Mila gave a few final instructions before returning to the emergency department.
…
Given Eugene’s condition, it was certain he would need to be hospitalized after the surgery.
Mila asked Sienna to head back to the house to gather some clothes and essentials, while she stayed to handle the admission paperwork.
Roughly an hour later, Eugene was wheeled out of surgery and into a private room.
Sienna hadn’t returned yet.
The doctor spoke to Mila, Does this young man often skip meals, and then binge on junk food? That’s not good for his stomach. While appendicitis is manageable, he needs to watch his diet in the future…
Mila wasn’t aware of Eugene’s eating habits, but she listened carefully, intending to relay the message to Sienna later.
After navigating the endless paperwork and collecting the prescribed medications, she settled into a chair beside the hospital bed, her eyes resting on the pale young man lying there.
Eugene, like Lysander, had an exceptionally handsome face.
However, Lysander’s looks carried a hint of danger and intensity. His presence was so commanding that it was intimidating when he wasn’t smiling. Yet, his eyes, when amused, could make anyone’s heart flutter unknowingly.
Eugene’s beauty was purely striking, with deep-set features that lacked any aggression. But perhaps due to his temperament, he always seemed to carry a shadowy aura.
As Mila watched the sleeping figure, she sighed quietly.
Poor thing.
Eugene was only about eighteen or nineteen, and here he was, having gone through surgery without a single family member showing concern. He was shunned by his family, much like she had been years ago.
The difference was that after she married, she distanced herself from the family who wished to devour her. Eugene, however, was still caught in the web.
Just as she was lost in thought, Mila noticed something off.
Eugene’s face had traces of makeup. His naturally attractive features seemed oddly out of place with it. Although, with modern trends, men wearing makeup wasn’t unusual, so she didn’t dwell on it.
…
…
Once Mila had left, Leonard cast a cold glance at the sleeping Eugene before calling Lysander.
Sir, she’s gone. Mr. Eugene hasn’t woken up yet.
Good, came Lysander’s cool reply through the phone. Sort out the staff at the villa. Even if he’s a misfit, Eugene is still a Montgomery. He can be neglected, but no one outside the family should dare abuse him.
Understood.
Leonard added, Jade’s back and brought her own team. We can’t get close to the ma’am while they’re here.
A brief silence followed before a mocking laugh crackled through the line.
This won’t last. Jade’s headquarters is in Verdelune. She’ll have to return eventually. She can’t stay here indefinitely.
Once she’s gone, Mila will be left without support again!
