“I’m going to see Celia. She was seriously injured while protecting me. If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t be able to stand
here safely.”
James and Jack who had been silent all the time, exchanged glances and then shook their heads with a sigh.
They didn’t like Elizabeth either since Elizabeth didn’t come from a wealthy or powerful family. However, their father loved Elizabeth dearly, so they had to show some respect to her for the sake of their father.
Grandpa Tomas kept worrying about Elizabeth. He turned around to ask the nurse beside him, “How is the patient?”
“No worries, sir. With Dr. Edwards, everything will be fine.”
Knowing Nelson would take care of Elizabeth, Grandpa Tomas felt at ease a great deal. Nelson was a well–known surgical expert in Los Angeles who was proficient in treatment. Anyone seeking his treatment should make an appointment ten days in advance.
After a while, Nelson came out of the emergency room. He saw that the elders of the Yorks, so he took off his mask and went up to greet them, “Grandpa Tomas, Uncle James, and Uncle Jack”
“How is Elizabeth? Is she alright?” Grandpa Tomas was eager to know since he had been waiting to see Elizabeth for a long time.
Grandpa Tomas snorted coldly, making it clear that he was not willing to see Celia.
“I won’t go. I’ll just wait here for Liz to come out. Leave me alone and go as you “Dad,” Jack wanted to persuade him, but he held back his words at the sight of his father’s gloomy face. He could only look at James for help.
“Father,” James had to say to his father himself about this matter, “Just go and see Celia. It won’t take you a long time. Anyway, Celia was hurt because of Sam. I know you have always loved Sam the most. Well, I think we should express our gratitude to Celia in that she saved Sam from this fatal accident.”
“Yeah, that’s right. Dad, you..”
Grandpa Tomas glared at his two sons and bellowed, “Don’t nag me here. I said I won’t go. Can’t you hear me? I’ll wait for Liz to come out.”
“Dad, don’t be mad. It does you no good. I’ll let Jack stay here with you. And I’ll go to see Celia and come back soon.” Seeing his father lose his temper, James softened his attitude.
Grandpa Tomas’s expression softened, yet he still said in a tough tone, “Both of you get away from me. You make me annoyed.”
Jack and James were fine with this since they were not willing to stay here and wait for Liz.
“Alright, dad. We’ll catch up to you later.”

Grandpa Tomas didn’t bother to pay any attention to them and kept staring at the emergency room.
As soon as Jack and James walked away, Elizabeth was pushed out of the emergency room by the nurse, Seeing this, Grandpa Tomas stepped forward eagerly. Elizabeth was on an IV in her hand, and she was already asleep.
“How i
is she? Why doesn’t she wake up?” Grandpa Tomas felt distressed at the sight of her pale face.
He blamed himself for letting Liz hurt.
“Sir, no worries. The soothing effect of our medicine has put the patient to sleep. She should rest well tonight.”
Hearing this, Grandpa Tomas was finally at ease. Elizabeth was sent to the general ward to rest.
At night, Elizabeth woke up due to the torment of a headache.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Grandpa Tomas dozing off beside the bed. Elizabeth’s heart did a flip and mixed feelings welled up within her.
It was Grandpa Tomas who loved her deeply all the time since she was a child. He had made her who she was today, and she couldn’t be more grateful for his rearing.
It was really unfilial for her to make him worry about her at this age.
“Grandpa!” Elizabeth yelled in a low voice, with tears of excitement in her eyes.
“Oh, my girl. You’re awake!” Grandpa Tomas was a light sleeper and woke up immediately when he heard her voice. Seeing Elizabeth waking up, the wrinkles around his eyes deepened as he smiled. He leaned forward with a smile and asked, “Are you good? Do you want something to eat?”
Elizabeth was still light in the head and didn’t dare to move at the moment. “I’m not hungry yet. Grandpa, it’s so late. Why don’t you go back to rest? I’m fine.”
“Oh, come on. Stop talking nonsense.”
“Grandpa, I’m fine, really. What about going through the procedure of discharging myself from the hospital now? Elizabeth made an attempt to get off the bed.
“Hey, you, my girl! When did you become so disobedient? You still have gauze wrapped around your head.” Grandpa Tomas held her down from getting up. Although he blamed her, he couldn’t suppress his smile and spoke, “But Liz, I must say I’m rather happy.”
Elizabeth was confused about his words.
She wondered what he was happy for since she just experienced a car accident.
Though she couldn’t figure out why he was happy, she still found him a lovely person.
