Chapter 730
โBut Elizabeth, I can only feel at ease if I leave my grandmother with you,โ Alexander said, furrowing his brow with a hint of guilt in his expression.
Elizabeth sighed. If it were the old her, she would have agreed. But fortunately, she was no longer the person she used to be.
โAlexander, I used to be your wife. I could consider your family, think about you and me, and I would have agreed without hesitation. But now, we are nothing to each other, not even close friends. So, I can refuse you without any burden,โ Elizabeth said, looking into Alexanderโs eyes with sincerity in her gaze.
Alexander lowered his head and chuckled. โI overstepped.โ
โItโs not that you overstepped; itโs that the old me made you feel too secure. When you werenโt around, I was responsible for everything in the Tudor family,โ Elizabeth said, meeting his gaze.
She had gone from liking him to being indifferent and calm, all in just three years.
Alexander nodded, acknowledging that Elizabeth was right. It was because of Elizabeth that his life was so peaceful, allowing him to spend so much time on Esme. He wished Elizabeth could hold onto him a bit tighter. But unfortunately, Elizabeth would never hold onto him again.
He used to resent her constant calls and messages. Now, her number would never call again, and he would never call her either.
In these three years, Elizabeth might have been confused. But Alexander was clear-headed. He knew he had clearly lost Elizabeth.
Nick walked over from the side, not surprised to see the two standing together. Although Elizabeth hadnโt said she would take care of Lilyโs illness, she always showed up to help whenever Lily was critically ill.
He and Elizabeth were working more and more smoothly together. If Elizabeth could work at the hospital under the name Emily, it would be big news in the medical world!
โMr. York, youโre here,โ Elizabeth greeted Nick politely.
Nick nodded. โElizabeth.โ
โMr. Tudor, let me update you on Lilyโs condition,โ Nick said.
โMr. York, may I listen in as well?โ Elizabeth immediately followed.
Nick nodded. โOf course.โ
The two followed Nick to the side, and Nick said seriously, โHereโs the situation. Lily now has heart disease complications, accompanied by high blood pressure. She canโt be stimulated; if she is, her blood pressure will spike.โ
Elizabeth furrowed her brow, and Nick continued, โWhen we discovered it today, her blood pressure had already spiked to over 2, which is very dangerous for someone of Lilyโs age.โ
Alexander furrowed his brow, and Nick added, โDuring the recent resuscitation, I found stimulants in Lilyโsโฆโ
Alexander froze. โStimulants?โ

Yes. Do you have any idea why this might be? Nick asked.
They exchanged puzzled looks and shook their heads. Nickโs expression grew serious. Elizabethโs eyes darkened, and she and Alexander said in unison, โItโs because of that note.โ
Alexander suddenly said to Nick, โMr. York, I think I might need to transfer my grandmother to another hospital.โ
Nick considered this for a moment, then nodded. โThat might be a good idea.โ
The situation had become quite complicated, leaving Alexander with little choice. Listening to their conversation, Elizabeth felt uneasy.
Stimulants. How much did this person despise Alexander to do something so cruel to Lily?
