Wake Up! You’re My Ex Now (Cordelia) novel Chapter 182

Elijah and Ben drank until late at night.

Imogen couldn't stay up any longer and fell asleep in Ben's arms.

Ben lowered his head from time to time, caressing Imogen's face with a tenderness in his eyes.

Elijah had been drunk for a long time, but his mind was very sober. Noticing Ben's affection toward Imogen, he showed a mocking smile.

He couldn't speak clearly now, so he said silently in his heart, "Ben, wait and see. Sooner or later, you will be like me."

Later, Elijah insisted on going back to the Maple Villa.

Ben had no choice but to help him. Ben sent him back, threw him in the bedroom, and then left.

Lying on the bed, Elijah smelled the lingering fragrance of Cordelia on the pillow and hugged it in his arms.

He curled up, murmured her name, and fell asleep gradually...

A few days later, when Cordelia was preparing to travel, Imogen told her a piece of news.

"Cordelia, Elijah is sick and has had a fever for several days. He won't go to the hospital or take medicine. Ben asked me to ask you to go and pay a visit to him."

Imogen's tone was cautious on the phone, which made Cordelia feel she was a little strange.

"Imogen, why do I feel you sound very guilty? Are you lying?" Cordelia asked.

"No. What would I lie to you? I just... said something I shouldn't have said. Cordelia, I made a mistake." Imogen admitted her mistake very quickly.

Cordelia was helpless. "What did you say?"

"I... I accidentally told Elijah you had a crush on him before, and then he fell ill. That's why I feel guilty..." Imogen's voice became smaller as she spoke.

Hearing her words, Cordelia froze and then showed a wry smile. "I knew it. He doesn't believe me when I tell him. He would only believe it when hearing it from others. Imogen, do you think he deserves my sympathy?"

"He's not worth it. He deserves it. Let him go to hell!" Imogen said with indignation.
