Chapter 174

She is you two problem now The night has been one of the hardest for both Elijah and Peach, sleeping in separate rooms, away from each other‘s touch and comfort, and unable to sleep properly because they couldn‘t seem to stop craving each other‘s warm bodies.

And when the morning arrived, Peach was staring at the sunrise through the hospital window and wishing that all of this was just a bad dream. But she knew it was not when she saw her mother sleeping on the couch by her side.

When Miss Grace opened her eyes, she weakly smiled and asked,” How do you feel now.”

“I can‘t believe I am going to be spending four months away from him…” Peach whispered, trying not to start crying again because she felt tired from how much sobbing she did that night.

“Elijah will be visiting you.” Miss Grace said, waking from the couch.

Then she approached the bed and sat down, taking Peach‘s hand in her own and caressing her knuckles with her thumb.

“You know it’s not the same, mama.” Peach whispered with a shaky smile.

“I know honey. But you have to be strong for your baby, Elijah, and you. What you are doing is risky, and I fear for your life. But this is your choice to make, and we won‘t take that from you… But still…” Miss Grace said, looking away from her daughter as she held her tears in her eyelids. “It hurt so bad. I am afraid… I don‘t want to lose you.” Suddenly, Peach pulled her mother into a tight hug, knowing that she couldn‘t let her see the fear she felt beam in her eyes… She

didn‘t want anyone to know just how scared and lost she truly felt about the situation she was facing.

With his back resting against the bed, Elijah sat on the cold tiles, staring at the ceiling without blinking, listening to the silence in the room that hunted him.

“I am doing the right thing… This is what she wants, and I should respect her body.” Elijah whispered, letting out a slow breath.

Then he squeezed his eyelid shut and screamed, “But why does the right thing hurt so fucking bad!! I do not want to keep guessing who is going to make it out of this alright… Both of them, or if I will still have to fucking choose at the end who to save! Why?! Why??”

A knock on his door made Elijah flinch, and then he look up at the door opening to see Mr. Maxwell standing in the doorway with this hesitant look on his face.

Drying his eyes, Elijah woke from the floor and then met his father‘s gaze, asking, “What is it?”

“About what happened last night, I thought that you should know that Melina seduce the governor‘s son, had sex with him, and talked him into bringing her to the party…” Mr. Maxwell explained calmly, giving his son a little frown.

“Where is she now?” Elijah asked.
