Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1414

They did not seem like a married couple, more like partners who had signed an agreement. Nevertheless, Lena could tell that Kasey had feelings for Elijah. Her family benefited from this marriage alliance, yet she had become the sacrifice.

"What's wrong? Do you think I'm irresponsible in marriage?" Elijah maintained his nonchalant tone. "It's genetic! My old man wasn't responsible either."

Lena remained silent, uninterested in his family matters.

Elijah murmured, "He had a wife but still messed around outside. I'm much better than him. At least I didn't father any illegitimate..."

He paused and looked at Lena. "I didn't father any illegitimate children.

"But I seem to have a half-brother. My old man saw that child once before he died and entrusted me to find him. Why should I look for him? To compete for the family inheritance? Let him fend for himself outside!"

Annoyed by what she was hearing, Lena glanced at him and turned to leave.

"Hey, where are you going?"

Lena did not respond and headed toward the obstetrics and gynecology department. Surprisingly, she came across Lina, who had just finished her examination, at the entrance.

"Why are you coming out on your own?" Lena's heart skipped a beat. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I'm late! I..."

"Why so nervous?" Lina smiled. "I have nurses taking care of me. It's okay. Besides, I've finished the examination. I came out for some fresh air!"

She gently pushed aside the messy hair falling on Lena's forehead. Then, she caught sight of someone nearby...

Lina was startled and turned around.

"Mr. Chriss? You're here too?"

"Oh, hehehe..." Elijah's demeanor swiftly changed to a respectful one. "I..."

Lina looked at Lena. "You mentioned a friend who's in the hospital. Is it him?"

"Yeah."

"Thank you."

Elijah looked up and saw Lena diligently accompanying Lina. They looked like best friends, and he suddenly felt a pang of unease.

'Oh no! I never anticipated that Lena had such a significant background! I even offered her triple the salary and treated her like a nanny... I also boldly talked back!' he thought.

Elijah bit his tongue, his face turning white. He wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

"Mr. Chriss, are you okay?" Lina looked at him.

Elijah forced a smile. "I'm fine..."

"By the way, I'd like to formally inform you." Lina pulled Lena over with smiling eyes. "Lena is under me now. So, please be polite to her in the future!"

"Yes, yes!" Elijah nodded repeatedly, suddenly realizing a truth—one should never casually offend a woman!
