Chapter 596

Elizabeth clutched the flowers in her hands and asked Henry, “Did remarrying Alexander improve Esme’s recovery?”

Henry was nervous. “No,” Elizabeth said flatly.

Henry smiled. “Really?”

Just then, someone called from behind, “Henry, how’s Esme doing?”

Elizabeth turned and saw Leon and Ellen. Leon was helping Ellen, who looked completely distraught.

“Dad, Mom. Esme’s in the emergency room, but she should be okay,” Henry told them.

Ellen immediately noticed Elizabeth and showed no warmth toward her. Elizabeth looked at Ellen, her eyes equally hostile. Their relationship had been irreparably damaged since the kidnapping incident.

It was Leon’s first time seeing Elizabeth. The moment he saw her, he felt a strange, familiar emotion. He stared at her, lost in thought.

Elizabeth felt uncomfortable under Leon’s gaze and said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going.”

“Elizabeth,” Leon called out.

Elizabeth looked back, and Leon’s eyes still seemed odd. Henry noticed Leon and wondered if he, too, found Elizabeth somewhat familiar.

“It’s nothing,” Leon shook his head.

Elizabeth nodded and quickly entered the elevator. Leon and Ellen headed toward the emergency room. Leon said, “If our daughter were like Elizabeth, how great would that be?”

Ellen angrily replied, “Have you forgotten what she did to me?”

Lean frowned, his tone full of reprimand. “But wasn’t it your fault in the first place? If you hadn’t ordered Elizabeth’s kidnapping, would she have retaliated? Ellen, why are you being unreasonable now?”

Ellen remained silent.

Leon continued, “I know you’re worried about Esme, but you can’t just do whatever you want for her sake!”

Hearing this, Ellen felt aggrieved and was on the verge of tears. “I just thought that if I treated Esme well, others might treat our Nancy well in return.”

Mentioning Nancy made the atmosphere heavy.

Leon then asked Henry, “Still no news?”

Henry shook his head. Leon sighed and said nothing more.

“But recently…” Henry looked at Leon, wanting to mention something about Elizabeth. But when Leon looked up, Henry suddenly closed his mouth. Leon waited for Henry to continue. Henry shook his head.

Forget it. Henry decided not to tell them for now. He would wait until he had checked everything thoroughly to avoid giving them false hope. Thinking this, he looked into the distance. He wanted to investigate Elizabeth because he had a lingering suspicion that she might have some connection to the Russell Family.

“If you have something to say, just say it,” Ellen said sadly.

Henry shook his head. “It’s nothing.”

Just then, the door to the emergency room opened.
