Chapter 699
Alexander withdrew his gaze. It was Elizabeth calling him for a quick check-up. So he walked over. Elizabeth was no longer her usual gentle self; she was cold and assertive, indicating she had really changed. It wasn’t just her love for him that had changed, but that she had changed in many ways.
After examining Alexander, the doctor gave him an IV and repeatedly reminded him to eat three meals a day on time. Elizabeth listened silently from the side. If Alexander had followed the doctor’s advice, he wouldn’t have ended up in the hospital with recurring stomach issues.
“Nolan might be very busy, so I didn’t ask him to come and stay with you. I asked a nurse to keep an eye on your IV. I’m going upstairs to check on Lily now. Can you manage on your own?” Elizabeth poured a glass of water and placed it on the bedside table, looking at him, whose face didn’t look too good.
Alexander looked at her back and really wanted to say he couldn’t manage. But he still didn’t know how Lily was doing.
“I want to go with you to see Lily,” he said.
“You can’t move right now.” Elizabeth frowned, a trace of irritation flashing in her eyes.
Alexander remained silent, and Elizabeth added, “I’ll come back and tell you how she is.” After all, she had to pass by the emergency room when leaving the hospital.
Hearing this, Alexander nodded. Elizabeth nodded back and checked his IV again. Before leaving, she reminded the nurse once more that Alexander had no one with him and asked them to pay extra attention.
Alexander watched as she took care of everything, feeling even more ashamed. How could he possibly make it up to Elizabeth? It clearly was an unsolvable problem.
When Elizabeth arrived at the ward, Elara was at the door on the phone with Blake, updating him on Lily’s condition. Because Blake was in a meeting and couldn’t get away. The weather was already cold, and people got tired easily. Elara hadn’t slept well for several nights and looked quite haggard.
She hung up and, seeing Elizabeth return, urgently asked, “Elizabeth, how is it? Did you find out anything?”
Elizabeth shook her head. “Elara, don’t worry, there will be a result. I go check on Lily first,” she said as she left. Elara received another call, and Elizabeth gestured for her to take it; besides, it would be easier for her to handle things without Elara’s presence.
Elizabeth then closed the ward door. Lily was still unconscious, but her condition wasn’t serious. Moreover, Lily seemed to have struggled, causing her heart to beat erratically. Elizabeth frowned and examined her closely. She had brought a special medicine with her today. She glanced outside the door and saw that Elara was still on the phone. She then took out a pill and fed it to Lily. Although Lily was no longer in serious condition, her heart hadn’t stabilized. So, Elizabeth might have to come every day to give her a special pill.
