Chapter 287: Chapter 299: Unexpected Encounter at the Horse Field (1)

Elijah Smith walked to the emergency building map in the center of the first floor, glanced at it briefly, and then saw that the emergency resuscitation room was located in the East District 1 on the fifth floor.

There were many people waiting at the elevator entrance, so Elijah Smith went up the stairs directly. The building was only five floors high, and it took just a few minutes to reach the top.

On this floor of the emergency rescue room, there were very few people, only two or three operation room lights were on. In front of the first rescue room in the corridor, seven or eight people gathered around, both men and women of different ages.

Elijah Smith stood there for a while, then walked in. At the entrance of the second operating room, there were also many people. He didn’t know what kind of emergency the person inside was facing, and it seemed like the whole family had come to support them.

Elijah Smith felt that this scene was particularly jarring. He continued walking and finally saw Percy Stanton standing by the window in the room at the end of the corridor.

The man was very quiet, the dim light outside the rescue room illuminated his motionless body. His side profile looked perfect, and his eyes stared unblinkingly at the outside window, distant and profound. At first glance, he seemed no different from usual, but Elijah Smith clearly saw that Percy Stanton’s hand, resting on the windowsill, was continually tapping it, making irregular, barely noticeable sounds, betraying his inner anxiety.

Elijah Smith didn’t walk into the corridor; he just stood at the entrance, staring at the rescue room with the flashing red sign "Surgery in Progress.." for a while. Then, he glanced at the empty corridor outside the rescue room, where only Percy Stanton stood alone. He thought of the crowded people at the entrances of the other two rescue rooms he had passed on his way there and felt an indescribable unease.

Both of them were daughters of the Smith family; Isabel Smith’s life was hanging in the balance, and there was only a stranger guarding the door. Evelyn Osbert’s injuries were not severe, and she didn’t even need well wishes, but she was placed in a VIP ward with her parents accompanying her, caring for her, and protecting her.

Both of these daughters of the Smith family were his older sisters. Though one was his biological sister, and the other was his cousin. Normally, his cousin would treat him gently and care for him, while his biological sister, had once, for a man, implicated their parents in death and had a child in the United States. After returning, she continued to arrogantly discipline him!

He always wondered where Isabel Smith got the audacity to discipline him so confidently after returning from the United States?

Even a month ago, he had quarreled with her over a broken promise.

At that time, he genuinely resented his biological sister from the depths of his heart.

He thought, she had left him behind with the Smith family in the past and went away without a care. Why did she suddenly decide to play the role of a good sister and try to control him now?

It was so hypocritical!

However, it was this sister, whom he considered a hypocrite, who had, without hesitation, shielded him during a critical moment at the horse field earlier today.

At that time, when Isabel Smith lay on his back, he just felt that the woman behind him was so light... It seemed that the past six years had brought no changes to her, and she was even thinner than when she was eighteen years old.

But it was this frail, delicate woman who had blocked the frenzied stomping of a horse for him.

He didn’t know where she got the courage after all. He also didn’t know if he would have such courage if he had seen her or Evelyn Osbert in such danger.

As Elijah Smith thought about it, the image of the vivid red blood on the horse field lawn appeared before his eyes. Unconsciously, he raised his hand and reached into his pocket for a cigarette.

When Elijah Smith lit the cigarette, his fingertips trembled fiercely. It took him a long time to finally light it. He took a puff, and a nurse walked over from the side, pointed at a warning sign on the wall, and gently reminded him, "Sir, sorry, smoking is not allowed in the hospital."
