Chapter 700:
Gabriela squealed with delight and reached out her little arms towards Eileen.
Eileen hurried over, but just as she reached out to take Gabriela from Rubyâs arms, the little girl suddenly pushed her away.
A wide grin spread across Gabrielaâs face, her eyes lighting up when she turned her gaze to Bryan. Her chubby little hand pointed directly at him.
âYour daddy is back,â Eileen said, pulling Bryan over.
Bryan gave Ruby a quick hello, but before he could say another word, Gabriela had launched herself into his arms.
He held her close, feeling his heart melt at the warmth of her presence. His eyes softened as he looked down at her.
âDaddy!â Gabriela chirped, tilting her head to plant a kiss on Bryanâs cheek.
The contrast between Gabrielaâs excitement now and her reluctance at the wedding hit Bryan hard. He felt a wave of warmth. Pressing his face against Gabrielaâs, he whispered low and earnestly, âDaddyâs back, sweetheart. And Iâm not going anywhere this time.â
Ruby nodded, tears streaming down her cheeks. âThatâs great. Have you two eaten anything?â
Eileen shook her head. âNot yet. Donât worry, the doctor is coming to check if Bryan can eat anything right now.â
After all, Bryan hadnât eaten in a while and had been relying on nutrition supplements. He needed to be examined by a doctor first.
Eileen had messaged Josue on the way, asking him to send over a doctor.
Soon, the doctor arrived and performed a basic check-up on Bryan. âThere doesnât seem to be any issues, but I recommend Mr. Dawson go to the hospital tomorrow for a more thorough examination. Some tests require specialized equipment.â
ð¸ððð ððððððð ðð ððððððððð.ððð Eileen quickly arranged for the check-up to be scheduled for the next day.
âWait,â Bryan said, pulling on his shirt and grabbing Eileenâs hand. He rolled up her sleeve and said to the doctor, âCheck on her too.â
The sight of the bruises on Eileen made Bryanâs heart drop.
But her injury wasnât severe. The doctor gave Eileen some ointment to help with healing before leaving.
While Eileen and Bryan were being checked by the doctor, Ruby had prepared some soup, as the doctor had advised. Eileen finished it soon after the doctor left.
Ruby, holding Gabriela, turned to Bryan and Eileen. âYouâre both in bad shape. Iâll take care of Gabriela tonight.â
In the soft glow of the room, Eileen slipped into her nightdress after her shower, applying ointment to the bruises Jonathan had left on her wrist. The steady sound of water running in the bathroom brought her a strange mix of peace and tension.
When the water stopped, the bathroom door opened moments later. Eileen glanced up as Bryan emerged. His bare chest glistened with droplets of water, which trailed down his sculpted abs before disappearing into the towel at his waist. His body was undeniably attractive.
