Chapter 483 Putting Elodie to Sleep
"Alexander, I got the test results. Elodie is your sister."
This sentence pierced Alexander's chest like a needle.
Elodie really was his sister.
His kind-hearted sister from childhood.
Alexander's eyes burned, and his voice became hoarse: "Send me a copy of the report, and don't make a fuss."
"Okay, I'll send it to you right away."
After hanging up Sophia's call, Alexander, with red eyes, held Elodie's hand.
He wanted to tell her the news, wanted to hug Elodie and say, "I am your brother."
But Elodie had just undergone a heart transplant and couldn't handle too much shock.
The hard-won heart, the hard-won chance at a new life, he couldn't let anything go wrong with Elodie.
Feeling Alexander's cold, trembling hand, Elodie looked at his red eyes and asked worriedly, "Mr. Cross, is something wrong?"
Alexander shook his head, trying to stabilize his emotions.
He slightly curved his lips and said, "Sophia told me some good news, and I got too excited."
Elodie widened her eyes and asked, "Did Sophia agree to get back together with you?"
"Something like that, it shouldn't be far off."
"That's great, Mr. Cross. I just want to see you and Sophia reconcile. I can tell she still has feelings for you. The reason she went on blind dates was to get over you. If she really didn't care about you, she wouldn't have done that."
Alexander smiled with relief.
This is the difference between a real sister and a fake one.
Daisy only created conflicts between him and Sophia.
But Elodie had always spoken up for him.
This is the meaning of blood ties.
Alexander tightly squeezed Elodie's hand and said in a deep voice, "Elodie, when you get better, I have some good news to tell you."
Elodie smiled, "Getting a second chance at life is already the best news for me, and this luck is all thanks to you and Sophia. I will be good to you both in the future."
Her bright eyes were full of sincerity.
It softened Alexander's heart.
Isn't this just like his sister from childhood?
She used to always hug his neck and say, "Alex, when I grow up and make money, I'll be as good to you as you are to me."
The same person, the same words, heard again after so many years.
Alexander felt a mix of pain and sweetness in his heart.
He curved his lips and said, "Okay, I'll wait for that day. Close your eyes and get some sleep."
Elodie felt a bit excited for some reason.
She didn't know if it was the hope for a new life or Alexander's kindness to her.
Elodie's eyelashes fluttered a few times, and she softly said, "Mr. Cross, if you're not busy, can you stay with me a little longer? If you're busy, then never mind."
Elodie spoke cautiously, afraid of causing any trouble for Alexander.
But Elodie didn't know why, she just wanted Alexander to stay by her side.
With Alexander around, she felt very secure.
Alexander gently stroked Elodie's head and said softly, "Then you have to call me Alex."
Without hesitation, Elodie called out, "Alex."
Elodie smiled, then cleared her throat and called again, "Alex, can you stay with me a little longer?"
Hearing this "Alex," Alexander felt a pang in his heart.
The long-lost call made his eyes moist.
He gently brushed Elodie's cheek and said softly, "I'm here, no one will bully you anymore."
Elodie confidently nodded, "Okay, I feel so happy, even if this happiness is only temporary."
Elodie felt like she had stolen Daisy's life.
She knew it wasn't right, but she couldn't control her emotions.
Alexander smiled and ruffled her hair, "It's not temporary, it's permanent. Close your eyes, and I'll tell you a story."
"Really? I want to hear 'The Little Prince,' is that okay?"
"Sure."
Alexander opened his phone, found the story of "The Little Prince," and his magnetic voice filled the room.
Elodie felt like she was dreaming.
Why did this scene feel so familiar?
It was as if Alexander had told her stories like this when she was a child.
She contentedly closed her eyes.
Although she didn't want to sleep and wanted to listen to Alexander's story a little longer.
But Elodie, who had just undergone surgery, was too weak.
In less than ten minutes, Elodie fell asleep.
Alexander looked at her sleeping face and gently stroked her eyes and nose.
Elodie looked exactly like his sister from childhood, why didn't he realize it?
Even when he heard Remy say Elodie looked like Daisy, why didn't he have any doubts?
If it weren't for Sophia's quick thinking, who knows how much more Elodie would have suffered.
And who knows how many more bad things Daisy would have done.
Thinking about Daisy stealing Elodie's life, the ruthlessness in Alexander's eyes grew.
He looked at Elodie's small face and said, "Elodie, I have something important to do. Rest well, and when you get better, I'll take you home."
Alexander stood up, gave a few more instructions to the nurse.
Then he had two bodyguards stand guard at the door.
He was worried Daisy might harm Elodie, and Elodie couldn't afford any mistakes now.
As soon as Alexander stepped out of the room, his phone rang.
He immediately answered.
"Mr. Cross, as per Cameron's instructions, we found the person who called him. It's Aaron's son, Kurt."
Alexander's lips curled into a sinister smile, and his voice was cold, "Good, then bring him and Aaron home together."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
"Did the paternity test results come out?"
"Yes, Aaron and Daisy are father and daughter."
Hearing this, the ruthlessness in Alexander's eyes intensified.
Aaron had been their family's butler for over thirty years, yet he did such a thing behind their backs.
He wanted to switch the children and live a carefree life.
They sure had grand plans.
He walked to Daisy's room.
Seeing him come in, Daisy's eyes lit up, and she said softly, "Alexander, how is Elodie?"
Alexander's voice was low, "Her surgery was very successful."
One sentence made Daisy's hands, hidden under the blanket, clench into fists.
That little bitch Elodie actually had a successful surgery.
Why didn't she die?
If Elodie had died, she would not only get the heart, but she would also forever be the Cross family's daughter.
It was all that little bitch Elodie who ruined her plans.
Thinking of this, Daisy bit her lip hard.
The malice in her eyes unconsciously showed.
Every move Daisy made was seen by Alexander.
He leaned down, looked into Daisy's eyes, and chuckled, "You don't seem very happy to hear this news."
Daisy immediately shook her head in denial, "No, I'm happy for Elodie too. With a father like that, her life shouldn't end like this. She deserves a better life."
"What kind of father did Elodie have, how do you know?"
