How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue novel Chapter 309

Elias paused, realizing he hadn’t properly thanked Elodie yet.

He scrolled through his contacts for a while before finally finding her and sending a quick message:

—[Thank you.]

He didn’t wait to see if Elodie would reply.

Looking up, he met Naylor’s gaze.

Naylor had just turned around, giving Elias a once-over with a frown. “Who brought you out earlier?”

Right to the point.

Elias tapped the back of his phone with his thumb, watching him. “You know her.”

Naylor looked skeptical.

But before he could press for more details, Elias’s phone rang. It was his father, Klein Whitaker.

Elias gestured for Naylor to take the call and moved aside.

Naylor answered. Klein’s voice came briskly: “I want you at next week’s tech conference. Track the policy updates. There’s someone I want you to meet.”

Naylor rubbed his brow, clearly uninterested. “We’ll see.”

Klein cut him off sharply. “This one’s different. Just come and get to know him.”

He hung up before Naylor could refuse.

Naylor lost interest in probing Elias for more details about today.

Instead, he floored the accelerator and drove Elias home.

Elodie spent the next three days holed up, researching disaster relief technology.

Somewhere in between, she received a reply from Dr. Latham.

He said Elias had been working closely with him on treatment and surgical plans, and he’d keep her posted once things were settled.

Elodie hadn’t expected Elias to be so efficient—he wasn’t halfhearted about any of it.

One less thing to worry about.

She felt lighter, and when she finally had a free moment, her phone rang. It was Charlie Sterling.

Some of her mentor’s former students were visiting, and Charlie invited her over to join their technical exchange.
