The little guy was sprawled out, the blanket pulled up to his chest, fast asleep.
Elysia eased herself down beside him, unable to resist touching his soft cheek.
Elijah was such a beautiful and adorable chilld. How could his mother bear to abandon him? What was she thinking?
If it were Elysia, she’d never be able to leave him behind.
Even if she couldn’t stand the kid’s aloof father and had to leave, she’d find a way to take her baby with her!
She withdrew her hand from his cheek, intending to check his pulse.
Suddenly, her wrist was caught by a small hand.
“Mommy!”
Elysia froze.
Tarquin, who had been standing at the doorway, furrowed his brows.
Elijah’s eyes snapped open, fixing on Elysia.
She held her breath, petrified, fearing that any second now, Elijah might erupt in distress.
But instead, Elijah sat up, his eyes brimming with joy as he asked, “Mommy? Is it really you, Mommy? When did you come back? Did you miss me and that’s why you’re here? You won’t leave again, will

Seeing his son in this state, Tarquin started to panic Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
The last time he had seen Elysia, he had been furious.
Why was it that this time, Elijah suddenly mistook her for his mother?
Had his fixation on his mother deepened?
Was his illness getting worse?
Tarquin’s frown deepened with concem. “Are you dreaming
“Huh? I’m not dreaming, Daddy Can’t you see Mommy? Look, Mommy’s right here.”
Tarquin turned to Elysia.
Elysia’s expression was serious, she had regained her composure. She locked eyes with Elijah and said gently. “Elijah, look at me and let’s count together, okay?”
“Okay, whatever you say, Mommy!”
“One, two, three, four, five Elysia snapped, her fingers, and Elijah collapsed back onto the bed.
“Elijah!” Tarquin moved to step forward but stopped when he saw Elysia’s demeanor. He held back
He knew Elysia had hypnotized Elijah. Like other pediatric psychologists, she had always wanted the chance to delve into Elijah’s psyche.
This was her opportunity
Tarquin didn’t want to interrupt and didn’t leave either, staying in place to keep them company.
Time passed, and Elysia’s breathing suddenly became rapid, her chest heaving
Tarquin watched her with a furrowed brow, anxiety etched on his face. “Elysia_”
