Chapter 599

“I’ll head to the research institute first,” Elizabeth said, tucking Celice in with a warm smile.

“Go ahead,” Celine waved her off. Elizabeth pouted; Celine didn’t even try to keep her around. “Alright, I’ll come see you when I can.”

After a quick chat with Charles, Elizabeth left. She had a ton of work waiting at the research institute. As she walked past the emergency department, she spotted Nolan.

“Ms. Percy?” Nolan looked surprised to see her.

“I came to see my grandma. What about you?” Elizabeth asked.

Nolan was holding some meds and lab results. “Mr. Tudor had a stomach issue last night. I’m here to get him some medication and an IV.”

Elizabeth glanced towards the emergency department. Alexander had a stomach problem? Didn’t we all go home separately after the movie last night? she thought.

“Did Alexander go drinking?” she asked.

Nolan nodded, feeling a mix of emotions. She’s asking if Alexander went drinking—wasn’t that a sign she was worried about him? he thought.

“Got it,” Elizabeth nodded. She didn’t say much more and turned to leave.

Nolan blinked and quickly headed to the ward. Alexander was lying on the bed, his arm covering his face, looking miserable.

“Mr. Tudor, let me tell you something cheerful,” Nolan said, pulling up a chair and setting his stuff aside.

Alexander didn’t move or make a sound. There wasn’t much cheerful in his life, and every day was a drag. He drank a bit, and his stomach problem flared up again.

“I just saw Ms. Percy,” Nolan said excitedly.

As soon as he heard that, he lowered his arm and stared at Nolan with tired eyes. “You saw Elizabeth?”

Nolan nodded quickly.

“Did you tell her I was sick?” Alexander asked immediately.

Nolan smiled and nodded. “I did. Elizabeth even asked if you went drinking. Mr. Tudor, Ms. Percy is worried about you!”

Alexander frowned, not entirely buying it.

Nolan insisted, “Really, the way she asked, she was definitely worried about you.”

Chapter 599

Alexander pressed his lips together, expressionless. “So? Why didn’t she come to see me?”

Nolan was speechless. He did remember how decisively Elizabeth had turned and left. But if Elizabeth didn’t care about Alexander, why would she ask if he had been drinking?! No matter what, Elizabeth definitely cared about Alexander.

“Mr. Tudor, Elizabeth was busy heading to the research institute,” Nolan tried to save face for him.

Alexander smiled without saying anything. He then asked, “When can I leave?”

“When this IV is done. The doctor said if your stomach doesn’t hurt, you’re good to go. If it still hurts, they recommend you stay for further examination.” Nolan poured a glass of water for Alexander.

Alexander closed his eyes and said nothing.

“Mr. Tudor, didn’t I tell you before? You need to eat something before drinking. Drinking on an empty stomach is too hard on it,” Nolan sighed.

In the end, it was Alexander who suffered. Alexander didn’t respond.

Nolan sighed again. “Ms. Percy messaged me before, telling me to remind you about this.”

Nolan’s words made the already troubled Alexander even more agitated. It was like these words were a constant reminder of how much he had missed out on someone who truly cared about him—Elizabeth.
