The Billionaire's Reborn Bride. CHAPTER 0192
Elena returned to the office with a heavy heart.For years, her father had failed to notice her pain. He had stood by while Patricia treated her like an inconvenience, and he had allowed Victoria to grow up believing she was entitled to everything Elena possessed.Now, he wanted to act like a father.Elena pressed her lips together as she stepped out of the elevator.It's too late, Dad.She had spent too many years waiting for him to choose her. She wasn't going to forgive him simply because he had finally shown a little concern.Maya was sitting behind her desk, staring at her laptop. The moment she noticed Elena approaching, she quickly sat upright."You are back."Elena nodded and walked into her office. Maya followed her inside, closing the door behind them."How did it go?" she asked.Elena dropped her handbag onto the desk and sank into her chair."What happened?""He knows I'm ill. He has always known.”"Patricia asked whether I might have inherited my mother's brain tumor."Ma

"How are you?"Jules paused. "Me?""Yes, you. You are the one who called me, but you have only asked about me."A small smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. "I'm fine.""Good."Maya stared at the ceiling.This was terrible. She had never struggled so much to speak to a man. Even when she met new people, she could usually find something to say.But she didn’t know why Jules made her unusually conscious of every word that came out of her mouth. It was nerve-wracking."So," she began, desperate to move the conversation along, "how's your day going?""Busy.""Of course. You are always busy.""Aren't you?"Maya laughed. "Unfortunately, I am. I have been staring at this laptop for so long that I think my eyes are about to pop out."Jules chuckled softly.The unexpected sound made Maya stop laughing. She had heard him speak in his usual serious tone so often that hearing him laugh caught her off guard.He actually had a nice laugh. She quickly shook her head.No. We are not doing this ag

While Elena was away meeting her father, Maya remained in the office, staring at her laptop. She had been searching for any clues to finding Daniel, but so far, she had found nothing useful.Maya let out a long, tired sigh."Where on earth did this man disappear to?" she muttered, scrolling through another page. "Does he even exist anymore?"Her eyes were beginning to hurt, and her back ached from sitting in the same position for too long. She yawned, stretched both arms above her head, and twisted her body from side to side."Maybe I should take a five-minute break," she mumbled.She glanced at the clock. Elena had been gone for a while now, and Maya was beginning to feel lonely in the office. Usually, she could distract herself by discussing work with Elena. However, she had nothing but her laptop, a growing headache, and a search that led nowhere.She dropped her arms onto the desk, and unexpectedly, someone came to mind.Jules.Maya blinked rapidly; she sat upright."Oh, my God."

Elena arrived at the location where her father had asked to meet. She parked her car and remained inside for a few seconds, looking at the building through the windshield.She stepped out of the car and walked toward the entrance. Inside, she spotted Donald sitting at a table near the window.He was already waiting; his hands were clasped together on the table, and a cup of coffee sat in front of him. He looked up the moment she approached.For a brief moment, their eyes met.Elena noticed the concern on his face, but she refused to let it affect her. She pulled out the chair opposite him and sat down.Donald looked at her carefully. "How are you?"Elena placed her handbag beside her chair. "You said you wanted to see me."Donald nodded."Then let's talk."He hesitated.Elena's expression remained cold."You said you knew about my illness. What exactly do you know?"Donald looked down at his hands. "I know you are sick, Elena.""That's not an answer."He looked up. "How did you expect

Elena sat behind her desk, scrolling through the documents on her laptop while Maya occupied the chair opposite her.They had spent the last thirty minutes discussing how to continue the investigation without attracting Patricia's attention. So far, they had agreed to search for Daniel Brooks through professional networks and former colleagues.Maya was still making notes when Elena's phone began to ring. Elena glanced at the screen. Her mood changed immediately.She stared at the name for a moment before turning the phone face down on her desk; she had no intention of answering.The ringing stopped, but it started again. Elena closed her eyes briefly, irritation spreading across her face.Why couldn't he leave her alone? The phone continued ringing.Maya lifted her head from her notebook."Boss, aren't you going to answer that?""No."Maya glanced at the phone."It’s ringing again.""I can see that.""Why don't you answer?"Elena shot her a look. "Because I don't want to."Maya raise

Over at Elena's childhood home, Donald sat at the head of the table, eating his breakfast while occasionally glancing at the newspaper beside his plate. Patricia sat opposite him, barely touching her food.Her mind was somewhere else entirely; she had been thinking about what Collins had told her.At first, she had dismissed it as exhaustion, but something about the incident continued to bother her.Patricia slowly lowered her fork. She remembered Elena's mother and how she had suffered from a brain tumor.She had never given much thought to the possibility of Elena inheriting the same condition; she couldn't stop thinking about it.Could it be possible? Patricia's eyes narrowed as she stared at her untouched breakfast; she needed to know.Donald turned a page of his newspaper, unaware of the thoughts running through his wife's mind.Patricia glanced at him; she cleared her throat lightly. "Donald."He looked up. "What is it?"Patricia picked up her glass of water, took a small sip, a

Elena made it to her car before the shaking started. She climbed into the driver’s seat and gripped the steering wheel so tightly her knuckles turned white, taking deep, shuddering breaths that did nothing to steady her racing heart.Victoria’s pregnancy announcement had struck her like a knife to

Back at the mansion, Elena finally stirred around noon. She blinked against the dim light filtering through her curtains, disoriented for a moment. Her body felt heavy.She reached for her phone immediately, and as the screen lit up, a calendar reminder flashed: Dr. Turner - 12:00 PM - Brain Tumor
