Ch. 726..730: The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy Chapter 726-730

Chapter 726 So Close Yet So Far

In the middle of the night, Maurice lay on the hospital bed, tossing and turning.

The same questions lingered in his mind.

Where was Eliana now? Who took her away? Was she alright? Did she also miss him and the children? Every time Maurice closed his eyes, Eliana's images flashed through his mind one after another.He couldn't fall asleep at all.

Finally, he gave up forcing himself to sleep.He stood up, took out a cigarette from the cigarette box, and walked to the balcony.He looked up and saw that the moon tonight was beautiful.

Maurice put the cigarette in his mouth, lit it, and took a deep drag.He looked up at the pale moonlight again, feeling sad and lonely.

What he didn't know was that on the balcony above him, there was a person who also felt the same.

"Alas!"

Eliana sighed.She leaned against the railing and looked down at her phone.She was watching the video of the twins playing on the beach.

As she looked at her children's cute faces in the video, her eyes moistened a little.

Since Eliana woke up in the hospital, she was left alone.She and her children had never been separated for so long, and she really missed them so much.

Fortunately, Branson promised her that after she was discharged from the hospital, she could see the children.

But when she thought of what the doctor had told her, she couldn't help frowning.

Yesterday, the doctor told her that because of the strong impact she had when she hit her head, she lost some of her memories.She couldn't remember things happened after she was back home.

Eliana could only vaguely recall that she came back to find out the truth about the bankruptcy of the Pierce family.

As for what happened next, she couldn't remember anymore.

Branson only told her that the White family found her and the children not long after she came back.

He also said that after the investigation, the truth about the bankruptcy of the Pierce family was revealed.

And Gerald of the Moran Group was the culprit.

Gerald wanted to take away Eliana's mother, so he played some dirty tricks to take down the Pierce Group, which eventually led to the destruction of the Pierce family.

Now, everything was settled.

Eliana could tell that Branson was not lying.

But was the truth really as what he said? If this was the case, shouldn't she be happy that the enemy was found? Why did she still feel empty? It was as if she still needed to find someone.

But whenever she tried to recall, her mind went blank.

Who was on her missing memory? While Eliana was in a daze, she loosened her left hand which was holding the phone by accident.

As a result, her phone fell downstairs.

At this moment, Maurice stubbed out his cigarette.

Then he heard a loud bang and a white object fell in front of him.

He was confused, not knowing what object had almost hit him.

‘Is It..a phone?"

Right then, familiar voices suddenly came from the phone.

"Mommy, come here!"

"Mommy, hurry up! The fish is running away!"

Was he hallucinating? Why did the voices sound like Aileen and Adrian? Maurice froze in an instant.He stared at the white phone in disbelief and subconsciously picked it up.

But unfortunately, as soon as he picked up the phone, it locked.

The screen instantly darkened, and the children’s voices disappeared.

Maurice's face turned gloomy.He stared at the phone, feeling uneasy.

Whose phone was this? Why did he hear Aileen's and Adrian's voices from there? Upstairs, Eliana looked at her empty hand, utterly shocked.

What if her phone hit someone? Did she hurt someone? Eliana quickly lowered her head and looked downstairs.

But her sight was blocked by the plants on the balcony, so she couldn't see anything at all.

But there was a little light in the ward downstairs, so there should be someone there.She decided to go downstairs and have a look.

If her phone really hit someone, she must apologize.

Eliana hurried downstairs, came to the door of the ward, and knocked gently.

Chapter 727 My Family Member Is An Old Woman

"Eliana? What are you doing here?"

Someone suddenly appeared behind Eliana.

Eliana was so startled that she shivered.

But when she turned around and saw it was Branson, she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.She said truthfully, "I accidentally dropped my phone on the balcony of someone's ward.I came down to apologize to the patient in this ward."

Branson walked up to her and said, "Let me help you."

But Eliana shook her head at once.

"It's okay.It's just a small thing.I can handle it."

Branson smiled.

"The wards on this floor are for VIP patients.Except for you, the rest of the patients here are elderly.If you meet an old man with a bad temper, you can't handle it well.Why don't you let me help you? You go back upstairs first."

Eliana pursed her lips and looked at the closed door of the ward.

If the patient here was really an old man with a strange temper, she couldn't handle it.

At the thought of this, she didn't refuse Branson's kindness anymore.

"Thank you, Branson.Please apologize to the patient on my behalf."

After Branson nodded, Eliana then turned around and went back upstairs.

The moment the elevator doors closed, the door of the ward opened.

Then Maurice stood at the door and looked at the strange young man in front of him indifferently.

"who are you?" he asked with a frown.

When Branson saw Maurice, his heart jolted, and he almost couldn't control the expression on his face.He didn't expect that Maurice was the patient in this ward.

Of course, he knew Maurice.But Maurice didn't know him.

