Chapter 64 Explain

“Where does it hurt?” Elijah asked gently.

"Here, it feels stuffy.” Eva pointed to her chest.

Cordelia turned away, unable to bear this pretentious affection any

longer.

“Miss Carter!” Elijah called after her.

“Ill

go out for a walk. I'll come back later to get those needles out.”

Without looking back, Cordelia left the room.

Elijah immediately ordered the two caregivers, “Watch her closely and

don't let her move around.”

Then, he hurriedly chased after Cordelia.

“Elijah! Elijah!”

Gritting her teeth, Eva clenched her fists and punched the sofa

repeatedly. “That bitch!”

The two caregivers looked at Eva indifferently, and neither of them paid

attention to her.

Cordelia left Eva's apartment and wandered around the community.

Then, she saw a bench under a lush tree, so she went over and sat

down to enjoy the shade.

From a distance, she saw Elijah following her, his footsteps steady and

purposeful. Soon, he walked up to her.

He smiled and said half-jokingly, “You've been through a lot, Miss

Carter.”

Cordelia sarcastically remarked, “I didn’t realize you had such patience

with Miss Lewis.”

Elijah approached her slowly, sat down, and wanted to hug her.

However, Cordelia glared at him.

Elijah pulled back his hand and coaxed her, “I know Eva has a bad

temper. Please be understanding. What would you like for dinner

tonight? I can take you out.”

“No need. I want to go back and rest,” Cordelia replied coldly.

"Alright, then I'll accompany you home,” Elijah said.

Cordelia glanced at him. Perhaps in his mind, accompanying her was

the greatest favor he could offer.

In the past, she had longed for Elijah to come home more often.

However, now, she didn't need that anymore.

She had her own career, her own friends, and plenty to learn. She was

no longer like before, waiting at home in vain just for

his return.

Elijah looked at her strained face and was about to say

something, but Cordelia interrupted him, “Let's go. It's about time to

collect the needles.”

“Okay.”

Cordelia swiftly collected the needles. In no time, all the needles on

Eva's legs were back in her needle case.

Afterward, Cordelia instructed the caregivers to prepare water and fill

the bathtub, where she threw in a packet of herbs from her bag.

“Ladies, please help Miss Lewis undress and bring her to the bathroom.

She should soak for thirty minutes,” Cordelia instructed.

After speaking, she left and returned to the living room.

Not long after, Eva's scream came from the bedroom. “Don’t touch me!

I can do it myself. Elijah, I don't want them to undress me.”

Elijah frowned but remained seated on the couch, as if rooted to the

spot.

Cordelia, on the other hand, looked serious and waited for news from

the caregivers.

Eva's screams gradually faded until they disappeared entirely.

After a while, the two caregivers emerged from the bedroom, dripping

with water. “Mr. Hansen, your wife has quite the

temper. We've taken care of patients with mental disorders, but today

was something else,” one of the caregivers remarked.

Cordelia, the real “Mrs. Hansen,” pursed her lips and played with her

fingers, choosing not to correct them.

Elijah remained calm and replied coolly, “Who told you she’s my wife?”

“Miss Lewis said it herself!” One of the caregivers said.

Cordelia looked at Elijah with a hint of a smile, as if silently mocking

him, saying, “Let's see how you explain this one.”
