Chapter 18 Cordelia Missed the

Chance

In the end, Cordelia and Elijah parted unhappily.

When Cordelia sat in the car, her hands were still shaking.

She touched her lips unconsciously as if Elijah’s smell remained.

So, she wiped it vigorously in anger and then let out a long sigh ofrelief.

Everything would be over!

It was great!

When Cordelia returned to her apartment, she recovered.

After running the bath, she took a comfortable hot bath.

Then, she prepared the documents that she would use tomorrow. Afterchecking them carefully several times, she put them in her bag, feelingrelieved.

Everything was ready.

At five o'clock in the morning, the phone rang suddenly.

Cordelia opened her sleepy eyes. She picked up the phone and lookedat it. Then she was stunned for a moment.

the family had given up on her long ago. No one mentioned heranymore.

Cordelia didn't expect that Ottilie would contact her suddenly.“Cordelia, I'm really sorry for bothering you at this late night.

hi?

Before she finished speaking, Ottilie choked up.

“Ottilie, where are you now? What happened?”

“I'm in Beilve City. Cordelia, I remember you know some familymedicine, right? Can you come... to save my baby? I can’t take my babyto the hospital.” Ottilie cried even harder as she said. these words.

For a moment, Cordelia’s head was buzzing. She got up quickly andasked about Ottilie’s address with the speakerphone on while changingclothes.

Ten minutes later, Cordelia left home.

She drove straight to the old and small residential area provided byOttilie.

Because the alley was too narrow, Cordelia had to park the car at theentrance of the alley. Carrying the medicine box on her back, she foundthe small house where Ottilie lived.

“Cordelia, please save my child...”

Cordelia quickly held Ottilie’s hand and comforted her. “Don’t

After Cordelia finished examining the child, she said, “It is the upperrespiratory tract infection combined with facial neuritis. Ill bring downthe fever first.”

While speaking, Cordelia took out two small bottles of medicine fromthe medicine box and handed them to Ottilie. Then she

told Ottilie how to use them and feed them to the child.

After the child's fever subsided, Cordelia gave the child

acupuncture.

The child was too young to cooperate, which made Cordelia

sweat a lot.

It took a lot of time. Time passed quickly, and it was five past nine inthe morning in the blink of an eye.

Her phone on the table beside her rang suddenly.

Seeing Elijah’s name, Ottilie hurriedly said, “Cordelia, please, don't tellElijah that I'm back.”

Cordelia paused and then nodded.

“Cordelia, where are you?”

As soon as she picked up the phone, Elijah’s impatient voice came fromthe other end of the phone.

Cordelia covered her mouth and glanced at the clock on the wall. It wasalready nine twenty!

“I... am busy with something...” Cordelia faltered and didn't know whatto say for a while.

Elijah suddenly latighed. He was

“Cordelia, are you fooling me? Is it enough? My time is precious, and Idon't have time to play this game with you!” Elijah said in a cold tone.Cordelia took a deep breath and said without confidence, “Wait asecond. I'll be right there.”

“No way!"

After finishing speaking, Elijah hung up the phone directly!

Cordelia was clutching the phone, feeling annoyed.

Seeing that Cordelia had finished the call, Ottilie thanked hergratefully.

Although she was thanked by Ottilie, she felt that she had lost ahundred million dollars.

Later, Cordelia left the small house where Ottilie lived, and beforeleaving, she discussed with Ottilie the time of the next acupuncturevisit.

She still went to the Courthouse, but sure enough, Elijah was no longerthere.

So, she drove directly to Elijah’s company.

She contacted Elijah’s assistant and asked him to take her to Elijah’soffice.

Standing outside the door, Cordelia look a deep knocked on the door.“Come in."
