Chapter 402 Sleeping Pills Overdose
In a trance, Cordelia remembered that when they had just divorced, Elijah acted like a child and
refused to take medicine, even though he was dizzy from the fever.
Cordelia sighed, "I should go and see him. Besides, I shouldn't turn a blind eye as a doctor."
That was how she comforted herself, but in fact, she was quite worried about Elijah.
After all, gastric lavage was not a small matter.
So Cordelia came to Elijah's place. He now lived in a villa not far from his mother's apartment.
As soon as she entered the house, the place gave her an eerie and cold feeling. In addition, the colors
in the house were only black, white, and gray, which made Cordelia feel uncomfortable.
"Elijah is in the bedroom." Ben led her upstairs.
"What's wrong with him? Tell me about his situation. I don't think he will tell me the truth," Cordelia said
lightly.
"He had taken too much sleeping pills. If I hadn't come to his place to drink, found out that something
was wrong, and sent him to the hospital in time, you would never have seen him again," Ben said
angrily.
Cordelia pursed her lips and said nothing.
"How old is he? Does he not know that sleeping pills can't be taken in excess?" Cordelia thought and
still didn't quite believe Ben.
However, she was emotionally intelligent and said nothing. She just complained in her heart to relieve
her anxiety.
"Also, Cordelia..." Ben suddenly stopped, turned, and looked at her. "Elijah can't stand any provocation.
You'd better not mention anything about the Hansen family, especially Eason."
Cordelia nodded seriously.
She could feel that Eason had become Elijah's fear and nightmare.
He regarded Eason as a rival in love, but now he had become his half-brother and Cordelia's savior.
Under all kinds of blows, even if Elijah's heart was made of steel, it would probably have been
shattered to pieces by now.
Cordelia frowned and couldn't think of any better way to make Elijah feel at ease.
So, with a heavy heart, she followed Ben into Elijah's bedroom.
At this time, he was receiving an intravenous drip. His face was pale, and he was sleeping.
Cordelia stepped forward, felt his pulse, and her brows furrowed.
His body was weak, which seemed to be caused by an irregular diet and resting time for a period of
time. He also had a serious inflammation and smoked and drank too much.
In short, he made his body what it was now.
Cordelia put down his wrist, stood up, and wanted to leave.
Ben immediately caught up her paces.
He said in shock, "Why is that? Are you leaving now after having a look at him?"
Cordelia shook his head helplessly. "He is asleep now. Let him sleep. I will get him medicine and bring
it over after that."
Ben felt relieved, waved his hand, and said, "Then I will take care of him before you come. When you
come, I will leave him to you. I am a grown man but can't care for him."
Although he looked impatient, Cordelia still felt Ben's concern for Elijah.
"He just doesn't know how to speak good words. It's a shame he has such a good-looking mouth," she
mocked inwardly. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
Soon, Cordelia left.
That place was relatively close to Undernet. Cordelia went directly to the drug store to grab some
medicine, decoct the herbs, and put them in bags to take away.
She also asked the helper in the store to help make some pills for Elijah to intake for recovery after he
finished the decocted medicine.
After all those preparations, it was already late at night.
As soon as Cordelia got into the taxi, she received a call from Ben.
"Cordelia, why aren't you here yet? I have a flight to catch in the early morning hours, so hurry up and
come to replace me."
Cordelia said deliberately, "I'll be there in a while. Why don't you call a caretaker first?"
"Okay, I'll find a young, beautiful female caretaker," Ben said sullenly.
"Up to you."
After saying that, Cordelia hung up the phone directly.
Ben clutched the phone tightly, and his face darkened like a moonless night.
