Chapter 226

Just like Tarquin had eyes only for Elijah’s moin, swearing he’d spend his life with her and no other woman would

do,

Elysia frowned, her concern wasn’t his devotion, her heart was set on Elijah!

“It's been days, can he really go without eating?”

“He’s not completely fasting, just nibbling here and there, barely enough to keep going. | heard he’s lost a few

pounds in just a matter of days.*

Elysia was shocked. “Lost a few pounds?”

“Yeah, Elijah’s always had a lot on his mind, and lately, he’s been alck on and off. When he was eating well, he

could at least maintain his weight, but now, he’s shedding it fast.”

Elysia’s frown deepened, her heart ached with worry and quilt! The thought of Elijah, pale and thin, plunged her

into a sea of self-reproach.

It was all her fault! If only she had made the effort to cook delicious meals for him every day, he wouldn't be

wasting away.

After leaving the hospital, Elysia made a beeline for the supermarket. She filled her shopping cart without a

second thought!

Once home, she shed her coat, kicked off her shoes, rolled up her sleeves, and dove into the kitchen. For over

two hours, she was a whirlwind of culinary activity, preparing a dozen dishes, all for Elijah.

But then she hit a snag.

How was she going to get the food to Elijah?

After all that had happened, she couldn't just waltz up to him.

Even if she wasn’t considering her own safety, she had the kids to think about. She couldn't risk everything for

one child and ignore the

rest.

After much brainstorming, inspiration struck!

She grabbed her phone and ordered a delivery. She noted down the address carefully and told the delivery guy

to keep mum if asked

who sent it.

She was worried that if Allegra found out about the food, she'd cknocking again.

As long as Tarin saw those dishes, he'd know it was from her and would let Elijah eat in peace.

However-

The delivery guy barely got to the neighborhood gate and started asking for the apartment number when he was

stopped by sbodyguards lurking in the shadows.

After Allegra’s last visit, Tarquin had beefed up security around the house.

This sudden delivery raised suspicions, especially since the guy wouldn't say where it cfrom.

Tarquin’s bodyguards, all imposing and stern, terrified the delivery guy.

He immediately called Elysia, “Miss, I've been stopped. They're demanding to know who sent this food. What

should I do?”

Elysia panicked and asked in a hurry, “Who stopped you?”

“I don’t know them. Just two guys in suits, pretty intimidating.”

Not sure if they were Tarin’s men, Elysia replied, “Bring the food back then. I'll still pay you.”

The delivery guy sounded almost in tears, “But they won't letleave without an explanation.”

Feeling cornered, he blurted out Elysia’s nto the bodyguards.

Upon hearing Elysia’s name, the bodyguards lit up and immediately contacted Lowell, “Lowell, you won't believe

it! Ms. Thorne arranged for food to be delivered to Elijah!”

Lowell was astounded, “Really?”

“Yes! The delivery guy’s right here. Ms. Thorne didn’t cherself, sent it through a courier. There are three

thermal boxes full of

delicious food.”

“Keep him there; I'll confirm and get back.”

Trying to contain his excitement, Lowell quickly reached out to Elysia.

Once confirmed, he dashed out of his office towards the CEO's suite.

Seeing his excitement, a colleague stopped him, “Lowell, something good?”

Lowell, unable to contain his joy, announced, “Get ready to celebrate; no work today! And definitely no

overtime!”

Everyone was over the moon. “For real?".

“Just wait for the news!”

Bursting with confidence. Lowell barged into the CEO's office, too thrilled to even knock,

“Tarquin, it’s a day for celebration!”
