Chapter 171


    "Why''d you bring family along for our little outing?" Odette poured a drink and handed it to her. "What


    were you up tost night? You''ve got some serious dark circles, looks like you pulled an all-nighter."


    Violette raised her ss and took a small sip, "I was upte watching movies!"


    "I don''t buy it. You look like you''re faking that smile." Odette asked, "Are you still missing Elijah?"


    Violette almost spat out her drink, "Odette, do you think I''m an idiot?"


    Odette nodded, "Well, you''re loaded, but you do look kinda dumb."


    In another corner of the restaurant...


    Brandon grabbed a bottle and poured a drink for Elijah.


    This was the fanciest restaurant close to the hospital.


    "Elijah, I''m not gonna pry about you and Maka. I called you out here to have a drink with me," said


    Brandon. "So, is that Dr. Sarah really as amazing as you say?"


    Elijah lifted his ss and took a sip, "She performed surgery on Maka, but she hasn''t woken up yet."


    "Oh... If it works, how much are you nning to pay her?" asked Brandon, curiosity in his eyes.


    "Whatever she wants."


    "What if she doesn''t want money, but wants you instead?" Brandon proposed his own theory. "Violette


    can''t ept you having Maka in your heart, but some women don''t care, like Melinda. If Dr. Sarah


    doesn''t mind and just wants to be with you, what will you do?"


    Elijah nced at Brandon, "She lives and works abroad. She''s just here on vacation."


    "If you''d marry her, she could totally give up her life and work overseas," said Brandon. "You''re just too


    irresistible to women."


    "Dr. Sarah isn''t like that," Elijah said firmly.


    Brandon nodded and didn''t mention Sarah again.


    "Elijah, see that table over there? Isn''t that woman Odette?" Brandon pointed in a direction. "And the


    woman across from her, her back looks a bit like Violette''s."


    After saying this, he got up and walked over.


    Elijah looked in the direction he had gone.


    It was Violette.


    He could recognize her silhouette in an instant.


    They hadn''t seen each other for over four years, but Joey said she hadn''t changed much in


    appearance.


    "Odette, howe you didn''t bring Ramsey along?" Brandon talked to Odette, but his gaze fell on


    Violette''s face. "Oh my, isn''t this Violette?"


    Violette suddenly saw Brandon and was stunned.


    Brandon looked at the wine ss in her hand and sighed, "You didn''t drink before, but now you do?


    Perfect, Elijah and I are drinking too. Do you mind if we join you?"


    Without waiting for Violette''s answer, he went straight back to their table, grabbed wine and sses,


    and brought Elijah over as well.


    Violette was speechless.


    Odette frowned and said discontentedly, "Hey, my friend and I are having dinner. What are you two


    doing here?"


    "Last time we had dinner together, you were so warm to me. Have you forgotten already?" Brandon


    asked yfully. "Elijah and Violette may be divorced, but they used to be married. They can still be


    friends, right? Right, Violette?"


    Violette awkwardly touched her head.


    Be friends? Even if she was drunk, she couldn''t possibly be friends with Elijah.


    "Violette, I didn''t mean to stand you upst time," Elijah stood beside her, one hand holding a wine


    ss, the other in his pocket.


    His deep eyes looked down at her from above.


    Her face was still so beautiful, but now she seemed more mature.


    "You don''t have to exin to me. I''m not mad," Violette looked up and gave him a faint smile. "I have

    some things to do, so I''ll go first."


    She got up, ready to leave.


    But he was like a solid wall, blocking her way, showing no intention of stepping aside.
