Guillermo didn't refuse and nodded in the end.
Near evening, Guillermo left because he had something to do. Alistair's condition was stabilized. Maaike also chose to leave and go back to take care of the nightclub. Carolien stayed in the hospital alone.
Seeing that the child was still sleeping, she was also very tired after a whole day's work. Only then did she feel a little hungry, so she ordered takeout.
Soon, she received a call from the delivery man. "Yes, the hospital on the fifth floor. Come up. Can I wait for you at the elevator?"
"Okay!"
After instructing the nurse to take care of him, Carolien quickly walked out of the ward holding the phone.
The elevator area was on the left and right side of the building, and there were wards on both sides. In order to save time, Carolien trotted all the way to the elevator area. When she arrived at the elevator area, she first looked back and forth at the six elevators on both sides.
Two were below, two above, the remaining one was not open, and the other one should be specially used, which was obviously very different. Subconsciously, she took a step forward, and Carolien chose an elevator where she could see the two coming up.
As soon as she stopped, she heard a gentle broadcast. The door of the elevator was also slowly opened. "We're on the fifth floor. The elevator is going up. Please be careful!"
Carolien hurried forward, only to see only one staff member and an old couple. Coming out of the elevator was a young man.
Then, she turned back to the other elevator. As soon as she turned back, the diagonally opposite elevator also opened. She looked up and saw two familiar figures in front of her.
"Elijah?"
"And also—Kim Mi-chi?"
He saw that one of Kim Mi-chi's trouser legs had been cut off. At this time, her ankle was wrapped in gauze, and there were traces of blood on her rolled up sleeves. She looked a little embarrassed. Elijah lowered his head and supported her. He slowly walked out of the elevator. When he went out, he reached out and hugged her.
"Be careful!"
Her eyes widened unconsciously, and there was still some disbelief in Carolien's eyes. "Elijah is with her?"
From the looks of it, the two of them were both dressed in casual attire, while the scratches on her body seemed to have been caused by a fall. Elijah didn't go to work. Was she with her? Was that why he didn't answer her call?
When someone's life was at stake, he didn't answer her call because he had a date with another woman?
Her breath rushed to her throat, and Carolien flew into a rage.
At this moment, when he exited the elevator, he raised his eyes and met a pair of eyes that were filled with rage. Suddenly, he was stunned as well. "Carolien?"
"Why is she in the hospital?"
After a while, there was another sound of opening the door of the elevator. A deliveryman in a yellow delivery suit came out. He stopped and poked his head out to take a look.
When she came back to her senses, Carolien said, "Hello, my takeout, right? 506!"
"Yes, yes, Miss, take it!"
After receiving the takeout, Carolien smiled and nodded. "Thank you!"
As soon as she turned around, she was grabbed by Elijah. "What's wrong? Who's in the hospital?"
He had instinctively said that he was concerned, but Carolien was so angry that she shook off his hand. "What does it have to do with you? Get out of the way! Don't block the way!"
