Don’t leave, okay?”
“Take your medicine first,” I said calmly but firmly.
“No! I won’t have it if you’re just going to leave me!” He frowned in displeasure.
I was stunned. Such a sight was so familiar.
Caleb looked and acted just like Elena whenever she got sick.
Angela’s Library
Did Elena inherit her stubbornness from her father?
Feeling helpless, I had no choice but to promise him.
“Okay, I won’t leave tonight. Can you please take the medicine now? It’s for your own good, you know.”
“Okay, but you have to keep your end of the deal.”
Caleb finally Looked relieved and obediently took his medicine.
After lying down, he suddenly asked in a low voice, “Debra, did someone try to talk to me when I was in a coma?”
Debra’s POV:
Elena had called Caleb her daddy when he was in a coma.
I couldn’t help but feel a Little guilty. Was Caleb actually aware that his daughter was there?
Maybe it was time to tell him the truth. After all, we had gone through too much together.
Ivy echoed my sentiments. “Honey, he’s Elena’s father. He has the right to know the truth. And you two need to start being honest with each other. Keeping secrets is a recipe for disaster.”
“Yeah, okay.”
Ivy was right.
I took a deep breath to pluck up all my courage. I was finally ready to tell Caleb the secret. However, when I looked up, I found that he had fallen asleep because of the drowsy effect of the pills
After a moment of stunned silence, I swallowed back the words I was going to say.
“Forget it,” I muttered in disappointment.
“Ivy, I’ll tell him when he wakes up. I’d better let him rest for now.”
Ivy didn’t have any objection. She just reiterated, “But whatever happens, you have to tell him, okay? You can’t escape anymore.”
I agreed. She was right.
I tucked him in carefully to make sure he wouldn’t catch a cold. Then after one last glance at his peaceful, sleeping face, I left the bedroom.
