Chapter 493


    "Elijah, have you already taken Maka for her checkup? Weren''t we supposed to go together?" Sarah


    sounded upset.


    She drove to the Bourne family''s ce only to find out that Elijah had already left with Maka.


    Elijah watched theings and goings at the hospital entrance, his voice cold. "Her test results came


    back fine."


    "That''s good. I''ve started prepping for Maka''s third treatment," Sarah said excitedly. "I''ve got a new


    approach. If all goes well, we can do the third surgery in the second half of the year."


    Elijah, "Can you guarantee the third surgery will get her back to normal?"


    Sarah was taken aback. Even the best doctors didn’t dare to promise they could cure their patients. "I


    can''t be 100% sure, but I think..."


    “If you can''t be sure, then stop!” He said coldly. “Come find me when you''re 100% sure.”


    Stop? Sarah was shocked.


    "Elijah... are you suggesting we stop Maka''s treatment? Or... have you found a better doctor?" Her


    voice trembled slightly, sounding a little lost.

    She never imagined that Elijah would make such a decision. Did he know that she wasn''t the one who


    performed the previous two surgeries on Maka? But if he knew, he wouldn''t have called herst


    night to see Maka!


    “No.” His voice was devoid of warmth. “Sarah, the money I gave you could''ve been used to buy


    anything you wanted. But you chose to give it to Alexa.”


    Violette hated him so much, not only because he abandoned their rtionship to protect a secret, but


    also because of the tension between him, Sarah, and Alexa.


    He spentst night in Maka''s room, thinking a lot. The more he thought, the more he understood


    Violette''s pain. Sure, everyone had their own sufferings, past mistakes had been made, but in the


    future, he wanted to avoid repeating them as much as possible.


    When Sarah heard his reason, tears silently fell. “I''m sorry... Elijah, I didn''t realize you still had such


    strong feelings for Violette.”


    “You knew.” Elijah saw through her lie.


    Sarah never thought he would be so blunt!


    “Sarah, we don''t need to keep in contact.” He said the most decisive words in the calmest tone.


    Sarah wanted to scoff, but she couldn''t. Just the day before, she was bragging to Alexa about being


    able to earn at least another billion dors from Elijah. Maybe her actions were too much, and karma


    decided to bite her?


    But didn''t he force her to do this? If he had even a shred of affection for her, she wouldn''t need his


    money.


    The call ended. Elijah hung up the phone.


    Sarah cried till her eyes were red, feeling as if the world had ended. Elijah didn''t need her anymore!


    She had nothing left.


    She returned home in a daze, and only realized when she reached the door that she had ended up at


    Alexa and her father''s ce.


    "Sarah, what''s wrong?" Alexa happened to be home that day.


    Alexa looked serious. "Is it really that bad?" Read at


    Alexa handed her a few tissues. "Stop crying. I''vee up with a thorough n, but I need your help."
