Chapter 488 You Are My Brother
Hearing her words, the members of the Cross Family were all stunned.
They all knew very well that if that nurse was really Daisy, she would say something to Elodie.
Elodie was so weak that any stimulation could be fatal.
If Daisy twisted the truth and told Elodie the real story, it would definitely trigger her condition.
Thinking of this possibility, Philip's face darkened, and he glared at the bodyguards opposite him, reprimanding, "I told you to protect Elodie, and this is how you protect her?"
The bodyguards immediately lowered their heads, "Sorry, Mr. Cross, that nurse used to be in charge of Elodie's medication, and we didn't notice anything unusual."
At this moment, the nurse in charge of Daisy's ward hurriedly ran to Philip.
She cried and said, "Sorry, Mr. Cross, I was locked in the bathroom just now, and no one came to open the door for a long time."
Sophia glanced at the nurse, black-framed glasses, pink nurse uniform, and a figure somewhat similar to Daisy.
If she wore a mask, it would be really hard to tell them apart.
Sophia immediately said, "Mr. Cross, the priority now is to find Daisy. If she can disguise herself as a nurse and sneak into Elodie's ward, she can disguise herself as someone else and who knows what other harm she might do."
Philip immediately looked at the bodyguards and said, "Search the whole city, find Daisy, and bring her back to me."
He was so angry that he bit his molars.
He had been so good to Daisy all these years, always siding with her whenever Alexander argued with her.
He never expected Daisy to be so malicious.
Meanwhile, inside the room where Alexander was being resuscitated, a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
A nurse wiped it off for him.
He asked coldly, "Report the patient's data."
Nurse: "Heart rate 38, blood pressure 50."
Hearing this data, Alexander broke out in a cold sweat.
He knew that if the data continued to drop, it would be very dangerous.
Alexander immediately switched to another resuscitation method.
At this moment, a nurse came in to report, "Mr. Cross, Ms. Sinclair wants to say a few words to you."
She put the phone to Alexander's ear.
Sophia's anxious voice immediately came through the phone.
"Alexander, it's Daisy who has been talking nonsense to Elodie. She must have exaggerated and revealed Elodie's background, which is why Elodie was so shocked. I think Elodie needs to know the truth now, maybe it can save her."
Hearing this, Alexander's eyes darkened fiercely.
He gritted his teeth and cursed, "Daisy, just you wait!"
He hung up the phone and instructed the other doctors to continue the resuscitation.
He leaned close to Elodie's ear and softly called, "Elodie, I'm your brother. No matter what you hear, don't believe it. I just want to tell you that we all love you. The reason we didn't tell you the truth was that we were afraid you couldn't handle such a big shock.
Elodie, can you hear me? If you can, please move your finger, okay?"
A few seconds later, the nurse suddenly shouted, "Mr. Cross, the patient's blood pressure and heart rate are rising, this method is working."
Alexander looked at Elodie's pale face and said, "Elodie, listen to me, live well. I lost you back then, and if you die like this, I will regret it for the rest of my life. I think you don't want to see me sad.
Didn't you want to help me and Sophia get back together? Without you, I can't win her back.
Can you hear me? Can you open your eyes and look at me?"
The more Alexander spoke, the more tears filled his eyes.
In the end, the tears flowed into his mask.
The nurse immediately took a towel to wipe his tears and then reported, "Mr. Cross, the patient's blood pressure has risen to 60, and her heart rate is 55. She has come back to life."
Hearing this, Alexander tightly held Elodie's hand, his voice hoarse, "Elodie, I know you can hear me. Don't worry, take your time to recover. With me here, nothing will happen to you."
He placed Elodie's hand on his lips and kissed it through the mask.
His tears fell one by one on the back of Elodie's hand.
Feeling the warmth and hearing his words, many childhood memories resurfaced in Elodie's mind.
She remembered chasing after Alexander with bare feet, crying and begging him not to go to school and to play with her instead.
She remembered going with Gilbert to pick Alexander up from school.
Alexander lifted her above his head.
She remembered falling into an ice hole to save a kitten, and Alexander jumping in without hesitation to save her.
Alexander saved her, but his arm was cut by an ice blade, leaving a big wound.
With Alexander's calls, Elodie's consciousness gradually returned.
She slowly opened her eyes, and tears flowed down her cheeks.
Through the oxygen mask, she weakly called out, "Alex."
Her voice was very soft, but Alexander still heard it.
He immediately raised his head, his eyes meeting Elodie's tired ones.
"Elodie."
Alexander called out urgently.
At that moment, his tears flowed even more.
Alexander's voice choked, "I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well. I lost you back then, and now I almost caused your death. I beg you not to have any more accidents, or I will never forgive myself."
Elodie slowly raised her small hand and gently brushed Alexander's chin.
She weakly asked, "Are you really my brother?"
Alexander nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I am your brother. We did a paternity test. Back then, I lost you in the park. We searched for many years and were deceived into recognizing the fake Daisy. But don't worry, we have driven her out, and all those who hurt you have been caught.
When you get better, we will take you home."
Hearing these words, Elodie's tears flowed even more.
She wasn't the daughter of a gambler, and her parents didn't sell her for money.
They had been looking for her all these years.
All these years, the emotions that had been pent up in Elodie's heart finally burst out.
Elodie cried and said, "So I wasn't an unwanted child. I have parents who love me, right?"
Hearing Elodie's words, Alexander's throat felt blocked.
He knew that Elodie had been deeply hurt when she found out she was sold to Cameron as a gambling debt.
Although Elodie never said it, this matter had always been like a thorn in her heart.
Alexander tenderly wiped her tears.
He softly comforted her, "Yes, you have a grandfather who loves you very much, parents who love you, and a dashing brother. They all miss you and are waiting for you to come home and reunite with them.
Oh, and you have a sister-in-law I haven't won over yet. It was her who reminded me to use this method to wake you up.
Elodie, I can't do without you. I need your help to win Sophia back. Can you help me?"
Hearing these words, Elodie, though tearful, slightly curved her lips.
She weakly said, "Alex, I will definitely make Sophia my sister-in-law."
Alexander smiled and brushed her hair, "Good, don't think about anything else. You need to rest now. When you get better, we will go home."
Under Alexander's comfort, Elodie fell asleep.
The resuscitation was declared successful at that moment.
When Alexander came out of the resuscitation room, he tiredly said, "Elodie is fine now."
Hearing this, everyone was moved to tears.
Sophia walked to Alexander's side, looking at his tired face and red eyes.
She softly called, "Alexander, are you okay?"
Alexander hugged Sophia tightly, resting his head on her shoulder, his voice hoarse from exhaustion.
"Sophie, let's get back together."
