Chapter 224
"Ms. Carter, please let me go home. I'm really fine now!" Elizabeth begged Amanda, clutching her arm.
Amanda glanced at Elizabeth's medical report and sighed, "It's not up to me. Mr. York won't allow it. My hands are tied!"
Elizabeth slumped on the bed, pouting. "I want to get back to work. I love my job, Ms. Carter. Can't you understand?"
Amanda chuckled.
Elizabeth followed Amanda into the operating room every day, working tirelessly, yet still got criticized. Did she really love her job?
"Alright, I'll talk to Mr. York," Amanda said, patting Elizabeth's head.
Elizabeth instantly perked up.
"Can I see Linda?" she asked.
Amanda nodded. "Sure."
Elizabeth quickly changed her shoes and followed Amanda to see Linda.
Linda was still in critical condition in the ICU.
Terry's stab wound was deep, and he had pulled the knife out after stabbing her.
Elizabeth looked at the frail Linda and remembered how she shielded her from the knife.
Despite being so thin and scared of Terry, Linda was brave when it mattered.
Elizabeth thought about how she had followed the kidnapper for Alexander. Actually, she was terrified of pain.
She had been pampered by her parents and never faced hardship.
But when she was stabbed and thrown into the sea, she didn't make a sound.
All she could think about was Alexander being alive.
In Linda, Elizabeth saw herself. She had already lost, so she couldn't let Linda lose too.
Elizabeth was determined to help Linda recover.
"Ms. Carter, I'll cover all of Linda's expenses," Elizabeth said.
Amanda nodded. "I know. We'll perform heart surgery once her condition stabilizes."
Just then, Elizabeth's phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar number.
Elizabeth answered, "Hello, Ms. Percy, we're from the Lisbun Police Department."
Elizabeth's expression changed.
Amanda was curious. "What happened?"
"The police said Terry is charged with intentional injury and might be sentenced," Elizabeth said, looking at Amanda.
"That's great. He deserves it. If Terry goes to prison, we can focus on treating Linda," Amanda said, smiling. "It's all fate's arrangement!"
Elizabeth and Amanda looked at Linda on the hospital bed.
Amanda's words echoed in Elizabeth's mind. It was all fate's arrangement.
Elizabeth thought about her attempts to divorce Alexander. Each time was harder than the last. Was their inability to divorce also fate's arrangement?
At that moment, Linda, who had been in a coma, moved her fingers.
Amanda was surprised. "She's awake!"
Elizabeth stepped forward as Amanda went to call the doctor.
Linda slowly opened her eyes.
Her fingers moved again, and she smiled weakly at Elizabeth.
Elizabeth smiled back.
They had been through life and death together.
"Linda, rest well," Elizabeth said.
Linda nodded weakly, her eyes fixed on Elizabeth.
To Linda, Elizabeth was her savior.
Elizabeth was the light in Linda's dark life, telling her to live strongly.
And she would.
