She had been staying indoors and avoiding going out, feeling that no matter how threatening the person might be, they couldn't physically harm her.
In other words, if someone really wanted to kill her, they wouldn't use such a low-level method of intimidation by sending messages.
However, today was different. Imogen was finally going out.
Hearing that Imogen was going on a date with Ben, Cordelia wasn't worried anymore.
According to what Elijah had said, Ben was quite nervous about Imogen. During this period, he would seek her approval for everything. He would also take the initiative to share his life with her and talk about the gossip around him.
Although the two hadn't met in person, they were spiritually connected, like they had become spiritual companions.
Because of this, when Ben returned to Grant City and invited Imogen out for dinner, she readily agreed.
[I hope you have a fantastic night.] Cordelia smiled and typed this message, then sent it to Imogen.
Afterward, she also started thinking about the matter between herself and Elijah.
During this time, Elijah didn't bother her, but their contact seemed never to have been severed.
Elijah didn't initiate any flirtatious talk or make any suggestive jokes
But sometimes, he would suddenly chat with her for a long time using discussing work-related matters as an excuse, and at the end, he would sincerely apologize to Cordelia.
"I'm missing you. That is why I deliberately delayed you for so long. I'm sorry."
With him acting like this, what else could Cordelia say?
Perhaps it was time for Cordelia to farewell Elijah formally.
She hoped Elijah could cherish and take care of himself more in the days without news from her.
So, Cordelia came to Elijah's current residence after dinner that night.
Elijah was pleasantly surprised by Cordelia's sudden visit, and his eyes sparkled.
"Have you been sleeping well recently?" asked Cordelia while sitting on the sofa.
"Very well. However, I've become dependent on your sachet. Without it, it'll be difficult for me to sleep," said Elijah truthfully.
