Chapter 280 Jealousy
Seeing Cordelia's reaction, Elijah patted her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, she won't make any
trouble."
Cordelia smiled softly at him.
At this time, Cordelia's cell phone rang.
"It's Milo's assistant," Cordelia told Elijah and went to a quiet place to answer the phone.
Not long after, Cordelia came back. "I can't join you for dinner. It's an emergency."
Elijah immediately said, "Do you need a ride?"
"No, this patient is quite special and requires high confidentiality," Cordelia said as she picked up the
bag.
After all, Grant City was full of surprises. One would never know who he was dealing with.
"I'll wait for you at the hotel, then." Elijah looked at her deeply.
"Okay!" With that said, Cordelia held Elijah's face and kissed him.
Being so active, she was clearly compensating him.
Elijah said lightly, "No need to rush. The night is still long."
Cordelia blushed and wanted to pinch Elijah's waist. Considering that they were in a public place, she
held back.
As a result, Cordelia left for four hours.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Elijah couldn't help but call Cordelia, but it was Eason who answered.
"Why are you on the phone?" Elijah's face darkened instantly.
Eason said indifferently, "She is treating the patient."
If Cordelia said this, he would believe it. But Elijah didn't believe a word from Eason's mouth.
"What treatment is still being done so late? Why is Eason there?" At this moment, Elijah felt an
unprecedented tension.
He had nothing to say to Eason, so he quickly hung up the phone.
Later, Elijah stood at the hotel entrance like a rock.
At one o'clock in the morning, Elijah saw Eason's car approaching slowly. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
The car stopped, but no one inside got out for a long time.
Elijah stepped forward immediately. Only then did he see Cordelia open the car door.
She was exhausted, and Elijah felt distressed looking at her.
However, when he saw Eason approaching, the burning flame in his heart couldn't be suppressed.
"Cordelia is exhausted tonight. Let her go back to rest quickly!" Eason said lightly.
"On behalf of Cordelia, I thank you for bringing her back," Elijah said with restraint.
"You're welcome."
After speaking, Eason turned and left.
Looking at his sanctimonious appearance, Elijah was almost filled with anger.
He picked Cordelia up, obviously out of jealousy, but his tone was gentle and outrageous. "I'll carry you
back. Sleep if you want to!"
Cordelia leaned into his arms and quietly closed her eyes.
At this time, Eason looked back, just in time to see their backs. His pupil gradually dilated.
Upon waking up, Cordelia found it was already in the middle of the day, but the man beside her
disappeared.
His suitcase was gone as well.
Cordelia frowned deeply and quickly called Elijah. But his phone was turned off.
He left.
He didn't even leave her a message?
Cordelia was a little angry.
She fiddled with her phone casually and accidentally noticed that Elijah had called her last night, which
lasted 20 seconds.
She hesitated momentarily, thought about it, and called Eason to inquire.
Eason admitted it frankly and explained, "When you were treating my godfather last night, Elijah called
you, and I forgot to tell you."
Cordelia didn't know if she was too sensitive, but Elijah left without saying goodbye. Was it because of
this?
