Chapter 493
"Elijah, have you already taken Makayla for her checkup? Weren't we supposed to go together?" Sarah
sounded upset.
She drove to the Bourne family's place only to find out that Elijah had already left with Makayla.
Elijah watched the comings and goings at the hospital entrance, his voice cold. "Her test results came
back fine."
"That's good. I've started prepping for Makayla's third treatment," Sarah said excitedly. "I've got a new
approach. If all goes well, we can do the third surgery in the second half of the year."
Elijah, "Can you guarantee the third surgery will get her back to normal?"
Sarah was taken aback. Even the best doctors didn’t dare to promise they could cure their patients. "I
can't be 100% sure, but I think..."
“If you can't be sure, then stop!” He said coldly. “Come find me when you're 100% sure.”
Stop? Sarah was shocked.
"Elijah... are you suggesting we stop Makayla's treatment? Or... have you found a better doctor?" Her
voice trembled slightly, sounding a little lost.
She never imagined that Elijah would make such a decision. Did he know that she wasn't the one who
performed the previous two surgeries on Makayla? But if he knew, he wouldn't have called her last
night to see Makayla!
“No.” His voice was devoid of warmth. “Sarah, the money I gave you could've been used to buy
anything you wanted. But you chose to give it to Alexa.”
Violette hated him so much, not only because he abandoned their relationship to protect a secret, but
also because of the tension between him, Sarah, and Alexa.
He spent last night in Makayla's room, thinking a lot. The more he thought, the more he understood
Violette's pain. Sure, everyone had their own sufferings, past mistakes had been made, but in the
future, he wanted to avoid repeating them as much as possible.
When Sarah heard his reason, tears silently fell. “I'm sorry... Elijah, I didn't realize you still had such
strong feelings for Violette.”
“You knew.” Elijah saw through her lie.
Sarah never thought he would be so blunt!
“Sarah, we don't need to keep in contact.” He said the most decisive words in the calmest tone. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Sarah wanted to scoff, but she couldn't. Just the day before, she was bragging to Alexa about being
able to earn at least another billion dollars from Elijah. Maybe her actions were too much, and karma
decided to bite her?
But didn't he force her to do this? If he had even a shred of affection for her, she wouldn't need his
money.
The call ended. Elijah hung up the phone.
Sarah cried till her eyes were red, feeling as if the world had ended. Elijah didn't need her anymore!
She had nothing left.
She returned home in a daze, and only realized when she reached the door that she had ended up at
Alexa and her father's place.
"Sarah, what's wrong?" Alexa happened to be home that day.
Alexa looked serious. "Is it really that bad?" Read at
Alexa handed her a few tissues. "Stop crying. I've come up with a thorough plan, but I need your help."
