Halston closed his eyes, clenching his fists as he bit out, “Have I made myself clear now? I’m going to Flossie!” “Oh, you want to see Miss Ellsworth.
What a surprise! I’m sure you have different feelings for her.
Well, you should have told me earlier…
She’s staying in the same hospital as you.” Elijah tried to emphasize how special Flossie was to Halston, and yelped when Halston whacked him.
“You’re losing your mind.
Don’t you have enough on your plate? I don’t mind giving you more work!” Halston shot Elijah a cold glare.
“It’s alright, I have enough work.
I’ll take you to her now.” Elijah parked the car and opened the door for Halston before they walked into the hospital.
Flossie had indeed sprained her waist, and was quickly rushed to the orthopedics department, which happened to be on the same floor where Halston was warded.
After ages of wandering around, Halston was right back where he started.
At that moment, a lot of Flossie’s relatives and friends had gathered in the ward, including Leia and Justin.
All of them rushed there when they heard the news.
Hence, Halston could not get close to Flossie.
He wasn’t thick- skinned enough to approach her under such circumstances.
When a nurse came out of the ward, Halston gave Elijah a meaningful look, and Elijah immediately understood.
Elijah went up to the nurse and pulled her to a corner.
“Miss, I would like to ask you something.
How is the patient in that ward?” The nurse looked at them cautiously.
“Who are you two? Are you her family? If you’re not, I can’t tell you anything because our patients’ information is strictly confidential.” “Yes, we’re her family.
Mr.
Guajardo here is the patient’s husband,” Elijah said confidently.
“Husband?” The nurse scrutinized Halston in disbelief.
“Why didn’t you go in if you were her husband? You’re hiding here in the dark like a creep.” “why are you so stubborn? Just answer our question.
You…” Halston massaged his temples and sighed exasperatedly, then pulled Elijah aside before he got into a fight with the nurse.
After that, he said to the nurse seriously, “Yes, I’m her husband but we got into a fight and I was too cowardly to go see her.
But I’m very worried about her, so…
Can you tell me how she is?” “Umm…
sure.” The nurse gave in because of Halston’s handsome face.
“The patient is out of danger now, but her waist is seriously hurt.
She needs to rest for two to four weeks, and she’ll be fine if she recovers well.
If not…” “If not?” Halston asked urgently.
“She may end up paralyzed for the rest of her life,” the nurse said hesitantly, and upon seeing Halston’s terrifying expression, quickly fled.
“Paralyzed forever? That’s horrible!” Elijah exclaimed in horror after the initial shock wore off.
He looked at Halston and said carefully, “Don’t worry, Mr.
Guajardo.
The medical staff always exaggerate and try to create worst-case scenarios.
Miss Ellsworth is strong and healthy, so I’m sure she’ll recover soon.” Halston was frozen to the spot for a long time, and after a while, he swallowed and said calmly, “Let’s go.” “where are you going now?” Elijah glanced at Flossie’s crowded ward.
“I don’t think we should go in since it’s so crowded.” “Tm feeling a little dizzy, so IT want to go back and lie down.” Halston stumbled a bit, looking crestfallen.
He had suffered a great blow, but he didn’t know if it was from his condition or Flossie’s.
“Where is he? How can he go missing?” When Francine arrived at the ward and found that Halston was missing, she condemned the medical stuff and made a scene.
Right after that, Halston and Elijah soon walked in, and she sighed in relief.
She then asked angrily, ” Where did you go? You’re going to be the death of me!”
Halston scoffed.
“I’m not a baby.
I’ll be fine.” “You…! You’ve only recovered a little, but you’re acting to smug.
Why can’t you see sense?” Francine wiped away her tears helplessly.
Elijah chimed in, “Madam Guajardo, blame me.
Don’t blame Mr.
Guajardo…” “For what?” Francine looked at Elijah in confusion.
“I didn’t investigate the situation well enough.
Mr. Guajardo wanted to see Miss Ellsworth but she’s actually here on the same floor as him…
He went out for nothing,” Elijah admitted sincerely.
His confession earned him a cold glare from Halston.
“Don’t make me send you to North Zambawi for that mining project.” Halston’s threat made Elijah bow his head.
“Mr.
Guajardo, please forgive me.” “Okay, my head hurts.
Just leave me alone.” Halston changed out of his casual clothes and flopped back onto the hospital bed unconcernedly.
He thought he could move on, but his mind was full of his memories with Flossie…