When Branson didn't say anything, Maurice got impatient and was about to close the door.

"Wait..." Branson said.

Then he added politely, "I'm sorry, my family member is a patient in the VIP ward upstairs.She accidentally dropped her phone on the balcony just now.I wonder if you happen to see it."

Maurice was stunned for a moment.Did the phone really belong to this man's family member? He thought for a while and asked, "Are there children upstairs?"

"There are none.Why?"Branson replied with a frown.

Maurice took out the phone and said, "When the phone fell down just now, I heard children talking."

With a straight face, Branson explained, "My family member upstairs is an old woman.Every time she misses her grandchildren, she watches their videos.Maybe she was watching them when she dropped her phone."

"Oh, really?"

A trace of disappointment flashed through Maurice's eyes.He couldn't help laughing at himself.How could he think they were Aileen's and Adrian's voices? He must only be overthinking, and he'd better stop it.

"I'm sorry for what happened just now.Can I take the phone back?" Branson spoke again.

It was only then that Maurice came back to his senses.He forcibly suppressed the disappointment in his heart and handed the phone to Branson.

"I hope this won't happen again."

"Yes, I'll make sure of that.Thank you."

The moment Branson turned around with the phone in his hand, the expression on his face changed at once.He walked to a secluded corner, took out his phone, and called his assistant.

"Arrange for Eliana to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."

The assistant on the other end of the line was stunned.

"Mr.White, what's wrong? Miss Pierce hasn't recovered yet, right?"

The expression on Branson's face was solemn.He said coldly, "Maurice is in the ward downstairs now.Eliana must leave here as soon as possible.I can't let them meet."

The next day, Branson quickly finished the discharge procedures for Eliana.

Eliana didn't notice anything unusual, so she immediately agreed happily.

"Branson, after I leave the hospital, can I see Aileen and Adrian?" Eliana asked while packing her things excitedly.

Branson paused for a moment, then he prevaricated, "Your wound hasn't healed yet.I'll take you to them after it completely recovers."

"I'm fine now except for my hand.Why won't you let me see the children?" Eliana asked in confusion.

"Just wait a little longer," Branson objected impatiently.

As soon as he said this, Eliana stopped what she was doing and fixed her eyes on him.She finally realized that something was wrong.

Was he trying to limit her freedom? This made her feel a little uneasy.

The two children had never been separated from her for so long.

If she didn't go back, they would definitely not bear it.

Branson said it was for her and the children's good.

But the truth was, he had been restricting her freedom.He even hired a private nurse to watch over her every day.

There must be something fishy here.

Chapter 728 Change Clothes

Branson avoided eye contact with Eliana, feeling distressed.

Of course, he also wanted Eliana to reunite with the children.He even tried to secretly take the two children away before.

But Adrian and Aileen had been under Maurice's protection.His men didn't dare to alert Maurice, so they couldn't get close to the children.

"Eliana, trust me.I will reunite you with your children soon.Just give me time."

Branson had to make Eliana relieved, so he had no choice but to promise her.

But Eliana didn’t believe him anymore.She realized he wouldn't keep his word.

"Okay, then.Let's leave the hospital first."

She looked calm on the surface.But she had already made up her mind to escape.

Branson must have hidden many things about her past from her.

Since he didn't want to tell her, she would investigate by herself.

Now that Eliana had stopped insisting on seeing her children, Branson finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Eliana's private nurse quickly packed her things, and the three of them walked out of the ward together.

But before they could go out cf the hospital, Branson's phone suddenly rang.He stopped for a moment and answered it.

After listening to the person on the other end of the line, the look on his face changed slightly.He turned to the private nurse and ordered, "You take Eliana back first.I have something urgent to deal with."

"Okay, Mr.White," replied the private nurse, nodding respectfully.

Branson then looked at Eliana and said apologetically, "Eliana, I'm sorry that I can't be with you now.I really have to go."

Eliana smiled at him and said, "It's okay.Don't worry about me.I have the nurse with me anyway.Your work is the most important, so you go ahead now."

Her answer made him feel relieved.It was only then that he turned around and left.

Eliana watched Branson's receding figure until he disappeared from her sight.

Then she also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, if she returned to the White family’s house with Branson, it would be almost impossible for her to get out again.

Now that he was not around, and only the private nurse was with her, it was the best time for her to escape."Miss Pierce, let's go."

The private nurse was about to walk forward.

But an idea suddenly occurred to Eliana.

"I need to go to the restroom first.Can you wait for me for a moment? I'll be real quick."

"I'll go with you."

The private nurse put down the things in her hands, wanting to help Eliana.

Eliana refused in a hurry, "Thank you, but no need.I'll feel uncomfortable if you go with me."

The private nurse looked embarrassed.

"But Mr.White said..."

