Chapter 319


    "Woke up?" Elijah mocked.


    Violettey t on the bed, rubbing her aching temples with her fingers: "Wasn''t it your call that woke


    me up? What do you want from me?"


    "Violette, I saw you driving out of the neighborhood at 10:30st night. What were you up to sote?"


    he asked directly.


    At this, she raised her leg and kicked Mike at the end of the bed, giving him a meaningful look. Then


    she answered Elijah''s question.


    "Last night Mike got drunk outside, and the bar owner called me to go pay the bill, so I drove to find


    him... Who knew he''d be wasted and going crazy? I was afraid he''d wake the kids if I brought him


    home, so I found a nearby hotel and got a room... What''s the matter? Want to join him next time?"


    Elijah frowned. How was her answer different from what he had imagined?


    "Got any more questions?" she yawned, "I didn''t sleep at allst night because of this jerk Mike... I''m so


    tired. If you don''t have anything else, hang up!"


    As she was about to hang up, she remembered something and asked, "By the way, did you find your


    Maka?"


    Thisst sentence made Elijah give up. He never thought that Maka wasn''t sent to the hospital by


    her.


    She had left the neighborhood in her carst night to go to the bar. And she had gotten a room with


    Mike in a hotel, sleeping until now!


    "Yeah," Elijah said and hung up.


    Violette saw the call disconnected and dropped her pretense. She handed the phone back to Mike.


    Mike looked shocked: "Why did you lie?! And Maka... She''s lost again?!"


    Violette closed her eyes, her tone calm: "Yeah! Howe she''s so good at hiding? Why did she have


    to hide in my closet? If she hid in your closet or my mom''s, she would be dead by now."


    When Violette found herst night, her face was pale, and her breathing was weak. If she had found


    her a littleter, she would have died.


    Although she was mentally challenged, she was at least lucky. Twice she got lost, both times ending up


    at Violette''s house.


    "Oh my god! You didn''t perform surgery on her again, did you?" Mike guessed, "Did you let Sarah take


    the credit again?"


    Violette was shocked by his description and opened her eyes: "What do you mean credit? It should be


    called a ticking time bomb. If she wasn''t so weak and close to death when I found herst night, I


    would have just handed her over to Elijah. But if I didn''t cure her, Elijah would definitely think I did


    something to her again."


    "You just keep pretending! You must not have the heart to hand Maka over to Sarah for treatment."


    Mike saw through her lie at a nce, "You saidst time that Maka was an idiot and you''ve been


    feeling guilty ever since. This time you finally found an opportunity to make up for it, so you performed


    the surgery!"


    Mike''sprehension ability had improved by leaps and bounds!


    Mike: "Because you don''t want to get entangled with Elijah, a scumbag, you can only do good deeds in


    secret!"


    Violette: "Can you shut up and let me sleep? I''m so tired!"


    "Fine, I''ll let you sleep! Just make sure you sleep well, or when you wake up, there''ll be another piece


    of bad news tormenting you all night!" Mike hinted mysteriously.


    Violette didn''t fall for it: "Then you go away! What kind of weird habit is it to stare at someone


    sleeping?"


    Mike: "Hey! You didn''t bring your phone, and you didn''t bring your wallet, so when it''s time to check out


    Violette: "Can''t you just go to the front desk and pay more? I don''t even know how my two kids are


    doing. You go check on them."


    Mike: "Uh... I called Ian. He said he didn''t go to school today because Rita didn''t want to, and neither


    did he."


    Violette''s expression immediately turned serious, and she waved her hand at him: "Then you go take


    care of them! I don''t know if they''re hungry or not."


    Mike: "Don''t worry, they''ll order food by phone. Did you find a bodyguard for them?"

    Violette suddenly wasn''t sleepy anymore. She got out of bed, pulling her messy hair into a ponytail.


    "Not yet. I''m always worried about finding someone unreliable. But if I don''t find a bodyguard, I''m


    worried about the kids'' safety. They always like to run around."


    Mike raised an eyebrow and suggested, "How about I ask Joey for help?"


    She looked at him in shock: "Do you think my two kids have lived too long? Why don''t you just have me


    invite Elijah to be their bodyguard?"
