Chapter 302


    7 a.m.


    A ck Rolls-Royce slowly pulled into the front yard.


    Lacey hadn''t slept all night.


    Seeing Elijah return, she immediately went to the living room door. After telling Maka the truthst


    night, Maka was pretty shaken.


    Lacey felt super guilty. Once she said something, it was like spilled water, and she couldn''t take it back.


    Elijah, shivering from the cold, entered the living room.


    "Sir, I did something really dumb. I deserve any punishment." Lacey followed Elijah.


    Elijah stopped, his bloodshot eyes looking at Lacey.


    "Last night I told Maka about Dr. Sarah threatening you. That''s why Maka refuses treatment now,"


    Lacey lowered her head, "It''s all my fault. I shouldn''t have bbed!"


    "Why did you tell her that?" Elijah frowned, looking unhappy.


    "She said she hopes you and Violette get back together. So, I couldn''t help but tell her the truth," Lacey


    said in a hoarse voice, "You should fire me! I''m getting old and confused. I''m not fit to serve you


    anymore."


    Elijah''s gaze moved away from Lacey, tiredly saying, "You go rest! Don''t talk to her about such


    Lacey responded with an "okay," not daring to say more.


    After lunch, Elijah took Maka for a walk.


    The temperature was still low, and the wind was bone-chilling.


    "Maka, are you cold?" Elijah held her hand tightly.


    Maka shook her head, "Elijah, I don''t want to treat my illness anymore."


    "You can''t do that," Elijah immediately rejected her, "Violette and I divorced because our rtionship


    fell apart. Even if I break up with Dr. Sarah, I won''t get back together with Violette. So don''t be affected


    by our issues."


    Maka tried hard to understand what he was saying.


    "I hope you can experience more happiness in the future," he said softly.


    Maka was silent for a moment before suddenly saying, "You''re not happy, Violette isn''t happy. Only


    I''m happy every day. Not treating my illness, I''m happy every day. So, I don''t want to treat it."


    Her tone was unusually determined.


    Elijah looked into her eyes, feeling bitter, "How can you know you won''t be happy after you''re cured?

    And even if you don''t treat your illness, I won''t break up with Dr. Sarah for now. Because she''s


    pregnant with my child."


    "Am I going to be an aunt?" Maka naturally followed up.


    Elijah''s heart tightened, his gaze at her becameplex, "Maka, who told you the word ''aunt''?"


    Maka pulled her hand out of his and turned her back to him. She always avoided answering


    questions like this if she didn’t want to.


    Elijah walked quickly in front of her, holding her shoulders, looking down at her, "Tell me."


    "Elisa said my brother''s child will call me aunt," Maka looked up, asking him, "Brother, am I Ian''s


    aunt?"


    Elisa was the nanny who took care of her at school.


    Her question made Elijah''s body tense.


    "What do you think?" he said, recalling Violette''s answer at the time.


    Violette said Ian was adopted.


    "I hope he''s your child, so he''ll have to call me aunt," Maka''s voice was emotional, "If you have a


    child with Dr. Sarah, they won''t like you anymore."


    "I don''t need them to like you. I just want you to be healthy." Elijah''s eyes became dim, feeling a little


    sad.


    On the first working day after the holidays, Mike couldn''t go to thepany. He had to take care of the


    kids at home.


    Violette had been in Albina''s room for four days and hadn''te out. She kept watching the video


    recorded during the Christmas family gathering, over and over again. She could never have imagined


    that it would be thest image of her mother in this world.


    Mike and the two children had breakfast together,


    He nned to take them out to y today. If they passed by thepany, he''d take the kids to check it


    out.


    Suddenly, Albina''s bedroom door opened.
