The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective
Chapter 382 - 382: Can't Love Two Men At The Same Time
Erick left Elle in his room. He went out to see his mother and father who were waiting for him to explain what's going on.
Sarah and Raymond had also seen Elle's face. Though unlike Erick, they couldn't recognize her right away since the light in his room was a little bit dim.
But after hearing her voice and the words she said in the recording, they somehow suspected that the person was Elle.
When Erick got out of his room, Sarah and Raymond were already waiting for him in the living room.
Sarah looked at him worriedly. "Son, why is it you suddenly left the hospital? Where did you go? Is there something wrong?"
Erick just smiled at her faintly and said, "No Mom, everything is fine now. I just went out to see someone and confirmed something."
"Son… about the video, Can you explain it to us? Is Elle alive? The woman in the video is Elle, isn't she?" Raymond asked him, feeling hopeful. He wanted to know if Ma. Belle was alive.
"Yes… but Mom and Dad, can I make a request from both of you? Can you keep this as a secret as of now? The person who is after her life is still roaming around in this City. I don't want her life to be in danger once again especially if her identity will be revealed to others."
Sarah and Raymond agreed on Erick's request. They didn't want that to happen. They wanted to protect her.
"I want to see her." His father said to him.
"I will talk to her, Dad. But as of now, she is not yet ready to face you." Erick honestly said to them.
"Why? I missed her already. I wanted to see my daughter, Elle." Sarah insisted.
Erick just let out a chuckle. He was glad that his parents cared so much about Elle.
"Don't worry, Mom. I will convince her. You will meet her soon. She was just afraid that you might hate her because of her identity. She doesn't know the truth that we already knew her true identity. She's Uncle Cedrick's daughter. I am planning to tell her that."
"Ok son! Please convince her. Tell her that I missed her so much and I wanted to see her." Sarah softly said, feeling a little bit disappointed since Elle didn't want to see them yet.
"Okay, Mom," Erick said meaningfully.
'But for now, I wanted to spend time with her alone, Mom. I am sorry for being selfish and greedy. Elle and I have so many things to catch up with.' Erick thought to himself while stealing a glance at the closed door of his bedroom.
Meanwhile, the girl they were talking about was just lying on Erick's bed. She didn't sleep well in the hospital last night, that's why she was a little bit drowsy as of this moment.
She wondered what Erick and his parents were doing outside. She also missed them, especially Sarah. She doted on her so much, treating her like her own daughter. She felt the mother's love from her.
'Mom, Dad… too bad, our Reunion with Erick's family didn't happen. I know Mom and Mom Sarah would really get along well.' Elle thought to herself.
Then suddenly she sat up and leaned her back on the headboard of the bed.
"Should I tell Erick that I am Ma. Belle? Hmmm, I wonder how he will react once he finds out." Elle mumbled.
She was staring at the closed door when someone crossed her mind. It was James.
"I reconciled with Erick but why is it my heart is not yet at ease? I feel sorry for him." Elle looked down. She was having conflicting thoughts as of this moment.
"[email protected]! I feel so guilty about using James for my revenge. He doesn't deserve this. I owe him my life." Elle mumbled while feeling down.
She had to admit but James was the one who was stopping her from telling the whole truth from Erick. She also cared for James. She appreciated everything he had done for her for the past two years.
James became her pillar of support in those difficult times. Deep down inside, she didn't want him to get hurt. But Elle couldn't help it. She couldn't return the love he was giving her. Her heart was only beating for Erick.
"What should I do now?" Elle buried her face using both hands.
She thought her internal battle would be gone after she told Erick the truth… but now, here she was… having a lot of troubling thoughts. How she wished she knew how to fix this.
Of all the people who could have saved her, why James? She really felt indebted to him. She even saw the other side of James. He was also loving and caring. He was a great man.
If there's no Erick then maybe she would also fall for James. But she couldn't love two men at the same time. Now everything became more complicated between the three of them.
She was torn between these two men who also became important to her. Both of them were her saviors. One guy was a friend who loved her so much and was willing to do anything for her.
