"You better not go, Makayla's there too. There are two women in the ward with him, and you'll definitely
feel upset if you see that," Odette said. "His mental state isn't great. I thought his company was in big
trouble, but Ramsey said no. I'm wondering, does it have anything to do with you?"
Violette sat back in her office chair, "Odette, you're giving me too much credit. I couldn't even bring him
down when we divorced. I'm not that capable."
"Then why is he acting so strange? Is it because of Sarah Warren?" Odette asked. "I heard Sarah
Warren has been going to Bourne Estate a lot lately. That woman is so cunning!"
Now, hearing about Elijah and Sarah Warren, Violette's mood became more and more calm.
Maybe one day when she hears about their marriage, she could still keep her composure.
She and Elijah had become two lines without an intersection, and they would only grow further apart in
the future.
"Odette, how are you and Ramsey doing now?" Violette changed the subject.
"Same as always! He decided to persevere until the end of the year. If he still can't satisfy my parents
by then, he'll go back home and inherit the family business next year," Odette sighed. "Not everyone
has Elijah's business acumen. Maybe Ramsey and I can only inherit the family business."
Violette clicked her tongue in sympathy, "At least you guys have a family business. I can only rely on
my own efforts."
"You're much better than me," Odette laughed. "Violette, I'm actually happy to see that you didn't go to
the hospital to see Elijah."
"He didn't get some terminal disease or anything," Violette said, trying to sound casual.
"If he did, would you go see him?"
"If he really had a terminal disease, out of sympathy, I would definitely have to visit him before he dies."
Odette heartily laughed, "In a while, it will be Elijah's birthday. If he invites you, will you go?"
Violette, "No."
"He doesn't plan to celebrate his birthday anyway. He didn't before either."
"Then why did you ask me?"
"I just wanted to see if you were determined enough!" Odette approved of her response. "I'm not
worried about you now."
After hanging up the phone, Violette hesitated for a while before calling Lacey.
Lacey quickly answered, "Violette?"
"Lacey, it's me." Violette hesitated for a few seconds before asking, "I heard Elijah was hospitalized.
What happened?"
Lacey sighed, "He was hospitalized for stomach issues. Something happened at home, and he didn't
sleep for two days and nights. Then he was too tired and slept for two days straight. As a result, he
didn't eat for three days, and his stomach issues flared up."
"Oh, he didn't deliberately fast, did he?"
"No. He wanted to eat after waking up, but then he vomited blood." Lacey still found the situation
terrifying when she thought about it.
Violette breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as he didn't deliberately fast, there shouldn't be any major problems.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine after a few days of treatment," Violette reassured her.
"Okay, did you go to the hospital to see him?" Lacey asked.
"No. I've been pretty busy," Violette made up an excuse.
Of course, Lacey could tell it was just an excuse.
"Lacey, please don't tell him about this call," Violette said awkwardly. "After all, we've already broken
up, and we both have new lives."
"Alright, I won't say anything," Lacey answered understandingly. Then she suddenly changed the
subject. "Violette, your son Ian, he's Elijah's child, right?" NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
This question made Violette's heart tense up immediately.
"Did I ask something too personal?" Lacey apologized. "I've seen Ian twice, and every time I see him, I
feel like I'm looking at Elijah. They look very much alike, and their personalities are similar too. Don't
worry, I'll only tell you this, I won't say anything to Elijah."
Violette didn't know how she ended the call.
Should she be relieved that Elijah didn't suspect the child was his?
Before, she didn't want him to know about the two kids because he didn't like children, wouldn't accept
them, and might even hurt them.
Now she didn't want him to know about the kids for even more reasons.
There were two more women around him, and no matter what kind of women they were, the kids didn't
belong with him.
Since the children were better off not acknowledging him as a father, it was better to keep them in the
dark forever.
The five thousand drones ordered by the Bourne Group from the Dennis Group hovered above the
Bourne Group building.
Under Mike's command, the five thousand drones in the night sky constantly changed into various
shapes and colors.
