The little guy was sprawled out, the blanket pulled up to his chest, fast asleep.

Elysia eased herself down beside him, unable to resist touching his soft cheek.

Elijah was such a beautiful and adorable chilld. How could his mother bear to abandon him? What was she

thinking?

If it were Elysia, she'd never be able to leave him behind.

Even if she couldn't stand the kid's aloof father and had to leave, she'd find a way to take her baby with her!

She withdrew her hand from his cheek, intending to check his pulse.

Suddenly, her wrist was caught by a small hand.

“Mommy!”

Elysia froze.

Tarquin, who had been standing at the doorway, furrowed his brows.

Elijah’s eyes snapped open, fixing on Elysia.

She held her breath, petrified, fearing that any second now, Elijah might erupt in distress.

Elysia was dumbstruck. She blinked in bewilderment, looking from Elijah to Tarquin for skind of guidance,

When was the last this boy had been this happy?

“Daddy, why aren’t you excited? My mommy, your wife! She’s back! She won't leave us again! We don’t have to

be lonely anymore. Mommy's back!”

Seeing his son in this state, Tarquin started to panic

The last the had seen Elysia, he had been furious.

Why was it that this time, Elijah suddenly mistook her for his mother?

Had his fixation on his mother deepened?

Was his illness getting worse?

Tarquin’s frown deepened with concem. “Are you dreaming

“Huh? I'm not dreaming, Daddy Can't you see Mommy? Look, Mommy's right here.”

Tarquin turned to Elysia.

Elysia’s expression was serious, she had regained her composure. She locked eyes with Elijah and said gently.

“Elijah, look atand let's count together, okay?”

“Okay, whatever you say, Mommy!”

“Elijah!” Tarquin moved to step forward but stopped when he saw Elysia’s demeanor. He held back

He knew Elysia had hypnotized Elijah. Like other pediatric psychologists, she had always wanted the chance to

delve into Elijah’s psyche.

This was her opportunity

Tarquin didn’t want to interrupt and didn’t leave either, staying in place to keep them company.
