Chapter 59

“Although she drank, it was fortunate that she didn’t drink too much, and her body didn’t have any allergic or stimulating reaction.” After examining Liliana, the doctor sighed slightly. “There’s no need to pump her stomach, but it’s better to give her some yogurt to relieve the effects of the alcohol. It’s not good for such a young child to be drunk.” Beau looked up at Noah standing at the entrance. Noah quickly turned around. “I’m going to buy yogurt right now!” Eliza squatted down and gently caressed the child’s scorchingly hot back. “Liliana, do you feel uncomfortable?” The little girl opened her eyes in a daze and looked at Eliza. “Mom…” Eliza’s body trembled slightly. “I really miss having a mother…” Liliana, who was confused due to the effects of the alcohol, held Eliza’s hand. “Mr. Benton said that my parents must still be alive and waiting for me to come home…” “But where are they?” Tears fell as Liliana spoke. “Miss, can you be my mom?” After saying that, she looked up at Beau with large misty eyes. “You can be my father.”

Beau furrowed his brows and remained silent. For some reason, he suddenly felt that this little girl was quite similar to Eliza when looked at from a certain angle. She also looked similar to Demarion and Braint. “Mom…” Liliana threw itself into Eliza’s arms, its eyes brimming with tears. “I have a mother now!”

When Liliana threw her warm body into Eliza’s embrace, Eliza pursed her lips and hugged her tightly.

“Mom…” She kept calling Eliza “Mom” as she slowly fell into a deep sleep in Eliza’s arms. When Liliana started breathing steadily in her arms, Eliza took a deep breath and put her back on the bed. When Eliza withdrew her arms, Liliana reached out to grab her. “Mom, don’t go…”

Eliza pursed her lips and comforted her softly. “I won’t leave…” After that, Eliza sat at the head of the bed helplessly. She turned around and looked at Beau with some embarrassment. “Can I… stay here to accompany her?” “Alright.” Beau pulled a chair over and motioned for Eliza to sit down. “I’ll accompany you.” Eliza’s face couldn’t help but turn red at Beau’s low voice. She pursed her lips and lowered her voice. “You won’t be angry, will you?” After all, this girl had nothing to do with them. She was just a passer-by. At this moment, Beau should have gone back to work after the meal. However, because she couldn’t bear to leave Liliana, Beau had to waste his time here to accompany her here. “No, I won’t.”

Beau looked at Liliana. “Actually, I don’t mind having a daughter.” Eliza was startled. Blank-faced, she turned around to look at him, wondering why he would suddenly say such words. Seeing her confused gaze, he smiled slightly and said, “Braint and Demarion also want a sister.” After speaking, his gaze shifted toward Eliza’s stomach. “That agreement… you signed it, right?” Eliza was stunned for a moment and suddenly remembered the agreement that Braint had given her. The agreement said that she would give birth to a child with Beau within a year!“ Thinking of this, Eliza’s face instantly turned red. She quickly turned her face away. “About that…” Eliza’s mind went blank and her tongue was in knots. “I…”

When the tension between them became extremely thick, the door of the ward opened with a bang.

Julian, who was still wearing his costume, pushed open the door and entered anxiously. “Liliana!” Eliza quickly made a shushing gesture. “She’s asleep.” After that, she looked up. “Julian?” Julian nodded and strode in. He squatted down and looked at Liliana’s little face. “How is she?” “She’s okay.” Eliza pursed her lips and explained the situation to Julian in a low voice. “We didn’t pay attention during that time, so…” Julian furrowed his eyebrows, and his face looked serious and indifferent. “That is not enough to dispel the charge of child kidnapping.” Eliza was completely stunned.

Child kidnapping? Julian coldly pulled Eliza’s hand away from Liliana. “We have already called the police.” “Mom…” When Eliza’s hand left Liliana, the little girl on the bed cried out pitifully. Julian’s brows furrowed. Beau walked over and wrapped Eliza in his embrace. There was a hint of cold mockery on his lips. “Someone who can lose their child really doesn’t have a functioning brain.” Beau’s words made Julian frown. He was a noble and arrogant person, whether in the rich and powerful Benton family in Puskia or in the entertainment industry. No one had ever dared to say that about him! He stood up and looked back at Beau indifferently. “I’m just too busy with my work.” There was a show at Sea World tonight. When he went to participate in the event, Julian had arranged for his agent to take care of Liliana. However, as soon as he went on stage, his agent lost Liliana. Julian was also surprised by this.

Liliana had always been well-behaved and sensible. How could she have suddenly run off? “Is that so?”

Beau stared at Julian. “I’m also very busy with work. But my two sons have never gotten lost.” His arrogant voice made Eliza sigh helplessly from the bottom of her heart. What did it matter that Liliana got lost and the two mischievous boys at home had never gotten lost? How could Liliana compare with Braint and Demarion? Julian frowned. After a moment of silence, he snorted coldly. “Who knows if you’re telling the truth or not. Let’s wait for the police.” Beau looked at him indifferently. “If it wasn’t child kidnapping, then you would have slandered us.” “Whatever you say.” Julian held Liliana, his voice cold.

“As a father, I’d rather punish the wrong person than let him go.” Julian’s words made Eliza pause. Julian was Lilliana’s father? So Liliana is Julian’s illegitimate daughter who went viral a few days ago? Who was Liliana’s mother? Curiosity burned in Eliza’s heart. Julian frowned as noticed that Eliza was looking at him strangely. He recalled that the woman had recognized him the moment he entered the room… He sighed. “Liliana is my adopted daughter.” Julian stroked Liliana’s back lovingly and said, “The doctor said she’s too small sized, as if she’s the youngest of twins, so she was abandoned. 2 She’s in poor health.

I’ve been doing my best to protect her all these years. I don’t want her to get hurt.” After that, he looked into Eliza’s eyes. “I’m telling you this because I know that you know who I am. But I don’t want you to tell the media about Liliana. Of course, even if you expose this news, I am not afraid.”
