Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1545

Nala stuttered and couldn't explain clearly; she simply kept crying. "She's my aunt, and she's a bit fierce," she finally managed to say.

Elijah embraced his daughter, gently patting her back. "You're doing well, Nala. Take your time. How was she tough with you?"

But, no matter how they probed, Nala couldn't express the full story. She was bewildered. Why did Lena, who was usually gentle and kind, suddenly change and look at her angrily? Did Lena dislike her now because she was sick?

Nala burst into tears, even coughing due to her weakened condition. Elijah swiftly carried her back to her room. Doctors and nurses didn't delay, immediately examining her.

Kasey stood disoriented outside, leaning against the wall. She wanted to cry, but the tears wouldn't come.

After a while, Elijah emerged. He looked at her with a hint of pity. He patted her shoulder, and they exchanged glances before tightly embracing each other.

"Elijah, did I do something wrong?"

"No," Elijah reassured her.

He understood that Kasey had acted out of maternal love, even if it had led to irrational actions.

"I still find Sasha very suspicious," Elijah murmured. He glanced at his feet, his thoughts consumed by the past few days. A question loomed in his mind.

Sasha's mother was Krystal, a human trafficker. So, who was Lena's mother involved in human trafficking?

Elijah bit his lip. He felt like he was navigating a maze with no clear exit.

His phone rang. "Mr. Chriss, everything's been arranged."

"How's it going?"

"The prison has responded. You can visit Ms. Mosley next weekend."

Elijah ended the call, knowing that next weekend could unravel all the mysteries.
