How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue novel Chapter 365

Of course.

After all, this was the most luxurious suite in the hospital.

Rosemary pushed Elodie’s meal tray toward her. “Here, this just came in from the nurse.”

Elodie nodded in thanks.

Sometimes, you had to admit—money really did buy a certain kind of comfort.

For the next two days, three meals arrived on schedule, always fresh, never the same twice.

Emile had been moved out of intensive care. He was awake now, though still unable to move much.

As soon as Esmeralda heard the news, she insisted on visiting with Alexander. Elodie barely had time to protest before the two of them managed to carve out a visit.

Esmeralda took one look at Elodie, who hadn’t slept properly in two days, and crossed the room to gently cup her cheek. “There are nurses and aides for a reason, you know. Let yourself rest a little.”

Alexander, moving quietly, set down a bag of health supplements they’d brought. Emile was finally asleep.

Elodie led them out to the sitting room just outside the bedroom.

Once they were settled, Alexander and Esmeralda shared an update they’d picked up during the past couple of days. “Word on the street,” Alexander said, “is that Neural Intelligence and TerraCore Technologies have signed a partnership. They’re working together on a new product.”

Esmeralda folded her arms and let out a dry laugh. “So the two of them team up, and then use VistaLink Technologies’ new system as their base. That Sylvie Fielding—she’s cunning, isn’t she?”

TerraCore Technologies specialized in advanced materials, and lately had branched into drone production tech. Now, with Neural Intelligence on board, they’d be able to supplement each other’s strengths—Neural Intelligence handling everything beyond the flight control system, making for a more complete product.

But there was no question: Neural Intelligence wouldn’t be the one calling the shots.

Elodie raised an eyebrow. Sylvie certainly moved quickly.

At least they wouldn’t be left out in the cold this time.

But still…

“If Neural Intelligence wanted a partnership, shouldn’t it have been with Nexus Analytics?” she wondered aloud.

Over the past two days at the hospital, Jason from Nexus Analytics had come by to finalize the patent license agreement. Neural Intelligence choosing TerraCore instead was a surprise.
