Chapter 1031

“Ha-ha…” Lance and Jeff erupted into simultaneous laughter.

Lance delivered his teasing blow with practiced precision. “Amazing how you’ve forgotten everything about her yet still hang on her every word.”

Jeff piled on mercilessly. “Regardless of circumstances, you invariably fell head over heels for her. Ha-ha…”

At that precise moment, Elliana’s eyelids fluttered open as consciousness slowly returned.

Cole immediately leaned forward with raw concern. “How are you feeling?”

Elliana’s medical knowledge kicked in automatically as she conducted a swift self-assessment, understanding her predicament with clinical clarity. Since departing the island, relentless domestic and international travel had taken its toll on her pregnancy. She’d neglected proper rest and nutrition. Her recent deadly encounter with the Serpent Society had traumatized the developing fetus. Extended bed rest had become medically essential. Fortunately, she’d already secured the precious Medical Codex, eliminating her desperate need to join the Enlightenment Institute. Rest represented perfect timing now.

“I’m fine,” she confirmed softly. She shifted her attention to Ruben, genuine remorse coloring her voice. “Forgive me for frightening you.”

Ruben’s expression radiated warmth. “Elliana, pregnancy demands careful protection—no more reckless adventures. Rest well here. I will arrange professional medical supervision.”

Realizing his verbal slip, panic crossed Ruben’s weathered face as he glanced toward Cole, dreading potential consequences.

Cole’s frustration deepened noticeably. “I already discovered her true name is Elliana.” Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n F?ndNovel.net

Elliana offered Ruben a reassuring smile. “Don’t torment yourself with worry. Cole won’t conduct any investigations—he’ll follow my carefully orchestrated memory restoration timeline.”

Ruben tapped Cole’s leg sharply with his walking stick. “Heed Elliana’s guidance and behave appropriately. Don’t lose such a precious wife again.” He then turned his stern gaze

“ You two have overstayed your welcome! Disappear immediately and grant Cole and Elliana private bonding time!” Ruben ordered.

Lance and Jeff departed alongside Ruben, leaving the couple alone.

Cole studied Elliana’s face, frustration still clouding his expression. “When will you share our romantic history?”

Elliana considered carefully. “Your physical recovery is progressing remarkably well. Within one month, you should be completely healed. By then, natural memory restoration might make my storytelling unnecessary.”

One month stretched uncomfortably long, yet remained bearable. Cole lifted Elliana’s delicate hand, pressing tender kisses across her knuckles.

“Honey, could you summon Emmanuel, Jason, and Lance? Critical matters require immediate discussion,” Elliana requested suddenly.

Cole froze, staring at her in stunned disbelief. “What endearment did you just use?”
