"I don't know her," Makayla said with a hint of resistance. "I've never seen her... I don't know her..."
"Yeah, you passed out at the time, so you didn't see her," Elijah explained.
Passed out?
Makayla: "No, that's not right!"
The last thing she remembered was Violette's face.
She was lying in bed with a fever, and Violette was by her side, talking to her. She couldn't remember exactly what was said, b
ut she vaguely remembered Violette's warm gaze and gentle voice, which brought her great comfort.
She started to get emotional, and the pain in her head was like a knife cutting through her, causing her to cry.
"Makayla, does it hurt a lot? Close your eyes now, don't think about anything, and when you wake up, it won't hurt as much," Elijah wiped the tears off her face with a tissue, gently patting her arm, coaxing her to sleep.
She had just had brain surgery and needed more rest.
After putting her to sleep, Elijah left the room.
Sarah immediately came forward and asked, "How is she?"
Elijah grinned, his voice full of excitement, "She talks more than before, and her eyes are clearer now... Dr. Sarah, the surgery was a success!"
Sarah breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great! I was worried the surgery wouldn't be effective!"
Elijah, overwhelmed with gratitude, couldn't help but hug Sarah, "Dr. Sarah, thank you!"
Sarah's heart raced, feeling a bit awkward but enjoying Elijah's embrace.
She tried to hug him back, "Mr. Bourne, it's what I should do."
Her voice made Elijah snap to his senses.
He let go of her, but his smile remained, "Dr. Sarah, thank you for your hard work. It's late now, go home and rest. See you tomorrow."
Sarah nodded, "If anything happens to Makayla, call me anytime."
Elijah nodded and saw her off.
