Elizabeth said Linda was independent. Even though she was Terry’s wife, she was still her own person.

“Linda, I promise I’ll cure you,” Elizabeth said, looking at the doctor outside. “Ms. Carter, Linda’s hurt.”

“Dr. Percy, thank you. Even if I die, it’s okay,” Linda said softly.

Elizabeth’s heart ached for her. Who wouldn’t want to be elegant? Hut life had made Linda a mess. Terry was taken away by the doctor; Elizabeth was still worried about Linda.

Elizabeth said Linda was usually cowardly, and she hated that. But when Terry charged at her, Linda, the so-called coward, stood in front of Elizabeth.

Watching Linda being taken away, Elizabeth’s brow furrowed.

“Elizabeth, are you okay?” Amanda’s voice broke through.

Elizabeth looked up, her eyes vacant. Amanda frowned and helped her up. “You must be scared. It’s okay; the police took that lunatic away. Let me take you to…”

Elizabeth took a step, her legs giving way. She quickly steadied herself, took a deep breath, and composed herself. “I’m fine,” she told Amanda.

Soon, the hospital incident spread through Lisbun. Declan heard Elizabeth had been stabbed and rushed to the hospital. “What happened? Who did it?” Declan cursed.

Celine was furious. “Get Nick over here!”

“Grandma,” Elizabeth said helplessly, “It’s just a small matter. It has nothing to do with Mr. York! I was helping a patient and got targeted by the family. Don’t make a fuss.” She made a quiet gesture.

“Elizabeth,” Celine pointed at her, eyes full of reproach. “If something happened to you, I’d be a sinner!”

“Exactly, I said Elizabeth should inherit my company. You insisted on her becoming a doctor!” Declan added.

“I think she should just stay home with me!” Grant, massaging Elizabeth’s palm, said.

Celine glared at Grant. “Stay home and be a bum with you? How old are you, and how old is Elizabeth?”

Amanda came in, and Elizabeth immediately asked, “How’s Linda?”

“Unconscious, in critical condition,” Amanda replied.

“Is she in danger?” Elizabeth frowned, worried.

Chapter 217

“It didn’t hit any vital parts, so she should be fine. You should rest,” Amanda reminded her.

Elizabeth nodded, feeling heavy-hearted. Her phone buzzed with news.

Netizen A: [The most beautiful doctor, Elizabeth! She’s amazing!] Netizen B: [That man is crazy. I saw him hit his wife at the clinic! He should be sentenced!] Netizen C: [I’m afraid it’s a family matter, and he’ll be released soon…] Netizen A: [Protect Dr. Percy!]

Elizabeth felt touched. People were still righteous. She felt what she did was right; otherwise, she’d doubt herself.

“I’m fine, don’t crowd around me,” Elizabeth said, pushing Declan. “Take Grandpa and Grandma home. Dad, you get busy too.”

“Are you sure you’re okay?” Declan asked, worried.

Elizabeth nodded. “Really, I’m fine. Besides, I’m in the hospital. What could happen?”

Declan thought for a moment, then took Celine and Grant away. The ward quieted down. Elizabeth rubbed her shoulder; it hurt. The wound on her shoulder and neck throbbed. She took a deep breath, remembering being thrown into the sea. She struggled but saw no light…

There was a knock on the ward door.
