"No problem! I can hold my liquor!"
"Same here! I can drink like a fish!"
"We can definitely take Elijah down together!"
Mike grinned as he read the group's boasts.
Why did he invite Elijah to the party? This was his true intention.
Messing with Violette meant messing with him.
He couldn't fight Elijah head-on, but he was confident they could drink him under the table!
Later that night...
Grace asked Elijah to bring Sarah to Old Manor for dinner.
After they arrived at Old Manor, they all sat down for dinner.
"Dr. Sarah, if you have time, you should come over more often," Grace said with a smile. "Elijah is
usually busy, so he might not have much time to spend with you."
Sarah nodded, "Sure, as long as you don't mind me being around, I'll come over more often."
"Why would I mind? You're so talented; I'd be thrilled to have you around!"
After the pleasant dinner, Grace called Elijah into her room for a private chat.
"Elijah, you and Dr. Sarah are a good match. You're not getting any younger, so maybe you should
consider getting engaged?" Grace suggested.
"I don't want to think about marriage until Makayla's illness is cured," Elijah replied, looking for an
excuse.
"Getting married and Makayla's treatment aren't mutually exclusive!"
"I want Makayla to be there when I get married."
"She can be there now! Didn't you say she's recovering well after her last surgery?" C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Elijah shook his head.
"Getting engaged isn't the same as getting married. Dr. Sarah gave up a high-paying job abroad for
you; you should at least show some appreciation," Grace said, probing. "What's really on your mind?"
"I won't get engaged," Elijah told his mother honestly. "and I don't love her. If I can find another doctor
to treat Makayla, I'll break up with her immediately. Mom, you're a woman; you should know that if I
marry her or get engaged with her, I'm only hurting her."
Grace's expression stiffened.
"Do you think your father and I had a deep emotional connection? Many couples only appear to be
happily married, but they can still spend the rest of their lives together."
Elijah: "Just because others can do it doesn't mean I want to live that way."
"You're too stubborn! If you insist on being this way, I can't do anything about it," Grace said, looking
dejected. Then she changed the subject, "In a month, it'll be your father's death anniversary."
Elijah's lips tightened, and he turned away. "I know. If there's nothing else, I'll leave now."
"Elijah, reconsider your relationship with Dr. Sarah!"
After leaving the room, Elijah told Sarah he had to go.
Sarah saw him off: "I'll stay here a little longer."
Elijah nodded.
Half an hour later, Grace went to her room to rest.
Kaleb finally found a chance to talk to Sarah alone.
"Dr. Sarah, I found out that my uncle is going to Violette's birthday party this Saturday," Kaleb revealed
his plan. "He'll definitely drink at the party. When he's drunk, you can go pick him up. If he's completely
wasted, you can do whatever you want to him. If he's tipsy, give him this bottle of water..."
Kaleb handed Sarah a bottle of water.
"This water will turn my uncle from a gentleman into a beast!"
Although it was a bit shameful, there were no other options.
Sarah took the water, her tone icy: "You're really good at doing such shameless things."
Kaleb’s face turned red at the remark: "Dr. Sarah, you asked me to find a way to get my uncle to sleep
with you; we have to use shameless tactics!"
"Shut up! I know he likes Violette! But so what? I'm his girlfriend now!" Sarah said arrogantly. "Once I
sleep with him, I'll force him to marry me!"
