Chapter 343

Elizabeth saw the blood dripping from Alexander’s shoulder, clear as day. She looked at him and flashed a smile that was both gentle and stunning. She clung to him with both hands, not a hint of pity in her eyes. Her smile was so beautiful it was almost heartbreaking. The crowd was going wild, everyone pushing forward.

“You owe me a life,” Elizabeth whispered, her voice so soft it could be carried away by the wind. “But now, we’re even.”

And with that, she fainted. Alexander only caught the last part and was left totally confused.

“The ambulance is here! Move it!”

At the hospital, Elizabeth woke up around eight in the evening. She heard someone sobbing by her bedside, which forced her to open her eyes. The sound was just too heart-wrenching.

“Elizabeth’s awake!” That voice—it was Rose.

Elizabeth felt bad for making Rose worry. She reached out and gently held Rose’s hand. Rose cried even harder, “Scared the hell out of me!”

Elizabeth looked at Rose, her throat dry and unable to speak. Thinking back on the past few hours, it all felt like a dream. She’d been kidnapped out of nowhere and felt ashamed of her identity as Glory M. If Felix found out, he’d never let her live it down!

Rose helped Elizabeth sit up and quickly handed her some water. After a bit, Elizabeth took a deep breath and softly said, “Mom.”

“I’m here!” Rose nodded emphatically. The ward was empty except for Rose.

“Send everyone else home. Your dad went out for a smoke,” Rose said.

“Dad doesn’t smoke,” Elizabeth said softly.

Chapter 343

Because she didn’t like it, Declan didn’t…

At this, Rose’s tears fell again. “You worried us to death. Your dad…”

Before she could finish, the door opened, and Declan walked in. Seeing Elizabeth awake, he was visibly relieved. Elizabeth smiled at him and said, “Dad.”

Declan had a million questions, but seeing Elizabeth safe, he swallowed them all. “It’s good that you’re okay. I’ll get the doctor.”

He left the room, his back hunched, letting out a sigh of relief.

“Alexander saved you,” Rose said softly, “He got hurt.”

Elizabeth responded calmly, “I know.”

Rose was surprised. “You’re not worried about him?”

“Mom, he owes me,” Elizabeth continued, drinking water, her tone even calmer.

Rose frowned and touched Elizabeth’s forehead, wondering if she had a fever and was talking nonsense.

“I know you want to distance yourself from Alexander, but you don’t have to act like this. If you’re worried, go see him. After all, he did save you,” Rose said.

But before Rose could finish, Elizabeth said, “Mom, you’re overthinking it.”

Rose was even more surprised. Elizabeth was too calm.

“He got stabbed twice for you,” Rose said.
