Chapter 1544


    “I came here to sign the consent form for thepatibility test. Since I’m already here, I might as well


    drop by to see this little one!”


    Elijah turned to N and said, “N, this is—”


    Before he could introduce her, N shrank back, though her gaze remained fixed on Sasha’s face. She


    said softly, timidly, “Hello, aunt.”


    Elijah and Kasey were surprised. “What did you say?” they asked in unison.


    N lowered her head and fell silent.


    Sasha smiled and said, “Didn’t you both hear? She called me her aunt.”


    “But… it’s your first time meeting, right?” Elijah’s eyes showed a hint of suspicion. The situation felt


    increasingly strange, tying a knot in his heart.


    Kasey, however, seemed unfazed.


    Sasha looked at the two of them and asked, “What’s with these expressions?”

    “It’s a bit unexpected,” Elijah said calmly. “N is usually shy, especially with someone wearing a mask


    whose true face she can’t see. Normally, she wouldn’t initiate a greeting, except for before…”


    Elijah stopped short, leaving the sentence unfinished.


    Sasha smiled slightly, waved to N, and left the ward.


    After a while, Elijah pulled Kasey aside and asked sternly, “What did you promise her?”


    Kasey remained silent.


    Elijah raised his voice. “Did you give her the money?”


    “Elijah!” Kasey couldn’t hold back any longer. “I’m doing this for our daughter!”


    “Didn’t I tell you I’d figure something out?”


    “By the time you figure something out, our daughter might be gone!”


    Elijah red at her but found himself at a loss for words.


    “I know what you’re thinking,” Kasey choked back her tears. “You don’t want this illegitimate child to


    enter the Chrisses, yet you want to use her bone marrow! Elijah, that’s a fantasy. You’ll only push N


    into the abyss!”


    “You don’t understand!” Elijah growled. “There’s something wrong with Sasha, and I’m investigating it


    now! Does she think she can get half of my family’s fortune with a photograph and pocket watch? She’s


    dreaming!”


    “Nothing is more important to you than your family’s interests, not even our daughter!” Kasey was


    almost hysterical. “Let me tell you! I may not be able to control the grievances and grudges of the


    Chrisses from the previous generation, but I won’t spare you if anything happens to my daughter!”


    “You’re being unreasonable!”


    “I’ll also tell you…” Kasey’s eyes were red. “I’ve already given her 700,000 dors and promised to let


    her into the Chrisses!”


    Elijah’s eyes widened. He gnashed his teeth, and his face twisted with a touch of ferocity.


    “What… did you say?”


    “I said I can’t give up any chance to save my daughter’s life!”


    Elijah wanted to argue further, but he caught sight of a slim figure out of the corner of his eye.


    “Daddy, mommy… Please, don’t fight…”


    N stayed close to the wall, her eyes brimming with tears as she watched her parents. “She… She’s


    my aunt, she’s really my aunt! I’ve seen her before! She’s really my aunt!”


    “N, what are you saying?”


    Elijah’s heart thudded, and he hurriedly picked up his daughter. “Tell me, what did you see?”
