Chapter 615
"But I can't wait to see what's inside!" Nora pleaded. "Elijah, will you take me in? I promise I won't cause any trouble. Plus, as a die-hard fan of Dream City, I could offer some feedback once I have a look around!"
After a few moments of contemplation, Elijah agreed. They all donned helmets and followed the project manager onto the construction site.
The project manager explained the progress of each area and the remaining workload and schedule. Nora listened attentively, interjecting occasionally. It was obvious she was a real fan of Dream City.
"Nora, once Dream City is built, I can transfer you to work here." Elijah thought this would cheer her up.
But her face didn't light up with a smile. "Wouldn't that take me far away from my cousin?" She muttered. "Elijah, can I just come here to hang out every week? Please don't transfer me here, okay?"
Seeing the way she pouted and whispered, Elijah couldn't help but think of Violette.
Violette rarely acted so cute with him. Even when they were madly in love, she never behaved like this.
He was well aware that Nora wasn't Violette, but every time he saw Nora's face, he couldn't help but think of Violette. He quickly averted his eyes from Nora's face.
"Elijah, there's something I need to explain to you.” Nora noticed Elijah’s discomfort and guessed what he might’ve been thinking. "I didn't have plastic surgery to look like Violette. I only had a nose
job because I had an accident, and the doctors recommended it. I can show you pictures of how I used to look."
Hearing her explanation, Elijah felt more settled. "No need. You are you, and Violette is Violette. Even if you looked exactly like Violette, in my eyes, you two could never be the same person."
Nora obediently nodded.
The next second, her expression changed drastically as she looked behind Elijah. "Watch out, Elijah!"
Before Elijah could react, Nora had already wrapped herself around his back. He turned around just in time to see a steel rod piercing through Nora's body.
If not for Nora's quick action, the steel rod would have hit him instead.
Nora was wearing a floral dress, which was now torn and stained with blood. Elijah's body tensed as he shouted, "Call an ambulance!"
......
When Violette returned from B Country, the first piece of gossip she heard was about Nora getting injured while saving Elijah.
"Joey wasn't with Elijah at the time, so I have no idea what actually happened on the site," Mike joked. "I just don't get it, how could a steel rod just fly out of nowhere and aim straight for Elijah? Was it a divine punishment, or did the workers try to kill him because he owed them wages?"
Violette ignored his sarcasm and asked, "Is Nora badly hurt?"
"Just a flesh wound. Elijah personally took her to the hospital and arranged a private ward for her," Mike said with a hint of bitterness. "Elijah used to despise her, but now he owes her big time."
Violette replied, "Since she's injured, let's not talk behind her back."
"Who knows if she got injured on purpose? If she can have plastic surgery to look like you, don't expect her to have any scruples," Mike warned. "Elijah will be coming to see you soon. Probably to settle scores!"
Violette yawned. "I'll go rest in my room. Wake me up when he arrives." All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
She went back to her room and slept until evening because Elijah didn't come to see her.
