Chapter 185 She Wants to Forget Him
With that, Cordelia impatiently took out her phone, asking Elijah to transfer money immediately.
Without a word, Elijah gladly made the payment, and then he attempted to put his arm around Cordelia’s waist.
However, Cordelia sl*pped away from his fingertips effortlessly, like a sl*ppery fish.
“This patient, please refrain from touching me. I am a professional doctor,” Cordelia’s cool face showed no trace of a smile or emotion, resembling an emotionless AI.
Elijah calmly withdrew his hand, not getting angry at her refusal in the slightest.
“What position do you prefer?” Elijah asked in a low voice.
Cordelia’s mouth twitched, unaffected by his intentions. She pointed to a chair with a serious expression, saying, “Just sit there.”
So, Elijah obediently sat down, maintaining an upright posture.
Using the soft pads of her fingers, Cordelia gently pressed on his head, gradually exerting more force.
Elijah felt his heavy mind becoming clearer, and his senses became sharper.
“Your technique keeps getting better,” Elijah sighed in
contentment.
Cordelia rolled her eyes.
Unfortunately, Elijah didn’t know how to cherish her.
It was only after losing her that he realized he had once possessed her.
“All right.”
When Cordelia finished her work, she intended to leave.
Elijah quickly said, “Let me walk you out.”
“No need. My driver is already waiting outside.”
As Cordelia glanced at Elijah, she wanted to say something, but in the end, she chose to remain silent and said, “Goodbye.”
“Goodbye.”
Elijah didn’t want to say goodbye to Cordelia, but he had no reason to keep her now.
And Elijah had already made up his mind to pursue Cordelia again. This was just the beginning, and he was determined to
take it seriously.
Before the weekend arrived, Cordelia packed her belongings and boarded a train, leaving Beilve City.
After consulting Milo’s advice, Cordelia chose a few small places as her destinations.
At the same time, news of Milo’s beloved disciple coming out and wandering around spread like wildfire in the Undernet chat group. The group was in an uproar, with someone asking Cordelia to have a drink.
Cordelia’s first stop was a small town.
Upon arriving, the sun had already set, and Cordelia found accommodation in a farmhouse-styled inn.
While enjoying a hearty pot of stew prepared by the innkeeper, Cordelia received a call from Elijah.
“I’m sorry, but I have already left Beilve City. Elijah, you should start a new life and stop wasting your thoughts on me. There will be no chance between us anymore.”
Cordelia had prepared this response in advance. Whenever Elijah messaged or called her, she would calmly deliver her rehearsed lines and reject him.
She didn’t want Elijah to disturb her tranquil heart.
As long as she didn’t see him again, Cordelia believed that she
would be able to let go of him and forget about him!
“Where did you go?” Elijah asked anxiously.
“I’m wandering, going wherever the wind takes me,” Cordelia answered truthfully.
But Elijah thought she deliberately kept her whereabouts secret.
“Cordelia, I was wrong. Please don’t treat me like this.”
Suddenly, the phone conveyed Elijah’s words filled with grievances.
Cordelia’s heart felt as if it had been clenched tightly by an invisible hand, causing a dull ache.
Cordelia forced a casual smile and said, “Don’t joke around, Elijah. I have something to attend to, so I’ll hang up now.”
With that, Cordelia quickly hung up the phone, tears uncontrollably streaming down her face.
Suddenly, someone tapped her shoulder, and Cordelia was startled as she turned around.
When she saw the person clearly, all tension instantly melted away, and her tears flowed even more forcefully.