But before she could finish her words, Eliana interrupted her at once, "He didn't say I can't go to the restroom.Besides, we are in a hospital.where else can I go? If you are really worried about me, just wait for me at the door."

When the private nurse heard Eliana's suggestion, she reluctantly agreed.

Then Eliana walked into the restroom under her watch.

As soon as Eliana got inside the restroom, she started changing her clothes.She tied her long hair into a neat ponytail.

Then she took out lipstick and eyeliner from her backpack.She painted her lips with flaming red lipstick and her eyelids with dark red eye shadow.She also put on seductive eyeliner. She looked down at her white shirt and jeans.

Then she directly lifted up the hem of the shirt and tied it into a bowknot, revealing her slender waist.

Then she used the lipstick and eyeliner to scribble on her shirt casually.

Although she could only use her left hand, the result was not bad.

After the shirt was done, she moved to her jeans.She took out the nail clippers and made a drastic modification, directly cutting several holes in them.

Finally, she put on her dark and huge sunglasses.

In just a few minutes, she had transformed herself into a glamorous and sexy city girl.

Eliana looked at her reflection in the mirror.

Seeing that she was totally different from her appearance just now, she took a deep breath.

Next move could make or break her escape.

Eliana held her head high and swaggered out of the restroom.

Outside the restroom, the private nurse was waiting for her dutifully.She walked past the private nurse in a casual manner, but the private nurse didn't recognize her at all.

Eliana felt great.Her idea had worked.She suppressed the urge to jump for joy and walked away without looking sideways.

At this moment, the private nurse, who was still staring at the door of the restroom, suddenly had an ominous feeling.

She had been waiting outside for a long time, but Eliana had not come out yet.

At the thought of this, the private nurse rushed inside the restroom.

And much to her dismay, there was no one inside.

Eliana wasn't inside the restroom.But she guarded the door well.

How could Eliana escape? Then she suddenly remembered the beautiful woman who had just passed by her.

It was only then that she realized that figure seemed a little familiar.

That woman must be Eliana.She was tricked.

The private nurse was suddenly enlightened.She rushed out of the restroom and tried to chase after Eliana.

Chapter 729 I Think I Have Seen Mommy

The twins happened to arrive at the hospital when the nurse was chasing after Eliana.

Maurice and the kids hadn't seen each other for a few days and the kids weren't in a good mood, especially Aileen.Her red eyes showed that she had cried, and she wasn't as lively as usual.

Maurice felt his heart sink to see his daughter like that.He squatted down and touched the little girl's face lovingly.

"Aileen, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

"Daddy!"

Aileen buried her face in Maurice's arms and burst into tears.

"I'm worried about you, daddy.Mommy is missing and you are in trouble.I am so worried!"

Maurice couldn't bear to see his daughter cry and he did his best to cheer her up.

"Don't cry, okay? I'm fine.I'm going to leave the hospital today and stay with you and Adrian.I will find mommy, and our family will never be separated again.Okay?"

Hearing her father's promise, Aileen stopped crying.She reached out her hand and showed her little finger.

"Then let's make a pinky promise."

"Okay."

Maurice nodded and stretched out his finger.They two of them solemnly locked their pinkies.

"you should never break your promise!" Aileen said seriously.

Now that they had made a pact, Aileen was finally able to calm down.

At this time, Corbin walked over to Maurice with the medicine given by the nurse.

"Boss, it's time for you to take the medicine," Corbin said as he handed the medicine to Maurice.

Maurice took the pill and swallowed it directly.

After taking the medicine, Maurice subconsciously looked upstairs and asked, "Have you found out who lives upstairs?"

"Yes, I have.It should be some member of the White family.I've noticed that Branson has been coming in and out of this hospital a lot for a few days."

"The White family..."

Maurice was stunned and lost in his own thoughts.So, the man who knocked on the door that day was none other than Branson! Maurice felt a little irritable.

For some time now, he had the feeling he had missed something important, but he really couldn't figure out what it was.

After pondering for a while, he said to Corbin beside him, "Take the kids out first.I'll come down soon."

"Alright, boss."

Corbin then took Aileen from Maurice's arms and then walked out of the ward with the twins.

When they arrived at the hall, Aileen suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

"Mommy!"

Aileen murmured, looking around anxiously.

Adrian, who was standing next to her, noticed the strange look on his sister's face and asked, "Aileen, what's wrong? What are you looking for?"

"Brother, I think I saw mom just now!" Aileen said uncertainly.

"You mean mommy is here?"

Adrian's eyes lit up and he looked around excitedly.

Alas, he saw nothing.It seemed that his sister missed their mom so much that she had a hallucination.

Adrian held Aileen's hand tightly and comforted her, "Aileen, dad said he would bring mommy back safely, right? Don’t worry too much, okay?"

Aileen didn’t say anything and just lowered her head in disappointment.She thought that she might have been mistaken just now.

