Let me go, Mr. Hill By Shallow South Chapter 2002
Skyler turned her gaze to where Eliza was looking, only to find a bunch of people walking in and out the door. “Lizzie, what are you looking at?”
“ I’m looking at how well this hospital is doing. ” Eliza averted her eyes.
Skyler said with a smile, “All the hospitals are doing well. What’s more, the Jewell family hospital has the best medical skills in Australia.”
“I’ll come over tomorrow for IV infusion, ” Eliza said, “The doctor said I should have an infusion for three days straight, right?”
Skyler was taken aback as Eliza was known for going against the doctor’s instructions. This time,
she was probably rather obedient because she was in poor health. “Actually, you can get a family doctor over to your house to perform an IV infusion. After all, you’re a public figure…”
“ It doesn’t matter. I feel more at ease having it in the hospital. ” As Eliza was speaking, she made her way to the door. “You must be exhausted from the past two days. I’ll ask my bodyguard to accompany me to deal with other matters. You can carry on with your work, and there’s no need for you to accompany me home later.”
Once Eliza got home, she took her coat off and lay on the couch.
The chauffeur came in and closed the door. Then, he carefully put the fruit baskets on the overhead table.
Eliza took out a box of cigarettes below the table in front of him. The minute she held the cigarette between two of her fingers, she exuded a sense of coldness. Then, she lit the cigarette and took a deep drag like a junkie.
Only those who knew her well would understand that this was her only way of venting her feelings when she felt most miserable.
After two solid minutes of silence, she said, “ Sarah will probably be in the burn unit for the next two days. Now that Shaun’s memory has mostly recovered, Rodney trusts Sarah even more. I guess Rodney will consider sending Sarah abroad once her wound gets better.”
