Chapter 188 Am I Beyond Redemption?
That night, Eason and Cordelia had a long conversation in a small restaurant.
By the time Eason bid farewell, it was already midnight.
Cordelia stood at the entrance of the restaurant, seeing him off.
Eason looked at the fragile figure of the woman before him and felt a surge of heartache.
"Cordelia..."
Cordelia waved her hand with a carefree smile. "Eason, goodbye. Drive slowly."
And so, Eason stared at her intently for a while, but in the end, he didn't say anything and left.
Sometimes, Eason despised himself for being unwilling to express anything.
Sometimes, he also thought about being a cunning opportunist, taking advantage of Cordelia's single
status and boldly expressing his affection, hoping that Cordelia would choose to be with him.
However, whenever he faced Cordelia, even if he saw the slightest frown on her forehead, he dared not
go any further.
Cordelia was a treasure buried deep within his heart, and he didn't want to bring her any distress.
After seeing off Eason, Cordelia's eyes gradually dimmed.
Everything she displayed in front of Eason just now, her cheerfulness and generosity, were all an act. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Cordelia hated Hazel and Eva for causing her to lose her child.
As Cordelia showered, she let the water from the showerhead wash over her face, not wanting anyone,
not even herself, to see her tears.
During the time when she found out about losing her child, she cried all her tears, and she never
wanted to cry again in her life.
After finishing her shower, Cordelia lay down on the bed and saw the gossip photos sent by Imogen.
In the photo, Elijah sat sternly, his brows furrowed, with the untouched meal in front of him, engaged in
conversation with Daisy seated across from him.
And Daisy had a self-satisfied look, with a confident gleam in her eyes, as if she was certain of her
success.
Cordelia replied with feigned indifference: [They are well-matched.]
Quickly, Imogen responded to the message.
[Ben said Elijah doesn't like Daisy, and it's only out of his family obligation, a reluctant act. Cordelia,
don't take it too personally.] Imogen cautiously tried to console her.
Cordelia smiled and sent a voice message back, saying, "He married me was also a reluctant act. On
the night we got married, he didn't come back until late at night and only reluctantly consummated the
marriage under the influence of alcohol.
"Even if we haven't met and don't like each other, we still consummated our marriage. Imogen. In this
world, there's no one that can't be replaced. To men, once the lights are off, all women are the same."
Moreover, Cordelia hadn't noticed any signs of Elijah's reluctance from the photos. With his personality,
he wouldn't go along with all these schemes unless he wanted to.
Afterward, Imogen didn't reply for a while, perhaps not knowing what else to say.
In truth, Cordelia didn't need anyone to comfort her.
Cordelia knew that she had to find a way to relieve her own pain. No one else could help her.
In the following days, Cordelia started running around and immersed herself in her work.
Seeing those who had long been plagued by illness visibly improve under her treatment and express
their gratitude toward her, Cordelia felt a great sense of achievement.
At the same time, Evie's reputation gradually spread.
Word of mouth circulated that Milo, the miraculous doctor, had an apprentice who was the nemesis of
difficult and complicated diseases.
Ever since Cordelia began her travels, the Undernet chat group has been lively and bustling every day.
Those who had seen Cordelia would secretly take photos of her.
However, most of the time, Cordelia wore a white coat and a mask in the photos.
In some photos, her gaze was sharp as she explained the risks and benefits to the patients.
Other times, she would gently look at a young patient before her, even patting their heads tenderly.
These photos, apart from being visible to members within the Undernet, would also find their way into
Elijah's email inbox.
