Myra initially wanted to jeer at Tony’s behavior as a patient. However, her heart ached when she was reminded that his arms were injured. Hence, she gently fed him.
Not long after breakfast, Elliot and Tilly walked into Tony’s hospital room one after another.
Tilly was slightly shy in the beginning and her cheeks were slightly red from blushing. Nevertheless, she might have been surprised because she cried out in shock after noticing Tony’s injuries. She forgot about her embarrassment now that she was with Elliot. “Miss Stark, is Director Hart severely injured?”
Myra noticed Tilly avoiding his hand when he tried to hold hers. The two of them clearly shared an intimate and suggestive relationship, but Myra was too distracted by Tony’s car accident. Therefore, she wasn’t in the mood to focus on other issues. Upon hearing that, she looked up at Tony, who wore an indifferent facial expression. “They aren’t fatal injuries. The doctor said that he will recuperate after resting for some time.”
“That’s good to know.” Tilly patted her chest. She suddenly recalled the news she had learned and she seemed especially furious. “Gemma is despicable! Must she destroy someone just because she can’t have them?! Fortunately Director Hart is fine!”
On the other hand, Elliot did not look like he was fooling around for once. On the contrary, he stared at Tony, who was sitting on the bed. “Philip and Lucas are on the way here. We already removed the surveillance video from the underground parking lot from Hart Group last night. However, we are not sure if anyone else made a copy of it. What do you plan to do with this matter involving Gemma, Tony?”
Upon hearing Elliot’s question, Tilly and Myra turned to look at them. Tony frowned slightly and the frosty expression on his face became even more prominent. After a short pause, he answered calmly, “Sue her.”
Elliot immediately nodded. “Last night, there were many witnesses outside and near the Chase Group’s underground parking lot. The police are also well-versed with the incident and crime scene. Once we take legal action against her, the Walton Family will not win, no matter how powerful they are.”
For some reason, Myra finally felt calmer and steadier after hearing his comment. She made her way to Tony’s side before she picked up the cup of water by his side to feed him. He automatically took a couple sips of water.
Tilly felt slightly envious of their tacit understanding and intimacy. Elliot happened to catch sight of her envious expression when he turned to look at her. Hence, he approached her and suddenly placed his arms around her shoulder.
She was surprised and tried to release herself from his embrace, but he held her even tighter. He wouldn’t let her escape. “Myra, Tilly is now my woman. I hope that you will look out for her in the future,” he suddenly spoke to Myra.
Tilly furiously blushed because she did not expect Elliot to say those words all of a sudden. She noticed Myra’s shocked expression, so she retorted reflexively, “Who’s your woman?!” After that, she turned to Myra. “Miss Stark, please do not listen to his nonsense.”
Elliot chuckled in a deep and rumbling voice whereas Tilly blushed an even deeper red when she heard that. She was so shy that the redness spread down her neck.
“Myra, why don’t you take Tilly out for a meal?” He looked at Myra inquiringly.
