Chapter 790
When Elizabeth came out of the emergency room, Leon was already exhausted and somewhat drowsy. Elizabeth checked the time and realized it was already four in the morning. She had been in the operating room for nearly five hours. Henry looked very tired, but when he saw her come out, he immediately stood up. During those long five hours, he had imagined many possible outcomes. Even if Elizabeth said the rescue had failed, he wouldn’t have said anything. Because after five hours, he knew Elizabeth had done her best. If anyone was to blame, it was himself for not keeping an eye on Ellen.
Elizabeth was silent, and Henry was silent too. The two looked at each other, and Henry lowered his head. Perhaps he already knew the result. A tear suddenly fell from the corner of Henry’s eye, hitting the ground with an audible sound. Leon also fell off his chair and was about to shout. Elizabeth pursed her lips and calmly said, “It’s okay now.” As she spoke, Ellen was wheeled out of the emergency room. Henry’s expression froze for a moment, then turned into wild joy, “You mean my mom is okay?” Elizabeth nodded, “Yeah, she is okay.” Leon was also in disbelief.
“If I wanted to give up, I would have done so long ago. I wouldn’t have tried to save her for five hours,” Elizabeth glanced at the two of them. She could see that these two men from the Russell family were truly at their wits’ end, feeling helpless. Esme in prison, Ellen’s suicide attempt.
Elizabeth said to Henry, “From now on, you need to pay more attention to your mom’s mental and physical health. Her will to live is very weak, and she might attempt suicide again. It would be best if someone could stay with her and take her out for some fresh air. Also…” Elizabeth looked at the two of them. Henry was puzzled. “The reason we were able to save her this time is actually because of someone,” Elizabeth said calmly, hands in her pockets. The two waited for Elizabeth to continue.
Elizabeth asked lightly, “Who is Nancy?” Henry’s face suddenly turned cold. Elizabeth said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop on your conversation. I just overheard it. The reason your mom could be saved today is all because of Nancy. So, if possible, I hope you can have Nancy stay by her side. She will be much better.” Henry’s expression was heavy. No one knew where Nancy was now. How could they get Nancy to stay with Ellen?
“Understood, thank you, Dr. Percy,” Henry nodded, willing to address her as Dr. Percy. Elizabeth shook her head. Little did they know, as soon as she took a step, her legs gave out, and she almost collapsed. She was truly exhausted. She had worked all day at the research institute and had just engaged in what felt like a race against death.
