Chapter 871 To Him, You Are Just As Priceless As Water
"Without any concrete evidence, there will only be suspicion. You feel guilty because you feel uneasy. You should keep your head low and prevent Sean from noticing anything out of the ordinary. Otherwise, not only would he be suspicious, but he would also start to suspect you. You should be prepared to retreat unscathed. After all, you have done so much for Sean," Reuben said solemnly.
"I understand. I believe that you would have earned Sean's trust this time since you saved Eli from the bullet. With his trust, everything will be easier in the future. Alright, that's all for now, I'll hang up," Hodge said.
Reuben lay on the bed and turned off his phone. Closing his eyes, he thought of Eli's smile, as well as her care for him. It was all worth it.
Eli was taken back to A Country. Stella came running out of the waiting room when she arrived at the airport's military base.
Eli was elated to see Stella. She immediately rushed over and hugged her.
Stella had put on some weight, and her belly was also round. However, she was still beautiful as ever.
"Stella, I've missed you so much," Eli said.
Stella's eyes turned red. "Eli, you've lost a lot of weight."
"I did that on purpose. You are pregnant now. It's not good for your body to stand outside for a long time. You need more rest," Eli said. She saw Jasper standing not too far away, looking at Stella worriedly.
"Come on, let's go home. My home is also yours from now on," Stella said with tears of joy.
Eli paused. She had something to say, but it seemed inappropriate to say it at that moment.
Stella led her to Jasper with a smile. "I've managed to save her."
Jasper gave her a faint smile and nodded.
"I've prepared 250g of crab for you. All of them are rich in crab roe, and they are exceptionally delicious," Stella said to Eli.
"I may eat a bit slower because of my arm," Eli replied apologetically.
"Sean told me about your arm. I've invited the scientific research team over. They promised to come over in a week and the equipment will be shipped here as well. The prosthetic arm is still in the making. They will send it over once it's done," Stella assured her.
"I may have to trouble you then."
"It's my pleasure. Jasper said that this set of equipment is very good. After all, soldiers often get injured and car accidents happen very frequently these days. The equipment could be used in the Southern Bay hospital too. But you have to live with me for the time being. My son can be a little annoying," Stella said.
Eli nodded and got into the car that was arranged by Jasper.
Jasper sat at the passenger's seat in front, while Stella and Eli sat in the back.
Eli held Stella's arm and leaned her head on her shoulder. "It feels as though we have gone back to the past. You and I, sitting in Jasper's car, filled with happiness.
"We will live a happy life," Stella squeezed Eli's hand.
Eli's eyes dimmed, "I'm a little worried about Sean. They would probably raise their guard against Sean after the attack in Paris. He's surrounded by enemies."
Stella said solemnly, "He treats you quite well. The Yeager family was exterminated, and he was worried about your safety. Moreover, they are putting the blame on you. That's why Sean wanted to send you to me quickly."
"He's alone now. I don't want him to be fighting alone," Eli said with teary eyes.
"You'd only worry him more if you stay with him. He will only be able to focus if he knows that you are safe," Stella replied, trying to comfort Eli.
"If I hadn't been with Sean, he would still be a dignified president. With his abilities, he would definitely accomplish great things," Eli sighed.
"But he won't be happy. He won't be able to relax because there are too many conspiracies and schemes in politics. You are the only light in his life. That was why he would rather give up the country than give up on you. Now, at least, he doesn't have any regrets because you really love him."
"What's the point of me loving him? I can't help him or give him anything."
"We wasted a lot of water washing our faces and taking showers every day. A drop of water does not seem precious enough to us, but for the people in the desert, it is more precious than gold. What you think is useless may actually be the most precious thing for Sean. Therefore, he still chose to forgive you even when he thought that you had betrayed him. Eli, the only way to not let Sean down is for you to live a better life," Stella said softly.
"You are indeed a psychologist. The words you said never fail to touch people's hearts. But, Stella, I feel sad, anxious, worried, and helpless now. I believe you could understand what I am feeling now, right?" Eli asked as she looked at Stella with teary eyes.
"Besides, you have been self-loathing and self-deprecating. You're thinking that if Sean dies, you will die with him. What if you can't die together with him? You think that it's better to stay and die together. You are pessimistic because you can't see the future. Every day, you feel distressed and sorrowful," Stella expressed her true feelings.
Eli pressed her lips together and fell silent.
"Eli, Sean will be fine. I trust that he is a very capable person. Those people will not be able to kill him that easily. After all, they rely very much on him. It will take time for Sean to solve the problem. In the meantime, try not to become his biggest problem when he is solving them," Stella said persuasively.
Eli took a deep breath and expressed her thoughts. "Stella, it's all because of Natasha that Sean couldn't return to the country. If the problem between them is resolved, then Sean will be able to return. He could banish those who are against him and keep those who are loyal to him. That way, he will be safe."
"It's not easy to make peace with the Griswell family," Stella said thoughtfully.
"Natasha and her family are still alive. She was imprisoned because she wanted to kill me. She was the one who offended Sean first. I believe that there will always be something that they need, right? Even if they don't, we could always create such a need."
"The Griswell family is attached to the Mccarthy family. They don't have to worry about money or power."
"But, the Harington family are royal relatives after all. If the Mccarthy family threatens the royal family, they will certainly do something, won't they?"
Stella asked nervously, "Eli, have you told anyone else about this?"
Eli shook his head and replied, "I don't have anyone to tell them to."
"You didn't tell Sean?"
"Sean can't go to Country M at the moment. It's too dangerous for him there, so there isn't a point for me to tell him these matters," Eli explained.
Stella had a bad feeling. If Eli could think of such a plan, maybe others had already thought of it as well. They may already be planning something.
She was afraid that there would be chaos.
Jasper's phone rang as soon as he parked his car in the northern yard.
After answering the phone, he told Stella with a solemn face, "Trouble in the Mccarthy family."
Stella was in disbelief.
