Tangled Temptations

Chapter 156

Eloise gently broke free from his embrace.

She said in a cold voice, "I have no reason to be angry, nor do | need to be."

"But you are still angry!" Harvey gently pulled her back into his arms.

His good mood in the early morning was hard to ignore. His lips lightly grazed her neck, nibbling gently,

seemingly restless.

Eloise impatiently said, "Harvey, don't you have to go to the hospital?"

"I'll leave once I've calmed you down!"

Eloise was fuming. She tried to kick him, but ended up being pinned by him, her

body pressed against the small kitchen counter, the scene was rather risque.

Harvey restrained her and started to gently caress her.

"Have you missedthese days?"

His words were filled with a mature man's charm, irresistible to women.

Eloise simply let him do as he pleased.

She said coldly, "I didn't miss you!"

Harvey did not believe her.

He remembered how passionate and happy she was when they were together. So

in this small kitchen, he boldly sought confirmation, and it turned out to be just as Eloise had said...

She didn't miss him at all!

At that moment, Harvey's heart was filled with disappointment.

Eloise had beccold towards him!

He didn't say anything, just held her tightly and kissed her, "Eloise, letbe with you."

Eloise gently pushed him away.

She said in a colder tone, "I don't need it! Harvey, we are over. It's not appropriate

to do such things, and | don't want to be your outlet."

Harvey straightened up.

He fixed his clothes and frowned lightly.

Eloise turned her back on him and continued making breakfast, "I didn't make breakfast for you. Please leave the

key when you leave."

Harvey wanted to say something.

But his phone rang. It was a call from Griffin.

He didn't want to answer the phone in front of Eloise and upset her further, so he walked out with the phone in

his hand.

The door was gently closed by him.

Eloise had no appetite for breakfast anymore. Her life seemed to be messed up by Harvey again.

Then the doorbell rang...

Eloise thought it was Harvey, so she didn't answer the door.

But it was Veronica.

Veronica shouted outside the door for a long tbefore Eloise snapped back to reality and hurriedly opened the

door.

Veronica said with a disgruntled face, "I saw Harvey downstairs. Eloise, you guys didn't get back together, did

you?"

Eloise gave a bitter smile.

"No, we didn't. But | broke up with Callum."

Veronica was stunned and said guiltily, "Eloise, did I cause this?"

Eloise gently pinched Veronica's cheek, "You think you have such a big influence?

It has nothing to do with you, we just weren't right for each other."

Veronica suddenly leaned in close to Eloise and asked in a drawn-out voice, "Eloise, tellthe truth, did you

sleep with Harvey last night? | just saw him smoking downstairs, he looked really attractive, like he just did it."

Eloise couldn't stand her questioning.

She blushed and said heatedly, "No! | was just drunk!"

She suddenly remembered that Harvey was going to the hospital later, to donate

his rare blood type for his beloved... Just thinking about it made her feel complicated.

His beloved, rare blood type, single...

No matter how you look at it, Harvey doesn't seem like he would becher partner.

After Eloise finished her breakfast and was about to go to Encore Soundworks, her phone rang.

The call was from Michelle, who sounded very anxious.

"Eloise... hurry to the hospital. Your father fainted from dizziness this morning, and

the doctor said it's a cardiovascular disease... hurry, we're at Hope Hospital in Peterborough."

Eloise immediately got in her car.

"Michelle, don't panic, I'll be there soon."

Half an hour later, Eloise arrived at the hospital.

Angus was still unconscious.

Several doctors were gathered around his bed, discussing the surgical plan, while Michelle sat by the bed holding

Angus' hand, tears streaming down her face.

Eloise felt heavy at heart seeing this.

Michelle saw her coming over and seemed to find support.

"Eloise!"

Eloise gently patted her shoulder to comfort her, then looked at Angus lying silently, she felt a lump in her

throat.

It had been a tough half year for her dad!

Michelle said tearfully, "Eloise, these are the top doctors in the hospital, talk to them about your dad's

condition."

Eloise nodded.

She spoke to the doctors with politeness and a hint of fear.

Angus' condition was not good.

The operation had only a fifty percent success rate, too risky even with hope.

Currently, the technology for this operation was not very mature domestically, unless...

Eloise felt slightly dazed.

Michelle was crying incessantly, she was almost kneeling down begging the doctors, hoping they could save

Angus.

The doctors felt sympathetic seeing them like this.

Just then, the door to the ward was pushed open, and Harvey walked in, followed by Denise.

Harvey looked pale, probably because he had just had blood drawn.

Denise spoke first, "I saw Ms. Laurent when | cin, | thought she was here

with Attorney Horigan, but it turns out Angus isn't feeling well."

She was tactful, promptly handing her business card to the attending doctor.

"Angus is a relative of Attorney Horigan."

Those doctor directors naturally knew Harvey.

Not only was Harvey a top lawyer in the country, but Horigan Inc. was also the largest company in the north and

the richest in Peterborough.

Many people wanted to get close to him, but couldn't!

Denise spoke gently, "I feel like the vibe here is a bit heavy, not really the best for

a patient, don't you think? How about we switch to a private room? As for the surgery, Attorney Horigan has

connections. He can get the best experts from around the world, but he needs your cooperation."

She said all this very courteously.

Harvey, a man of power and influence, had it sorted out in no time.

Throughout the whole process, Harvey didn't even have to say a word.

Michelle even stopped crying.

Just a moment ago, the hospital said there was no room available, and now there was? And, Denise said there

would be experts from around the world to consult

on Angus' surgery?

This can't be real!

Michelle looked at Harvey as if he were skind of savior. She then subtly tugged at Eloise's sleeve.

The message was clear: Lou, you need to show sgratitude!

Eloise felt a bit awkward...

Just last night and this morning, she had rejected Harvey's advances, but now

she was accepting his help!

Things were going to get complicated in the future.

Eloise felt a pang of regret. If she had known this would happen, she would have accepted him this morning, so

she wouldn't feel guilty about owing him something! Her little schdidn't escape Harvey's notice.

He looked at her and said coldly, "Eloise, do you really think I'm that shallow?"

He wanted to start over with her, he was pursuing her.

Did she think all he wanted was to sleep with her?

Eloise was startled by his anger and didn't have the courage to retort.

She couldn't afford to be capricious now...
