Unrepairable Love

Chapter 214

When Lila called, Elizabeth went quiet, and Lila instantly understood.

“Come on, admit it. You can’t let go, can you?” Lila pressed.

Elizabeth poured herself some water and sighed. “I can let go just fine. It’s my driver’s license that can’t.”

Lila was confused. “Your driver’s license?”

“Yeah, it went missing at the worst time. I need a new one before I can file for divorce,” Elizabeth said, taking a sip and staring out the window, looking worn out.

Lila sighed. “Your marriage was a mess from the start, and now even the divorce is a hassle.”

Elizabeth almost laughed. Why was getting a divorce so complicated? If it weren’t for today’s plans, she wouldn’t have even noticed her license was gone.

Lila switched topics. “Hey, I’m going to a party in a few days. Want to come?”

Elizabeth squinted. “What kind of party?”

“An entertainment industry bash. Big directors, stars, investors, and company owners. Even your uncle,” Lila said casually.

“We’ll see. I have surgery soon, so I’m not sure,” Elizabeth sighed.

“You’ll find time, I’ll fill you in on all the gossip! Anyway, I gotta get back to work.” Lila hung up.

Lila was always like that—quick to chat, quick to hang up. Elizabeth was used to it.

Suddenly, a man’s angry voice echoed near the nurse’s station: “Where’s Elizabeth? Get her out here! When did our family business become her concern? That bitch treated… consent… Did she get my permission? Get her out here!”

Elizabeth turned around, phone in hand, and saw Sunny rushing over. She grabbed Elizabeth and said, “Dr. Percy, Ms. Carter says you need to hide!”

“What’s going on?” Elizabeth asked as Sunny pushed her along.

“Linda’s husband is here, causing trouble!” Sunny said urgently.

Elizabeth stopped. “If I leave, what about you guys? That man was lunatic; no one could guarantee he wouldn’t hurt someone.”

“Don’t worry about us. Ms. Carter said to protect you first,” Sunny insisted.

Elizabeth frowned. “I don’t need protection. I’ll handle this.”

As they walked towards the nurse’s station, she called the police. “This is Evergreen Medical Center. There’s a disturbance in cardiology by a patient’s family member. I need to report it.” Her tone was sharp, her expression serious, and her presence commanding.

Sunny looked at Elizabeth, mouth slightly open, thinking Elizabeth’s presence was truly formidable.

“Dr. Percy, be careful. He’s a madman,” Sunny warned.

Elizabeth nodded slightly. “Got it.”

The nurses’ station was crowded. Elizabeth hadn’t even squeezed in yet when she heard the man cursing. “I only want to see Elizabeth. Get her out here!”

“She treated your wife, and you should be thanking her! What’s wrong with you?” someone criticized.

He glared fiercely. “Did I ask her to treat my wife? Now that she’s treated her, what about the future? She still can’t have kids and will just be a vase at home, recovering! Who’s going to pay for decades of medical bills? If Linda dies, she dies. Who asked you to save her?” The man waved a knife around, pointing it everywhere. “Why don’t you save someone who needs saving?”

Elizabeth finally squeezed in after he finished speaking.

Amanda frowned when she saw Elizabeth. ‘Didn’t I tell her not to show up?’

The man’s expression darkened as he scrutinized Elizabeth, as if judging her. He held a knife, wearing tattered clothes, and his shoes had holes in them. His beard was scruffy, and his skin was sunburned.

“This is a hospital. No disturbances allowed,” Elizabeth said coldly.

“I don’t care where this is. Discharge my wife right now!!” The man glared at Elizabeth, looking very fierce.
