When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1377 The Crafty Elliot

Early in the morning, Elena had gone to the Smith residence to visit Elliot, only to find out that the latter's illness had relapsed and he had been hospitalized.

In front of Elliot, it was difficult for Cecilia to reveal his medical condition.

"It's nothing serious," she said. "The doctor advised him to rest more. He'll recover soon."

"That's a relief." Elena let out a sigh, quickly rushing to Elliot's side. "Sweetie, why has your illness flared up again? Haven't you been taking your medication on time?" Upon seeing Elena arrive, Elliot knew he had to make use of the opportunity.

First, he sent Cecilia out to buy him some tasty treats. Then, he immediately put on a pitiful act in front of Elena. "Grandma, I've always been good, it's just that..." He paused, tears rolling down his cheeks.

"Someone... someone was bullying me."

"What?" Elena's temper flared instantly. "Who bullied you? Tell me,, and I will avenge you!"

Elena had never anticipated that someone would dare to bully her grandson.

Elliot sniffed, "It was Aunt Cassandra."

Cassandra?

At first, Elena couldn't recall who it was. After a moment, she asked, "Are you referring to Cassandra, your uncle's wife?"

"Right." Elliot nodded repeatedly, then added tearfully, "It was she who hit me, and she even wanted to hit Jon."

After hearing this, disbelief filled Elena's eyes. "How could she resort to hitting a child?"

"She even threatened to kill me and my brother," Elliot emphasized. "She declared that only her son could carry on the Rainsworth family's lineage, and not either of us." This statement truly blew Elena's mind.

She was certain a child wouldn't tell such a lie and also that Cecilia would never teach these things to her children.

"She's so ruthless, even children are not spared!"

She took a deep breath. "Elliot, don't cry. I will definitely seek justice for you."

Elena also found herself in a bit of a dilemma. After all, Cassandra was carrying Nicholas' child-her very own grandchild.

Even then, Cassandra can't possibly

After Cecilia returned, Elena stood up, ready to leave.

"Ceci, I have some things to handle at home, so I'll head back first," she said.

Cecilia didn't understand why she was leaving in such a hurry but escorted her to the door still.

Before Elena left, she couldn't help but ask Cecilia, "Is the relapse of Elliot's condition related to Cassandra?" Cecilia nodded. "Yes."

That was all Elena needed to know, and she quickly walked out.

Once she was outside and settled in the car, she immediately called Cassandra.

"Where are you now?"

Cassandra was still unaware of what had transpired. "What's wrong, Mom? I'm at the Jamieson residence."

Elena was irate. "Do you really think you are qualified to lay a finger on Elliot?"

Upon hearing these words, Cassandra was left stunned.

"Let me make this clear,” Elena thundered, "Eli and Jon are my grandsons Don't think that just because you're carrying Nicholas's child, you can harm them! Do you think that I dare not kill you?" Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

She was worried about her own grandson's wellbeing and not about Cassandra.

Once the child was born, she had plenty of ways to deal with the latter.

Cassandra's expression fluctuated anger and panic. "Mom, there must be some misunderstanding here," she said.

"Misunderstanding? Would a child

falsely accuse you without reason? I know what you're after. Let me tell you, from now on, the future of the Rainsworth family will depend on which child proves themselves the most and not your petty schemes!"

This time, Elena was genuinely upset.
