Chapter 73
Celia said so to remind Samuel that the reason why Old Mr. York fainted was that Elizabeth was dissolute and made friends with the Frank family in private behind the back of the York family.
If this matter was exposed, Elizabeth would inevitably become the target of public criticism, and there would be no place for her in the York family in the future. Otherwise, James wouldn’t have been so angry that he would have sent her to the police station.
Hearing Celia’s words, Samuel’s eyes darkened.
“I’ll investigate this matter thoroughly. I can’t tolerate this kind of rumors.”
Celia was stunned as if she couldn’t believe that these words came from Samuel’s mouth.
Even now, he was still protecting Elizabeth. Celia couldn’t believe it.
“That’s right…” Celia’s face was pale, and her teeth were chattering. “Rumors can kill, but do you really think.
it’s just a rumor? A slap can’t make a sound.”
“Let’s go. I’ll send you back.”
It was obvious that Samuel didn’t want to talk about this topic. Celia didn’t mention it again, but the anger in her heart couldn’t be
dispelled..
After getting into Samuel’s car, Celia remained silent because the man’s face was terrifyingly gloomy.
She didn’t know when they started to be less intimate with each other, and their relationship became more and more estranged. These days, Celia had been waiting for Samuel’s greetings, but he hadn’t come to visit her. She was still injured. Didn’t he care about
her?
The back of her hand suddenly felt warm. She looked up and met the man’s gentle gaze.
Celia’s heart, which had been riddled with holes, was healed. She leaned her head on the man’s shoulder and affectionately called out his name. ‘Samuel, we haven’t been together for a long time.”
“Samuel, I want to be with you all the time.”
But Celia didn’t dare to say that. Samuel didn’t like women pestering him. He had once said that even lovers should have their own private space.
“Well, when Grandpa gets better, I’ll take you for a walk in the suburbs. Your film should be finished soon.”
“Okay.” Celia perked up. She remembered that the last time they were together was a month ago. “You promised me.”
“Okay.”
Although it was just a simple word, it calmed her down a lot.
The biggest advantage of this man was that he attached great importance to his promises. As long as he promised her, he would definitely keep it.
Then he would definitely fulfill his promise to marry her!
On the other side of the hospital, Elizabeth was taking care of Old Mr. York alone. James and Julian had wanted to replace Elizabeth with themselves, but Old Mr. York wouldn’t let them get close to him.

Chapter 73
“Liz, ask your father to take care of me later. You’ve been with me for a while.” Old Mr. York worried about her.
“It doesn’t matter, Grandpa, I’m not tired.”
“I know you’re filial.” Old Mr. York took her hand. “You must have suffered a lot because of this.”
Elizabeth shook her head. She didn’t feel aggrieved at all when she saw Old Mr. York gradually recover.
After all, she used to call James Dad. Although that man had never agreed, at least Elizabeth respected him very much.
It was too much to slap her indiscriminately.
She wouldn’t let it go so easily. In the past, she had compromised because she loved Samuel too much. Once that man was no longer important, she wouldn’t care about the feelings of others.
“Grandpa, what would you like to eat?”
Old Mr. York shook his head and finally asked, “When did you and Henry start dating?”
“Ah?” Elizabeth licked her lips awkwardly. “He and I… are just friends.”
“I’m the one who brought you together.”
She didn’t expect that she would make friends with Henry in France. If she put it more intimately, she thought they were bosom
friends.
“Liz, what do you think?”
Elizabeth was confused.
“You’ve grown up. I forced Samuel and you to get married. I know that Samuel has always misunderstood you.”
“Grandpa, let bygones be bygones. I’ve long forgotten about it.”
“But Samuel has never forgotten. It was actually my fault. What happened that night four years ago was done by me.”
Elizabeth had already known about it. The reason why she didn’t say it at that time was that she didn’t want
to embarrass her grandfather. She didn’t want Samuel to fall out with him.
At that time, Samuel was young and energetic, and Elizabeth knew the seriousness of the matter.
It was Old Mr. York’s order to drug Samuel that night.
Speaking of which, Grandpa was doing this for their own good. At that time, Elizabeth loved Samuel very much.
“It doesn’t matter, Grandpa. It’s all in the past.”
Old Mr. York fell into a deep sense of self–blame. “Alas, I thought I was smart. I didn’t expect that Samuel would hate such means and blame you so much.”
At the thought of that time, Elizabeth’s heart was a mess, but her expression did not change at all. “It’s not your fault. I know you love me the most.”
