Chapter 1650
Keaton’s brow furrowed slightly. “Beatrix brought this on herself. My mood has nothing to do with Winona p>
Elysia reminded him, “You should be well aware that Winona went after Beatrix for two reasons. One was revenge. The other was because of you, Janelle, and Mr. Huber p>
She couldn’t do anything about Keaton being upset over Beatrix. But if he was going to blame Winona for what happened tonight, she had to speak up for her friend.
What right did he have to blame Winona? A huge part of the reason Winona sought revenge on Beatrix was because of the Huber family!
Keaton sensed something was off. “Did Winona misunderstand something p>
Elysia shook her head. “No p>
“Good. How are you feeling now? Still nauseous p>
“Much better p>
“Then the prescription is working. Keep taking it tomorrow, just once a day.” Elysia
then looked at Tarquin. “I’m heading home, too p>
With Winona gone, there was no reason for her to stay.
Keaton caught the shift in the air and knew it was his cue to leave. He said to
Tarquin, “You should go with Elysia. My nausea is gone. I’ll get a good night’s sleep,
and if I’m still feeling this way tomorrow, I’ll just check myself out p>
Tarquin nodded. “Call me if you need anything p>
“Will do p>
At midnight, Elysia and Tarquin left the hospital.
In the car, Elysia asked Tarquin, “What did Keaton say to you p>
“Nothing p>
Elysia was surprised. “Nothing at all p>
“Nope, really. He was just agitated and chain-smoking, so I kept him company p>
Elysia frowned. “He didn’t say anything to you about Beatrix p>
Tarquin shook his head. “No p>
Elysia was baffled. “What is the deal between him and Beatrix p>
“One minute, Beatrix is accusing him of rape, the next she’s using someone else’s baby to force him to marry her. And through all that, he doesnt get angry. Instead, he sees her miserable downfall and gets upset p>
“If you say he has feelings for her, that can’t be it. He refuses to marry her, so he clearly doesn’t like her p>
“Could she have some kind of fatal leverage on him p>
Tarquin shook his head. “That’s definitely not possible p>
“Then did she save his life or something?” Elysia guessed.
Tarquin didn’t know either. “Keaton didn’t say, and I didn’t push him. But no matter
what, Keaton would never let Winona suffer because of Beatrix. He knows right from wrong p>
Elysia’s brows knitted together. p>
Beatrix and Keaton’s relationship was a tangled mess, and now
Winona was pregnant with Keaton’s child. She was worried that if Beatrix found out, she would use Keaton’s Winona and the
indulgence to hurt V
baby.
the
Elysia looked at Tarquin with a serious expression. “I don’t care what’s going on between Beatrix and Keaton, but if Beatrix ever dares to hurt Winona, I will make her regret it p>
Tarquin met her gaze, his eyes narrowing slightly. “Did something happen to Winona p>
Elysia shot back, “Why would you think that p>
“You had me go buy her a pair of flats today Tarquin said slowly. “Is she pregnant p>
Elysia froze. p>
Her eyes widened in shock as she
stared at Tarquin. All she’d done was ask him to buy a pair of shoes, and Keaton had been right there. Keaton hadn’t noticed a thing, but he had managed to figure it out!
