Chapter 499

Lloyd still had bits of glass from the car window stuck in his arm, and he hadn’t had a chance to deal with it yet. Seeing this, Elizabeth quickly pulled her hand back. She stared at Lloyd in disbelief.

“Elizabeth, weren’t you abroad?” Lloyd was even more shocked.

Elizabeth’s eyes filled with tears. “My grandma had an accident. Why would I stay abroad? Where is my grandma? Where are my parents?” Her voice trembled and grew louder. Just as Lloyd was about to answer, Elizabeth felt a tap on her shoulder.

“Elizabeth, come with me,” Charles’s voice came from behind.

Elizabeth turned, surprised. “Charles.”

“Yeah,” Charles looked at her a few more times and smiled. “I thought you were really leaving.”

“Grandma had an accident,” Elizabeth said, feeling upset.

Charles frowned and led her down a private emergency room corridor. Walking through the long hallway, Elizabeth saw her family. Grant sat silently on the sofa, and Declan stood at the door holding Rose.

When Elizabeth and Charles arrived, they all looked up. Seeing Elizabeth, they seemed both surprised and unsurprised at the same time.

“Mom, why didn’t you tell me!” Elizabeth was annoyed.

If Elizabeth had turned off her phone, she wouldn’t have seen the news. By the time she flew abroad and saw the news, she would have had to come back anyway.

“I thought it wasn’t serious,” Rose said.

Elizabeth immediately looked toward the emergency room and thought, ‘What does that mean? Is Grandma’s condition very serious?’

Rose explained, “When your grandma was brought to the hospital, her arm was injured just like Lloyd’s. The doctor just came out and said that her hand injury is very serious.”

Elizabeth was stunned. Celine was a doctor, and her hands were quite important.

“Let’s wait and see,” Declan sighed. As long as the final verdict wasn’t out, there was still hope.

Elizabeth was stunned. She quickly turned to leave.

“Elizabeth, where are you going?” Rose shouted, “Can’t you wait for your grandma to come out?”

“Mom, I’m going to find a way. Grandma’s hand can’t be lost!” Elizabeth’s expression was serious, but her voice still carried a hint of choking.

Rose didn’t stop her, knowing that Elizabeth couldn’t accept this fact. Elizabeth needed to enter the emergency room under another identity. She couldn’t just stand by.

In the emergency room, Nick was working on saving Celine. Orthopedics was his specialty, but even he was having a hard time in the operating room. Celine was already in her seventies, and her bones weren’t as strong as those of younger people. The car accident had caused fractures, bone fragments, and nerve damage, compounded by years of accumulated ailments, making Celine’s right arm unable to bear the burden.

The moment Nick saw Elizabeth appear, he felt like he had found a savior. He was about to call Elizabeth’s name.

Elizabeth shook her head. “Mr. York, I’m here to assist you.”

Nick frowned but still told Elizabeth the worst possible outcome. “Your grandma might lose this arm.”

Elizabeth shook her head. “Mr. York, that would be a devastating blow to her.”

Nick could only say, “I’ll do my best.”

Elizabeth thought for a moment and decided to give it a try. “Mr. York, let’s try combining it with acupuncture. After you handle the initial treatment, I’ll do the acupuncture. What do you think?”

“Alright. Come, stop the bleeding.” Continuous arterial bleeding was not a good sign.

On the operating table, Celine wore an oxygen mask. The once elegant Celine was now covered in blood.

Elizabeth bit her lower lip lightly. She couldn’t imagine what Celine was thinking at this moment. Celine was a doctor; she should be very aware of the extent of her injuries.
