Chapter 117

It's serious. Elizabeth's tears fell instantly. She called Declan, her voice shaky, “Dad, how’s Grandpa?”

Grandfather’s illness is serious. He’s still being resuscitated. The doctor said it’s not looking good,” Declan replied heavily.

Elizabeth clenched her knees, her fingers digging into her skin. “How did Grandpa suddenly have a heart attack?”

“Your grandma mentioned he had occasional heart pain six months ago, but they didn’t think it was serious,” Declan’s voice trembled.

Tm almost there… Elizabeth’s mind went blank. She could save others, but when Grant got sick, she lost it.

“Alexander, hurry up,” Elizabeth urged.

Alexander glanced at her. Her eyes were bloodshot, tears streaming down her face, panic evident.

The courthouse was a thirty-minute drive from Evergreen Medical Center. Every red light felt like torture to Elizabeth. She closed her eyes, taking deep breaths, but couldn’t calm down. She thought, Grant must be okay! If something happened to him, what would our family do? She couldn’t imagine life without Grant.

Just when Elizabeth felt lost and panicked, a warm hand held hers. Alexander looked ahead, suppressing his emotions, and comforted her, “Grandpa will be fine, Elizabeth. Don’t scare yourself.”

However, as soon as he finished, Elizabeth felt even more upset. “Don’t cry.” He frowned, heartbroken seeing her cry.

Elizabeth turned to look out the window. Alexander tightened his grip on her hand and pressed the gas pedal.

When they arrived at the hospital, the place was swarming with media. As soon as the media saw them, they surrounded them, asking, “How is Mr. Percy doing now?”

“Ms. Percy, Mr. Percy’s health has always been good. How could he suddenly have a heart attack?”

Elizabeth didn’t have time to answer; she just wanted to see Grant! But the more she tried to push inside, the more the crowd blocked her.

“Ms. Percy, you’re crying so sadly. Does that mean Mr. Percy’s condition is bad?” a reporter asked pointedly.

Elizabeth gritted her teeth. These reporters always make things up! Do they wish for Grant to be in bad condition?

Alexander sensed her turmoil. He grabbed her hand and shielded her behind him, whispering, “Elizabeth, stop crying. The reporters will make up stories based on your expression. Grandpa is sick, and the Percy family is already in chaos. If the Percy Group’s stock fluctuates because of this, it won’t be good.”

He then turned to the media, his voice cold and stern. “Our grandpa’s condition isn’t that bad! We will inform you of any updates as soon as possible. Please don’t crowd her and disrupt the hospital.”

Alexander’s words made the media hesitate. “Please step aside, thank you!” Alexander pulled Elizabeth inside. His calm demeanor helped stabilize her anxious heart.

Elizabeth followed him, feeling even more sorrowful as she watched him clear the way. They reached the emergency room.

Chapter 117

At the door, Declan was supporting Rose, who was crying silently. Declan looked up and saw Alexander. He was surprised. “Why is Alexander with Elizabeth?”

Before Alexander could greet them, the emergency room door opened. Nick walked out, his forehead covered in sweat. He looked at the Percys and Alexander, feeling nervous and momentarily at a loss for words.

Elizabeth clutched Alexander’s arm, worriedly asking, “Mr. York, how’s my grandpa?”
