Chapter 673
Chapter 673:
Cole tried to speak. “But…” His voice faded away. Having lived through the agony of his condition, the thought of passing it on to his child made him recoil.
Elliana placed her hand over his, squeezing it gently. “Hey. Look at me. If I can cure you, I can damn well make sure we have a healthy baby p>
The tension in Cole’s shoulders eased instantly. It would have sounded empty coming from another doctor, just words meant to reassure. But hearing them from Elliana, who was the legendary Milena, was different. She never made promises she could not keep.
He drew her hand near and let his lips linger in a tender kiss on her knuckles. His eyes held hers as he murmured, “Elliana, I am such a lucky dog to have you.” That shadow of Psychephrenia had always hung over him, making him afraid to even imagine having children. But now, Elliana stood in front of him, offering not just a cure but the hope of healthy kids. She had rescued him from the darkness and shown him a future filled with light.
Elliana’s answer came with a bright smile. “And the feeling’s the same. I consider myself lucky to have you enter my life p>
That was the honest truth. Her own childhood had left her wounded, with fears that lingered. For years, she had been scared to open her heart or believe anyone could love her for real. Cole had changed all that. He’d shown her what it meant to be loved and had taught her how to give love back.
Both of them had been broken, but together, they found a way to heal. Nothing more needed to be said. Their smiles spoke for them, the bond between them clear and strong.
Soon, the tender moment faded and they went back to their meal, sharing an easy, peaceful silence.
However, they did not have the privacy they thought they did. Hidden from sight, Ruben caught each word that drifted to where he stood.
Earlier, Ruben had made his way downstairs, planning to see how Cole was doing and to inquire whether Cole would take the medicine. As he reached the dining room, he caught the sound of their voices and paused, holding back near the doorway so he could listen without being seen.
Finding out that Cole had agreed to move forward with the treatment and that he and Elliana planned to have a baby sparked a warm, unstoppable joy inside Ruben. Careful not to disturb their private moment, he backed away silently and tiptoed back upstairs.
Without delay, Ruben hurried straight to Jarrett’s room and knocked with excitement.
Jarrett barely had the door open when Ruben burst in, energy practically radiating from him. “I’ve got the most incredible news! Cole and Elliana are trying to make a baby! You’re going to be a grandfather, and that means I’ll be a great-grandfather!” His laughter filled the room, big and bright.

Jarrett’s eyes went wide with surprise and happiness, though concern crept in right after. “Really? That’s wonderful, but what about Cole’s illness? Are they sure it’s safe for them to start a family now p>
Ruben didn’t hesitate, brushing off the worry with a wave. “Elliana is Milena, remember? I heard her myself. She promised that if she can heal Cole, she’ll make sure their child is healthy, too p>
Hearing that, Jarrett let out a long breath, his face relaxing into a wide, relieved smile. “That’s… that’s truly wonderful p>
A nod from Ruben signaled his mood had turned serious. “They are working on a baby, so we need to be thoughtful. No more wandering around unless you really need to. Let’s give them some privacy p>
