Page 74 of My Tempting Woman

The next morning, the news of Elena Thompson spread like a fire. It shocked even the Smith family to believe this. They tried to contact the Thompson couple, but they were not in a condition to talk

Rose was having her breakfast with William. They were discussing Elena’s incident

“It’s very shocking. How the hell did this happen and who must have done it?“

“I don’t know, but the investigation is still going on.

“What are the doctors suggesting?"

“We know little, but the media is telling us that she is in critical condition and under the observation of a team of doctors."

Steve was listening to this conversation while having his breakfast, and so was Stephen.

“Don’t discuss these things with Eva. I don’t want her to get more traumatized." William told Rose, on which she gave a nod to him.

When Stephen was starting for his office, Steve called him from behind, so Stephen turned around to face Steve

“You did the right thing. Elena deserves this punishment. ”

Stephen didn’t respond and got settled in his car. He was thinking about Steve and how well his brother knows him. He decided he will not send Steve to Australia; he will just send Steve whenever his presence is essential there

It was evening when William called Stephen and told him to accompany him to pay a visit to the Thompson family at the hospital. As they were their business associates too, Rose didn’t want to leave Eva alone. Stephen wanted to deny it at first butthen he got interested in watching Elena’s suffering so he agreed with his dad

Shortly after they reached the hospital, as expected, they admitted Elena Thompson to the most expensive hospital in a VIP room.

In the lobby, William found Mr. Thompson, who was sitting with a slumped shoulder. William reached out to him and asked about Elena’s health. Stephen was listening to the conversation with interest, keeping his stern face.

“I didn’t know William how my daughter reached the basement. The cops are searching for CCTV footage but in that too, they are only spotting her leaving for the washroom

“To our bad luck, there are no cameras in the basement. “

“Don’t worry, the cops will find it out soon. But how is Elena doing now?”

Thompson gave a deep sigh. “not good. She got injured badly. The doctors are treating it, but it will take some time to heal, and that is not our concern, but her mental health is “

“Mental health. What do you mean?”

“She is behaving weird after gaining her consciousness. She got scared of the slightest sound. Elena is continuously talking about rats, but the cops and my security team searched the whole place, and there is no trace of any rats.

The doctor is suggesting that this incident must have affected her mental balance, so we need to see a good psychiatrist for her. “

Stephen was celebrating every word for her misery; she deserved all this as she hurt his most precious possession.

After talking for some more time, William and Stephen took their leave, as doctors restricted visitors from meeting Elena.

When they returned home, Stephen was still worried about Eva’s health. He got to freshen up first, then he checked on her. He reached her room and knocked on it, but in return, he heard some sobbing sound, so he rushed inside.

Eva was busy talking to her dad. She was weeping more than talking, and her dad was trying to console her from the other side, whereas Rose was trying to console her.

“I miss you, dad, I miss our home too Please, dad, I want to see you."

Eva was complaining to her dad, and Michael was trying to handle his daughter.

After the call got over, Rose made Eva sleep. Stephen also left the room.

That night Stephen asked Rose, “Why don’t Mr. Johnson visit here?" I mean, if she is missing him so much.”

“Well, maybe it’s a little tough for him as the responsibility of that project is on his shoulder and he is too busy with it. I will talk to him as it will be good for her.
