“This attack was on Eva, not on me. I can’t even imagine how that devil was planning to make her suffer.

“Wiliam, why didn’t you do something? File a complaint now,” Rose told William in rage.

"No, mom, that will not help, as we didn’t have any evidence against him.”

“I agree with Steve’s assertion. It is of utmost importance that the news of this attack does not become public, particularly to the media.”“

"We are already on it. And now you should take rest, ok?"

“I am...” the next moment Stephen‘s eyes landed on the door where Eva was standing, gaping at him. Stephen gave a small smile at her, and she entered the room in slow steps.

Rose, William, and Steve left the room to give them some privacy.

Eva sat close to him and held his hand. She placed a kiss on his hand, more tears dropped from her eyes, she wiped them first and then started with her words

“I am so sorry, Stephen. For everything… I know you are suffering because of me.”

“ It’s nothing like that, Eva.”

“ No! I know it’s all because of me, and you were right last night. You should know about the pregnancy first. I am sorry for being such a stupid girl.” Eva cried hard, sobbing, hiding her face with her hands.

Stephen held her hand close to himself and told her

“Look at me, Eva.”

Eva gaped at him. Stephen placed a kiss on her hand and spoke.

“Stop blaming yourself. You are not at fault for anything, and I am sorry for last night, as I behaved like a fool. I must have understood your emotions too, but what I did was start with an argument. And last but not least, I am madly deeply in love withthis stupid girl, so don’t dare to change yourself for anything, ok?”

Eva smiled in tears and tried to hug Stephen, but her act made Stephen wince.

“Oh, I am sorry, Stephen. Did I hurt you? Wait, I will call the doctor.

“ No.. It’s ok. I think you have to control your hormones around me., at least for some days.

“Shut up! “ Eva smacked on his arm, and Stephen again winced in pain

“Ooh my god I did it again, sorry Stephen. “

“ Eva, relax; I am fine." The next moment a team of doctors arrived to check on Stephen and Eva had to exit the room .

After exiting the room,. Eva spotted Samantha and Richard present in the hospital. They are busy talking with Rose and William. They all were discussing Stephen‘s health

Spotting Eva, they all advised Eva to have breakfast. Eva denied at first, but after a lot of persistence, she later agreed to have a sandwich.

Steve also reached out to them and discussed how they were successful in stopping the spread of the news of this attack.

Few hours later

The Smith family was sitting in Stephen‘s room. Eva was helping Stephen with his meals as he got wounded in the right shoulder.

Shortly, Eva received a call from Mr. Miller. Eva put the call on speaker and kept her focus on helping Stephen. Miller notified her about some important meetings with the clients. Eva wanted to deny, but Stephen signaled her to agree. Eva sighed but still agreed to attend the meeting

After disconnecting the call, Eva asked,
