Chapter 881
Elizabeth looked at him and suddenly said, "Let's go see Esme."
Alexander immediately looked at Elizabeth.
Noticing the disbelief in Alexander's eyes, Elizabeth calmly said, "See Esme."
Alexander pursed his lips and refused, "I don't want to."
He thought about how Esme had toyed with him over the past three years, and he felt even more disgusted!
Elizabeth said, "Then I'll go by myself?"
Alexander was displeased, "Do you really have to see her?"
Why did Elizabeth suddenly want to see Esme?
Was it just because of Leon and Ellen?
"Just a quick visit," Elizabeth explained.
"Not in a hurry to go home?"
Elizabeth could tell that Alexander was extremely reluctant to bring up Esme.
Elizabeth pouted, not wanting to argue with him anymore.
She started to walk out on her own, and Alexander immediately stepped forward and grabbed her arm.
Elizabeth looked at him.
She could clearly see the helplessness and frustration in Alexander's eyes.
But he had no choice.
He nodded.
Fine, he would go with her.
"After seeing Esme, let's go visit your grandmother," Elizabeth said.
She suddenly remembered that she hadn't given Lily her acupuncture treatment in the past two days and felt a bit uneasy.
"Okay," Alexander responded, opening the passenger door and gesturing for Elizabeth to get in.
"Isn't it inappropriate?" Elizabeth was about to get into the back seat.
Alexander pulled her back, looking even more frustrated, "And sitting in the back is appropriate? Makes me look like a chauffeur."
"Isn't it?" Elizabeth tilted her head, somewhat provocatively.
Alexander laughed.
Could he dare say no?
But being a chauffeur was fine.
Right now, sitting in the back wasn't fine.
She should sit in the front passenger seat.
Alexander pulled Elizabeth back, and after seeing her sit in the front passenger seat, he walked around the front of the car and got in.
Elizabeth didn't like sitting in his front passenger seat at all.
Lisbun Psychiatric Hospital was located in the suburbs, a long way from the city center.
Elizabeth didn't even know why she insisted on coming all this way to see Esme.
The psychiatric hospital's environment was quite good, with a large area and a six-story building. The facility had everything, but the people there looked quite deranged.
Alexander had called ahead to announce their visit, and the director came out early to greet them. When she saw the two of them, she smiled warmly, "Mr. Tudor, Ms. Percy."
The director was a woman, not very old, with short hair, and she looked very capable and straightforward.
Alexander asked, "How is Esme doing?"
"Not very well. She never sleeps through the night. She's been throwing things and banging on doors. Just now, she was emotionally unstable, and we had no choice but to..."
Elizabeth sensed something bad from the director's hesitation.
Sure enough, when they reached the fifth floor and came to Esme's room, they saw Esme inside.
She was wearing a hospital gown and was tied to the bed.
Elizabeth frowned; she didn't know if Esme was truly insane.
But she knew that if Esme wasn't insane, then at this moment, being tied to the bed, Esme must be in utter despair!
The door to the room opened, and Elizabeth walked in, only to find there were no footsteps behind her.
Alexander had stopped at the door and didn't come in.
Elizabeth didn't call him in.
Instead, she followed the director into the room.
Esme was awake, her eyes swollen and tears still on her face. Her mouth was even covered, so she couldn't even scream.
But the moment she saw Elizabeth, it was as if her brain had been triggered, her eyes bulging as if she wanted to kill Elizabeth.
