Chapter 21 Proceeding with Caution
Standing on the spot, Eleanor seemed to be pondering about something. Why did Madison want to meet her at 11 o'clock in the evening?
Why did she want to meet her late at night?
Eleanor began to analyze the current situation. Madison had been driven to the backyard and Old Master Moore had also given her a warning through Waylon's matter.
Everyone living in this manor had hidden motives. Old Master Moore liked lurking behind the scenes to observe the dramas unfolded and discern who was good and who was bad.
Sebastian was still unconscious and Old Master wouldn't allow Michael, who was very gloomy and ambitious, to take control of Sebastian's company.
Although Sebastian's company was also under the Moore Group, it was an independent company and was separate from the Moore family's business.
What Michael coveted was Sebastian's company. Moreover, he'd always been a patient person.
But her sudden appearance had disturbed his plan, so Michael wouldn't let her off easily.
As Sebastian was still unconscious, she could only rely on herself.
After thinking this through, Eleanor went to the kitchen to prepare lunch for her son.
After having lunch with Waylon, Eleanor fed Sebastian some medicine and gave him acupuncture when no one noticed her.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Then she began to accompany her son and talked to him. Even if Waylon wouldn't respond, she was still willing to tell him stories!
She felt much reassured as she could catch a fleeting smile on her son's face from time to time.
After dinner, Eleanor washed some grapes and carried them upstairs to feed her soon.
Her phone rang when she reached the staircase.
She took a glance at the screen and smiled gently. Then she turned around and went downstairs to answer the call.
"Nathan," she said in a smiling voice, looking totally different from the cold, gloomy Eleanor at usual times.
"Ellie, how have you been?" Nathan Colton's voice had always been so gentle. He looked very sweet when he smiled.
It was true that men's smiles would always make women feel sweet.
"Nathan, everything is going smoothly here. How about you?" Eleanor subconsciously softened her voice.
"I'm doing well. The formula you researched has made an outstanding performance in clinical trials and we're preparing to shock everyone in the industry with your Fragrant Condensed Pill at the Medical Exchange Seminar next quarter. I'm confident that it'll outdo Fragrant Pill." Nathan's gentle voice was filled with confidence. He was knowledgeable, talented, handsome, and wealthy. And he always delivered on his promises.
"Nathan, I feel at ease with you dealing with this."
"Ellie, be careful. I will come back after the exchange seminar."
"Okay, Nathan. Don't worry about me. And goodbye."
Nathan replied in a gentle, husky voice, "Goodbye."
A warm smile lingered on Eleanor's lips, radiating sweetness under the sunlight.
Nathan was the person who had saved her and her sons six years ago. His mother was a very excellent surgeon and thanks to the numerous surgeries performed by his mother, plus the efficacious ointment that she made, her face had recovered so well.
Now that she had returned for revenge, she had to proceed with caution. She didn't want Nathan to get involved.
Eleanor calmed her emotions before turning back. But her phone rang again just as she'd taken several steps.
It was April calling.
"April."
"Ellie, I've sent all the information you want to your mailbox. But Sebastian's men are all looking for you tirelessly. They swore to leave no stone unturned." April was a very gentle woman and her voice was melodious, making people associate it with the pure, soft clouds in the sky.
"Okay. April. Thank you for your hard work. But it's not the time yet. Let's wait patiently. We should wait until Sebastian wakes up. The rest of the treatment will be handed over to another me." Eleanor thanked April smilingly. The person that Sebastian's men were looking for was also Eleanor, her sock puppet.
"Ugh, insincere flattery makes me uncomfortable. I'm hanging up and playing with my godsons."
Eleanor then ended the call. The surveillance in the Moores' manor was so useless and she must find out who had poisoned her son on her own. Luckily, she'd arranged someone into the manor.
Carrying the grapes, she went upstairs and pushed open the door. Then she snapped to look at the man who was sitting on the bed and the grapes in her hand fell to the ground with a "thud".
