Trash Husband, I'm the Top novel Chapter 271

Eleanor’s heart ached. “But the Cooper family has already called off the engagement.”

“With Daniel involved, that engagement isn’t going anywhere,” Mrs. Quinn soothed, gently stroking her daughter’s hair.

Just then, Daniel walked in.

Eleanor lay on the hospital bed, looking more fragile than ever, her eyes swollen with tears.

Mrs. Quinn dabbed at her own eyes and tearfully complained, “Eleanor hasn’t said a word since she woke up. I’m worried she’s still not coping…”

Daniel’s expression was clouded with complicated emotions. Hans, determined to break off the engagement, hadn’t even bothered to visit Eleanor.

“Eleanor,” Daniel called softly.

Her eyes were rimmed red, her voice hoarse. “I know he’s here, but he won’t come see me. Is it because I disgust him? He thinks I’m tainted, doesn’t he?”

Fresh tears streamed down her face, pure despair.

“Does he know what really happened back then?”

Eleanor sobbed so hard she looked like she might faint.

Mrs. Quinn wrapped her arms around her daughter, pleading, “Don’t cry, Eleanor. Your body can’t take this.”

Eleanor clutched at Daniel’s sleeve, pulling herself upright on the bed, practically begging. “Please, help me one more time.”

Daniel sighed, visibly moved despite himself.

“Does it have to be Hans?”

He could see it clearly now—Hans never really cared for Eleanor.

Eleanor’s eyes, red and pleading, made her look heartbreakingly pitiful.

“But I only want him,” she whispered.

Before, she’d wanted to marry Hans because she loved him.

Now, she needed to defeat Nora—and marry Hans.

Hans had become her obsession.

“Eleanor…”

“You promised me,” she choked out, tears rolling down her cheeks, “that you’d help me marry Hans. That’s all I want.”

She clung to his hand, desperate. “You owe me, Daniel. Remember when I saved you? Please, just help me once more.”

Daniel’s throat tightened. “Alright.”

He agreed.

A wave of relief swept over Eleanor. She knew that if Daniel gave his word, he’d see it through.

In the end, she would become Hans’s wife.
