Aleck was in the ward, adjusting Earle's bed.

Since Earle had just met the kids, and he was still in an excited state, Aleck was worried that his heart might cause trouble again, so he gave him another pill.

"Take another pill, Mr. Moran. Just in case."

Earle took the pill from Aleck indifferently. "Since when have you known the twins' identity?"

When Aleck had chosen to hide the truth temporarily, he had already prepared himself to be blamed and questioned, so he lowered his head and answered, "I did not know about it until a few days ago, and I have been waiting for the right opportunity to tell you."

Aleck would have been scolded if it was a normal situation, but since Earle was in a good mood, he did not care.

"Don't do it again." Aleck was surprised to hear that he was letting it slide.

"You did a good job. I like the kids, and I did not expect them to be my great-grandchildren!" A smile appeared on Earle's lips as he spoke of the kids.

All of a sudden, an idea popped into Aleck's mind, and he asked, "Naturally, you're happy with the kids, but what about their mother?"

Earle paused and pondered for a moment. The previous disgust in his eyes towards Eliana was not there.

"Although Eliana's family background and personality are not a perfect match for Maurice's, I am a little fond of her now because she gave birth to Aileen and Adrian."

Aleck was overjoyed. Although Earle was not saying it openly, he meant that he would accept Eliana.

"What do you mean, Mr. Moran?" he asked with a grin.

Earle glanced at him. Aleck had worked for him for so long that it was obvious he had already read his mind, but he was purposely asking him to say it out loud.

"Go and find out if there is anyone from the Pierce family who can make a decision. We must let Maurice have a grand wedding!"

"Yes, Mr. Moran. I'll investigate it right away!"

Earle seemed to have accepted Eliana at last! With a broad smile on his face, Aleck immediately left to find out if Eliana had any relatives.

Meanwhile, Eliana was nervously sitting in her ward, waiting for her doctor's reply. Maurice sat beside her, holding her hands to offer his support.

After going through her case, the doctor suggested a new treatment for her.

"Considering her current situation, we can have someone very close to the patient stay with her at night to see if it helps improve her mental condition."

Following the doctor's suggestion, Maurice spent the night with her. Fortunately, Eliana didn't have an attack that night and slept soundly.

When she woke up the next morning, she saw Maurice sleeping next to her, holding her hand firmly. The warmth of his palm softened her heart. She immediately reached out and gently touched his handsome face.

How could Maurice have such long eyelashes?

As though someone had cast a spell on her, she wanted to kiss him immediately. However, Maurice caught her in the act.

"You're being affectionate with me soon after you wake up?"

Eliana blushed and stammered, "I… I just couldn't help it…"

Staring at her flushed cheeks, he realized that it had been a peaceful night. "You're fine! The doctor's suggestion worked!"

Maurice got up and lifted her happily. Touched, Eliana wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Thank you, Maurice…"

As Maurice stared at her face, a warm feeling stirred in his heart. He suddenly put her down and locked the door while she was staring at him in a daze.

Eliana's heart raced when she heard the crisp sound of the door locking.

Everything that followed was natural between two people who cared for each other.

The nurse was about to check on Eliana when she suddenly heard some noise coming from inside. She immediately understood what was going on and stepped away with a smile.
