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.

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?
