Chapter 177
Elijah didn't want Sarah to make any additional demands.
So, throwing money at her seemed like the best solution.
Sarah looked shocked, "Mr. Bourne, don't. Makayla's illness... it's not something that can be fixed with
just one surgery. You must have noticed, her intellect has improved, but only by a bit. Once she
recovers from this surgery, if you still want to continue her treatment, there might be a second surgery,
a third one..."
Sarah's words left Elijah speechless.
Sarah had come over during her vacation.
She might not have such ample time in the future.
"Dr. Sarah, what are your plans for your career?" Elijah asked.
He was certainly going to continue Makayla's treatment.
If her intelligence could reach the point of self-sufficiency, that would be ideal!
Sarah got the gist of what he was saying.
"Mr. Bourne, I'm actually in a pretty awkward and confused stage right now. I'm 34 and I've never been
in a relationship, which is a constant source of worry for my family. So, my career isn't my top priority at
the moment."
She was basically screaming, "Marry me if you want to repay me or if you want me to keep treating
your Makayla!"
Elijah frowned slightly.
"Ms. Sarah, I could introduce you to some potential boyfriends," Elijah said after a moment of
hesitation.
Sarah was somewhat disappointed, but she still smiled, "I didn't expect to hear that from you."
"Because I need you to continue treating Makayla." Elijah was blunt, "I'm not getting married again in
this lifetime."
Sarah was drawn to his handsome and striking features, "Mr. Bourne, I don't necessarily have to get
married. I think, after getting to know you, it would be hard for me to be interested in other men. Why
don't we date? That way, my family will stop nagging me and I can focus on researching Makayla's
illness."
Sarah had found Elijah's Achilles heelm which was
Makayla's illness.
He was willing to spend a fortune on Makayla, so now Sarah only wanted the title of 'girlfriend'. Wasn't
that reasonable?
Was he not willing to continue Makayla's treatment?
She was pushing him.
Until he found another doctor who could treat Makayla, he could only be threatened by her.
...
At the Dennis Group.
Violette returned to her office after a morning of meetings.
Her secretary came over and reported, "Ma'am, Reaves from MindMeld Technologies would like to see
you. He used to be our vice president."
Violette had a very strong impression of Reaves.
When the Dennis Group went bankrupt, he even specifically called her to curse her to hell.
Violette strode into the reception room, where
Reaves got up from the sofa and approached Violette.
"Violette, long time no see, you've gotten even more beautiful."
Violette tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear and said succinctly, "What brings you here today?" © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Reaves laughed, "You've brought back all the old employees with double the salary, which has made
the Dennis Group famous. I wonder if there's a chance for me to come back?"
Violette raised an eyebrow, "No."
Reaves' smile disappeared instantly.
He didn't expect Violette to disrespect him so much!
"I was just asking! I'm doing well at MindMeld Technologies!" Reaves tried to save himself the
embarrassment.
Violette: "Is there anything else you need?"
Reaves: "... I just came to look around!"
Violette retorted, "Do you think this place is a zoo or a cafe?"
Reaves got up angrily and stormed out.
Violette calmly returned to her office and took a sip of water. Then, her phone rang.
She put down her water glass and answered the call.
"Violette! Elijah and that female doctor he found are together now!" Odette said angrily, "I don't
understand! I thought Makayla was his one true love! Why is he with another woman?!"
