed her lips together, a trace of unease flickering across her face nt she overheard the conversation inside,

A second later, she adjusted her expression and knocked gently on the door, drawing the attention of the woman within.

“Hey, Ellie, you’re here” Bernice Halverson ended the call in a hurry and turned toward Eliana with a warm smile.

“Bemie.” Eliana stepped into the room and immediately leaned into Bernice’s arms, nurling against her like a child seeking comfort

Bernice stroked Eliana’s soft hair and asked gently, “How’s work been lately!”

Eliana lifted her head from Bernice’s shoulder, her eyes shining, “It’s going really well. Oh, good news, I managed to convince my dad to fund the Therapy Center. You can rest easy. The kids won’t lose their home.”

Bernice’s face showed a flicker of shock. “But I just read online that Burke Group is in trouble. H Therapy Center right now?”

How could your father possibly have the money to fund the

Eliana’s p gaze flickered slightly. “You know, most of the online rumors are made up. Don’t believe everything you read”

She then pulled out a bank card and waved it w

it with a grin. “The only thing that counts is money in hand.”

Seeing how confidently she spoke, Bemice couldn’t help but be partly convinced.

Still, in Bernice’s memory, Hudson had never been one for charity. On the contrary, under the influence of his wife, every decision he made was indecisive and erratic.

But Bernice trusted Eliana and knew Eliana wouldn’t lie to her. She thought perhaps Hudson had really given the money, just not a large amount.

Pulling herself from her thoughts, Bernice let out a low sigh. “It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for cancer treatment, the Therapy Center wouldn’t be in such financial strain. Sometimes I wonder if it’d be better to just give up.”

Ellana immediately grew anxious. “Bernie, the Therapy Center was your painstaking effort. Without you, it would lose its soul”

Seeing Bernice’s smile, Ellana pressed on. “Don’t worry. While you’re in the hospital, take care of everything. Once you’re discharged, everything will be right back on track.”

“You’re so sweet, Ellie Bernice reached out and gently cupped Elana’s face, her eyes full of maternal affection. “Please say thanks to your father for

me”

Elana nodded, though deep down, she didn’t dare reveal the truth that she had traded herself to make that deal with Hudson. Nor did she dare confess that she had married Theodore.

if Bernice knew the money came from “selling herself,” she’d rather die than accept it.

Later, at Russell Manor.

Barbara stood in the courtyard, glancing out toward the gate from time to time. The moment Eliana’s figure finally appeared in the distance, Barbara stamped her foot and ran up to her. “So you do remember where home is?”

Noticing the snowflakes gathered on Barbara’s shoulders, Eliana asked in confusion, “You… waited out here for me?”

Her calm tone made Barbara even more furious. “What else was I supposed to do? Do you know Theodore hasn’t eaten a single thing since this morning? You had a good time at your parents’s place and forgot about him, didn’t you?”

Eliana’s heart dropped upon hearing that. She turned to t

Barbara choked on her words. That was indeed what she said–just to save face in front of ana

“I did say that, but I also told you later that the moment you left, he threw a fit. I even told you to come back immediately, and you ignored me; ba yelled back,

Hearing that. Eliana recalled how she dropped her phone in a panic when Isaac suddenly went missing in the play area.

Eliana sighed, “Fine, I’m sorry about that, but if it was that serious, why didn’t you call me again?”“

“Oh, please. You just didn’t want to answer my call. I don’t know what kind of spell you’ve cast on Theodore, but now he’s starving himself because of you,” Barbara snapped.
