Chapter 63 Her Confidence
Cordelia glared at him, and her phone continued to receive notifications where people were mentioning
her. Elijah glanced at her, suggesting, “Aren’t you going to respond? Tell them that I am your dear
husband.”
Cordelia blinked, looking slightly bewildered at Elijah. She wondered when this man had started being
willing to admit their relationship.
Back then, they hadn’t even had a wedding or any ceremony.
On the night they got their marriage certificate, he returned home, reeking of alcohol, and slept with her
rudely.
Since then, she had become nothing more like a mascot. She was just a nobody in this family.
It was only much later that information began to trickle out through the public channels that Elijah was
already married.
Considering his attitude back then, what gave him the right to ask her to acknowledge their relationship
in her circles?
So, Cordelia simply lowered her gaze and chose not to respond.
Elijah glanced at her several times and noticed that she remained unresponsive to everything that was
happening. He frowned and didn’t say anything else.
When they arrived at Eva’s small apartment, there was a commotion inside.
Elijah opened the door and walked in to find Eva berating two new caregivers who had just arrived.
Upon seeing Elijah, Eva immediately put away her angry look and smiled at him. “Elijah, you finally
came. I’ve been waiting for you.”
“Good girl.”
Elijah looked at her, reminding her to cooperate with the treatment.
Cordelia looked at them coldly and acted oblivious to everything that was happening between them.
“Elijah, why did you send these two strangers to take care of me? I only need you. I don’t need the
outsiders,” Eva said in a spoiled tone.
Elijah wasn’t sure why Cordelia wanted two caregivers, so he looked to her for an explanation. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
Cordelia spoke calmly, “Miss Lewis, your treatment requires a daily herbal bath. Do you think Elijah can
take off your clothes and bathe you every day?”
Eva widened her eyes and then blushed, lowering her head shyly.
Cordelia didn’t bother to watch her feigning in front of Elijah and turned around to get prepared. She
also instructed the two caregivers standing by, “Lift Miss Lewis onto the couch.”
“Okay.”
The two caregivers were particularly efficient. Before Eva could react, she was already lying on the
couch.
Seeing Cordelia approaching with needles, Eva immediately started screaming, “Elijah, come here!
Quick! Come to my side!”
“Miss Lewis, you can’t feel your legs. It won’t hurt,” Cordelia said emotionlessly as she swiftly and
accurately inserted the needles into Eva’s legs.
Eva struggled to raise her head to see what Cordelia was doing to her legs but couldn’t get a clear
view.
Elijah remained standing at a distance, watching everything with a detached gaze.
It was the first time he had seen Cordelia using acupuncture on a patient. She did it with such case, as
if it were second nature to her, confidently asserting her dominance in this field.
With an icy expression on her petite face, she seemed to be telling the world that she was the queen in
this domain.
Eva noticed Elijah’s gaze had been fixed on Cordelia all this time. She bit her lip and suddenly burst
into tears.
“Elijah, why are you ignoring me? I called you so many times, and you never answered me…”
Only then did Elijah step forward and walk towards Eva.
