Chapter 173
"I don't know her," Makayla said with a hint of resistance. "I've never seen her... I don't know her..."
"Yeah, you passed out at the time, so you didn't see her," Elijah explained.
Passed out?
Makayla: "No, that's not right!"
The last thing she remembered was Violette's face.
She was lying in bed with a fever, and Violette was by her side, talking to her. She couldn't remember
exactly what was said, b
ut she vaguely remembered Violette's warm gaze and gentle voice, which brought her great comfort.
She started to get emotional, and the pain in her head was like a knife cutting through her, causing her
to cry.
"Makayla, does it hurt a lot? Close your eyes now, don't think about anything, and when you wake up, it
won't hurt as much," Elijah wiped the tears off her face with a tissue, gently patting her arm, coaxing
her to sleep.
She had just had brain surgery and needed more rest.
After putting her to sleep, Elijah left the room.
Sarah immediately came forward and asked, "How is she?"
Elijah grinned, his voice full of excitement, "She talks more than before, and her eyes are clearer now...
Dr. Sarah, the surgery was a success!"
Sarah breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great! I was worried the surgery wouldn't be effective!"
Elijah, overwhelmed with gratitude, couldn't help but hug Sarah, "Dr. Sarah, thank you!"
Sarah's heart raced, feeling a bit awkward but enjoying Elijah's embrace.
She tried to hug him back, "Mr. Bourne, it's what I should do."
Her voice made Elijah snap to his senses.
He let go of her, but his smile remained, "Dr. Sarah, thank you for your hard work. It's late now, go
home and rest. See you tomorrow."
Sarah nodded, "If anything happens to Makayla, call me anytime."
Elijah nodded and saw her off.
Brandon saw it all
, and thought this Sarah was no ordinary woman.
He planned to visit Makayla in her room, but the bodyguard stopped him.
Brandon was puzzled, "What? Don't you recognize me?"
"Mr. Fleming, of course, I know you. But without the boss's instructions, I can't let you in," the
bodyguard explained, "Even if it's the boss's mother and brother, I would stop them too."
Brandon: "Why? She can't see anyone?" Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Bodyguard: "She doesn't like strangers."
Elijah was overprotective of Makayla!
Just because she didn't like strangers, he wouldn't let her see anyone?
This overprotection could be harmful to her condition.
"Open the door, and I'll just stand at the entrance," Brandon tried to negotiate with the bodyguard.
The bodyguard was firm, "Mr. Fleming, don't make it difficult for me."
Brandon: "Your boss isn't here, open the door and I'll send you some good wine."
The bodyguard seemed a bit tempted.
Just then, Elijah appeared.
"Elijah, has Dr. Sarah left? You said the surgery went well, is Makayla back to normal now? That's
amazing! Can I see her?" Brandon grinned, walking up to Elijah.
Elijah replied, "No."
Brandon's smile vanished, "You can't keep her in this room forever to protect her, you know? It won't
help her. She needs more social interaction."
Elijah replied, "It's not the time yet."
Brandon continued, "As long as you know that. How did you meet her? Doesn't she have any family?
You're not really planning on marrying her after she recovers, are you?!"
Elijah frowned, "Stop bothering me with your qustions!"
