Chapter 212 Yours Now
As soon as the video call was connected, Cordelia saw a man with a muscular upper b*dy on the screen.
From this angle, Elijah looked as perfect as a Greek god. It was rare for humans to be so flawless..
“Is there something wrong?” Cordelia asked as she lay down and put her phone beside her pillow.
“No, I just wanted to see you,” Elijah said as he leaned against the head of the bed, staring at the screen intently.
Cordelia was deliberately wearing a rather conservative set of pajamas tonight because of the video call with Elijah tonight.
However, Elijah, on the contrary, was topless.
He stretched out his hand and gently stroked the position of Cordelia’s hair on the screen while saying softly, “Cordelia, let me show you something.”
“What?” Cordelia asked curiously.
The man on the screen disappeared for a while before reappearing again.
However, at this moment, he was holding a cat.
Her initial sleepiness had vanished completely.
“Is that a ragdoll kitten?”
“Do you like it?” Elijah asked.
“Yeah,” Cordelia said as she immediately sat up again with her phone in hand.
“If you like it, come over and take a look at it when you have time. You can drop by anytime. Your fingerprint still works with the door locks.”
Cordelia was taken aback for a moment. Then, she said helplessly, “Elijah, you should delete it.”
“Deleting my girlfriend’s fingerprints is a very problematic thing to do,” Elijah said as he rubbed his chin.
Cordelia raised her eyebrows and said, “Who agreed to be your girlfriend?”
“Future girlfriend, I mean,” Elijah corrected.
Cordelia rolled her eyes at him and said, “Let me see your ragdoll again.”
“It’s your little ragdoll. It’s yours now,” Elijah said with a smile.
Cordelia covered her mouth. She obviously adored it.
If Elijah gave her anything else, she really wouldn’t necessarily accept it.
However, she couldn’t turn down the kitten.
After showing Cordelia the kitten, Elijah seldom let it appear on the scene.
After all, as long as he was in the same frame as the kitten, Cordelia’s gaze would be fixed on it, and she would barely pay any attention to Elijah.
“Cordelia, let’s sleep like this,” Elijah said as he lay down, stroking the cat while looking at Cordelia on the phone screen.
“Okay!”
Cordelia looked at the man and the cat on the screen with a smile, not wanting to turn down his request at all.
Later, Elijah watched Cordelia’s beautiful eyes blinking repeatedly. She began to get increasingly sleepy and eventually dozed off.
He lowered his head and glanced at the ragdoll sleeping next to him, almost in syne with Cordelia.
Elijah smirked and slowly closed his eyes when he saw Cordelia’s sleeping face.
The next day, Cordelia arrived at Milo’s house.
She spent an entire day with him and listened to his stories about his past with Liam Watts.
It sounded like they used to be good friends, but after Liam married and the two became busier with their work and life, they gradually lost contact.
“Milo, why don’t you help him with treatment personally?” Cordelia asked in puzzlement.
Milo shook his head and said, “I don’t want to know how long this old fellow of mine can live, so it’s better not to see him.”
Cordelia understood.
They could easily find out the remaining lifespan of patients.
At Milo’s age, he had experienced too many life-and-death situations. Thus, it would be even more difficult for him to have to watch his old friend pa*s away.
Cordelia had dropped by this time under the pretext of helping the old man nurse his health, but in fact, she was just helping extend his life. Hence, she had a huge responsibility.
“Cordelia, I heard that the Hansen family is going to become in-laws with the Kingsley family. Is that true?” Milo asked all of a sudden.
