Love Comes To Me

Hector listened to her quietly, the curve of his lips deepening, and was about to speak when Sweety's soft voice rang out on the other end. "Is Mummy on the phone with Daddy?"

Hector sniffed, smiled and didn't make a sound.

Only to hear Eloise reply softly, "Yeah, how did you know?"

Sweety lay on her lap, tilting her small, finely sculpted face up and smiling, "Of course, then, Mommy is so happy, she must be talking to Daddy, right?"

Eloise didn't know Sweety was so observant, she nodded, "How clever you are, eh? It's almost like a little Sherlock Holmes."

"Hey, Sweety wants to talk to Daddy too!"

Sweety said, crawling into Eloise's arms, grabbing Eloise's hand with her short hand and reaching for the phone, "Daddy! It's Sweety, when are you coming back? We all miss you so much!" Hector's heart instantly softened beyond words as he coaxed, "Daddy will go back when he's done, okay?" Sweety had to be good and listen to her mother.

"Good! Daddy has to remember to bring back goodies for Sweety and also for brother ..."

...

Sweety has her phone on speaker and is chatting childishly to Hector as Eloise listens to the father-daughter conversation with a gentle smile on her face. Sweety said quite a lot in one breath before giving the phone back to Eloise and running off downstairs to play by herself.

Hector's tone remained the same, still talking to Eloise as if he was coaxing a child, "Eloise, you and the kids are going to be good until I get back, okay?" Eloise nodded and said, "I know, we'll all be waiting for you to come back."

"Also, if you are uncomfortable, seek out Almeida and Sener first, there should never be any delays..."

Hector instructed in a serious tone.

His main concern was Eloise's health, especially now that he was not with her.

Eloise gave a long "hmm" and softly replied, "I know, I will take good care of my own body, of course, don't worry about me, don't worry about your work, come back soon when you're done, okay?" Eloise is well aware that Hector is going to Italy on business and she doesn't want to divide Hector's heart because of herself.

It was only after listening to the soft voice coming from the phone that Hector nodded his head and said, "Yes, I will."

In fact, how could Hector not be worried about her?

Only, it is not to wish her to worry.

The two talked for a while longer before they both hung up reluctantly.

After hanging up the phone, Eloise prepared to get up and go downstairs, but before she could stand up, a dizzying sensation hit her.

She hurriedly held on to the back of the chair, things blurred a little in front of her eyes, she closed her eyes and took a minute or two to slow down before her vision cleared up.

A little flustered, she ran into the bathroom, looked in the mirror, and pulled the collar neckline a little off.

Her gaze lingered on a red patch above her shoulder, and when she got a better look, her gaze grew dimmer little by little, and her fingers trembled slightly as she pulled up her shirt. The heart sank almost instantly.

In fact, she had just gotten up this morning and was changing her clothes when she noticed some red blotches on her body. However, at the time, she just thought she was allergic and didn't care too much.

But now the red spot was spreading and seemed to validate her suspicions.

She hadn't revealed it even when she was on the phone just now, and what little fluke she had had was now broken in one blow. How dare she tell Hector?

Eloise's greatest fear is to worry him, and what's more, now that he's abroad, talking about it won't help and will cause more distress. But once she told her family, then the result would still be the same, and she didn't want to worry them.

Eloise looked at herself in the mirror, somewhat bemused, and washed her face hastily with cold water, as if she were more awake.

A look of determination froze in her eyes.

And then, turning around, he exited the bathroom, walked to the cloakroom, found a jacket with a higher collar and put it on, before driving out alone and driving in the direction of the Institute.

She was going to find Almeida and Sener, but if they were to come to the house, Hector's parents would surely be informed.

So she's going to go to them herself, it's a little safer.

Eloise soon arrived at the institute where Almeida was staying, and after she had parked her car, she walked inside.

As soon as Almeida and Sener saw Eloise, they sensed something in their hearts.

She couldn't have been here for no reason.

"I noticed this morning that I have red spots on my shoulder and they are spreading." Sener and Almeida both sniffed as they said in unison, "Come here first for a check-up."

They didn't dare delay at all, and Eloise followed them into the laboratory, where Eloise was first made to lie down on a bed.

As she was about to go in to check, Eloise couldn't resist speaking up and explaining, "Don't you tell Hector about this yet." Almeida and Sener nodded in agreement, what request could not be granted in such a situation where no time could be lost?

It took a while before Eloise was wheeled out and she sat to one side waiting for the results.

Almeida and Sener looked at the test results and their brows furrowed.

The situation is not good.

Eloise guessed some of this too, but she prepared herself for the worst and tried to be mentally prepared.

Almeida and Sener came over and looked at a calm Eloise, Almeida said, "Right now your body is producing antibodies but the virus is spreading too much and a small part of it has beaten your resistance, that's why this is happening." Eloise nodded, this was better than she had expected, at least it wasn't drug-free.

Seeing that she was still in a calm mood, Almeida and Sener went to work on ways to cope.

After a long time, they both retraced their steps, holding a clear glass bottle.

Inside was a white pill that was handed to Eloise.

Almeida said, "The red spots on your body should dissipate in two hours after you take this medicine."

"Yes, thank you."

Eloise nodded slightly and took it, opening the lid without hesitation, putting the pill in her mouth and swallowing it straight down.

After that, they went back the way they came, in order not to be suspected.

Eloise went to the mall with the intention of doing some random shopping, but ended up walking involuntarily to the children's section and buying some clothes for Solomon and Sweety each.

In fact, these two little ones have quite a few new clothes in their wardrobe.

They are delivered to the house every month, but Eloise is still keen to pick out their clothes herself.

Eloise bought several sets of clothes for each of the two little ones, seeing how cute and pretty they were.

Eloise walked out of the mall much calmer, as if she had really only gone out shopping on a whim. Eloise is much lighter on her feet as she carries her shopping bags.

Inside the laboratory.

Almeida and Sener are wearing the same white coats and have stony expressions on their faces.
