Chapter 118
Alexander held Elizabethโs hand, signaling her to stay calm. Nick took off his mask, looked at the group, and said, โHeโs not doing well.โ Habeth stepped back, and Alexander quickly pulled her into a hug.
โWhat do you mean?โ Hosped, her voice breaking.
โMr. Percy is still being resuscitated. He just went into shock, and his condition is unstable. This is a critical condition notice.โ Nick handed over the document and continued, โMrs. Percy needs you to sign it.โ
Elizabeth felt a pang of pain at Nickโs words. Declan tried to stay calm as he signed. โDo you think heโll make it?โ
Nick sighed, โItโs hard to say.โ
It felt like a death sentence for Grant. Elizabethโs legs went weak; memories of Grant flashed through her mind. Declan collapsed onto a bench. Alexander rushed over. โMr. Perry!โ
Declan waved him off, indicating he was okay. Just then, someone from the emergency room called out, โMr. York, come quickly!โ
Nickโs gut told him something was wrong. He hurried back inside. Elizabeth watched him go, feeling anxious. Suddenly, a thought flashed through Elizabethโs mind. She clutched her heart and told Alexander, โTake care of my parents. I need someโฆโ She left immediately.
Alexander didnโt see her again until the emergency room light went off and the door opened. Nick and Celine walked out. The group rushed over.
โMom, how is Dad?โ Declan asked, worried.
Celine patted his arm and comforted him, โHeโs okay now. Theyโll move him to a room for observation.โ
โReally?โ Rose asked repeatedly.
Celine nodded. Grant was wheeled out. Declan followed quickly. Alexander was the last to follow. He noticed a woman in a white coat leaving the emergency room, who looked like Elizabeth.
Is it Elizabeth? He followed but lost her in the lobby. In the safety corridor, Elizabeth watched Alexander, clutching the white coat. She almost got caught. Her phone rang. It was Felix.
Felix asked, โBoss, did your grandpa make it?โ
Elizabeth replied in a loving voice, โYes. Your medicine arrived just in time.โ

Felix laughed. โIt wasnโt the medicine; it was your acupuncture skills!โ
Elizabeth frowned. Her skills were useful but exposed her identity. In the emergency room, Nick had recognized her by the acupuncture tools. โYouโre the one who saved me that day!โ
She couldnโt hide anymore. At the hospital room, Alexander was waiting at the door. He leaned against the wall, looking into the room, deep in thought. Sensing Elizabeth, he turned and met her gaze.
