Chapter 63
Wake Up! You’re My Ex Now (Cordelia)
Chapter 63 Her Confidence
Cordelia glared at him, and her phone continued to receive
notifications where people were mentioning her. Elijah glanced at her,
suggesting, âArent you going to respond? Tell them that I am your dear
husband.â
Cordelia blinked, looking slightly bewildered at Elijah. She wondered
when this man had started being willing to admit their relationship.
Back then, they hadn't even had a wedding or any ceremony.
On the night they got their marriage certificate, he returned home,
reeking of alcohol, and slept with her rudely.
Since then, she had become nothing more like a mascot. She was just a
nobody in this family.
It was only much later that information began to trickle out through the
public channels that Elijah was already married.
Considering his attitude back then, what gave him the right to ask her
to acknowledge their relationship in her circles?
So, Cordelia simply lowered her gaze and chose not to respond.
Elijah glanced at her several times and noticed that she remained
unresponsive to everything that was happening. He frowned and didn't
say anything else.
When they arrived at Eva's small apartment, there was a commotion
inside.
Elijah opened the door and walked in to find Eva berating two new
caregivers who had just arrived.
Upon seeing Elijah, Eva immediately put away her angry look and
smiled at him. âElijah, you finally came. I've been waiting for you.â
âGood girl."
Elijah looked at her, reminding her to cooperate with the treatment.
Cordelia looked at them coldly and acted oblivious to everything that
was happening between them.
âElijah, why did you send these two strangers to take care of me? I only
need you. I don't need the outsiders,â Eva said in a spoiled tone.
Elijah wasn't sure why Cordelia wanted two caregivers, so he looked to
her for an explanation.
Cordelia spoke calmly, âMiss Lewis, your treatment requires a daily
herbal bath. Do you think Elijah can take off your clothes and bathe you
every day?â
Eva widened her eyes and then blushed, lowering her head shyly.
Cordelia didn't bother to watch her feigning in front of Elijah and
turned around to get prepared. She also instructed the two caregivers
standing by, âLift Miss Lewis onto the couch.â
âOkay.â
The two caregivers were particularly efficient. Before Eva could react,
she was already lying on the couch.
Seeing Cordelia approaching with needles, Eva immediately started
screaming, âElijah, come here! Quick! Come to my side!"
âMiss Lewis, you can't feel your legs. It won't hurt,â Cordelia said
emotionlessly as she swiftly and accurately inserted the needles into
Eva's legs.
Eva struggled to raise her head to see what Cordelia was doing to her
legs but couldnt get a clear view.
Elijah remained standing at a distance, watching everything with a
detached gaze.
It was the first time he had seen Cordelia using acupuncture on a
patient. She did it with such case, as if it were second nature to her,
confidently asserting her dominance in this field.
With an icy expression on her petite face, she seemed to be telling the
world that she was the queen in this domain.
Eva noticed Elijahâs gaze had been fixed on Cordelia all this time. She
bit her lip and suddenly burst into tears,
âElijah, why are you ignoring me? I called you so many times, and you
never answered me..."
Only then did Elijah step forward and walk towards Eva.
