Chapter 307 “It’s What I Owe Him”
Upon seeing Elijah, Sivin nearly lost his balance.
How did he end up here?
“When did he arrive?” Sivin pulled the doctor aside and asked in a hushed voice.
The doctor whispered back, “Just now. He kicked us all out and seems to be packing Dr Stone’s things.”
Sivin panicked. Freya had repeatedly instructed him to make sure everything was put away.
What should he do?
“Dr Peters, what’s wrong with you?” The doctor looked at Sivin, sensing that something was off.
Sivin quickly shook his head and said, “Nothing, everyone should stop standing around here. Go back to your duties.”
The people in the corridor dispersed.
Sivin couldn’t bear to face Elijah directly because he felt guilty. He turned and walked away, not daring to go inside.
Inside the office.
There was a row of desks, eerily empty. Elijah sat in Freya’s seat. Her desk was piled with books, documents, patient records, and various forms. On top of it all was a picture frame containing a sketch of Kai, drawn by Freya.
Kai smiled sweetly, revealing his two little teeth, with drool hanging from the corner of his mouth. His eyes were round and bright, full of life. Because of his smile, they sparkled like shining stars.
Elijah picked it up and examined it carefully. The drawing was done really well, showing that Freya put a lot of effort into it. This woman was a talented artist as well as a professional doctor. And she was really good at it. Her hands were not only skilled with a scalpel, but also with playing the piano. Her music was enchanting. She had a slender figure, dancing gracefully, exuding sensuality and charm. It was this woman who unexpectedly entered his life, taking away his heart. And now, she heartlessly left him behind.
If it weren’t for Kai’s presence, Elijah sometimes felt like he had been living in a dream.
Suddenly, a pen fell off the table. As he bent down to pick it up, he noticed the drawer and reached out to open it. Inside, there was the notebook that Sivin had given to Freya, but what caught his interest was the envelope. In this age of advanced technology, not many people wrote letters anymore.
Who wrote a letter to her?
Elijah put down the pen and picked up the letter. His fingers paused for a moment, then quickly opened it.
There was indeed a letter inside. Did Freya have any secrets hidden from him? The thought crossed his mind, and he unfolded the letter with even more precision.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
The letter unfolded before his eyes, and Freya’s name caught his attention.
Freya,
I learned your name from Sivin Peters, I hope you don’t mind me addressing you this way.
I have been thinking for a long time about writing this letter to you.
I feel like I have so much to say, but I don’t know where to start.
When I found out that you were Elijah’s wife, I was shocked. He got married, and I had no idea.
Yes, I actually remembered everything during my second surgery.
But instead of exposing Eric Lowe, I chose to pretend that I knew nothing and continued living with him, even… abandoning my own child.
I am not a qualified mother, nor a qualified wife.
I am sorry to my husband, and even more sorry to Elijah.
After I recovered, I didn’t go to find him.
I… I am also human, and during the time I lived with Eric Lowe, I developed feelings for him.
It was because I changed my heart, that I didn’t dare to face the past.
And even more so, I didn’t dare to face my son.
I am writing this letter to you.
Just to ask you, please take good care of him.
The Silverton family is not a warm place, and it won’t be easy for him to grow up safely.
If his first half of life is destined to be without the warmth of a family, I hope that in the second half, you can give him a home.
I can tell that you are a gentle and delicate girl.
With you taking care of him, I feel relieved.
I know this surgery is very dangerous, and I don’t know if I will come out of it safely. If I can’t, this might be my farewell letter.
By the way, that ring was given to me by Elijah’s father when we got married.
I originally planned to pass it on to my daughter-in-law in the future.
But I didn’t expect to give it to you in this way.
Please keep the contents of this letter confidential. I don’t want Elijah to know that I… betrayed his father and him.
I would rather he always believe that I was with Eric Lowe because of my memory loss.
If something happens during the surgery and Elijah seeks revenge, please save his life.
It’s what I owe him.
