Chapter 7 Too Late

Author: Trimeow
Elias stopped short. His face went cold, and he promptly exploded.

"What nonsense are you talking about? It was only about 68 ounces of blood. How could anything happen to her? Besides, that blood wasn't even really hers to begin with!"

Rachel was trembling. "But Ms. Starling has been in poor health after back-to-back surgeries. By the time they drew about 27 ounces, her veins had already collapsed, and then they forced it up to nearly 68—"

"Shut up!" Elias cut her off, even angrier now.

    Elias didn't dare blink as he watched the person dressed in a body collector's uniform carry me away.After he reviewed the footage, the doctor let out a sigh. "Mr. Thatcher, I'm sure you can rest easy now. I promise you, the hospital really didn't overcharge you."It seemed that Elias suddenly remembered something as he bolted out like a madman and rushed into the hospital room where I had once stayed.A new patient had already moved in. The man stared at Elias in shock as he frantically tore through the drawers before finally shouting, "Who the hell are you?"Elias' usual calm composure was all gone. His eyes were bloodshot as he roared, "Where's the medicine?!"The patient's family rushed in. When they saw the crazed look on his face, they immediately shielded the patient behind them and cursed at him, "What the hell is wrong with you, you lunatic?""Where's the medicine?" Elias had completely lost his mind, repeating the same words over and over.One family member suddenly

    The nurse pulled open the freezer drawer.It was empty.Her face instantly went pale as she rushed to explain, "There must be a mistake. I'll go ask the doctor for the records right away."However, Elias suddenly let out a breath of relief.Zoey visibly relaxed as well.He crossed his arms as he stared down the doctor and said, "Ms. Starling arranged for someone to collect her body not long ago. If you don't believe me, check the surveillance footage.""Enough. Cut the act." Elias rudely interrupted him. "Tell Celia the wedding will proceed as planned in two days. If she doesn't show up, I'll marry Zoey instead."Zoey's face lit up with delight, barely stopping herself from laughing out loud.…I didn't appear two days later.Elias made good on his words.He really did walk onto the stage holding Zoey's hand and held a wedding ceremony with her instead.Yet, his hands trembled for no reason when it came time to exchange rings. It didn't matter how hard he tried as he couldn

    The staff member could only squeeze out an awkward smile. "Mr. Thatcher, meeting something by fate is rare enough already. Will you be paying by card or—"Elias smirked and casually tossed over a bank card. The next second, the POS machine announced, "Insufficient balance."He spread his hands helplessly. "It looks like I'm broke. There's nothing I can do about it now. Let it fail."Zoey was practically digging her nails into her thigh to stop herself from laughing. Still, she pretended to be considerate as she tugged lightly on Elias' sleeve and said, "Elias, if you do this, Celia's definitely going to get mad."Elias sneered. "Who does she think she is to break up with me? She's nothing without me."I stared blankly at the fury on his face. After a long while, I lowered my head with a bitter smile.So, this was his endgame. He wanted to humiliate me. He wanted me to realize just how pathetic I was.After they saw Elias pull such a stunt, no one else dared continue bidding. T

    I wanted to rush over and snatch it back, but I felt as though invisible ropes were binding me in place.That very day, word spread through the entire social circle that Elias was auctioning off a shattered bracelet. Everyone praised him for being generous, assuming the bracelet had some extraordinary background.People even brought the photos to antique experts, asking if it was some priceless treasure. The experts only stared awkwardly at the images, clearly at a loss for words.That evening, Elias attended the charity gala with Zoey on his arm. His gaze swept across the ballroom again and again, searching for a familiar figure that never appeared. The longer he looked, the darker his expression became.Someone finally asked, "Mr. Thatcher, why did you bring Zoey again today? Where's Celia?""She's sick," Elias answered evenly. "She's recovering in the hospital."The crowd exchanged looks before immediately showering him with praise."Right, we heard about Celia's car accident

    Elias was already hurrying away, having only caught the tail end of the doctor's words."I know you're all helping Celia put on this little act. Tell her to stop pretending and come out to see me."I laughed bitterly.In Elias' mind, I really was that much of a calculating snake.After I followed him upstairs, I watched Zoey throw herself into his arms and cling to him as if her life depended on it.Elias stiffened for a second, but made no move to push her away. Instead, he patted her back reassuringly. "It's okay. Don't be scared. The doctor said your anemia makes you prone to nightmares. Once the blood arrives, everything will be fine."Zoey nodded, then asked as if the thought had only just occurred to her."I heard Celia refused to donate blood for me and ran away. Is that true? Elias, please don't be mad at her. It's okay if she doesn't want to donate. I'm just her backup blood donor anyway. Really, I should be the one donating to her."She sounded generous, but the jab w

By the time they drew about 27 ounces, her veins had already collapsed, and then they forced it up to nearly 68—""Shut up!" Elias cut her off, even angrier now."Rachel, this is getting more ridiculous by the second. You've worked for me for five years, but that doesn't give you the right to stab me in the back and help Celia lie to me, let alone curse her!"Then, he shoved open the door, but the blood draw room was empty. No one was there.That was when I regained consciousness. I opened my eyes and saw Elias walking toward me.The next thing I saw was him reaching out to me.I instinctively flinched away, only to realize his hand passed straight thro
