Chapter 479
Nolan chimed in, "You know him, right? The guy I was visiting the last few times."
Elizabeth's eyes lit up with realization.
In the ER, the guy Mark rushed out with was Gabriel. And the last time Nolan swung by the inpatient department, it was for Gabriel too.
She'd been bumping into that kidnapper more times than she could count.
"So, it was really you who saved Mr. Tudor, huh?" Nolan asked.
Elizabeth looked confused. "Who else would it be?"
"Why didn't you mention it even once in the past three years?"
"I thought he knew," Elizabeth said, her voice steady.
Nolan gave a helpless smile, thinking, 'How would Mr. Tudor know if she never said anything? He was seriously hurt too.'
"You were too naive," Nolan's voice got a bit rough.
Elizabeth felt a pang of helplessness. She'd only recently found out Alexander never knew it was her who saved him.
"When Mr. Tudor wakes up, can you tell him yourself that it was you who saved him?" Nolan asked.
Elizabeth smiled. "No need. Whether he knows or not, it doesn't matter."
"Why? It's super important." Esme had claimed she saved him, and Alexander had been spoiling her endlessly because of it.
If Alexander had known earlier that it was Elizabeth who saved him, things would be so different now.
"I don't want him to love me out of pity." Elizabeth lifted her head, her eyes shining with determination.
She looked at Nolan and made up her mind. "Nolan, since he doesn't know, let's keep it that way."
Nolan was even more confused.
"I'm planning to go abroad," Elizabeth said with a smile.
She had decided to study finance and management overseas and then come back to take over Declan's company.
Elizabeth started to feel sorry for Declan and wanted to help him out. She wasn't running away from the mess in Lisbun; she was aiming for a better future.
"Nolan, remember, keep it a secret." She placed a finger on her lips, her eyes pleading.
Elizabeth hurried off. She didn't want any ties with Alexander or his circle.
The world was big, and if they were meant to part ways, they shouldn't stay in touch.
Back in her room, she took a deep breath and pulled out her phone.
She texted Felix: [Felix, I've decided to go abroad to study.]
Felix replied quickly: [I'll go with you.]
Elizabeth smiled.
It was lucky to have Felix, her rock who soaked up all her moods and was always there for her.
Elizabeth: [Get the school stuff sorted. We're leaving tomorrow night.]
Felix: [So soon?]
Elizabeth: [Yes.]
The next morning, she checked out of the hospital early.
Rose and Declan showed up, scolding her, "You're not fully recovered yet. Why are you leaving the hospital?"
"Elizabeth, don't be so stubborn!"
She pulled them into the car.
On the way, she told them, "Mom, Dad, I'll cook this afternoon. Let's invite Grandpa and Grandma for a meal!"
Rose and Declan exchanged a look and went quiet, wondering what she was up to.
