Chapter 39 You Know Many Men
There was a dead silence on the other end of the phone.
An hour later, Cordelia was sitting on the bed in the emergency room of the hospital. The doctor
dressed the wound on her arm, covered it with gauze, and gave her a tetanus injection.
The driver was arrested. The policemen made a record and left.
After the doctor, the nurse, and the policemen left, Elijah came to Cordelia, grabbed her shoulders, and
held her in his arms.
Cordelia caught a whiff of his perfume. She knew that it was Eva’s favorite brand.
She struggled but immediately touched her wound. She let out a cry of pain and then calmed down.
“Why are you getting angry with me again?” Elijah’s tone was very gentle, as if he was coaxing her
patiently.
“What do you think?” Cordelia looked away, not looking at Elijah.
Elijah raised his eyebrows. “Are you really angry? Why?”
Cordelia looked for her phone and found that her personal phone was missing, so she stopped talking.
Elijah was helpless. He took out her personal phone from his pocket and gave it to her. “The police
found it on the scene. Did you give up your life just because you were angry with me?”
As Elijah teased her, Cordelia felt more wronged, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Thinking of the shocking few minutes just now, she trembled unconsciously.
Elijah held her tightly, caressed her, and whispered, “It’s all over. It’s okay.
“I didn’t know that you were so powerful. You almost made that driver disabled.”
“Elijah, why did you block my number?” Cordelia suddenly raised her voice and asked, “What are you
dissatisfied with me? Tell me.”
Elijah was taken aback. He took out his phone from his pocket and found that Cordelia’s number was
blocked. He was puzzled at first, and then his eyes suddenly turned cold.
“Maybe it was an operation error.”
Cordelia sneered. Elijah must be kidding.
Struggling out of his arms, she said coldly, “It’s getting late. I’m going to sleep.”
“Okay. Good night.”
As Elijah said, he got up and went to the sofa beside him. His eyes were dull and full of mixed
emotions.
Cordelia didn’t look at him. She closed her eyes and soon fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, when Cordelia woke up, Elijah had left.
As soon as she picked up her phone, she received Eason’s call.
“Cordelia, I’m now in Beilve City.” C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
“I know, but I can’t meet you now. I’m in the hospital.” Cordelia lowered her head, looked at her
bandaged arm, and smiled helplessly.
Eason’s tone suddenly became serious. He asked her about the address and rushed over after a
while.
When the tall Eason walked in from the door, Cordelia was stunned.
This man had deep eyes, a high nose, and full lips. His cold and solemn aura made people scared.
Cordelia thought for a fleeting moment that his eyes seemed familiar.
“I’m Eason Holland.” Eason’s voice was attractive. He spoke in a formal tone.
“Mr. Holland.” Cordelia smiled at him.
Unfortunately, the first time she met the legendary Eason, she was in such an embarrassing state.
“Just call me Eason.” Eason looked at Cordelia intently. “When you go to Grant City, you can give each
of us a number.”
Cordelia was amused by his words. She didn’t expect Eason to tell cold jokes despite his serious. look.
“Do you come to Beilve City to talk business?”
“No…”
Before Eason could answer, Elijah’s cool voice came from the door. “Iloney, you know many men.”
