-Yuri was struggling to give a proper response to the way
Christopher rushed into confessing his feelings to her.
“Thank you.” She received the flowers with a smile and breathed in the fragrance. “I like the flowers.”
Instead of giving him a direct answer, she rejected his confession with a subtle approach. After all, she
wasn’t going to embarrass him in public, as the confession was being streamed live.
However, he took her consideration as an implication that she liked the flowers and him, so he asked
without a second thought, “What about me?”
“You are a good man. I like you too, but—”
“Blergh—”
“Alexander!”
Yuri’s words were interrupted by Alexander when he spat out blood all of a sudden and dropped to his
knees.
Elise allowed him to lean on her as she took his pulse. Then, she raised her head to look at Danny and
the other brothers with a solemn expression. “Hurry up! Help your brother to his room!”
As the brothers worked together to help Alexander back to his room, the others followed behind to join
them in Alexander’s room.
After Madeline kneeled beside the bed, she took Alexander’s hand in hers as the tears streamed out of
her eyes. “Alex, you have to be strong. You have to be fine! I need you to stay with me. Don’t leave
me!”
“Give us some space.” Elise quickly went back to her room for her silver needles. “I’ll perform some
acupuncture on him.”
Remembering that Danny told her about Elise saving Austin and Trevor’s lives, Madeline didn’t
interrupt Elise and stepped aside this time. Even though the tears were threatening to fall from her
eyes, she muffled her sobs with her hand.
Exhausted, Elise leaned on the bedside as she finished the last step after she had been constantly
using acupuncture on Alexander for half an hour.
“Elise!” Danny helped her to her feet. “Can you hold on? Someone shall cook the chicken consommé
for her!”
“Yes, Young Master! I’ll do it right now.”
Elise took a moment to collect herself before she replied weakly, “The blood flow at specific areas of his
body are now temporarily under control, but we need to find the cure as soon as possible. F-Find Jamie
and Joseph. Ask them—”
Her words were interrupted by a ringtone.
As the phone rang, a bad feeling rose within her out of nowhere. After struggling to take her phone out,
her heart sank when she saw the caller ID stating “Yvonne”.
“Hello?” Elise’s stomach churned as she received the call.
On the other side, Yvonne was panicking as she pleaded, “Elise! Where are you? Trevor is dying! He
hasn’t stopped coughing out blood! Please come here now!”
Elise held her breath at first, then exhaled to force herself to calm down. “I’ll be there as soon as
possible.”
Ending the call, she grabbed Danny’s hand as leverage to raise herself to her feet. “Take care of
Alexander. I’ll be back soon!”
She stumbled out of the room once she finished her words.
“You’re not going alone in this state!” Danny followed after her.
Soon, both of them arrived at the hospital.
However, Trevor was in a more serious condition. Apart from the old injury sustained in the car crash,
he was infected with the same virus as Alexander.
Even after Elise finished the last step of her treatment, Trevor, who had blood stains on the corner of
his lips, wasn’t showing any response. Even though the electrocardiogram that monitored his heart
activity was showing a hint of life, its activity was slowing down as the pattern became a horizontal line.
She was aware of his disappearing pulse, but she couldn’t do anything to redeem the situation.
“Elise, you have to save him! You can’t let him die!” Yvonne croaked.
When Yvonne shook her with force, Elise felt fuzzy and couldn’t stand still. The two were brought to the
ground by the force.
Elise scowled at her state as she began to wish everything that had happened so far was a dream. It
was as if once she found the breaking point, she could wake up from the dream.
However, she couldn’t pretend Trevor wasn’t dying before her eyes when the alarm from the
electrocardiograph machine was ringing in her ears.
After all, she couldn’t even save any one of those whom she considered important.
On top of being weak, Elise could not say anything since her heart ached. It felt like there were millions
of knives slicing her open.
The sadness was spreading over the room. Yvonne was kneeling with her head hanging low in grief.
Her tears kept falling even though she had lost her voice from crying.
Elise found herself crying too, and the tears were falling from her cheeks.
Their emotions had greatly affected Danny as he turned his back, trying to not look at them.
At that moment, the sound of footsteps echoed from the exit and came to a stop beside her.
Elise steered her attention to the source when a hand holding a syringe came into her sight. Raising
her head, she saw Elijah and scowled immediately.
As if he could read her mind, he stretched his hand out further. “You can take this without any
conditions. I’m giving it to you for free so you can save your brother’s life.”
Elijah was well aware that Elise didn’t want to be in debt to him, but he didn’t know that she would save
Trevor’s life at all cost.
She was only thinking about one thing at the moment. How can he show up on time?
However, Trevor’s life was at stake, so she didn’t have enough time to learn the effect of the medicine.
Hesitating for a few seconds, she snatched the syringe and injected the contents into her left arm.
“Elise! Don’t—” Danny tried, but he couldn’t stop her in time.
Fortunately, she didn’t suffer from any abnormal symptoms after ten minutes, so she injected the cure
for Trevor.
Another ten minutes had passed before Trevor’s heart was beating again and his vital signs fell again
into the normal range. At that, Elise let out a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Elijah’s lackeys escorted a man whose face was covered by a hood into the room.
Elijah took off the hood and revealed Claude’s face.
Seeing the light of day, Claude blinked a few times to adjust to the light in the room. However, he
changed his mind when he saw Elise. “Hey! I’m taking your order, not hers! Are you expecting me to
operate on her family?”
“The money’s already in your account. Either do the operation or die. A friendly reminder, though—I
won’t have mercy on you,” Elijah said with a lopsided smile.
Claude took a look at Elise before turning back to Elijah and finally compromising. He didn’t have a
second choice as Elijah’s offer was too worthy to give up on.
At last, Trevor had woken up not long after he was pushed out of the operating room.
Outside his room, Elise stopped Elijah and asked straight to the point, “Do you still have the medicine?
Name your price.”
At her request, a meaningful smile spread on his face. “Elise, I don’t need your money.”
“Then, we count it as me owing you a favor. You can ask for my help in the future at any time.” Elise
was losing her patience at that point. “Either that, or you name your condition. I’ll do it as long as it isn’t
beyond my abilities.”
Taking a deep breath, Elijah stated airily with backed shoulders and raised chin, “I want you to divorce
Alexander and marry me.”
She expected him to ask for it, but she wasn’t going to accept it easily. “I can’t. I’ll never marry a person
I don’t love,” she answered him quickly with a determined look, to which Elijah said impatiently, “Then,
perhaps you don’t love Alexander as much as you think.”
After pondering for a moment, she spoke calmly at last. “I will follow him to the grave.”
