Grandpa George wasn’t in good health because he had high blood pressure. It was no dangerous for him to be shocked or irritated.
The white bottle Yolanda put into Elena’s handbag, was filled of the high blood pressure medicine. Yolanda’s plan was that George was shocked by something and thus became sick. Then she got the pills from Elena’s handbag, accusing that she hid the pills on purpose. She believed that Elena couldn’t get away with it this time!
She pretended to receive a phone call from home and rushed to Grandpa George in a hurry, yelling, “Grandpa! Dove choke on the food! I’m afraid it will…die!”
“What?!”
Grandpa George kept Dove for years and they were so close. This morning, Dove was still alive, repeating the words he ever taught. He never expected it would happen like that!
Grandpa George got so shocked and then felt a deadly dizziness and sickness coming over. The next minute, he suddenly fell to the ground and fainted. Yolanda rushed to him first, “Oh, no! It’s high pressure! Where is his medicine? He needs it now!”
She then asked a servant to get the medicine for her, “It’s in a bag! on the desk in the guest room. Go get it now!”
The servant fetched the bag from the room at once. However, no medicine was inside. Jacqueline and Cornel turned even more anxious.
Cornel carried Grandpa George into the car and yelled, “Lord! Forget the medicine! Go to the hospital, now!”
Elena and Logan heard the calling for help and ran to them. However, what they could see was the vanishing car.
Elena was dumbfounded. She looked at Logan and asked, “What should we do? Grandpa will be OK, right?”
Logan didn’t know what happened. But he said in a calm tone, “We are going to the hospital and see what happened.”
Jacob drove them to the hospital at once. Then Yolanda and some people arrived after them.
Cornel felt concerns, blaming, “How could he forget to take his medicine! It’s so important!”
“Grandpa did take it!” Yolanda said, “I can prove that the servant did put the medicine in the bag. And the bag was put in the guest room.”
“Then why can’t we find it in the bag?”
Yolanda pretended that she didn’t know what happened, “I don’t know! It’s just gone! Did anyone else ever enter the room?”
The next second, she seemed to remember something, “Oh, I remember Elena was there. She went there for me to find my contact lens.”
Then she turned to Elena and accused her in wrath, “Elena, I can’t believe you will do this to Grandpa!”
Elena was shocked by her accusation, “Why do you mean? You know I was there to help you find the lens!”
“But no one had ever entered the room except you! The guest room was closed all the time. No servant will enter it without permission!” Yolanda confronted her.
Elena found it somewhat hilarious. Yolanda forced her to get responsible for something she didn't do. But Elena wouldn’t just accept it.
“No matter what you say, it’s none of my business. I don’t want to argue with you in the hospital.” She looked away, showing nonchalance.
“You are denying?! Dad! Look at her! Though I didn’t wear my contact lens and couldn’t see clearly, I assure she did take it away! She wants to hurt Grandpa!” Yolanda turned to Cornel and complained.
Cornel was about to say something. However, the light of the emergency room was off, and Grandpa George was pushed out in bed. Everyone turned all the attention to him and didn’t say a word.
Elena didn’t know why the bottle would appear in her handbag. She took a deep breath and seemed to know what was happening. She looked at Yolanda, “You set me up?”
“Ugh! How can you blame me now! How shameless!” Yolanda yelled.
“You asked me to go there, don’t you remember?” She was sure it was Yolanda’s trick.
“Yes, I did ask you to help me find the lens, but I didn’t ask you to take away Grandpa’s medicine! Elena, you son of a bitch!” Yolanda said in an irony tone.
Hearing their conversation, Cornel’s face darkened, “Why did you do this to Grandpa? He treats you so well. And now you want to hurt him? You nearly killed him!”
Elena couldn’t prove her innocence, but she insisted, “I didn’t do anything to Grandpa!”
At this moment, Logan held her hand even more tightly, which showed his trust to Elena.
Yolanda was irritated by Logan’s attitude, “Logan, she is so evil! Do you still want to defend her no matter what she did? How can you do that? Do you forget we are your family? You should stand by our side!”
Logan sneered, “You said she took away Grandpa’s medicine. But how can she know Grandpa will need it later?”
“I…” Yolanda stammered, “Then you should ask her! Not me!”
“How can I know? Come on, you set me up! It’s your dirty trick!” Elena found it so ridiculous to argue with Yolanda on this.
Hearing the argument, George couldn’t bear it anymore and yelled at them all, “Shut up!”
