Chapter 1137 Getting Sick (4)

After she finished speaking, she looked at him seriously. Her eyes showed no sign of deception, and it seemed like she really wanted to divorce him.

Elliot felt irritated and tugged at the buttons on his collar. He unbuttoned two of them and took a deep breath. Even his stomach began to ache as anger slowly crept into his heart.

For the first time, he didn't explode in anger but instead looked at her with equal seriousness. "Why do we have to get divorced? We can still move forward without getting divorced, Rose. The past is behind us now; we can have a future together--"

"There is no future," Rose interrupted him before he could finish speaking. She didn't directly express her surprise or anger towards Elliot. "We won't have a future together anymore. Everything from when I left became part of the past for me, including my feelings for you, Elliot."

"You have a child and another woman that you love; it's not right for us to keep entangling ourselves like this anymore," Rose continued calmly but firmly, "I don't want things between us to be like they were before... Do you understand what I mean?"

"I don't understand! Rose, the only woman I've ever loved is you!" Elliot growled lowly as if he was enraged by her words; his demeanor was intense and powerful enough that even Rose's eyelids twitched along with her heart.

"It has always been you! What are you thinking? I don't like Madeleine; I've only ever liked one person--you!"

When Elliot had surgery in the hospital under anesthesia earlier on, all he could control was probably just his mind.

At that moment, he suddenly thought about every little thing they had experienced during this period of time together.

They met again after being apart for so long and argued endlessly over various issues until their faces turned red from yelling at each other before finally parting ways without reconciling.

But these scenes weren't what he wanted.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

What Elliot had always wanted was for her to return to him so they could start anew together rather than meeting up again just so she could ask for a divorce as if coming back into his life meant nothing more than ending their marriage.

Elliot didn't know what she was thinking exactly nor did he want to admit how much these thoughts weighed on him right now but one thing's certain - He felt that she was slipping further away from him with each passing moment which wasn't something that sat well with him either way...

The emotions that had been suppressed within himself inexplicably erupted outwards all at once towards Rose - full of excitement mixed with anticipation yet gentleness too - everything came pouring out all at once without any restraint whatsoever...

"I miss you, I miss you being alive, and I also miss the countless times when you waited for me to come back home. It has always been you that I like, Rose," Elliot said with a trembling voice. He looked at her helplessly and spoke earnestly about what he thought he could never say in his lifetime.

Rose was startled at first, but as she heard his words clearly, her heart went from disbelief to suspicion and expectation little by little. Even she couldn't control the tears welling up in her eyes.

Elliot was not someone who would speak from his heart or say these things to a woman.

But when he lay on the operating table, he inexplicably thought of one possibility.

If Rose divorced him again and left him once more, then he would really lose her forever.

What would happen if such a situation occurred?

Could he accept her leaving him again?

The answer was obvious - it was impossible. He didn't want this kind of situation to happen. Therefore, under these circumstances, he had to make sure that she willingly stayed with him by his side.

"... What did you say?" Rose trembled as she spoke out loud. "Did I hear correctly?"

She had never expected to hear such words from Elliot before - ever!

But here they were now coming out of Elliot's mouth!

Was this still the same high-and-mighty Elliot who didn't care about anything?

Rose simply couldn't believe it!

"Rose... Don't you believe me?" Elliot knew exactly what she was thinking just by looking at her expression.

This woman almost drove him

crazy! But when he thought about how she kept insisting on divorcing him all this time despite everything else they've been through together... His heart felt both wronged and helpless! What else could be done? A husband must coax his wife into staying. "It's true! For years now since your supposed death... I have never believed it happened; I have always searched for you until finally finding out that you are still alive."

"Let us start over again, Rose."

He understood that it was too late for him to confess his feelings...

Fortunately there is still a chance now...

He won't give her another chance to leave anymore!

"Y-y-you... me." Rose stuttered, blinking her eyes and lowering her head as if seriously considering these words. Her thick, curled eyelashes covered the emotions in her eyes, making it difficult for Elliot to see clearly. He could only watch asher feather-like lashes trembled slightly, causing an itch in his heart.

"Rose, think about it carefully," he said.

When Rose returned to her room, she was surrounded by children. She didn't know what she had heard or what she had answered until the children left the room and a buzzing sound remained in her ears. Did he say that his long-time crush was on

her? And did he want her P

stay so

they could start over?

Her already fast-beating heart began to tremble uncontrollably and before she knew it, she was holding back breathing for what seemed like forever until finally taking deep gasps of air when regaining consciousness.

Despite the cold weather outside, Rose felt hot all over with a feverish blush spreading across cheeks while feeling dizzy and lightheaded.

Did Elliot really mean what he said? Did he truly like me this whole time? But during these past few months, every time we met up, we just argued non-stop.

But now that I think about it more closely... he always got angry whenever I brought up divorce. Maybe because of how much he likes me? Why else would he go through such trouble just trying to keep me around even after I mentioned divorce multiple times?

As soon as this thought crossed Rose's mind while lying on the bed, a smile slowly spread across her lips.

No! Wait! Elliot said that he liked me but then there's Madeleine... what's going on there exactly again?

Oh right! There is also their son Shawn.

The smile on Rose's face gradually faded away until disappearing completely; mouth drooping down at corners while feeling pain inside her chest from reality hitting hard against previously happy mood filled with secret joy.

Yes...

He still has a son named Shawn whom Madeleine gave birth too.

She almost forgot. Before she returned home, Elliot had planned to marry Madeleine, and no one in the Harper family liked her. Even old Mr. Harper only recognized Madeleine as his granddaughter-in-law.
