Half an hour later, Elliot received a call from his brother, Henry.
"Elliot! Come to the hospital now! Mother fell! She’s not doing well!"
Elliot gripped his phone tightly. He strode out of the office and walked toward the elevator.
Chad noticed his darkened expression, and the alarm in him went off. What had happened?
"Mr. Foster, do you want to push back your meetings?"
"Let the vice president do it. Send the meeting notes to me," Elliot said before entering his private elevator.
The doors of the elevator slowly slid shut. Chad had a bad feeling. Elliot rarely looked anxious while he was in the office.
At the hospital, Rosalie was pushed into the emergency room. When Elliot arrived, the emergency room door was still shut.
"What happened?" Elliot looked at Henry with a dark expression.
"I was not at home then. Cole said he heard Mother yell out, so he came out of the room to have a look, and he saw Mother rolling down the stairs."
Elliot furrowed his brows tightly. "She fell from the upper floor? What was she doing there?"
Rosalie was quite old. She was no longer steady on her feet, so she normally stayed on the ground floor.
Henry looked like he was in pain. "I don't know either! I was not at home then.
Although Mother doesn't stay on the upper floor, she can't stay still and usually likes to walk around the house."
"How about the nanny? Didn’t the nanny look after her?" Elliot's voice rose a few octaves. He asked his question coldly.
Rosalie has high blood pressure, and she could not afford to take the fall.
"I rushed to the hospital when I received Cole's call. I didn't have time to ask all those questions!" Henry's eyes reddened." Cole, come and speak to your uncle!”
