Chapter 696

Alexander stared at Elizabeth for a long time. He knew Declan was a reasonable person, but at this moment, he wouldn’t take the initiative to help him. So, these words were probably Elizabeth’s own thoughts. Alexander was really grateful to her. He also deeply regretted losing her and hurting her. He didn’t know how to make it up to her; he could only spend the rest of his long life slowly atoning for his sins.

“Thank you,” Alexander nodded, clearly exhausted.

Elizabeth didn’t say anything but looked towards the emergency room. Just then, the light in the emergency room went out. Nick came out and said, “It’s okay, just a bit of a scare.”

Elizabeth was puzzled. “How could she be scared?”

“You’d have to ask the guardian,” Nick simply replied.

Elizabeth felt even more uneasy and looked at Elara. Her expression was complicated as she said, “I didn’t upset Lily; maybe it was related to Alexander’s side.”

“It was a scare. Moreover, when we were resuscitating Lily, she showed signs of suffocation,” Nick said seriously.

Elizabeth was stunned. Alexander was also taken aback by this.

“Mr. York, you mean…” Elara took a step back. She didn’t want to think ill of others, but this made her have to. “You mean someone tried to smother Lily?”

Nick didn’t speak, but his silence was an admission. Alexander frowned and quickly turned to leave.

“Where are you going?” Elara asked him.

“The surveillance room,” he said.

Elizabeth quickly added, “I’m coming with you.”

Elara moved her lips, wanting to say something, but seeing them together, she finally closed her mouth. Alexander glanced at Elizabeth, and Elizabeth said, “I’ll help you.”

“Thank you,” he responded.

“You’re welcome. After all, I’m not doing this to help you; it’s because Lily was very good to me before.” Elizabeth followed him into the basement.

Alexander gave a bitter smile. Her response was not what he wanted to hear. In the surveillance room, he watched the security personnel adjust the monitors, his body swaying slightly. He then rubbed his fingers near his stomach, his breathing heavy. Elizabeth glanced at him.

Then the security guard said, “Here it is.” Alexander immediately walked over, and they looked at the screen together. A doctor in a uniform entered the ward.

“Can we see the footage inside the ward?” Alexander asked.

The security guard shook his head. “We need to protect the patient’s privacy, so there are no cameras inside the ward.”

From the surveillance footage, the doctor stayed in the ward for about three minutes. After he came out, Elara returned. So he even ran into Elara. Elara entered the ward, and soon the alarm in the ward went off, and everyone rushed in.

“Track his movements,” Elizabeth told the security guard.

The security guard then pulled up all the footage of the places this person had been. But in the stairwell on the third floor, the person’s image disappeared.

Elizabeth frowned. “Check the basement, keep looking.”

Alexander looked at the surveillance footage and said calmly, “So someone deliberately tried to harm Lily.”

Elizabeth stared intently at the monitor. It seemed that someone indeed wanted Lily’s life. This person was tall and thin, looking quite familiar from the silhouette, and judging by the exposed hair, he seemed to be young. Elizabeth crossed her arms and touched her mouth with one hand, biting her nails unconsciously. Next to her, Alexander suddenly braced himself on the table.
