Eloise’s POV:
I suddenly felt as if I had lost all my strength when I signed my name. However, I persevered as much as possible as I looked at the people sitting around my bed.
Almost everyone’s face was expressionless. This was not their usual professional front, but I still couldn’t help but feel sad.
I was finally going to marry Atticus again. Moreover, I was willing to do so.
I’d long thought this might be the case, but it seemed a little too fast. I was not even ready for this.
This was not what I wanted, but I couldn’t think of a better way for the time being. I still looked too weak in the face of the pack and these powerful human families. I needed more time.
However, our agreement stated that we would appear as a couple first. If the rift between us couldn’t be repaired, we wouldn’t get married.
This result was far better to accept than any other situation because at least it truly considered Atticus and my feelings.
Atticus left after he received the contract. I didn’t intend to continue to hang around with him, so I didn’t say anything more to him.
However, from his back profile, I could tell he was angry. He might be in a terrible mood, but I didn’t know where it came from. Did I not give him enough choices?
At the very least, we’d already solved each other’s problem.
I found the doctor again. My condition wasn’t too serious, so I quickly got permission to leave the hospital. After some simple preparations, I could go. I didn’t want to inform Atticus about this because it didn’t seem necessary. We just needed a few days. It was enough to act like a real couple at the party. As for the matter of the daughter, I didn’t say much to him because I realized that he had already noticed something was wrong.
I walked out of the hospital. Soren was waiting for me at the door as if he knew I would come out.
I’d come to some agreement with Atticus. I didn’t want to hide this from him; I think he should have known about it just now. After all, he and Chloe introduced me to my legal team.
They were the people I trusted the most in this world.
“From now on, I can’t avoid him in my life,” I calmly said. I didn’t feel sad at all when I thought about this.
“I know. That’s why I want to talk to you.” He was very calm.
I didn’t know what he wanted to say, but I nodded and sat in the front passenger seat. He started the car and looked like he had a lot to say, but he quickly shut his mouth.
It confused me, but I couldn’t say more in this situation.
“Of course, our team of lawyers will not have any problems. I believe they won’t let you suffer a loss in this matter. I want to say that you shouldn’t be discharged yet.” After turning a corner, he finally spoke.
I knew he would say that sooner or later, but I didn’t care. After all, there was no way to change it now.
“I feel I’ve already recovered to the point where I can communicate normally.” I sighed and shook the bag full of medicine in my hand.
“These things can support the rest of my rationality.”
After all, there was no way to restore a broken mate connection. It was unlikely that I’d be able to disconnect from Atticus in this situation. Therefore, this seemed to be the most appropriate way to deal with it.
He just looked at me and didn’t say anything else. However, I could see more from his eyes. He seemed to be very sad.
“Then, welcome home,” he said.
“No matter what decision you make, I will support you. You will never have to worry about this..”
