Chapter 337 Too Soft-Hearted

Cordelia didn't refuse, but she only lightly embraced him.

Afterward, Elijah took Cordelia to the reserved restaurant.

"In comparison, the food in Beilve City and Grant City are more to my

liking. The food in Bloom City is too strong." Cordelia chatted casually

with Elijah.

"Mr. Carter also wants to protect you. If you were in Beilve City, troubles

would inevitably come your way," Elijah said understandingly.

"I have troubles even when I'm outside, but I just don't mind,” Cordelia

said calmly.

Elijah paused, then remembered that Imogen had reported to him that

Laura had been continuously harassing Cordelia in various ways.

So he said, "Mr. Price has finally made his decision. He expelled Clare,

Laura, and the pharmacist who had frequent contact with my father.”

Cordelia smiled faintly and didn't say anything.

If this was enough to calm Elijah's anger, then he was too nice.

Zach might have underestimated Elijah because he was young and had

only been in charge of the Hansen Group for a few years.

No wonder Milo said that Zach had been acting really confused lately.

"Speaking of which, does your father really have his eyes on that

pharmacist?" Cordelia asked.

"Young, scheming, and willing to take risks. A woman like that naturally

attracts a middle-aged man," Elijah replied calmly.

"How is Edith doing lately?” Cordelia asked with concern.

"She has adjusted. The marriage is over, and there's no turning back.

Fortunately, my father's settlement satisfied her, or she might not have

been able to move on,” Elijah said with a faint smile.

"Her life is starting anew," Cordelia said, happy for Edith

She was lucky to leave the Hansen family so smoothly and with a

generous settlement.

However, at that moment, Elijah's phone suddenly rang loudly.

Seeing it was a call from home, Elijah immediately screened the phone.

But the phone rang again and again.

"Maybe something urgent is happening at your home. You should

answer it," Cordelia reminded him.

"What could possibly be wrong with them?" Elijah seemed irritated but

followed Cordelia's advice and reluctantly answered the call.

"Elijah, come back quickly. Your father... He's not doing well." Gideon's

voice sounded weak as if he was the one not doing well.

Elijah was momentarily stunned and then said, "What kind of trick are

you playing now?"

He hadn't forgotten that the last time Gideon had said Gabe wasn't

feeling well, he had locked him and Daisy in a room to have sex.

"Hurry, please..."

"Sir Hansen, Sir Hansen..."

There was a commotion on the other end of the line, and Elijah didn't

hear Gideon's voice anymore.

He suddenly felt restless.

Tonight, Gideon might not be lying.

So Elijah stood up, grabbing his coat.

"Cordelia, will you come with me? I..." Elijah’s face looked complicated,

and his expression was not pleasant.

The prospect of life and death still terrified him.

Cordelia could see that he was reminded of Tristan's incident, so she

immediately said, "I'll go with you."

She was a doctor and had long been accustomed to life-and-death

situations.

Moreover, at this moment, Cordelia felt that she should be by Elijah's

side and didn't want to see him facing his inner fear alone.

She was just too softhearted, especially when she faced Elijah.
