Chapter 191
He moved his lips and locked eyes with Elizabeth’s beautiful almond-shaped ones. Henry homed in and swallowed hard. Elizabeth’s eyes reminded him of Allen’s when she was young. Henry lined his veneer, his brows furrowed, his rugged face still strikingly handsome. He warned Elizabeth, “Stay away from Esme. If you have issues with her, deal with them.” He was very fond of Esme, thinking that if he treated other daughters well, his own adopted sister would be treated well by her adoptive family. Nancy was his biological sister. If Nancy came home, he’d love her even more than Esme. He’d never raise his voice at Nancy and would give her the best of everything! “Elizabeth, watch yourself,” he added, then turned and went into the ward. The door slammed shut.
Elizabeth rolled her eyes. Esme should watch herself! Having first noted Esme’s guilty expression earlier, she seemed like she had something to hide.
As Elizabeth walked out of the inpatient department, Sunny called out, “Dr. Percy!” Elizabeth looked up. “What’s up?” Sunny logged over, panting. “Do you remember the couple who ended up in the police station because of a domestic violence case?” Elizabeth touched her head. “The hurt woman was beaten and brought into the emergency room!” Sunny said.

I’m very lonely!” Elizabeth glared at him while peeling an apple. “What do you want to go out for?” “I want to go home to see the Howes, feel the breeze, and drink tea,” Grant said pitifully. She offered him a small piece of apple and said, “Got it. I’ll take you home as soon as possible.”
“So, how are things with Alexander lately? Have you divorced yet?” Grant’s eyes lit up when he mentioned this. Elizabeth sighed. She had never seen a family like this. Whenever they asked about her duty, they were more excited than if they had made a million dollars.

Amanda brought a patient up from the emergency room. Elizabeth stood up. “Grandpa, I have to go. You rest first.”
Emergency Department
Elizabeth walked in; she heard people saying, “That woman was beaten so badly!” “Her face is almost unrecognizable! I heard she has a heart condition too.” Elizabeth naturally knew who they were talking about. As Elizabeth was looking for someone, she passed by the woman’s ward. The woman was lying in bed, covered in medical equipment. When she saw Elizabeth, she instinctively called out, “Dr. Percy,”
