His Coy Lover

River Town First People’s Hospital.

As Lucy walked out of the elevator, out of Zelda’s sight, she immediately called Elle.

As a result, Elle learned that Zelda officially joined the Roscente Group today.

She couldn’t stop Zelda from entering the company.

All because of her own birth mother, holding her back.

Thinking of Chris’s attitude, Elle felt it was a deliberate act by her adoptive mother. Letting her take leave to take care of her birth mother was just an opportunity for Elle to enter the Roscente Group.

Even if she didn’t take leave, Zelda would still enter the company. However, she could have subtly made Zelda rethink it.

Her birth mother, who had cared for her for more than twenty years, immediately changed her attitude upon learning that she was not her biological daughter.

Elle felt some resentment towards Chris, her adoptive mother.

In the hospital bed, Alan’s mom looked at Elle, who once again entered the room, holding her phone. She spoke with both concern and apology, “Elle, Mom is much better today. You’re busy; there’s no need to accompany me here. Your big brother is here; you can go back to work.”

Her own biological daughter had received the best education and was outstanding in every aspect. At a young age, she had become the vice president of the Roscente Group. If Chris hadn’t known the truth that her two children were swapped, Elle would have undoubtedly become the head of the Roscente. Alan’s mom felt both relieved and self-reproachful for not being able to nurture Zelda to be more outstanding. She felt sorry for Zelda and the Roscente.

“I’ve taken a few days off to accompany you. I’ll definitely stay until the end of the vacation before going back to the company.”

Elle never felt close to her birth mother.

Her attitude was always indifferent and cold, but Alan’s mom didn’t mind. As long as her biological daughter could come and see her, she was content.

“Do you want some water? I’ll pour you a glass.”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“I’m not thirsty. Elle, sit down. Let Mom take a good look at you.”

“What’s there to look at? It’s not like you haven’t seen me before. If you’re not thirsty, just go to sleep. I’ll keep an eye on the IV drip.”

Elle said, then pulled up a chair, sat down, and refreshed the news on her phone.

Alan had gone out to buy something.

If he were here and saw Elle like this, he would surely launch another round of accusations.

Anyway, he just couldn’t stand his younger sister’s attitude towards their mother.

If you don’t want to come, you don’t have to.

If you come, don’t act like they owe you something.

It hurts their mother’s heart.

In the quiet night, Alan’s mom would always cry into her pillow, a fact that Alan knew.

Alan’s mom, seeing Elle’s response, didn’t want to speak anymore, just quietly watching her.

“Are you going to sleep or not? If not, I’ll go out for a walk. The IV drip won’t be finished so quickly.”

Elle didn’t like her birth mother staring at her.

Standing up, she took her phone and walked out of the ward.

As soon as she left the ward, she called Burton.

When Burton answered the phone, she first asked with concern, “Burton, is the crisis in your company resolved? Did Charles see you guys yesterday?”

“No.”

Burton’s words carried fatigue. “Elle, I’m really annoyed and busy right now. I won’t chat with you. I’ll hang up first.”

Elle proposed, saying, “Burton, you need to rest. If it doesn’t work, you can ask Zelda for help. Whether Charles treats her well or not, she’s living in the Winston now, has more opportunities to interact with Charles than we do. If she’s willing to help you in front of Charles, say a few good words, it might work.”
