Remy’s bodyguards were also surprised to see Elisa. They did not expect to see the daughter of the Stone family here while Remy came for diarrhea.
“What are you doing here, Ms. Stone?” a bodyguard blurted out.
Elisa responded, “I’m keeping my cousin company while she’s getting an infusion. She got hurt. Is Mr. Johnson’s stomach uncomfortable?”
The bodyguard hummed and did not say much.
“Has he seen a doctor?”
“Yes. He was also prescribed medicine. He needs to get an IV infusion.”
Elisa said in concern, “Is it that serious?”
The bodyguard was silent.
Elisa knew they were reluctant to let her know the real reason Remy needed an infusion.
She stopped asking questions and turned back to sit by Serena’s side.
When Remy came out of the washroom again, the nurse had already prepared the IV drip and was ready to give him the infusion.
Remy originally wanted to lie down in the ward for the infusion, but he inadvertently saw Elisa and immediately straightened his back. Then, he pretended to be fine and walked over with his bodyguards.
“Hello, Mrs. York and Ms. Stone.”
Serena was famous in Wiltspoon now. There was no one who did not know the young missus of the York family who popped out of nowhere.
If not for Zack and Josh, Serena would have been swarmed by the media. She would not have been able to stay here quietly for her infusion.
At first, Serena did not even realize that “Mrs. York” was referring to her.
Elisa asked, “What happened to you, Mr. Johnson?”
“I had sudden stomach flu. I was nauseous and kept vomiting. I also had abdominal pain and diarrhea accompanied by a fever. I couldn’t take it anymore, so I came to the hospital.”
Elisa said, “Oh, that sounds pretty rough. You should drink more water.
“Thank you for the concern, Ms. Stone.”
Then, he looked at Serena. When he saw her finger wrapped in gauze, he asked with concern, “You’re injured?”
Serena smiled wryly. “I wanted to test if the scissors were sharp and cut my hand.”
Remy was speechless.
He looked at Serena and Elisa, then thought, ‘Why is Elisa here instead of Zack when Mrs. York is injured?’
He sat down on the chair next to Serena to get his infusion.
That way, he could chat with Elisa in the meantime.
The bodyguards helped Remy get his medicine and poured him a glass of warm water to take the pills. Along with the infusion, it would help him heal a little faster.
A few minutes later, Zack arrived in a hurry.
“Seren.”
There was only Serena in his eyes. He did not notice Remy sitting to the side chatting with Elisa.
Zack quickly walked to Serena and looked at the IV drip, then he crouched and gently held up Serena’s injured finger. His heart ached as he asked, “Does it hurt?”
“Why don’t you try for yourself?”
Zack blamed himself. “I’m sorry, Seren. I was wrong again.”
Serena pursed her lips and said, “It has nothing to do with you. I hurt myself accidentally.”
Zack looked up at her. She met his eyes for a moment and then looked away.
His heart clenched.
He stood up, and said after a moment, “The infusion is finished. I’ll send you home.
Rest well and don’t touch cold water for the next few days so the wound doesn’t get infected.”
“You’re busy with work, so you don’t need to send me. Elisa will send me home.”
It was a Saturday, but his whole company was working overtime. It was clear that work was up to their necks.
Zack stared at her.
Elisa and Remy, who were watching from the side, exchanged glances.
Remy cleared his throat.
Only then did Zack notice him.
“Why are you here, Mr. Johnson?”
Remy smiled wryly. “I’m a fully grown man who has been sitting here the entire time. You’ve been here for several minutes but haven’t seen me. It seems I have the ability to turn invisible.”
“What happened, Mr. Johnson?” Zack did not get offended by Remy’s sarcasm. He only saw Serena when he entered and did not notice anyone else.
He did not expect to see Remy here.
“I don’t know why, but I suddenly got a stomach bug. I came to the hospital because I couldn’t handle it anymore.”
Zack glanced at Elisa.
He seemed to have a sudden feeling that Elisa and Remy were a good match.
“Seren’s infusion is finished. Call the nurse over and help her remove the needle,”
Elisa instructed Zack to call for the nurse.
Zack did not like Elisa talking to him in a commanding tone, but he had to endure it as he went to call the nurse.
After the nurse pulled out the needle, he instinctively wanted to help Serena press the puncture wound, but Elisa was faster than him and pressed it first. She also said in a warm voice, “Seren, you need to keep pressure on it for a few minutes so it doesn’t bleed.”
Zack could not steal the spotlight from Elisa. He could not argue with Elisa now.
He asked with concern, “Has Seren gotten her medicine yet?”
“Not yet. You go to the pharmacy to get it for her. There is no oral medicine. It’s all topical medication for dressing wounds.”
The one who answered was naturally Elisa.
Zack pursed his lips and turned around to go to the pharmacy to help his wife get her medicine.
As soon as he did, Elisa helped Serena walk out.
“Seren.”
Zack quickly walked over. “Let me take you home, okay?”
He then said to Elisa, “Thank you for taking care of her, Ms. Stone.”
Serena did not want to come to the hospital. It was Elisa who dragged her here.
This was something Zack was thankful to Elisa for.
Serena and Zack’s relationship as a couple warmed up a bit but fell back to square one because of Elisa. Zack was especially displeased with that and was even jealous of Elisa, but he could not deny that Elisa genuinely cared about Serena.
Zack also knew that he could no longer treat Elisa as coldly as before.
She was Serena’s cousin! Serena cared about her.
