Chapter 851 I'll Marry You
"I don't understand, Mr. Yaleman. What do you mean?"
Sean was silent as a glint flashed across his eyes. It seemed that he had made up his mind. "Ask the doctor to send the medicine to my room later, and tell him to be on 24-hour standby."
"Ah? Send them to your room?" Reuben asked in a puzzled tone.
Sean picked Eli up and walked outside.
Reuben understood now. Sean was going to carry Eli back to his room.
He had a peculiar feeling in his heart, and for some reason, he could not seem to ignore it. He lowered his head.
......
Eli was still asleep even after a glucose drip and an amino acid infusion. She started murmuring in her sleep, "Mom, it's painful. My hand hurts."
Sean immediately massaged her stump. Her hand was limp, swollen, and red.
"My hands...," Eli muttered with tears streaming down her face.
Sean was a little distressed. He wiped the tears from her face and said, "You will have one in the future. Medicine is advancing now, so you don't have to worry."
Eli pursed her lips as she tasted her own salty tears. She turned over and fell back asleep in a daze.
Sean lay down behind her, putting his arms around her waist, and pulled her into his embrace.
She was much skinnier than before. He could feel her bones darting out when he touched her belly.
Eli used to be chubbier. He closed his eyes and buried his head in her neck.
They were physically close to each other, yet he could tell that her heart was not with him.
He had done so much, not because he did not forgive her, but because he wanted her to fall in love with him again. He did not want to... lose her just like that.
Eli opened her eyes after a long time and realized that she was yet again in another place. She sat up in confusion and looked at her right arm. It was still gone. It seemed that nothing had changed.
She lay back on the bed and fell asleep again.
Sean went back to the room to take a look at Eli after he was done with work. She was asleep quietly as if her heart had stopped beating.
Sensing that someone was looking at her, Eli opened her eyes. She looked at Sean and asked, "Where am I now?"
"My room," Sean replied, "Are you hungry? I'll prepare your favorite breakfast. What would you like to eat?"
Eli shook her head and replied, "I'm not hungry."
Frowning, Sean said, "You haven't eaten for days. Do you want to starve to death? Do you think that I'll let go of Stella and the others if you starve yourself to death?"
Eli sat up, irritated, and said, "Sean, aren't you tired? You're not happy, so why bother? You have the power, reputation, prestige, and influence that others can't match. You can easily be happy if you want to."
"I've always had power, but I'll never be able to win your heart," Sean said in a deep voice.
"My heart is nothing. When it comes to looks, there are many other women out there who are much more beautiful than me. What's more, I'm a disabled person now. I'm not even intelligent or a good person. Even I find it laughable that you're seeking my heart. I'm old, and I don't have a good figure..."
"I'll marry you," Sean interrupted her before Eli could finish her words.
Dumbfounded for a moment, Eli immediately thought of Sean's girlfriend who was living in the other house. It would be miserable being his wife. "There is no need to humiliate yourself in order to take revenge on me. You should marry someone you love and who loves you back. You are only in your 30s, you still have a long way to go."
"Where would you like to get married? A Country? B Country? D Country or M Country?" Sean asked faintly.
Eli was silent. She sighed and said, "Why are you doing this?"
"I wouldn't be able to get past myself if I don't marry you."
"Are you going to file for a divorce after marrying me? Are you going to look for other women outside after marrying me?" Eli asked.
"Do you even care?" Sean asked Eli in return.
Eli kept quiet and lowered her eyes.
She did care about it.
Since he was already intimate with another woman, Eli knew that she will not accept him again.
Hence, she knew that Sean was not marrying her out of love. He was only going to torture her further in the shackles of marriage. She was worried that she could no longer keep the secret.
"Sean, please let me go. I'm alone now, and I have already received the punishment that I deserve," Eli pleaded, her eyes reddening. "In the future, let us live our lives and not get involved with each other."
Sean rubbed Eli's head and said, "I have powers in D Country and X Country. Let's get married in D Country."
"Hey," Eli was speechless. "Did you think that I was just joking? Stop pretending that my words are bullsh*t."
Sean laughed so hard that his eyes turned red.
In this world, only Eli dared to talk to him like that.
He did not want to make a fuss about it anymore. He no longer cared whether to kill her or force her to kill herself.
He still loved her. He would only be indignant if she were to die, "We'll be together."
Eli stopped talking and closed her eyes.
"Don't you want to take a shower? You smell," Sean said.
Eli still ignored him.
He then lifted Eli from the bed.
Eli looked at him and asked, "What are you trying to do?"
"I'll bathe you," He carried her towards the bathroom.
Eli couldn't care much. She was having a massive headache and she did not have the strength to stop him.
Sean placed her into the bathtub.
He adjusted the water temperature, filled up the bathtub, and helped her undress.
Eli stared at Sean defensively but did not have the strength to resist.
After taking off her clothes, Sean helped her wash her hair.
Eli took a bath towel and covered her body.
The whole scene was not romantic or warm. It was just very strange.
"I have something to tell you," Sean said in a low voice, "Haward is not dead."
Eli's heart trembled as she looked at Sean in shock. "Haward is still alive?"
Sean frowned when he saw how surprised Eli was. It made him felt extremely uneasy.
He did not like the close relationship between Eli and Haward. "I could still kill him easily if I want to."
Eli cracked a smile and said, "Is Haward really still alive? That's great. Where is he now? How is he doing? Could I meet him?"
Every question Eli asked caused Sean's heart to sink further. He said coldly, "Have you fallen in love with him? It looks like I shouldn't keep him alive anymore."
Eli realized that Sean wanted to crush her completely. The more she cared, the more Sean would not let them go. "I didn't fall in love with him. I've always treated Haward as my uncle. I've never had sex with my uncle."
"What?" A glint flashed across Sean's eyes. He thought his ears were deceiving him, and he wanted clarification.
"Haward and I have never had sex. He just treated me as a younger sister and took care of me," Eli explained.
"But three years ago, you told me that you married him because you loved him," Sean said. He seemed to realize that something was off...
