Chapter 189


    Chapter 189 Meet Elijah Again


    After Cordelia set off on her journey, Elijah personally visited a pharmacy in the Unde.


    He tried various methods to persuade one of the pharmacy''s apprentices. Eventually, the apprentice


    reluctantly agreed to send him a photo of Cordelia but strictly limited it to that.


    "Sir, if it weren''t for your deep affection for Evie, I would never agree to send you the photo," the young


    apprentice said seriously.


    Elijah nodded solemnly.


    "If you like Evie so much, why don''t you tell her? If I were interested in a girl, I would confess my


    feelings to her right away."


    The young apprentice appeared to be only eighteen or neen years old, but he had a thoughtful look


    about him.


    Elijah pondered for a moment and replied, "Even if you knew she might have feelings for someone


    else? Even if there was a good chance she would reject you and embarrass you?"


    The apprentice waved his hand and said dismissively, "I would still let her know! What if? Pride is


    nothing. If you felt embarrassed, so be it!"


    Elijah pursed his lips and quietly put on his sunsses. "Thank you. I''ll wait for your photo."


    A monthter, Cordelia still hadn''t returned to Beilve City.


    She was currently in a water town, offering medical consultations at a local pharmacy of the Unde.


    During this time, her fame had spread far and wide, attracting many patients, including influential


    figures, which made herwork more and more extensive.


    "Next, please."


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Cordelia was busy jotting down notes when she sensed a new patient before her. She didn''t look up


    and asked, "What seems to be the trouble?"


    "I have difort in my heart."


    Cordelia''s pen paused, and she raised her gaze to the person sitting in front of her.


    It was Elijah. He sat in front of her, wearing sunsses and with an expressionless face. His gaze,


    concealed beneath the shades, was likely fixed firmly on her at that moment.


    "Let me check your pulse first."


    Cordelia reached out her hand calmly and ced it on his inner wrist.


    As she casually nced at the ceiling, carefully feeling his pulse, a slight hint of worry shed in her


    eyes.


    "Doctor, is there no hope for me?" Elijah asked calmly.


    Cordelia looked at him calmly and said, "Your heart is fine, but you seem to have some kidney


    deficiency. I suggest taking some medication to regte it."


    Elijah''s body visibly stiffened, and then he smirked slightly. "Don''t make fun of me."


    "Have you been experiencing insomnia, night sweats, and ack of energy recently?" Cordelia asked


    with a serious tone.


    Elijah pondered for a moment before replying, "Yes, I have experienced insomnia and vivid dreams,


    and I do have night sweats. As for ack of energy, I won''t know until I try."


    Cordelia''s delicate lips tightened, refusing to let him lead the conversation further. She swiftly wrote a


    prescription for him.


    "Okay, next one."


    Cordelia didn''t waste time with Elijah.


    As Elijah took the prescription and stood up, he said, "I''ll be waiting outside for you."


    Cordelia continued to lower her head, focused on her notes, ignoring him.


    What he chose to do was his own business. Cordelia didn''t care.


    The whole afternoon, Cordelia attended to over thirty patients.


    After finishing her work, she felt exhausted, and her mood was not pleasant.


    She went to the changing room to change her clothes, then, as usual, intended to walk back to the


    guesthouse where she was staying.


    As soon as she stepped out, an umbre covered her head.


    It had been raining all afternoon, sometimes gently and sometimes heavily.


    Cordelia looked down and saw that Elijah''s pants were halfway soaked.


    He had been standing outside the entire afternoon.
