Chapter 700

The door to the ward pushed open, and Elizabeth saw Elara enter. Elara asked, “Where’s Alexander?”

“He had a stomach problem. I just took him to the emergency room for an IV,” Elizabeth replied.

Elara paused, then sighed. “He is really worrisome. Ever since he left you, his life has been a mess! Elizabeth, I…” Elara looked at her, with so much to say, but fell silent.

Elizabeth looked at Elara, feeling an indescribable heartache. Lily had collapsed, Alexander had issues, and Blake was busy with the company. So, Elara had to handle everything at home. But Elara still had to work. The adult world was really tough and challenging. Elizabeth felt for Elara, so she tried to help her as much as possible.

“Elara, don’t say anything more,” Elizabeth smiled and patted her shoulder. She added, “From now on, I’ll come by every morning to check on Lily.”

“Okay,” Elara nodded, feeling deeply touched. Lily’s love for Elizabeth was not in vain, and Elizabeth was much more filial than anyone else in the family. The monitor showed that Lily’s heartbeat was gradually stabilizing.

Elizabeth felt relieved, greeted Elara, and then left. She sent a message to Nick: [Mr. York, I gave Lily the special medicine. She’s doing quite well. I hope the hospital can continue to take good care of her.]

Nick replied: [Got it, Elizabeth. I believe that we can definitely cure Lily together.] He was very happy to collaborate with her. He hoped that one day, Elizabeth would be willing to work at the hospital, saving more people under Emily’s name.

When Elizabeth arrived at the emergency room, Alexander was asleep. He must have been very tired, so it was not surprising that he fell asleep. Elizabeth came to the bedside and looked at Alexander, feeling a complex mix of emotions. A nurse came in to check the IV drip and whispered, “You’re back.”

Elizabeth nodded and asked, “How is he?”

“Mr. Tudor is fine, just a bit tired, so he fell asleep,” the nurse answered.

Elizabeth was silent for a moment, then said, “Ask the doctor to prescribe some stomach-protecting medicine for him.”

“Elizabeth, our doctors have always been prescribing it for Mr. Tudor. But Mr. Tudor doesn’t take it,” the nurse was also helpless, continuing to communicate with Elizabeth. “Why don’t you try to persuade Mr. Tudor? He will definitely listen to you?”

Elizabeth sighed. “I’m not anyone special to him. If he doesn’t listen to the doctors, why would he listen to me?” The nurse heard the bitterness in Elizabeth’s words. And she just smiled and then left.

Elizabeth stood there and sighed. If Alexander would listen to her, he wouldn’t keep having stomach problems. Elizabeth pulled up a chair, intending to sit and rest for a while. But when she looked up, she saw Alexander’s eyes on her. His eyes were still very red, visibly tired.

“You’re awake,” Elizabeth said flatly.

He didn’t say anything, just looked at her with an indescribable emotion.

“Lily is fine now, her condition is stable. I talked to Mr. York, and he said he would keep an eye on her, so you don’t need to worry about her,” Elizabeth told him.

Alexander nodded, still looking at her. Elizabeth felt a bit puzzled by his gaze. She then said, “You…” She wanted to ask him about the company.

Just then, Alexander’s phone rang; it was Nolan calling.

“Mr. Tudor, there’s a problem. Another department has come to inspect the company.”

Alexander frowned, feeling displeased. “Again? Which department?”

“It’s still the safety inspection department. I heard they came from higher up.” Nolan’s voice was a bit anxious. “Mr. Tudor, can you come back?”

Alexander looked up at the IV drip.
