Chapter 743 Aren’t I Considerate?
Elise brought a chair and sat by the bed.
Reaching out, she took hold of Trevor’s shriveled hands. Her heart ached for him.
He was so young and at his prime, but could only lay in the hospital for most of his life. It was such a pity.
Elise had already sent the invitation to Claude, asking him to perform Trevor’s surgery, but she had not received any reply.
She would wait a bit more but if Claude refused, she would have to take extreme measures.
At that point, someone knocked on the door.
“It’s just me. Come on in.” Elise thought it was Yvonne.
“So, this is my brother-in-law. What a fine gentleman.”
Hearing the voice of a man, Elise knew she had made a mistake. Turning around, she saw Elijah, with Marcus trailing behind him.
“He is such an amazing human. He should be out there conquering the world, and not laying here. It’s such a pity,” Elijah said as sympathy filled his face.
“What are you hinting at?” Elise stood up, ready to fight. “Russell is head of the Anderson Family now. You should look for him for whatever you’re looking for.”
“Ha! You think that without the Boyle Family’s recognition, he could become the head of the family?” Elijah mocked.
“That’s your issue; it has nothing to do with me. Whatever your family has given the Anderson Family, you can take everything back. As for the other stuff, I can’t, and won’t, give it up,” Elise told him firmly.
“Come on. Why are you always resisting me?” Elijah feigned being hurt. “I came here bringing medicine for Trevor. You’re going to kick me out?”
“Why would I believe you?” She narrowed her eyes.
“No reason at all. If you worked that little mind of yours, you’d understand. The Anderson Family owns the largest pharmaceutical company in Cittadel, but it was my family that brought them up to where they stand today, so of course we’re their predecessor,” Elijah said proudly with his hands behind him.
At his words, Elise pondered for a while and did not refute him.
As the saying went, there was always someone greater out there. Maybe the Boyle Family really concocted medicine that she had never heard of.
Up until now, she had not found more information about them. Perhaps there could be a bigger secret lying in the dark.
Elijah saw that she was conflicted and tried to lure her once again. “Didn’t the medicine I gave you for Trevor work? The result speaks for itself, doesn’t it?”
“It was you who got Bryce to bring it to me?” Elise let out a cold laugh.
“Yup.” Elijah smiled, sounding as if he was asking for praise. He leaned his body forward while holding onto the railing at the end of the bed. “Aren’t I considerate?”
“‘Considerate’? If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t need to work like a slave under Bryce. I still owe him ten rounds of competition,” Elise mocked sarcastically.
“Competition?” Elijah did not know of this. He turned around and questioned Marcus with a dark expression, “What’s going on?”
“I’ll look into it.”
Marcus answered carefully before he swiped out his phone and walked out.
Elijah’s eyes darkened for a moment, but when he turned around and looked at Elise, he was all smiles. “Ellie, don’t worry. I’ll get Bryce off the black market and get a new owner. Is that alright?”
“Whatever you want to do has nothing to do with me,” Elise said. She did not want to deal with Bryce from the start, anyway.
“Then, let’s talk about something related to you.” Elijah changed the topic. “I’ll look for the doctor and medicine Trevor needs, and you have a meal with me. How’s that?”
Hearing that, Elise laughed grimly. “Even if you found them, what would happen? If they didn’t want to perform the surgery, I can’t force them, right?”
“I have my ways,” Elijah said confidently. “It’s up to you if you’ll believe me or not.”
