Desires Die Hard Chapter 279

Chapter 279

Anya registered for Eudora to get a head CT done, but they had to wait for three other patients to get theirs done before it was their turn.

Since Eudora had suffered quite a score from the fall and was just a kid, she cried when she had to enter the CT room on her own. The doctor had to stop the scanning and told Anya to come in and comfort her. After Eudora calmed down, the doctor proceeded to scan her head again.

By the time they were done with the scan, Eudora’s eyes were red from crying.

Anya was heartbroken to see her daughter crying. She carried Eudora and kept coaxing Eudora as they stood in the corridor. The moment Nathaniel saw Eudora crying, he stood on tiptoes and mimicked his mother’s actions. He reached his hand out and touched Eudora’s forehead gently and spoke incoherently in his childlike voice as he comforted his little sister, “Dora, don’t cry… When we get home… I will give you a toy.”

The moment Nathaniel coaxed Eudora, she stopped crying. She sniffled as she looked at her older brother with her eyes teary and spoke unintelligibly to her older brother.

Since Eudora was finally able to speak, Anya gathered Eudora must be a lot better. She immediately kissed Eudora’s soft cheek and said, “Dora, you gave me such a scare.”

“I’m so glad she is okay.” Ellie was relieved.

“Anya, shall we get Dora some yogurt?” asked Ellie when she noticed Eudora was much better.

Anya had no objection and nodded as she said, “Uh huh. Let’s get them a bottle of yogurt each. We can’t give them too much yogurt since it will cause tooth decay.”

Ellie acknowledged Anya before holding Nathaniel’s hand and said, “In that case, I will take Nate with me and buy yogurt at the supermarket downstairs while you wait for the report.”

“Sure.” It so happened that Eudora’s head CT report would only be ready in thirty minutes, so Anya held Eudora as they

waited for it.

Ellie held Nathaniel’s hand and went off to get some yogurt while Anya carried Eudora and kept walking up and down the corridor. Around ten minutes later, Evan called her.

Anya pulled out one hand to check her phone. The moment she saw the number flickering on her caller ID, she frowned and hesitated about answering the man’s call.

She agreed to watch him box, but she ran off halfway when Eudora got hurt.

To be fair, it was rude of her to leave without telling Evan.

Anya glanced at the hospital corridor before looking at Eudora in her arms. Three seconds later, she answered the phone. If she did not answer the phone now, he would probably summon her to his office tomorrow and question her.

“Yes, Mr. Welton?” Anya composed herself and deliberately asked a completely redundant question softly.

“What do you think? Didn’t you agree to watch me box?” The man’s deep husky voice sounded annoyed over the phone. Anya ought to know he would get angry when she left without a word.

After all, he was Evan Welton!

Anya inhaled deeply before explaining softly in a sweet tone, “I had urgent matters to attend to and had to leave. I’m so sorry, Mr. Welton…”

“What could be so urgent that you had to take off without a word?” Evan’s voice sounded deep. He seemed dissatisfied with her explanation. Anya just knew he would not believe her, but she was unable to tell him the truth, so she said, “Mr. Welton, my bad. I really had something urgent to take care of. I apologize for leaving early.”

Evan leaned against the rope around the boxing ring as he said angrily, “I don’t need your apology. Where are you now? 1

will come over to get you

now.”

Anya went quiet.

She frowned as she said, “Mr. Welton, I can’t see you now…” The moment Anya started to speak, Eudora spoke with her childlike voice while she was in Anya’s arms. “Mama… Mama…”

Evan promptly heard a child’s voice over the phone. He instantly frowned and said, “Is there a kid there?”

“Not at all. What kid?” Anya hurriedly covered Eudora’s mouth and said, “Mr. Welton, I am really busy, I have to go.”
