Alexander frowned. Joseph’s dad had a heart attack, but why is Elizabeth there? Did she become the Stewart family’s personal doctor after the banquet?

When Elizabeth reached the mottop, there were already many people there.
The doctor was persuading her, “Linda, whatever the issue is, we can solve it. Don’t do anything foolish!”
“Linda, don’t jump! Let’s solve the problem, okay?”
Elizabeth squeezed through the crowd, the bright rooftop lights illuminating Linda’s swollen face.
Linda saw Elizabeth and smiled gently.
