Chapter 162: I Take Responsibility For Her Life (3)

It was only when Elijah's car had driven a short distance that Charlotte Green stuffed the change into the car's storage box, took a chestnut, peeled it, and said, "Elijah, why didn't you wait for the change and just left?"

Elijah, however, didn't say a word, simply staring at the neon lights flashing by the window, becoming more and more irritated.

Not until the car had stopped in the Smith family's yard did Elijah turn off the engine, taking a while to do so. It was only after Charlotte softly reminded him that Elijah snapped out of his daze, turned off the car, grabbed his things and got out with Charlotte.

Returning to Charlotte's bedroom, Elijah poured Charlotte a glass of warm water, watched her take her medication, and lay down on the bed to sleep. He then left her room.
