They came over, but they didn't give him a heads-up.
He wasn't exactly thrilled about their arrival.
To Makayla, they were all strangers.
Their presence would freak Makayla out.
Grace was leading the pack.
When she saw Makayla, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but walk towards her.
Elijah shielded Makayla behind him, "Mom, what are you doing here today?"
"Today is your... I brought a cake over." Grace stuttered, looking down. "I know it's sudden, but I
couldn't help myself."
She couldn't help wanting to see Makayla.
Makayla listened to Grace's voice, feeling a bit nervous but also curious.
She peeked out from behind Elijah, staring at Grace.
"Makayla, you're not afraid of me, right?" Grace looked at her with anticipation.
Makayla immediately pulled back, grabbing onto Elijah's clothes with both hands.
Elijah reached back and held her hand. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
"Mom, you guys should go! We already had cake at school." He said coldly, "Take the cake with you."
Grace sighed.
Though a little disappointed, she felt satisfied to see her daughter safe and sound.
Then they left quickly.
Elijah took Makayla inside.
Lacey apologized, "Grace Bourne came not long ago, and she asked me not to notify you."
Elijah looked at Sarah Warren next to him.
Sarah Warren quickly said, "Elijah, I came at six this afternoon. Since you already had cake, I'll take
mine away."
Sarah Warren had also brought a cake.
She made it herself.
Elijah saw her looking like a frightened deer and frowned.
Was he really that scary?
"Dr. Sarah, any progress on Makayla's next treatment plan?" He asked, looking at her face.
Sarah Warren looked up at him, "The earliest would be next spring for her next treatment. She needs a
recovery period after her first surgery. The longer the recovery period, the better, in theory."
Elijah nodded, "I'll wait to hear good news."
"Yeah, I'll try my best." Sarah Warren left the Bourne family with her cake.
Sarah Warren felt heavy-hearted after leaving the Bourne family.
Grace's gaze at Makayla was strange.
Today was Elijah's birthday; he should be the center of attention, but Grace's eyes were always on
Makayla.
Sarah Warren's mind was a mess, so she texted Kaleb Bourne: Did your grandma know Makayla
before? She seemed so excited.
Kaleb replied: Dr. Sarah, I can't tell you anything about that.
Seeing the answer, Sarah Warren became even more curious.
She replied: Even if you don't tell me, I'll find out the answer.
Kaleb didn't reply.
Seeing that he didn't reply immediately, Sarah Warren continued texting: Let me guess. Does Makayla
have something to do with your family? Did your family cause her mental issues? Was she Elijah's
previous wife? You guys covered up all her information because of her mental problems.
Kaleb looked at Sarah Warren's reasoning and replied: Dr. Sarah, I don't know the specifics about
Makayla either. But I don't think it's what you guessed.
Sarah Warren: Then what do you think?
Kaleb: She and my uncle definitely aren't in a romantic relationship. If they were married before, how
could I not know?
Sarah Warren's heart was filled with joy.
She didn't care about who she was as long as Makayla wasn't Elijah's woman.

Violette's phone rang urgently.
She rubbed her eyes and answered the call.
She suddenly jumped in fright after hearing something on the other end, then sat up in bed.
