Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1544

"I came here to sign the consent form for the compatibility test. Since I'm already here, I might as well drop by to see this little one!"

Elijah turned to Nala and said, "Nala, this is—"

Before he could introduce her, Nala shrank back, though her gaze remained fixed on Sasha's face. She said softly, timidly, "Hello, aunt."

Elijah and Kasey were surprised. "What did you say?" they asked in unison.

Nala lowered her head and fell silent.

Sasha smiled and said, "Didn't you both hear? She called me her aunt."

"But... it's your first time meeting, right?" Elijah's eyes showed a hint of suspicion. The situation felt increasingly strange, tying a knot in his heart.

Kasey, however, seemed unfazed.

Sasha looked at the two of them and asked, "What's with these expressions?"

"It's a bit unexpected," Elijah said calmly. "Nala is usually shy, especially with someone wearing a mask whose true face she can't see. Normally, she wouldn't initiate a greeting, except for before..."

Elijah stopped short, leaving the sentence unfinished.

Sasha smiled slightly, waved to Nala, and left the ward.

After a while, Elijah pulled Kasey aside and asked sternly, "What did you promise her?"

Kasey remained silent.

Elijah raised his voice. "Did you give her the money?"

"Elijah!" Kasey couldn't hold back any longer. "I'm doing this for our daughter!"
