Chapter 287: Chapter 283

"Ms. Brooks, sorry, I know I shouldn’t be making calls while on duty, but he just keeps..." Hannah wiped her eyes, which were already red from frustration.

"Don’t sweat it. I think you don’t need to argue with that jerk. If you’re worried about your parents, I’ll go with you to pick them up after Christmas. Get them away from that bastard for good." I handed back her phone, trying to comfort her.

Hannah finally broke down in tears.

Damon came downstairs at this point, but he didn’t say anything. He just went to have dinner in the dining room.

Once Hannah was calmed down, I went back to my meal.

I was quiet due to my deep thoughts, and Damon, being the cold fish he was, didn’t say much. If I still trusted him, I would’ve mentioned Nick. But there was no need now

"Come to the hospital with me tomorrow," Damon suddenly said without looking at me.

"The hospital? What’s wrong?" I was taken aback.

"We’re going for a check-up," Damon finally looked up at me. His eyes were cold and indifferent.

I was slightly surprised but kept my cool. "What are we checking?"

Damon’s gaze drifted down as if looking at my belly, but it was blocked by the table. Then he looked back at me and asked, "Have you been taking birth control pills without my knowledge?"

Upon hearing this, I heaved a sigh of relief. I was worried that Damon would find out about my possible infertility. Jones wouldn’t use this against me. If he did, I would never forgive him.

"No," I answered straightforwardly. I had no reason to.

"You’re not lying to me, are you?" Damon seemed somewhat skeptical

"What’s the point in lying? Birth control pills are bad if you take too many. I’m not crazy," I said lightly. "I actually want a baby."

Every time I saw pictures of Luna’s kids, I felt envious.

If I could have another child, I wouldn’t care who the father was as long as it was mine

I couldn’t say this to Damon, or he would be pissed.

"Then let’s go back to my parents house tomorrow to celebrate Christmas with my parents this year," Damon didn’t mention the hospital check-up again but suggested celebrating Christmas with his parents.

I quickly found an excuse to decline. "Let’s just celebrate Christmas here, my mom is here, and it’s not convenient for her to move."

Damon paused, furrowing his brows, apparently unable to rebut my reason. After all, it wasn’t right to leave my mom here alone while we went to his parents house. Even if she had someone to take care of her, it wasn’t appropriate.

"Alright, I’ll let them know Damon had finished his meal and then brought up another matter, ’I’ve taken care of all the crap online. You don’t need to worry."

I had already arranged for the false rumors about me to be handled by a PR team, but I have to admit Coleman Co’s PR team was more powerful and efficient.

I quietly ate my meal, not even uttering a "thank you"

Damon naturally sensed my unstable mood, but he didn’t inquire; he just went upstairs to take a shower. When I went upstairs, I could still hear the sound of running water from the master bathroom.

I was feeling tired today. I didn’t feel like showering, so I just changed into my pajamas and went to bed.

After a while, Damon came out wrapped in a towel. The white towel was tied low around his waist, exposing his well-defined abs. He looked perfect

"Why did you come to bed so early?" Damon asked me.

"I’m a bit tired and want to sleep," I closed my eyes, pretending to be ready to sleep.

Damon chuckled. He sat on the edge of the bed, then gently lifted my chin, forcing me to turn my head and open my eyes to look at him, "Sleep? I can’t sleep"

My heart immediately raced; every time Damon had that look in his eyes, I felt like he was about to make a move on me, and he always did. But I was somewhat resistant towards him now. The picture kept popping up in my mind, and I felt like I had been deceived again.

"Damon, I think I just got my period," I found an excuse to fend him off.

Upon hearing this, Damon’s face immediately changed; it was filled with irritation as he asked, "Today?"

"Yeah, just now," I lied.

"I want to check" Unexpectedly, Damon gave me a fright with his words.

Before I could respond, he had already lifted the blanket and reached for my legs.

I hurriedly clamped my legs together and couldn’t help but curse at him, "Are you sick?!"

Seeing me avoiding him, Damon’s eyes immediately turned serious, and said, "Spread your legs!"

"No way, I just got my period. Aren’t you disgusted?" I stubbornly replied.

"I’ll know when I see. You know what happens if you lie to me." Damon ordered coldly. "Spread them; don’t make me repeat myself a third time."

I should’ve used a different excuse.

That asshole Damon simply used his hands to pry me open. My thighs couldn’t resist his strength, and I was exposed.

I didn’t have my period, and my underwear was clean.

"Eliana, are you lying to me?" Damon took a deep breath and looked up at me with gritted teeth, "You just don’t want me touching you?"

"I’m just really tired today," I answered, somewhat flustered.

And wasn’t he with Ariel last night?

Thinking about that situation, I felt uncomfortable and wanted to avoid Damon’s touch.

Damon’s face turned pale, then flushed, and he sat up straight. Even though he was looking at my naked legs, he didn’t touch me again, "You’re not tired, you just don’t want me touching you, I get it."

He got up to get his pajamas and said, "I’ll sleep in the study"

I was speechless, watching Damon leave. But I didn’t feel relieved.

I had a restless night. Since I returned to Starlight Estates, I hardly had a good night’s sleep. Either Damon was constantly seeking me out, or I was unable to sleep due to some matters.

Due to lack of sleep, I started to feel unwell. Sometimes, I felt discomfort in my chest. I passed away due to breast cancer in my past life, so I was extremely worried about encountering it again.

In addition, I was also worried about possible heart conditions.

I had been mulling over the idea of getting a check up at the hospital after Christmas because health was everything.

The next day. I was out cold until noon. Just as I was about to head downstairs, I froze. I found myself standing on the staircase, unsure whether to go up or down.

Did Damon’s parents drop by?

"Eliana, you’re up! Come over here, and I’ve brought some home-raised chickens and ducks for you guys." Lisa Coleman’s face lit up with a joyful grin when she saw me.
