Chapter 554 Clearly, this wasn't doing much to convince anyone.

Chelsea didn't really know Manuel. But sfolks, especially men, can be pretty two-faced. They might seem all charming and sophisticated on the outside, but deep down, they're anything but. They act all tolerant and generous, but in reality, they're just petty and small- minded. Honestly, who can really see through all that and know what someone's truly like? "I think you might've only seen the side he wanted to show you. But what about the real him?" Chelsea pointed out, making Eliza feel a pang of sadness. Chelsea had a point. She had only seen what Manuel wanted her to see. Why was he putting on such a perfect act? "He said he'd helpraise the baby, but then he poisoned me, causingto lose it... Chelsea, I don't understand what I did to make him want to harm me." First, there was Aaron, who tricked her with his perfect act just to bring her down. Now Manuel seemed to have the sdeadly agenda. What did she do to deserve this? From Chelsea's viewpoint, it was clear: if he couldn't have her, he'd rather destroy her. Men can be twisted like that sometimes, with their own brand of pettiness.

"Elle, try not to think about it right now. Just focus on resting. I'll get the baby formula tested. And..." she hesitated, but felt she had to warn Eliza, "if Manuel shows up at the hospital, be careful." If Manuel was really as bad as he seemed, he'd be more dangerous than Casper ever was. Casper was openly nasty, but Manuel was like a hidden virus, deadly to anyone he touched. Eliza nodded gently, "Don't worry." With that, Chelsea left to take care of things. Eliza leaned back against the headboard, feeling drained and ready for a nap. Just as she was about to close her eyes, Caleb walked into the room. "Sis." Eliza raised her heavy eyelids and sat up a bit, "Dr. Caleb." "Sis, you're being way too formal. Just callCaleb," he said with a faint smile. "How're you holding up? You should stay in the hospital a bit longer. The baby's okay for now, so try not to stress." "Does everyone in the Welton family know I'm pregnant?" Caleb wasn't exactly the best at keeping things under wraps. Once he knew something, it spread like wildfire. He rubbed his nose awkwardly, "I only mentioned it to Auntie." Eliza had figured as much. She didn't have the energy to get upset. Even if Caleb hadn't spilled the beans, her growing belly would've given it away eventually.

"Listen... even though my brother's gone, the Welton family's still here for you. If you need anything, just reach out. I'll be around Falconridge for now. If you need help with your prenatal check-ups or anything, I can sort it out." "Dr. Caleb, thanks for your kindness," Eliza replied, her tone neutral but polite. "No need to be so formal. We're family," Caleb said, trying to sound upbeat. Eliza gave a slight smile, "We're not family. Your brother... he divorced me." "Well... we're still family, one way or another." Caleb was adamant about being family, whether she liked it or not. Eliza didn't want to argue about it. Caleb meant well, likely reflecting the Welton family's intentions, m alright. You go do your thing 'm going to rest." "Okay, you take care."

With Caleb gone, Eliza finally dozed off. She wasn't sure how long she slept. But when she woke up the next morning when morning, the first thing she saw was a man's face, up close and personal, familiar yet frightening.

She almost screamed, her eyes,widening in fear. The content is on novelenglish.net!
