Chapter 786

Henry was momentarily dazed as he brushed past Elizabeth, lightly touching her arm. Elizabeth stopped in her tracks, watching the nurses and doctors rushing into the emergency room, feeling a pang of sadness. She frowned, her hand slowly moving to her heart. She didn’t know why, but she felt a strange ache. This feeling was very subtle; it wasn’t the gut-wrenching pain of her divorce from Alexander, nor the usual heartache, but rather a mysterious, connection-like pain.

Elizabeth arrived at the emergency office, feeling a bit down. But she still managed a smile and said to Isadora Penrose, who was flipping through some files, “Isadora, I’m here to pick up my grandmother’s medication.”

“It’s in the cabinet inside, go get it,” Isadora pointed inside.

Elizabeth nodded. Suddenly, someone outside called for Isadora, and she said, “Wait a moment, I’ll find it right away!”

“Hurry up, get someone else to find it!” the person outside urged again.

Isadora’s hands moved frantically, and things fell to the ground. Seeing this, Elizabeth said, “What are you looking for? I’ll help you.”

“Okay. Look for Ellen’s previous medical records!” she said.

Elizabeth nodded. “Why not check the computer?”

“From earlier years, the computer doesn’t have those records,” she replied.

Elizabeth didn’t respond, and somehow she had already found Ellen’s medical records. She opened them and was about to hand them to Isadora when she suddenly noticed that Ellen’s blood type was the same as hers, type A. Looking further, she saw that Ellen had given birth to a baby boy in 1994, another baby boy in 1996, and a baby girl in 1997. It must be Esme, born in 1997, just like her.

Elizabeth handed the records to Isadora, who said, “Ellen has had a tough life. You probably don’t know, but there’s a secret about Ellen in our hospital.”

Elizabeth looked at Isadora. Ellen’s secret?

“Many of the senior staff know this secret!” Isadora said mysteriously.

Just then, someone outside called for Isadora again. Isadora quickly grabbed the files and left, saying, “Take your medication and leave when you’re done!”

Elizabeth, quite interested in hearing the news, was left behind. But Isadora was too busy to have a proper conversation with her. Elizabeth took the medication and left the office. She was planning to leave, but seeing Henry and Leon standing at the emergency room door and hearing their conversation, she suddenly didn’t want to go.

“Esme is still at the police station, and your mother is like this! Henry, this family is falling apart!”

Leon, a man in his fifties, was losing his composure for the first time in front of Elizabeth. Leon was usually very gentlemanly; at least over the years, he had no negative news outside. Originally, Leon was very low-key, but in recent years, he had become more flamboyant, all because of Esme. Esme was always causing trouble, and Leon was helpless.

“Dad, I’ll do my best to get Esme out. Mom will be fine too!” Henry hung his head, feeling very ashamed. “Dad, it’s my fault. I didn’t know Mom would be so emotional alone at home.”

Ellen had taken sleeping pills, which Henry hadn’t expected.

“Your mother has been living for Esme all these years. Without Esme and with Nancy gone, wouldn’t she go crazy?” Leon secretly wiped his tears.

Elizabeth’s eyes darkened. Nancy?

“Elizabeth, you haven’t left yet?” Isadora finally finished her work and returned, finding Elizabeth still there.

Elizabeth raised her chin and asked, “What’s the situation inside?”

Isadora frowned, looking very troubled. “Ellen took a lot of pills, really wanted to die.”

“Didn’t they already pump her stomach?”
