NovelEnglishChapter 375 Comeback Anastasia looked up and caught his gaze before lowering her head in panic. The nicer he was to her son, the more powerless she was to reject him.
After dinner, Anastasia poured out a glass of water for him and took the opportunity to thank Elliot. “Thank you for hiring the lawyer.” Her kidnapping case this thad involved the help of his lawyer.
“The police are gathering evidence; as soon as they can be convicted, | won't go easy on them.” There was a cold gleam in Elliot's eyes.
“If you want to investigate your kidnapping case years ago, and if you need my dad’s help, you can just call him to ask. He'll cooperate.” “Okay!” Elliot nodded.
“Here, take your medicine!” Anastasia urged.
Elliot opened the plastic bag. There were a few bottles inside, and when he counted the pills, he had to take around eight of them in one go.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnastasia was stunned. Why did he have so many pills to take? “Is this prescription from a reputable doctor?” Anastasia frowned as she asked, worried that he had gone to the wrong doctor.
Elliot felt warmth in his heart, for her momentary concern did not escape his notice. He shook the pills onto his palm and swallowed them in one go.
Tticked by, and after Anastasia bathed her son, she emerged to see the man already asleep on the couch.
He sat on the extended side of the couch, his head on the back of the couch as he closed his eyes and slept soundly.
“Shh, please keep quiet, Mommy. Don’t disturb Mr. Presgrave in his sleep.” The little guy immediately put a finger to his lips as he spoke.
Anastasia thought that it was quite late already, and he simply had to be woken up so that Rey could take him hlater.
“You can go back to your room and sleep first,” Anastasia whispered.
The little guy went to bed as he was told. Then, Anastasia walked up to Elliot. The man was in a deep sleep, for he would usually sense if she went near him. Now, he slept as if he had lost all consciousness.
Could it be that his medicine was putting him to sleep? Anastasia couldn't help but make a call to Rey.
“Mr. Osborne, President Presgrave has fallen asleep in my house. Please cand fetch him!” “I'm terribly sorry, Miss Tillman; | have smatters to attend to, so I'm afraid | can’t make it.” “In that case, do you have his bodyguards’ contact numbers? Can you get them to pick him up?” “Miss Tillman, since it’s a rare occasion for President Presgrave to fall asleep so soundly, why don’t you let him rest at your place for the night?” Anastasia was speechless.
“For the past two days, President Presgrave has been having problems with his sleep, and it has been affecting his recovery too.
Sorry to trouble you.” Remembering that Elliot didn’t seem too high in spirits, Anastasia couldn’t help but soften. “Alright!” She would have to share the room with her son tonight.
After ending the call with Rey, Anastasia looked at the man sleeping on the couch. She thought that he should move to the bedroom since it was quite chilly outside, and his cold would definitely get worse.
“Elliot, go sleep in the room!” Anastasia walked over and patted his shoulder gently.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, Elliot didn’t seem to hear her. Anastasia stared at his handsface and resorted to harsher means instead. Thus, she patted his face. “Elliot, go sleep on my bed.” The face-patting was very effective. Elliot lifted his thick eyelashes and looked at her with bleary eyes. “I can stay for the night?” “Yes, it's quite late already, and Mr. Osborne doesn’t have tto fetch you,” Anastasia said in exasperation.
A grinning look flashed across Elliot's eyes. As expected of his trusty assistant, Rey knew him best.
While Elliot sat on the bed, Anastasia brought half a bucket of water to him so that he could soak his feet in warm water for a bit.
If he didn’t soak his feet in this weather, it would be too cold for him to bear.
Elliot cooperated and took a warm foot bath. Then, he put his head on her pillow as he lay on her soft bed. Every breath he took was filled with a fragrance unique to her. Then, he went back into a deep slumber.
After helping Elliot settle in, Anastasia took a bath and slept next to her son. The little guy’s rosy cheeks squished against her chest, and she couldn't help but lower her head and plant kisses on his head.
Anastasia was exhausted as well, and she soon fell asleep.
Meanwhile, Hayley had just survived a near-death experience in Hogland. All her surgeries were completed, and the doctor said they were a huge success.
Hayley could hardly wait to return home. She had essentially switched out her entire head; her slightly squarish face was now oval, and she had also undergone epicanthoplasty so that her double eyelids looked just like Anastasia’s.
