Chapter 704 Be Polite to My Woman
When Eliza woke up again, she was already lying in the hospital.
The familiar smell of disinfectant filled her nose.
Eliza opened her eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling.
Someone was quarreling beside her.
"I don't know if my brother is dead or alive, but she is lying in the hospital with peace of mind. Is she unconscious? Is she putting on a show? She has made my brother like this. Is she guilty?"
"Chester, is there something wrong with your brain? The police said that it was Layman's deliberate revenge. What does it have to do with Eliza? She is also a victim!"
"What kind of victim is she? If my brother dies, all the property will be hers. Maybe she is secretly enjoying it!"
"She is the wife of Mr. Valentine. She is a family member of the victim and she has suffered great harm in this matter!"
"I'm the real family member of the victim. I have the same blood as Beau."
"If you have time to mess around here, why don't you go and help with the rescue?"
"I don't want to talk nonsense with you. Call Eliza out!"
"Don't you understand human language? Eliza was too agitated and fainted. She hasn't woken up yet!"
"Wasn't it all her fault? If it weren't for her revenge, how could Beau have provoked a desperate disciple like Layman? If it weren't for her, Beau wouldn't have gone alone to find her for the explanation. How could there be an accident?"
"You..."
"Also, Beau's reputation is now in a mess. Everyone is saying that he cheated on his marriage. Only Eliza has received sympathy and her Instagram has gained hundreds of thousands of followers. How can this matter have nothing to do with Eliza?!"
This time, Graciana was completely annoyed. Without trying to explain it to him, she directly called the person next to her.
"Guard, throw this lunatic out so as not to make a scene in the hospital and affect other patients!"
"Stop! I'll see who dares to touch me!"
There was a loud noise in the corridor. Someone must have done it.
Then came Graciana's cry.
With a click, the door of the ward was opened.
The pale-faced Eliza appeared at the door of the ward and was looking blankly at Chester.
"Who is Layman?" Eliza suddenly asked.
Graciana was originally crying out in pain, but when she saw Eliza, she immediately became nervous. She shook off Chester's hand and rushed to Eliza's side.
"Eliza, you're awake. Are you alright?"
Eliza ignored her and looked at Chester.
"Who is Layman? You said that Beau provoked him for me. What's going on?"
Chester was wearing a black suit today and he looked very gloomy. He gave Eliza a sinister glance and then talked mockingly.
"Why are you pretending to be innocent?"
Eliza ignored his sarcasm and turned to look at Graciana. "Tell me."
Graciana was stunned and did not know what to say.
Eliza frowned when she saw that they didn't want to say anything, so she walked out.
Seeing this, Graciana quickly reached out to hold her.
"Eliza, where are you going?"
"I'm going to find Noah."
As Beau's assistant and trusted by Beau, he must know who Layman was.
Her heart was heavy. On one hand, it was for the safety of Beau. On the other hand, it was for the sake of Beau's concealment.
Perhaps this was not a lie, but it was definitely a deliberate concealment.
She had never known that Beau would do such a dangerous thing for her, or even risk his life.
When Graciana heard Eliza's words, she quickly caught up. "Eliza, the doctor said that you'd better stay in the hospital and recuperate. You can't leave the hospital now."
"I'm fine."
"Eliza..."
Just when Graciana did not know how to persuade her, a group of people came up to her.
"You don't have to look for Noah. Let me tell you who Layman is."
The person who spoke was Julian. He didn't sit in a wheelchair today. Instead, he walked to Eliza with a calm expression.
Julian handed Eliza a pile of documents.
Eliza took it and looked through it. It was all about Layman and some of the things that Beau had recently done.
While Eliza was flipping through the documents, Julian was facing Chester.
"The search and rescue team is still in search and rescue. Everyone is worried about the safety of Mr. Valentine. Only you are in a hurry to come over and make trouble. Chester, what are you feeling guilty about?"
Chester's heart sank when he saw Julian's sharp gaze.
"Who do you think is guilty?"
"I'm saying you are guilty."
"You..."
"You haven't been aware of what you've done recently as Mr. Valentine's brother. I've told the family master what you've done recently. He'll be back soon. I think you need to give him an explanation."
Chester's eyes widened. "How dare you complain?"
"It's not a complaint, it's just a warning."
Chester's whole body was covered with a low pressure. He looked at Julian with a gloomy look.
But Julian didn't take his fierce eyes seriously.
Although Chester looked the same as Beau, who was also the son of the patriarch, he was far inferior to Beau.
Not to mention that Chester couldn't be compared with Mr. Valentine, he couldn't even be compared with himself.
He slowly approached Chester and lowered his voice to give him one last warning.
"Also, be polite to my woman."
If he offended Graciana again, he didn't mind teaching Chester a lesson.
Chester looked terrible. "I'm your cousin."
"Is that so? Beau is my only cousin."
After that, without looking at Chester, Julian walked over to Graciana and gave her a comforting smile.
Seeing Julian like this, Graciana only felt that her heart was beating very fast.
But at this moment, how could Graciana think of anything else? So she quickly came to her senses and looked at Eliza with concern.
Eliza had almost finished reading all of those documents, and her expression was also frightening.
Graciana was afraid that she would faint again, so she quickly held her.
"Eliza, why don't we go back to the ward first?"
Eliza didn't say anything, while Julian gave Graciana a look.
Graciana understood and helped Eliza back to the ward without saying anything.
Julian brought a lot of bodyguards and asked them to guard the door directly to prevent any outsiders from approaching.
This outsider, of course, also included Chester.
Although Julian was a branch of the Benton family, he had been in the Benton family for many years and had his own connections in the country. He was much more powerful than Chester.
Chester had no way to confront Julian head-on. No matter how unwilling he was, he could only swallow it all by himself.
Chester's gloomy gaze swept across the ward where Eliza was in. In the end, he left.
In the ward.
Graciana asked Julian, "Are your legs recovered?"
Julian shook his head. "They're still recovering. The doctor said it's best if I don't move around too much."
As soon as he finished speaking, the housekeeper appeared with a wheelchair.
Julian sat back in his wheelchair and then looked at Eliza. "Have you finished reading?"
Eliza came back to her senses from reading the documents and looked at Julian. "Beau, he..."
"They're still searching for him, and the chances of survival are very low."
