Elizabeth got out of the car and thanked Xavier again, but she did not intend to invite him to come into the house.
Xavier didn't care. His phone rang, but he didn't answer it. Instead, he took the medicine prescribed by the doctor from the back seat and gave it to her, "I've checked it. The doctor wrote the usage and how many times you should take it every day. You can eat it according to the instruction."
"Okay, thank you." Elizabeth took the bag, "Then... be careful on your way back."
When she entered the house, she was worried that Jane would see Xavier. Fortunately, Jane seemed to have gone to the garden, so she was relieved. Holding the medicine, she went upstairs quickly.
It wasn't until Xavier saw Elizabeth enter the house with his own eyes that he picked up the phone. There were five missed calls.
He frowned and felt a little annoyed in his heart, but he called her back.
"Zena, what's up?"
James sat in a chair in the tidy study that had been cleaned up. He was holding a cigarette in his hand, and there was no expression on his face.
On the opposite side of the desk stood a man who was about 30 years old and wearing a cap.
"Mr. Lu, I'm Dennis."
James glanced at him and said, "I asked you to go to Maria Hospital. What did you see?" At this moment, although he looked calm and natural on the surface, no one knew that he was actually very nervous in heart.
From the moment he received the message, only he himself knew how uneasy and angry he was.
Maria Hospital...
He was the one who called the ambulance, and he did not forget the name of the hospital on the ambulance.
Did Elizabeth go to Maria Hospital and spend so much money in such a short time?
Well, he was not stupid. Just by thinking about it for a second, he knew what she used the money for.
Did she... use his money to pay the medical expenses for Theodore? How ridiculous!
At that moment, he really wanted to strangle her to death! He had said that she could use the card and spend the money as long as she wanted.
She... was really obedient this time! In ordinary times, she was always diligent and thrifty, but she actually spent so much money for a jerk all of a sudden.
She did a good job! She threw his dignity and love on the ground mercilessly and then trampled on it heartlessly.
When he received the message, he wanted to catch her in person. When he saw her, even if he didn't beat her, he wanted to ask her why she did that and whom she regarded him as...
However, he suppressed the impulse. He was afraid that he would really beat her and even strangle her to death when he saw her.
Therefore, he had to send someone to check it out and see if he was wrong...
As a private detective, Dennis was rigorous. Without saying a word, he handed a big envelope to James and said, "Mr. Lu, it's all here." After he waited for a long time, James didn't reach out to pick it up. He had to put the envelope on the desk with both hands and gently pushed it to James.
James raised his eyes and stared at the envelope on the table, not doing anything for a long time.
"Mr. Lu, I received the task not long ago, so... some photos were not taken when I went there." Dennis was afraid that James would blame him, so he said, "I will follow her all the time from now on. Today, it's my fault..."
James put out the cigarette and waved at him casually, "Go back first."
The room became quiet, but James's heart was getting more and more restless.
After smoking several cigarettes, he took several deep breaths, and then raised his hand, and slowly reached out to the large envelope.
As soon as he touched the envelope, he felt as if his hand had been scalded and wanted to take it back, but he was curious to see the photos...
