One Night Surprise

Chapter 363 Still So Cheeky

For a moment, Courtney was stunned, then she looked at Gale, feeling puzzled.

The car just happened to arrive, so before she could ask what he meant, Gale opened the car door for her.

“Get in. I wish you all the best.”

She smiled. “Thanks.”

As the taxi disappeared around the corner, the faint smile on Gale’s face gradually disappeared, and the remaining bit of shimmer in his eyes grew cold.

Alexander was his best friend. Of course, he hoped that his friend could find the greatest happiness in life, but he still had to think for his sake.

Elijah was so enthusiastic about arranging Cameron’s treatment, so Gale didn’t suspect anything until he overheard the conversation between Cameron’s deputy attending doctor and the nurse on Christmas Eve.

“Let’s reduce the dosage of the medicine for the time being. Mr. Grant said that he hopes that Miss Miller’s treatment can be extended as much as possible so that she can stay in the hospital for a longer period of time.”

“Why?”

“Don’t ask any more questions. Since it’s harmless to the patient, we’ll just do it accordingly.”

When Gale heard this, he pondered for a long time. He could only think of one reason why Elijah would deliberately lengthen the treatment process and delay Cameron from being discharged from the hospital—it was for Courtney.

Courtney had nothing to worry about when she returned to Melrose City, and she now had a new life there, almost completely disconnected from the years she spent in America. So, Elijah was using Cameron’s illness to help him hold onto the last connection between them.

As long as Cameron stayed in America, Courtney would certainly ask him about her situation.

He’s so cunning. Gale worried about Alexander for several days, and he even urged Cameron to cooperate with the treatment and strive to meet the standards of the indicators in the future physical examination so that she could be discharged early and not trouble Alexander.
