“Liz, you’re really…”
Chapter 97
Henry laughed. The aggrieving expression on his face disappeared, and he said with a faint smile, “Why are you always so straight with your words? You make people feel embarrassed. That’s rude.”
“I didn’t embarrass anyone. You embarrass yourself with what
Elizabeth could not be bothered to argue with him anymore..
you did.”
She stood in front of Dr. Zayn and asked. “Wasn’t Grandpa’s condition already stable?”
Dr. Zayn had no intention of hiding anything. “Maybe Mr. Henry had said something that crossed the line. I’ve already reminded you before that with Mr. Hayes’s current physical condition, he couldn’t take drastic emotional changes. Please obey him. Otherwise, next time…”
Dr. Zayn did not finish his sentence.
He glanced at Henry and smiled mockingly before leaving the ward to deal with other matters.
Elizabeth didn’t want to talk to Henry.
She was going to look for Peter to discuss how to take care of Mr. Hayes.
Elizabeth had just walked to the door of the ward when Henry suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm. “You’re blaming. me too, right?”
“Do you think I should thank you for this?”
Elizabeth harrumphed. She was not in a hurry to break free from his hand. Instead, she looked straight into his eyes and asked, “Did you do it on purpose?”
“No.” Although Henry said that, his grip on Elizabeth’s arm had already loosened.
Elizabeth glanced at his arm and nodded. “Then so it is.”
There was no need to argue about such matters. When Grandpa woke up, the truth would be revealed. Moreover, the more they argued, the more she interacted with him. She felt sick.
Not long after Elizabeth left the ward, she saw Peter coming over with a pile of documents.
“Peter.” Elizabeth stopped him. “Is it convenient to transfer Grandpa to a private hospital now?”
“I’m afraid not.” Peter shook his head. “Dr. Zayn said that it’s not a good time to move.”
Elizabeth pondered for a moment and said with a frown, “Then we’ll have to get a few more bodyguards. Although it’s a VIP ward, it’s not good to have people coming and going on this floor.”
Peter looked at Elizabeth in admiration. “I’ve already spoken to the Public Relations Department. Even if the news gets out, there’s a way to deal with it.
“Mrs. Hayes, you must be tired after working all day. Why don’t you go back and rest? I’ll be in the room with Mr. Hayes tonight.”
“No need.” Elizabeth waved his hand. “It just so happens that I don’t have any patients tomorrow morning. I’ll stay here. tonight.”
“Andrew can’t make it back in time for his business trip. As his wife, I’ll be here for him.”
Peter smiled sincerely. His eyes curved. “You are so kind.”
With such a good wife, Mr. Andrew could finally relax a little.
The two of them walked into the ward harmoniously.
Henry came up to them. “You guys can go back. I’ll take care of Grandpa here tonight. Take it as atonement for my previous mistakes.
“Mr. Henry, you don’t have to do this.”
Peter looked at Henry with a smile. But his words stabbed Henry like a knife. “Mr. Hayes will probably be angry again if he sees you when he opens his eyes. Why do you have to do this?”
“L..” Henry looked hurt. His voice was much hoarser. “I know it’s all my fault, but I hope you can give me a chance to make it up.
“All right, then.”
Elizabeth secretly tugged at Peter’s clothes. “Dr. Zayn will stay here tonight, so you don’t have to worry.
“And there will be bodyguards coming over later. You don’t have to worry about the reporters either.

The accompanying bed is very comfortable. Have a good rest.”
Then she didn’t give Henry a chance to say anything and pulled Peter out.
“Mrs. Hayes, this…”
Peter looked at Elizabeth in confusion. “I’m afraid Mr. Hayes will really be unhappy when he wakes up and sees Mr. Henry.”
“He’s a very stubborn person. The more you don’t let him do something, the more he insists on doing it.
“It might cause a commotion in the ward because of this. It won’t be good if it disturbs Grandpa.”
Elizabeth smiled and stared at the door of the ward from afar. “Anyway, Dr. Zayn will stay in the ward at night. There are also nurses and bodyguards. Henry will definitely not be the first person Grandpa sees when he wakes up.”
Peter looked deeply at Elizabeth and asked tentatively, “Mrs. Hayes, do you know why Mr. Hayes is angry?”
“It must be the news of the conflict between Andrew and Henry,” Elizabeth said without hiding anything. “It’s just a rumor. You don’t have to take it seriously.
“No matter what happened in the past, I’m married to Andrew now. I know my responsibilities and obligations.”
Peter opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say. After a while, he shook his head with a smile. “I’m old and my mind is muddled. Mrs. Hayes, I’m sorry”
“It’s nothing.” Elizabeth waved his hand magnanimously. “Then I’ll go back. I’ll continue to contact Andrew. He’ll think of a way to rush back.”
“Okay, be careful on the road.”
The next day, Elizabeth had just walked into the ward when Henry walked to her again.
His clothes were wrinkled and there were dark shadows under his eyes. He looked much more haggard. The only thing that did not change was his affectionate expression. “You’re here.”
The bodyguards were outside, and the nurse and Dr. Zayn went to get their things.
Now that it was just the two of them, Elizabeth could not ignore him. She could only say, “You can go back and rest.”
“No need.” Henry smiled bitterly and shook his head. He turned to look at Mr. Hayes, who was still lying on the bed. “Since it’s my fault, I should stay here with Grandpa until he wakes up.”
“Oh, good luck.” Elizabeth really didn’t want to be sarcastic.
However, she also did not understand why Henry could always put himself in a bitter role.
It was just a night’s sleep on the accompanying bed. Why did he have to put on such a scene?
Of course, Henry saw the sarcasm in Elizabeth’s eyes.
However, not only did he not feel angry, he was even more interested in Elizabeth.
The little white flower grew into a rose, and the thorns on the rose turned into soft nails. How interesting was this? Would the flower wither if these soft nails were removed one by one?
He lowered his eyes and hid the eagerness in them. “Are you still mad with me?” he asked bitterly.
“No.” Elizabeth chuckled and looked at Henry’s face. After a while, she said, “You’ve changed a lot.”
“Is that so?” Henry looked up and stared at Elizabeth affectionately. “You haven’t changed much. You’re still as beautiful as
ever.
“No, you’re more mature and sensible than you used to be. You’ve grown up. You’re no longer the little girl who would run all over the campus for me.
“Liz, I so regret not keeping you by my side back then. Now, I’ve completely lost my chance.”
Elizabeth was a little disgusted by him and frowned. How could he not know what had happened back then? Why was he pretending to be so affectionate?
Clap, clap, clap. The sound of clapping suddenly came from behind. A chill ran down Elizabeth’s spine. She felt cold as hell.
“Brilliant.” Andrew suppressed his anger and said, “Having a reunion in front of Grandpa. You guys are amazing.”