And the other one was the guy she truly loved who accepted her despite her dark side and who was also willing to do anything just to protect her. Of course, Erick also loved her as much as James.
She was lost in her train of thoughts when Erick entered the room. He immediately approached Elle and engulfed her into his arms. His touch awakened her from the dazed.
"Erick." She mumbled in surprise. Since she was lost in her thoughts, she didn't notice that Erick was already inside.
"Are you bored? Did I make you wait that long?" Erick asked her tenderly.
Elle smiled and shook her head.
"How's Dad and Mom?" Elle promptly asked him.
"They're just fine. They wanted to see you but unfortunately, you refused to see them." Erick answered him directly.
Elle was taken aback after hearing that.
"They already knew that I was alive?" Elle asked him to confirm it.
Erick bobbed his head, "Yeah, they knew."
"Huh? Why? And How? Did you tell them?" Elle exclaimed with disbelief.
"Hey calm down. Don't accuse me like that wifey. It was you." Erick told her while grinning from ear to ear.
"What do you mean it was me?" Elle looked at him confusedly.
Erick suddenly burst out laughing as he remembered how Elle blew her cover.
"It was your fault for sneaking into someone else's house at midnight."
Elle's eyes widened after hearing that.
'What is he talking about? Did he know that I was here when he was sick? But how?' Elle was racking her brain so hard.
Upon noticing Elle's confusion, Erick decided to enlighten his wife.
"Actually, I didn't know that you came here to take care of me that night. I thought it was just a dream. But fortunately, Mom and Dad did something behind my back. They planted a spying camera inside this room in order to monitor me because they are worried that their son would commit suicide because he lost his beloved wife."
Elle was at a loss for words. She didn't expect that. So that means everything she did in that room was recorded in the spying camera.
"Oh my!" Elle raised her hand covering her mouth.
"They saw everything?" She asked him again.
Erick chuckled and just nodded.
"As in everything? Even the moment I fed you the medicine?"
Erick nodded again.
"Argh!" Elle grabbed one pillow and buried her blushing face on it.
'[email protected]! I'm so embarrassed! I wish the ground would open up for me now.'
Erick could not suppress his laughter seeing the cute and embarrassed reaction of his wife.
"Hey, what's wrong? Don't tell me you are being shy now, my dear wifey." Erick wanted to tease her.
"It's alright. Mom and Dad could understand. Besides, we are already husband and wife so kissing is just normal and they know that." Erick said, comforting his embarrassed wife.
Elle raised her head as she gazed up at him. Her cheeks were still flushed. She pouted first before speaking.
"Don't laugh at me. I almost ravish you that night! What if I did that then Mom and Dad would think I am taking advantage of their sick son! [email protected]! I'm glad I was able to control myself!" Elle ranted at him which made Erick speechless.
'She wanted to ravish me that night. How I wish she did it.' Erick thought to himself.
After a while, he looked at her intently and said, "Hmmm, wifey, why don't you do that now? You can ravish me now, all you want. Don't worry, Mom and Dad already removed the spying camera."
Elle met his gaze and raised her brow, "Seriously, Erick? Mom and Dad are just outside!"
Erick flashed his cheeky grin while leaning on her, "Why don't we do it again in my study… just like old times?"
Elle: "..."
She was stupefied by her husband's shamelessness.
Without waiting for her response, Erick immediately scooped her up in his arms and carried her towards his study.
"Hey, Erick… put me down. I thought we were going to talk. What do you think you are doing right now?" Elle gently slapped his broad chest while complaining.
But Erick ignored her protest and said, "We can still talk later after we are done. Besides, you have to make it up for me… for breaking my heart because of your lies. Show me your love and devotion to me… prove to me that I am the only guy you truly love."
Sarah and Raymond had also seen Elle's face. Though unlike Erick, they couldn't recognize her right away since the light in his room was a little bit dim.
But after hearing her voice and the words she said in the recording, they somehow suspected that the person was Elle.
