Chapter 118
Alexander held Elizabeth's hand backward, signaling her to stay calm.
Nick took off his mask, looked at the group, and said, "He's not doing well."
Elizabeth stepped back, and Alexander quickly pulled her into a hug.
"What do you mean?" Rose asked, her voice breaking.
"Mr. Percy is still being resuscitated. He just went into shock, and his condition is unstable. This is a critical condition notice." Nick handed over the document and continued, "Mrs. Percy needs you to sign it."
Elizabeth felt a pang of pain at Nick's words.
Declan tried to stay calm as he signed. "Do you think he'll make it?"
Nick sighed, "It's hard to say."
It felt like a death sentence for Grant.
Elizabeth's legs went weak, memories of Grant flashing through her mind.
Declan collapsed onto a bench. Alexander rushed over. "Mr. Percy!"
Declan waved him off, indicating he was okay.
Just then, someone from the emergency room called out, "Mr. York, come quickly!"
Nick's gut told him something was wrong. He hurried back inside.
Elizabeth watched him go, feeling anxious.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Elizabeth's mind. She clutched her heart and told Alexander, "Take care of my parents. I need some air."
She left immediately.
Alexander didn't see her again until the emergency room light went off and the door opened.
Nick and Celine walked out. The group rushed over.
"Mom, how is Dad?" Declan asked, worried.
Celine patted his arm and comforted, "He's okay now. They'll move him to a room for observation."
"Really?" Rose asked repeatedly.
Celine nodded.
Grant was wheeled out. Declan followed quickly.
Alexander was the last to follow. He noticed a woman in a white coat leaving the emergency room, which looked like Elizabeth.
'Is it Elizabeth?' He followed but lost her in the lobby.
In the safety corridor, Elizabeth watched Alexander, clutching the white coat.
She almost got caught.
Her phone rang. It was Felix.
Felix asked, "Boss, did your grandpa make it?"
Elizabeth replied in a low voice, "Yes. Your medicine arrived just in time."
Felix laughed. "It wasn't the medicine; it was your acupuncture skills!"
Elizabeth frowned. Her skills were useful but exposed her identity.
In the emergency room, Nick had recognized her with the acupuncture tools. "You're the one who saved me that day!"
She couldn't hide anymore.
At the hospital room, Alexander was waiting at the door.
He leaned against the wall, looking into the room, deep in thought.
Sensing Elizabeth, he turned and met her gaze.
