Chapter 727 My Family Member Is An Old Woman
"Eliana? What are you doing here?"
Someone suddenly appeared behind Eliana.
Eliana was so startled that she shivered.
But when she turned around and saw it was Branson, she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.She said truthfully, "I accidentally dropped my phone on the balcony of someone's ward.I came down to apologize to the patient in this ward."
Branson walked up to her and said, "Let me help you."
But Eliana shook her head at once.
"It's okay.It's just a small thing.I can handle it."
Branson smiled.
"The wards on this floor are for VIP patients.Except for you, the rest of the patients here are elderly.If you meet an old man with a bad temper, you can't handle it well.Why don't you let me help you? You go back upstairs first."
Eliana pursed her lips and looked at the closed door of the ward.
If the patient here was really an old man with a strange temper, she couldn't handle it.
At the thought of this, she didn't refuse Branson's kindness anymore.
"Thank you, Branson.Please apologize to the patient on my behalf."
After Branson nodded, Eliana then turned around and went back upstairs.
The moment the elevator doors closed, the door of the ward opened.
Then Maurice stood at the door and looked at the strange young man in front of him indifferently.
"who are you?" he asked with a frown.
When Branson saw Maurice, his heart jolted, and he almost couldn't control the expression on his face.He didn't expect that Maurice was the patient in this ward.
Of course, he knew Maurice.But Maurice didn't know him.
When Branson didn't say anything, Maurice got impatient and was about to close the door.
"Wait..." Branson said.
Then he added politely, "I'm sorry, my family member is a patient in the VIP ward upstairs.She accidentally dropped her phone on the balcony just now.I wonder if you happen to see it."
Maurice was stunned for a moment.Did the phone really belong to this man's family member? He thought for a while and asked, "Are there children upstairs?"
"There are none.Why?"Branson replied with a frown.
Maurice took out the phone and said, "When the phone fell down just now, I heard children talking."
With a straight face, Branson explained, "My family member upstairs is an old woman.Every time she misses her grandchildren, she watches their videos.Maybe she was watching them when she dropped her phone."
"Oh, really?"
A trace of disappointment flashed through Maurice's eyes.He couldn't help laughing at himself.How could he think they were Aileen's and Adrian's voices? He must only be overthinking, and he'd better stop it.
"I'm sorry for what happened just now.Can I take the phone back?" Branson spoke again.
It was only then that Maurice came back to his senses.He forcibly suppressed the disappointment in his heart and handed the phone to Branson.
"I hope this won't happen again."
"Yes, I'll make sure of that.Thank you."
The moment Branson turned around with the phone in his hand, the expression on his face changed at once.He walked to a secluded corner, took out his phone, and called his assistant.
"Arrange for Eliana to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."
The assistant on the other end of the line was stunned.
"Mr.White, what's wrong? Miss Pierce hasn't recovered yet, right?"
The expression on Branson's face was solemn.He said coldly, "Maurice is in the ward downstairs now.Eliana must leave here as soon as possible.I can't let them meet."
The next day, Branson quickly finished the discharge procedures for Eliana.
Eliana didn't notice anything unusual, so she immediately agreed happily.
"Branson, after I leave the hospital, can I see Aileen and Adrian?" Eliana asked while packing her things excitedly.
Branson paused for a moment, then he prevaricated, "Your wound hasn't healed yet.I'll take you to them after it completely recovers." This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
"I'm fine now except for my hand.Why won't you let me see the children?" Eliana asked in confusion.
"Just wait a little longer," Branson objected impatiently.
As soon as he said this, Eliana stopped what she was doing and fixed her eyes on him.She finally realized that something was wrong.
Was he trying to limit her freedom? This made her feel a little uneasy.
The two children had never been separated from her for so long.
If she didn't go back, they would definitely not bear it.
Branson said it was for her and the children's good.
But the truth was, he had been restricting her freedom.He even hired a private nurse to watch over her every day.
There must be something fishy here.
