Chapter 1414


    They did not seem like a married couple, more like partners who had signed an agreement.


    Nevertheless, Lena could tell that Kasey had feelings for Elijah. Her family benefited from this marriage


    alliance, yet she had be the sacrifice.


    “What’s wrong? Do you think I’m irresponsible in marriage?” Elijah maintained his nonchnt tone. “It’s


    gic! My old man wasn’t responsible either.”


    Lena remained silent, uninterested in his family matters.


    Elijah murmured, “He had a wife but still messed around outside. I’m much better than him. At least I


    didn’t father any illegitimate…”


    He paused and looked at Lena. “I didn’t father any illegitimate children.


    “But I seem to have a half-brother. My old man saw that child once before he died and entrusted me to


    find him. Why should I look for him? Topete for the family inheritance? Let him fend for himself


    outside!”


    Annoyed by what she was hearing, Lena nced at him and turned to leave.


    “Hey, where are you going?”


    Lena did not respond and headed toward the obstetrics and gynecology department. Surprisingly, she


    came across Lina, who had just finished her examination, at the entrance.


    “Why are youing out on your own?” Lena’s heart skipped a beat. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry… I’mte!


    I…”


    “Why so nervous?” Lina smiled. “I have nurses taking care of me. It’s okay. Besides, I’ve finished the


    examination. I came out for some fresh air!”


    She gently pushed aside the messy hair falling on Lena’s forehead. Then, she caught sight of someone


    nearby…


    Lina was startled and turned around.


    “Mr. Chriss? You’re here too?”


    “Oh, hehehe…” Elijah’s demeanor swiftly changed to a respectful one. “I…”

    Lina looked at Lena. “You mentioned a friend who’s in the hospital. Is it him?”


    “Yeah.”


    “But this is a maternity and children’s hospital!”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated

    Elijah chuckled and took out his phone to show Lina his chat history with Lena. He then exined the


    whole situation.


    “My little troublemaker met Lena once before, and they seemed to have quite the connection, so…”


    “I see.” Lina was not too bothered.


    Elijah was one of their own in a way. His capabilities and connections were not to be underestimated,


    and he often shielded her in the boardroom. That offended some seniors, which resulted in numerous


    scandalous rumors about him and Jacquelin.


    Lina had wanted to clear his name, but he did not care much and was entirely focused on his work.


    After thinking for a moment, Lina made a call to her assistant and instructed her to buy a gift.


    Elijah immediately declined upon hearing that.


    “Don’t be so polite,” Lina earnestly said. “I’m also pregnant right now, and I have a few more check-ups


    to do. It’s just a gesture to express my goodwill. I wish her a speedy recovery.”


    “Thank you.”


    Elijah looked up and saw Lena diligently apanying Lina. They looked like best friends, and he


    suddenly felt a pang of unease.


    ‘Oh no! I never anticipated that Lena had such a significant background! I even offered her triple the


    sry and treated her like a nanny… I also boldly talked back!’ he thought.


    Elijah bit his tongue, his face turning white. He wished he could find a hole to crawl into.


    “Mr. Chriss, are you okay?” Lina looked at him.


    Elijah forced a smile. “I’m fine…”


    “By the way, I’d like to formally inform you.” Lina pulled Lena over with smiling eyes. “Lena is under me


    now. So, please be polite to her in the future!”


    “Yes, yes!” Elijah nodded repeatedly, suddenly realizing a truth—one should never casually offend a


    woman!
