Chapter 172


    She barely touched her food. There was still quite a bit of wine left in her ss.


    If he didn''te over, she''d definitely just make up an excuse to leave.


    "You guys keep eating, I''m gonna head out." As soon as he finished speaking, he straightened up and


    walked away with big strides.


    Brandon grabbed his wine ss and immediately chased after him: "Elijah, wait for me!"


    Odette gave Violette a thumbs up: "Violette, you''re amazing."


    Violette looked helpless: "He wanted to leave on his own."


    "Maybe he still likes you." Odette picked up her wine ss and clinked it with Violette''s, "And from the


    look in his eyes, I could feel that he still loves you."


    Violette said, "Odette, you need to watch less romance movies; you''re turning silly."


    "Didn''t you say you stayed upte watching moviesst night?"


    "I didn''t say I was watching romance movies." Violette took a sip of wine and said slowly, "Live your


    own life well, men and love are not as important as yourself."


    Odette agreed wholeheartedly: "Violette, you''re right! Elijah never really cared about you."


    "Stop mentioning him, let''s eat." Violette whispered, "I drove here, so I''ll need to find a designated


    driverter."


    "There are plenty of designated drivers outside," Odette said. "Violette, I was actually nning to go to


    your ce today. Why didn''t you let me? I haven''t been to your new house yet."


    Odette only knew that she lived in Silverleaf Bay, but didn''t know which vi was hers.


    Violette awkwardly took a sip of wine: "Some other time, my ce is a mess right now."


    "Isn''t your mom living with you? How could it be messy?"


    "Um..." Violette started making excuses.


    At that moment, Elijah received a call and quickly walked towards the restaurant entrance.


    Odette watched his rapidly retreating figure and said, "Violette, Elijah is leaving."


    Violette turned her head and saw his leaving figure.


    Was he in such a hurry to leave because Maka woke up?


    Maka did wake up.


    Sarah called Elijah and told him to hurry back to the hospital.


    In the intensive care unit.


    Maka stared nkly at the unfamiliar surroundings and people.


    "Maka, I''m your doctor, my name is Sarah." Sarah tried to make Maka remember the information


    that ''I performed your surgery.''


    Sarah didn''t know what Maka was thinking or what kind of impact this surgery would have on her.


    Maka stared nkly at Sarah

    , whose face felt very unfamiliar to her.


    When Sarah grabbed her hand, she didn''t hesitate and immediately pulled it back.


    Soon after, Elijah arrived.


    When Maka saw her brother, her fear and uneasiness eased a bit.


    She reached out her hand to Elijah, and


    Elijah immediately went to her bedside and held her hand.


    Seeing the uneasiness in her eyes, Elijah said to Sarah, "Dr. Sarah, she''s afraid of strangers. Can I


    trouble you to step out for a moment? I''d like to talk to her alone."


    Sarah nodded and left the room.


    After the door of the room closed, Elijah whispered, "Maka, do you have a really bad headache?"


    Maka nodded, "What happened to me?"


    "You had brain surgery. It might be painful now, but it''ll get better in a few days." Elijah''s voice was


    gentle, and his eyes were even softer, "Maka, do you remember how you left school?"


    Ian''s face appeared in Maka''s mind.


    "Elijah, you took me out!"


    In her thoughts, Ian''s face seemed to be exactly the same as her brother''s.


    Elijah frowned.


    Could this be because the surgery hadn''t fully healed yet?


    "Elijah, who was that person just now? I don''t know her." Maka thought of Sarah''s face and couldn''t


    help but frown.


    "That''s Dr. Sarah. She''s your surgeon."
