Chapter 68
Just a single sentence easily shattered her defenses.
She left at six in the morning and turned off her phone, so he couldn't reach her and ended up here.
Does this mean he was worried about her?
"You must be Elijah, right?" Albina quickly broke the awkward silence. "Violette was feeling a bit off
today, so I took her out for a breather. She's okay now. I'll go fetch you a glass of water!"
Violette: "Mom!"
Elijah: "No need."
They both spoke at the same time.
The atmosphere got even more awkward.
"Mom, he's leaving soon. You don't have to fuss over him. Just sit down and rest." Violette guided her
mother to the couch.
She was subtly trying to kick him out.
Taking the hint, he stood up, saying to Albina, "I'll be leaving now, I'll visit you another day."
As Albina tried to see him off, Violette stopped her.
"Mom, I'll be off too. You rest well at home today."
With that said, Violette followed Elijah out.
Once they left, Violette told him, "Don't come here again."
His face turned colder as if he was at his limit.
"I don't need your pretentious concern," she continued. "If you truly care about me, divorce me."
With that, she stormed off.
Elijah watched her frail figure with an increasingly icy gaze.
Despite their physical proximity, their hearts were miles apart.
Kaleb was rushed to the hospital at dawn and immediately underwent finger reattachment surgery. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
If the severed finger is well preserved, surgery within several hours after injury could result in a good
chance of recovery.
Even if it doesn't fully restore to normal, at least it wouldn't end up disabled.
After the surgery, Kaleb didn't wake up until two in the afternoon.
When he woke up, he looked terrified as if he had lost his mind.
"Kaleb! Don't be scared! You're in the hospital! You're safe! Nobody can hurt you anymore!" His mother,
Melina, consoled him in tears. "Your dad has already paid your debt."
Travis's face wasn't looking too good, having coughed up a lot for his son's debt.
He had always known that his son was a screw-up,
but last night, Kaleb lost way too much!
Losing a few hundred thousand in the past was something that Travis could tolerate, but last night,
Kaleb had lost over fifty million, which was far beyond his threshold.
Of course, Travis didn't pay the full amount.
They chopped off Kaleb's finger, so he only had to pay half.
