Violette saw Lacey breathe a sigh of relief. Lacey was thrilled that Sarah came to help treat Makayla's sickness. She quickly approached the bodyguard and asked, "Is Mr. Bourne awake yet? Did he mention when he'll be back?"
Before the bodyguard could answer, Sarah already walked in with her medical bag.
"Ms. Sarah, did Mr. Bourne call you over?" Lacey asked.
Sarah nodded, "He should be back soon. How's Makayla doing now?"
She stopped at the staircase after saying this. Violette was standing upstairs. Their eyes met.
Sarah quickly took control of the situation. She looked at Lacey and asked in a cold tone, "Who invited Violette over?"
Lacey was a bit stuck, "Violette came to see Makayla."
"Oh, I thought someone invited her over.," Sarah said sarcastically, and then went upstairs. When she was close to Violette, she sneered, "Violette, didn't you break up with Elijah? I heard you dumped him. Who are you putting on this show of looking down on Elijah for? If no one invited you, why are you here? What a joke."
After saying this, Sarah walked past her, deliberately bumping her with her shoulder.
Seeing this, Lacey immediately went upstairs and whispered to Violette, "Violette, you should leave for now! I'll call you when Makayla gets better."
Violette's face turned cold. Her fingers tightened slightly. She did want to leave. But it felt like her feet were nailed to the floor, unable to move.
Wouldn't it be even more laughable if she left just because of a few words from Sarah?
She came to thank Makayla. Seeing Makayla so sick, she couldn't just leave like that. More importantly, she wasn't sure if Sarah could effectively alleviate Makayla's pain.
She didn't listen to Lacey's advice, went to Makayla's room, opened the door, and walked in.
Elijah's feelings then were probably similar to hers now! How ironic!
Her face was as hot as fire, and her heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife.
"Violette, I'm sorry. I understand how you're feeling but we can't delay Makayla's treatment." Lacey looked very troubled, "Even if Ms. Sarah cures her tonight, I'm afraid she won't be able to see you. So, you should go home for now."
Facing Lacey's sincere advice, Violette's inner defenses completely crumbled. If she continued to stay here, it really wouldn't suit her image. She clenched her lips and began to walk downstairs step by step.
"Violette, take it slow." Lacey said in agony, "I know you're pregnant. I shouldn't have let you be troubled like this, but Makayla suddenly fell ill. Only Ms. Sarah can help her. I'm really sorry."
"You don't have to apologize to me." Violette didn't stop walking. Her tone was calm, "I was impulsive today. I shouldn't have come here."
"Violette, don't say that. If Mr. Bourne knew you came, he would be very happy." Lacey followed her, gently supporting her, "Come back when Makayla gets better. By then, I will make sure you're well taken care of."
