Hector Rogers looked at Eloise Thompson, her face was pale and she looked a little haggard, and for some reason, after only a few days, Hector Rogers felt that she had lost weight.
Eloise Thompson was stunned when she heard Hector Rogers say she had called, she then realised that she had made a mistake and that she had tried to call Linn Dail but had called Hector Rogers …
The atmosphere had been a little awkward and Eloise Thompson had wanted to ask Hector Rogers to go back, she didn’t want to bother him, but a twinge in her stomach caused her to frown slightly and the next thing she knew, she was being picked up by Hector Rogers.
“Hector Rogers, you put me down.” Caught off guard, Eloise Thompson subconsciously spoke.
“Don’t move.” Hector Rogers spoke, and then carried Eloise Thompson downstairs to the hospital.
Eloise Thompson gave a couple of token struggles and stopped struggling as it was really painful.
She sighed and thought to herself, bother him one last time!
The atmosphere in the carriage was quiet the whole way, and when he saw her in such a state of disarray, Eloise Thompson couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sorrow in her heart, and even more remorse that she hadn’t looked before calling.
“Does it hurt?” Hector Rogers asked, speaking up.
Eloise Thompson nodded and didn’t say a word.
The car soon arrived at the nearby hospital, where the doctor examined Eloise Thompson before saying, “It was a gastric attack, caused by irregular eating.”
Eloise Thompson suffered from stomach problems many years ago, but over the years she has eaten regularly so has managed to get better, but the other day …
Hector Rogers frowned slightly at the words “not eating on time”, what had the woman been doing these days? What had she been doing to her body?
The doctor gave Eloise Thompson a drip to relieve the pain and then spoke again, “Eat regularly, little girl, and remember not to eat any stimulating foods in the meantime, I’ll prescribe some medication later and remember to take it on time.
Hector Rogers thanked the doctor, who then gave a few more words of explanation before leaving the ward.
Eloise Thompson, her whole face still a little pale, looked at Hector Rogers and said, “Thank you for the ride, it’s so late, it’s been a real pain.”
Her tone was light and polite sounding.
Hector Rogers stood tall on the edge of the bed and stared at Eloise Thompson, pursing his lips and saying, “How come you’re rusty again after a few days?”
“No.” As she spoke, Eloise Thompson’s eyes flashed with a hint of weakness, more than daring to touch the eyes of Hector Rogers surveying her.
“No? Then why haven’t you reached out to me?” Hector Rogers bent over and propped his hands on the bed as he continued, “Is it because of the wrong number this time, do you think I’m dispensable in your eyes?”
That phone call earlier, where Eloise Thompson was calling Linn Dail’s name, she was not looking for herself, avoiding herself, even trying to push herself away when he had already arrived at the house.
Eloise Thompson’s eyes were downcast and his mellow questioning voice was in her ears. Eloise Thompson was a little flustered but pursed her lips and spoke faintly, “You’re overthinking it.”
“Am I really overthinking this? Then why did you go on a blind date?” Hector Rogers spoke up.
He wasn’t going to talk about it, but at this moment, Hector Rogers wanted an explanation from Eloise Thompson, why she was going on a blind date, why she was pushing herself away. Was he really dispensable in her eyes.
Hearing this, Eloise Thompson’s heart sank; she thought she was being secretive, but it turned out that Hector Rogers knew everything.
Is this the reason he doesn’t look for himself even these days?
And for some reason, Eloise Thompson was inexplicably embarrassed as her clear, crisp voice spoke, “This is my own personal business.”
“Heh, a personal matter, Eloise Thompson, what am I in your eyes? Last time it was because my mother said that to you, and that was my mother’s fault, but she has now promised to leave it alone, and this time?”
Hector Rogers seemed a little angry that Eloise Thompson had pushed him away time and time again, he knew Eloise Thompson had a problem, but Hector Rogers was disappointed that he was willing to tell himself and not talk about the problem so they could work it out together, instead he pushed him away time and time again .
“I’ve never done this to a woman of my own accord in my life, and you’re the first, yet I didn’t think that you’d be so uncommon.”
Eloise Thompson’s eyes lowered and she wanted to tell Hector Rogers that she didn’t want this either, that she liked him too and cared for him even more, but …
Eloise Thompson couldn’t get the words out of her mouth, so she could only say in her mind, “Hector Rogers, I’m sorry.
Seeing Eloise Thompson sink without saying a word, Hector Rogers’ last hope was extinguished and he finally turned to leave.
Eloise Thompson watched his back as he walked away and was tempted to grab it, but held back.
Eloise Thompson’s eyes were unconsciously red as she watched his figure disappear through the doorway of the ward, trying to console herself that this was fine.
Hector Rogers so disappointed, maybe he won’t even come to himself in the future, pretty good …
The pain in her stomach had eased, but Eloise Thompson was still in pain. She closed her eyes as Hector Rogers’ words echoed in her mind over and over again, and tears trailed down the corners of her eyes.
…
After walking out of the ward, Hector Rogers lit a cigarette on the balcony and stayed there for who knows how long, he didn’t eventually go back, just instructed the doctor to take good care of Eloise Thompson.
It’s after four o’clock after this tossing and turning.
When the intern nurse came to change Eloise Thompson’s medication, she looked at her slightly red eyes and said, “Sister, that’s your boyfriend, isn’t it? Did you two have a fight?”
Instead of answering the young nurse’s question, Eloise Thompson opened her mouth and asked rhetorically, “Hasn’t he left yet?”
She thought that Hector Rogers had long since left the hospital.
The little nurse nodded: “Yes! He’s smoking a cigarette on the hospital balcony! I can see he has lit several cigarettes. Sister, your boyfriend looked so anxious when he just carried you to the hospital, I could see he cared a lot! And he’s so handsome, why did he have a fight?”
“It’s nothing.” Eloise Thompson smiled faintly.
The little nurse looked a little distressed, so she spoke up and said comfortingly, “If these two people really like each other, there is nothing that can’t be solved, sister, don’t wait for the future to really separate, then you can’t go back even if you regret it. You must be happy together!”
The needle was removed for Eloise Thompson and the little nurse left the ward without bothering her any further.
The whole room fell silent as Eloise Thompson’s mind echoed the words of the little nurse earlier and she sighed, there was no way to solve the problem between them …
Sitting in her hospital bed, Eloise Thompson also pondered for who knows how long, thinking to herself that maybe Hector Rogers would be okay with the surrogacy thing … Why didn’t she try to tell Hector Rogers about it?
Not knowing how much courage she had mustered, Eloise Thompson lifted the covers off the bed, left the ward and headed for the balcony.