How could her mommy be here? Meanwhile, Branson had just got the news and he was rushing back to the hospital.

Eliana was trying her best to escape from here.

Unfortunately, even after running around the hospital for a long time, she couldn't find a way to escape.She was so panicked that she didn't realize her children were near.

Having just recovered from a serious illness, Eliana was still very weak and couldn't run any more.She eventually had no other choice but to go back to the ward.

Seeing that Branson was getting closer and closer to her, Eliana quickly opened the door of the nearest ward and hid in.

It just so happened that the ward she was hiding in was Maurice's.

Maurice was naked at this time as the nurse had just changed his medicine and he hadn't had time to put on his clothes.

Eliana's eyes widened in shock when she saw a man standing naked in front of her.

Chapter 730 The Woman On The Bed Is Mine

Compared to Eliana’s panic and shock, Maurice was stunned on the I spot.He wondered if he was only dreaming.

Otherwise, how could he see Eliana now? Out of nowhere, the person he had been thinking of day and night appeared in front of him.He thought he was daydreaming.

At this moment, Maurice seemed to have forgotten everything else.He stared at Eliana, not even daring to blink.He was afraid that if he blinked, she would disappear in the next second.

Although Eliana covered her eyes, she could still fee] his burning gaze.It was as if he saw through her.

As time passed by, Eliana froze in place, feeling extremely embarrassed.She didn't dare to move.

"Well, I...I think I'd better go out."

After saying this, Eliana rested her hand on the doorknob to open the door and go out.It was only then that Maurice came back to his senses.

When he saw -I that she was about to leave, he subconsciously walked forward and said to her in a daze, "Eliana, is that you?"

when she heard a strange man suddenly call out her name, she even .I forgot to cover her eyes.She turned around in confusion and exclaimed, "Who are you? Why do you know my name? Do you know I me?"

Maurice stood very close to Eliana.He was so close that he could fee] her breathing and heartbeat.And he was stunned again.It seemed that he couldn't hear anything at all.

And there was only one thought in his mind.

This was not a dream.

Eliana really came back.

And she was standing in front of him now, alive.

Maurice could no longer suppress the surging emotions in his heart.He reached out and held Eliana in his arms tightly.

"Eliana, you're finally back." He held her so tightly that she could hardly breathe.

When Eliana saw the excitement on Maurice's face, her head was full of questions.But at this moment, hurried footsteps sounded outside the door.

Eliana felt anxious at once.

Branson must have caught up with her.Her face turned pale in fright.She had no choice but to ask the strange man hugging her for help.

"Sir, please let go of me.Someone is chasing me.Please help me get rid of him."

Maurice let go of Eliana and stared at her.What did she just call him? The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Eliana became more anxious.

"Please hurry up!"

It was only then that Maurice came back to his senses.He said, "Come with me."

He pulled Eliana to the bed, wanting to cover her with the quilt.

Eliana was shocked by his actions.

She immediately held his hand and asked in fear, "What are you doing?"

Maurice explained in a deep voice, "You hide here first.I'll deal with him."

Eliana had no choice but to follow his arrangements.She quietly hid under the quilt.

As soon as she lay down and covered herself, there was a knock on the door.

Branson was already standing outside the door of Maurice's ward.He looked at the closed door with a frown.

Could it be that Eliana was hiding inside Maurice's ward? He didn’t want to believe it, but he still knocked on the door.

Soon, the door was opened.

Then Maurice stood in front of him with an unbuttoned shirt.

Maurice asked with his usual expression, "You? What's the matter?"

"I'm sorry.The elderly woman ran away, and I couldn't find her anywhere.Can I go in and look for her?" Branson explained.

When Maurice heard this, he sneered, "It seems that your family member is very healthy.How can she run all the way, and you even have to chase after her?"

Branson couldn't directly say that he was not looking for an elderly person.So he could only lie with a little embarrassment, "My family member has always been strong.And today, she wants to go home to see the children.I can't stop her."

"Oh, really?"

Maurice didn't say whether he believed Branson or not.But he glanced at the people behind Branson and stepped aside to make way for them.

"Well, come in." Branson walked into the ward and looked around.

Then his eyes landed on the protruding bed.He frowned and slowly walked towards the bed.

Right now, Eliana was hiding under the quilt.She was so nervous that she felt like her heart was about to jump out.

Damn! It was too obvious.

Branson would definitely find her.

At this critical moment, Maurice stood in front of Branson to stop him.

Branson stopped beside the bed and asked coldly, "Who is this?"

The corner of Maurice's mouth curled up slightly.He said, "The woman on the bed is mine.I'm afraid it's not convenient for you to see her."

Branson looked at Maurice's exposed chest disdainfully.

"If I remember correctly, your bride disappeared not long after you got married.Do you already have a new girlfriend?"
