Bearing His Child, Burying My Heart novel Chapter 8

Elliott's face turned pale, and he quickly rushed his grandfather to the hospital. The entire Stone family was thrown into chaos.

After a night of emergency treatment, his grandfather's life was no longer in danger. However, he remained unconscious, and no one knew when he would wake up.

Elliott stood at the hospital room door, irritated, lighting a cigarette.

The doctor quickly rushed forward to stop him.

Elliott grabbed the doctor by the collar.

"You're the man who was dating Daniella!" he snarled. "How dare you show your face in front of me? Where is Daniella? Did she run off with the child to hide at your place? Tell her to come out and see me right now!"

At hearing this, the usually composed doctor couldn't hold back his anger. He shot back at Elliott.

"You bastard," the doctor growled. "You think money makes you untouchable, huh? Do you even realize what she was doing that day? She wasn't on some date—she was at the funeral home, collecting her mother's ashes! She lost everything in one day—her child, her mother. And you still think she's hiding from you?!"

"And even you call yourself a husband? While your wife was suffering the worst pain of her life, you were out there drinking and sleeping around! Do you even still consider yourself human?"

The nurses gathered around to intervene, but their words were laced with accusations towards Elliott.

Like a man possessed, he sped home. The moment he stepped inside, the silence pressed down on him.

As he stared at the empty house, the truth started to hit him.

He remembered—on the day they fought, when Moiracame home, it was to pack her things.

She was serious. She was really gone.
