The next day, bright and early.
Elijah showed up in the hospital's intensive care unit.
After Makayla drank the soup Elisa made last night, her consciousness became blurred and her limbs weak, and she fell asleep.
Waking up after a solid night's sleep, Makayla just stared blankly into space, until Elijah came.
"Makayla, how are you feeling today? Do you have a headache?" His gentle and familiar voice brought a spark of life back into Makayla's face.
"Why hasn't Violette come to see me?" Makayla sounded a bit upset.
His brow furrowed slightly, the warmth in his eyes vanished, "She won't come to see you. Makayla, stop thinking about her and her kids."
Makayla looked even more upset, "But you guys don't believe me... Violette spoke to me, and she asked me a lot of questions..."
Looking at his sister's pale face, he felt a sense of deep sorrow, "I believe you. Maybe she really did talk to you. But it was all in your dreams."
"Really?" Makayla stared at him, somewhat dazed.
Was it all just a dream?
"I often dream about our childhood, but when I wake up, I'm back in reality. Even though the scenes and sounds in the dream are so vivid, they are just dreams, not real." He explained patiently.
Makayla's eyes drooped slightly, as if accepting his explanation.
At 10 a.m., Elijah left the hospital to head to the office.
With Elisa and the bodyguard watching over Makayla, he felt reassured.
Even though she was a bit down today, it was better than her emotional outburst yesterday, more conducive for her recovery. Elisa mentioned that Sarah had prescribed Makayla some sedatives. Maybe it was the effect of the medication?
Sarah...
Last night, Violette told him to have a good married life with Sarah, which pissed him off so much that he couldn't sleep all night.
But now that he had calmed down, his thoughts had changed.
Elijah looked serious, "A financial loss won't hurt her. I won't return them, so she'll feel bad."
Joey was speechless. He was finding it increasingly hard to understand his boss's thinking. Did he want to hurt Violette, or did he not want to make her lose money?
As he left the office, Joey called Mike.
Mike: "How did it go? What did Elijah say?"
Joey pushed his glasses up on his nose, saying carefully, "Tell Violette to remove our boss from her blocklist! He's quite pissed about it."
Mike held his forehead, "If she removes him from the blocklist, will he agree to return the goods?"
Joey confidently said, "Yes."
Mike pushed open the door to Violette's office.
It was empty. She had rushed to the office early in the morning to deal with this messy issue.
