Chapter 401 Murder Your Ex-husband?
His sudden voice attracted everyone's attention to him, and then they looked at Cordelia again. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Cordelia was expressionless and cursed inwardly, "This jerk! He really knows how to attract attention."
Then, Eason said, "Didn't Ms. Carter ask someone to help you deal with it just now?"
Elijah didn't even look at Eason and fixed his eyes on Cordelia's beautiful face from the beginning to
the end.
He said faintly, "Do you want other women to touch me?" His voice was not loud, but it was enough to
shock everyone in the conference room.
Cordelia gritted her teeth, stood up abruptly, and said sullenly, "Come with me."
Elijah curled his lips into a faint smile, glanced at Eason, stood up lazily, and followed Cordelia out of
the conference room.
Eason looked at his back coldly. Even though he always stayed composed regardless of what
happened, there was still a hint of viciousness in his eyes at this time.
Back to her office, Cordelia found the first-aid kit and applied the antiseptic directly to the wound on
Elijah's hand.
The heart-piercing burning sensation made Elijah's lazy expression change. Letting out a groan, he
looked at Cordelia and asked suspiciously, "Are you trying to murder your husband?"
"I am single and have no husband," Cordelia said calmly, disinfecting and bandaging his wound neatly.
Elijah smiled, "Are you trying to murder your ex-husband?"
"Don't be flirtatious. The meeting has been postponed for ten minutes because of you. You have to
take full responsibility." Cordelia said in a business-like manner.
However, Elijah directly changed the topic. "I will send you back after the meeting later."
"I came here in Eason's car. His driver will naturally take me back, and you don't have to worry about
that," Cordelia said coldly.
"Cordelia..." Elijah grabbed Cordelia's arm with his gauze-wrapped hand.
"Elijah, you are annoying!" Cordelia couldn't bear it and turned to stare at him.
Elijah slowly withdrew his hand and said, "Cordelia, do you really not want me anymore?"
Cordelia bit her lip, tried to calm down, and said, "We have broken up, Elijah."
Elijah murmured, "That's right. But Cordelia, I'm sick. I don't know the point of living."
"Stop talking nonsense!" With that, Cordelia fled and ran out of the office.
She couldn't stand Elijah's slumped look, especially his dull eyes, which were filled with dead silence as
if he had lost all hope to live.
Life would eventually go on with or without her.
She didn't believe that he would really be overwhelmed.
But she was worried at the same time. After all, Elijah had been stimulated before. And now, he had
become a loner.
Annoyed, Cordelia returned to the meeting room, but Elijah did not come back.
He left, and she was temporarily relieved.
She had been busy all day at Elia Research Institute. At nine o'clock in the evening, she received a call
from Ben.
He rarely called her. She thought he called because of Imogen's affairs, but Cordelia was scolded as
soon as the call was connected.
"Cordelia, where are you now? Do you know your man is dying?!"
Cordelia was confused and asked, "Ben, what are you talking about? Please speak clearly."
"Come to Elijah's house. He just had gastric lavage." After saying that, Ben hung up the phone angrily.
Cordelia was speechless and thought, "What does it have to do with me? Is it a ruse of self-injury?"
