Chapter 492


    "Mr. Bourne, let''s head back." Lacey suggested, walking up to him after a while of waiting.


    She had no clue what he''d just been discussing with Violette, but it was clear he didn''t want Violette to


    feel wronged in any way. After all, Violette was carrying his child.


    Sarah''s behavior tonight was a bit much. But Lacey could see where she wasing from. Had


    Sarah''s baby not been miscarried, it would''ve been born by now.


    Elijah clenched his fists, striding into the living room.


    Sarah was sipping her coffee on the couch. She put down her coffee cup as soon as she saw him.


    "Elijah, I gave Maka a sleeping pill. She hasn''t slept for a whole day and night; she needs to rest."


    Sarah told him, "I need to take her to the hospital for a brain check-up in the morning."


    Elijah gave a simple nod of agreement.


    "Elijah, I heard you fainted today. Are you alright?" Sarah asked, concern stered on her face,


    "Whatever''s going on, take care of yourself. It''s not just for you, but also for Maka. She hasn''t fully


    recovered yet. She might need a third surgery."


    Elijah gave her a brief nce, "You should go."


    "Alright. Maka''s asleep. You should rest too." Sarah got up, passing him and leaving gracefully.


    After Sarah left, Elijah headed for Maka''s room.


    "Mr. Bourne, Maka just fell asleep." Elisa informed him immediately.


    "Go to rest. You''ve been working hard." Elijah told her.


    "As long as Maka gets better soon, this little hardship is nothing." Elisa replied, then reminded him,


    "Mr. Bourne, take care of yourself too. I heard Ms. Dennis is pregnant with your child. That''s great


    news. If Grace were still alive, she''d be over the moon about this."


    A shadow passed over Elijah''s face, showing a flicker of something unreadable in his eyes.


    After Elisa left, he sat down by the bed, gazing at Maka tenderly. Elijah and Maka, though


    siblings, didn''t look alike.


    Maka took after their father. He, on the other hand, took more after their mother.


    People wereplex. His least favorite person was his father, yet Maka, who resembled their


    father, never reminded him of him.


    Now both his parents were gone. His brother was much older, so they didn''t see each other very often.


    In his heart, Maka was the closest family he had.


    He didn''t want to lose her.


    ...


    The next morning.


    Maka woke up. She sat up from bed. Seeing Elijah asleep by her side, she gently patted his


    shoulder.


    "Why are you sleeping here?" Maka asked.


    Elijah woke up, rubbing his throbbing temples.


    "Maka, how are you feeling now?" Elijah asked.


    Maka blinked her big eyes and said, "I feel great! But, I''m so hungry!"


    Elijah sighed in relief, "I''ll have breakfast brought up. After you eat, we''ll head to the hospital for a


    check-up."

    Maka was silent for a few seconds, remembering yesterday''s events.


    "Maka, don''t worry. You''ll get better." Elijah said.


    "Okay." Maka said.


    This finally put Elijah at ease.
