Chapter 329


    "She''s got nannies and bodyguards looking out for her, hasn''t she? We haven''t had a drink in forever!"


    Brandon said, leaning in to whisper, "Violette left the country today."


    A shadow passed over Elijah''s eyes. Suddenly, he felt like drinking.


    Brandon had booked a table at the Rooftop Rendezvous. They stood by the rooftop railing, each with a


    bottle of booze in hand, silent as they stared out at the vast starry sky.


    The early spring night was a bit chilly.


    After they''d finished off a whole bottle, Brandon finally spoke, "Did you decide to get engaged to Sarah


    to repay her for helping Maka with her treatment?"


    "My mom wanted me to marry her, and Violette wanted me to settle down with her. Maka''s illness


    was just a secondary reason." He tilted his head back slightly, revealing his long, sexy neck, his


    Adam''s apple bobbing a few times as he spoke in a husky voice, "Violette was hell-bent on putting


    distance between us, so I gave her what she wanted."


    "Don''t be like this. It''s just an engagement, not a marriage. And even if you get married, you can


    always get a divorce!" Brandon looked at his tormented face and gave his shoulder aforting pat,


    "Come on, let''s drink some more."


    A weekter.

    Silverleaf Kindergarten.


    Maka suddenly appeared at the ssroom door of Ian and Rita. This time, there was no smile on


    her face. Before, every time she saw them, she would have a sweet, goofy smile.


    Ian and Rita came out of the ssroom.


    "Ian, Rita, I came to see you for thest time..." Maka said, tears sparkling in her eyes.


    "Why is it thest time? That bad guy... Did Elijah forbid you from seeing us?" Rita almost let it slip.


    Maka shook her head, hot tears streaming down her face, "I''m dying. I feel... I won''tst much


    longer."


    Ian and Rita looked at her helplessly, their hearts filling with grief.


    Maka took out the bag she brought.


    "I want to give you my most precious things. Because you are my best friends." Maka wiped away


    her tears, took out several jewelry boxes and a few beautiful picture books from the bag.


    These were her most valuable and favorite things. All bought by Elijah.


    Rita began to sob uncontrobly, "Maka, I don''t want you to die! You''re not going to die! Put these


    things away quickly! We don''t want them!"


    Elisa was wiping her tears on the side.


    After Maka''s surgery, she wouldpse into unconsciousness every night. Normally, if she slept well


    at night, she should be energetic during the day. But she was the exact opposite.


    Today Maka was in a bad mood, insisting on seeing Ian and Rita. Elisa had secretly brought her out


    without Elijah''s knowledge.


    "Maka, my mom came back from abroad this morning! I''ll take you to her! She can definitely save


    you!" Rita grabbed Maka''s hand and dragged her away, not caring about anything else.


    Ian felt this was too impulsive, and their mother might get angry, but he didn''t stop them.


    When he heard that Maka was going to die, his heart broke. Thest time he felt this way was when


    his grandmother passed away.
