Chapter 176


    Violette felt like she was choking, a


    s if someone had her throat in a death-grip.


    She had no idea that the two kids would go to the hospital to find her.


    What was more, she didn''t expect that despite their promise, Mercy Hospital would leak the CCTV


    footage.


    Elijah was always the suspicious type.


    So, she guessed he''d sniff around to find out who took Maka to the hospital.


    But he got it twisted, thinking she was the one who brought Maka to the hospital yesterday, when in


    fact, she went the day before.


    Even if he scoured yesterday''s surveince footage, he wouldn''t catch a glimpse of her taking Maka


    to the hospital.


    "Elijah, we''re divorced. Whether I was at the hospital yesterday, carrying however many kids, holding


    however many kids'' hands, it''s none of your business!" Violette said determinedly once she''d calmed


    down, "They''re not your kids! I wouldn''t bear your children! Our child was lost because of you!"


    After letting out her feelings, Violette hung up the phone.


    She didn''t want to hear any response from him.


    May he and his Maka live happily ever after!


    And stop being a nuisance!


    Elijah''s lips moved, but before he could get a word out, the line was dead.


    As he listened to the dial tone, his mind went nk.


    The memory of him forcing her to abort their child must be a permanent scar for her, b


    ut she never mentioned it afterwards, so he didn''t often remember they once had a child.


    His spacious vi was so quiet that he could hear his own heartbeat.


    He asked himself, did you regret that?


    After a few seconds of hesitation, he knew the answer.


    Same old answer.


    "Sir, Dr. Sarah is here." Lacey said as she walked over to him.


    His face quickly returned to its usual calm.


    He strode towards the living room.


    Sarah was in a good mood today. She wore a brightly colored dress, light makeup, and her hair was let


    down.


    A stark contrast from her usual serious demeanor.


    Elijah walked into the living room and was slightly taken aback when he saw her.


    "Mr. Bourne, you haven''t forgotten me, have you?" Sarah said with an awkward smile, "Now that the


    surgery is over, I can rx a bit. I n to go shoppingter. Although I moved overseas with my father


    when I was young, I''ve always had a soft spot for A City. This ce is still my hometown."


    Elijah nodded, "Do you need someone to apany you?"


    Sarah''s eyes lit up and she nodded, "It''d be great if someone coulde along."


    Elijah: "I''ll have the driver take you.


    Maka needs someone to be with her."


    Faced with his straightforward reply, Sarah epted with a smile.


    "Indeed, it''s a pity she''s a bit resistant to me. Otherwise, I could apany her." Sarah expressed


    regretfully.


    "Alright, Dr. Sarah, let''s discuss your payment now!" Elijah invited her today for this very reason, "Name


    your price!"


    A look of difort crossed Sarah''s face: "Mr. Bourne, the advance payment you gave me is more


    than enough. You don''t need to give me any more."


    Elijah had previously given her five million, b


    ut to him, that amount was far from enough.


    Over the years, he had sought top doctors worldwide, but none could improve Maka''s condition.


    The amount he spent far exceeded five million.


    So, he couldn''t possibly give Sarah just this little.


    "I''ll give you a hundred million!" Elijah proposed.
