I chuckled “Don’t say that about Elijah.”
Evan’s eyes in up. “Ari, you still ke Elijah, don’t you?”
Before he could finish, he saw my expression and immediately shut up.
“Don’t get involved in my business with Elijah anymore. Just focus on your studies,” I said
Evan was in eighth grade now. He was about to start high school
Since I had lost my memory, 1 didn’t know how he was doing in school However, he often showed up at the hospital, and guessed he probably wasn’t doing well.
