Chapter 731
Elizabeth’s phone suddenly rang.
Elizabeth glanced at Alexander and went out to take the call.
It was Oliver, “Boss, we found a man who entered Lily’s hospital rode today.”
Elizabeth looked up and instructed Oliver, Send me a photo of him mediately.”
Oliver continued, “We tracked him outside the hospital. He got into taxi, but once he reached downtown, I lost him. Bass, I did my
best.
Elizabeth asked, “Did you see his face?”
Oliver replied, “No, this guy has strong counter–surveillance skills. He never showed his face the entire time. But from his build, he seems to be a very burly man. Looks like he might have been in the military.”
Elizabeth was silent for a moment before saying, “Call Callum Percy back to the team and have him investigate this guy. Find out as soon as possible.”
The call ended, and when Elizabeth turned around, she saw Alexander standing behind her.
Elizabeth paused, gripped her phone tightly, took a step back, and then quietly looked at Alexander.
Alexander frowned and asked, “Who are you?
Elizabeth laughed. “What kind of question is that, Mr. Tudor? Don’t you know who I am? Of course, I am who I am.
Alexander shook his head. “Elizabeth, do you have another identity?

Seeing Alexander remain silent, Elizabeth continued speaking to herself, “The high and mighty Alexander is indeed impressive, but the Percy Family isn’t weak either. Surely, they know a few detectives
Elizabeth smiled and continued, “Is it surprising that I know a few capable friends?”
Alexander just frowned at her, not believing
g what Elizabeth said.
Elizabeth’s tone was calm. “You don’t believe me?”
Alexander pressed his lips together, “Elizabeth, why did you quit your job at the hospital and go to the research institute?”
Talking about this made Elizabeth a bit downcast. “My grandmother had a car accident, and her right hand was left disabled. She couldn’t work at the research institute anymore.”
Alexander looked at Elizabeth in surprise,
“Alexander, that’s why I refused to be your grandmother’s doctor. My own family is a mess, and I’m still the director of the research institute. How many things can I handle at once? I’m very tired too, Elizabeth said.
He has his business empire to build, but didn’t Elizabeth have her own career to fight for?

Alexander was left speechless by Elizabeth’s words,
Elizabeth looked at him and said calmly, “As for why I joined the research institute, do you still think, like some others, that I’m just a pretty face with no real talent?”
Alexander was about to speak, Elizabeth interrupted him, saying calmly, “It doesn’t matter. As long as I know the truth.”
Alexander knew that Elizabeth was still blaming him. Because he did think that way before.
Elizabeth didn’t say anything more and turned to leave.
Alexander followed her. “Let me take you back to rest.”
Elizabeth shook her head. “No need. I’ll take a cab myself.”
“I’ll take you,” Alexander insisted.
Elizabeth frowned, looking displeased. “You should rest yourself first
How could she trust Alexander to take her? What if something happened on the way and she got hurt again?
There were many things waiting for her to handle at the research institute; she didn’t have time to recuperate.
Alexander paused as the elevator doors opened, and Elizabeth was about to step in.
Alexander blocked the doorway and smiled, asking her, “So, you do care about me a little, don’t you?”
