Elijah heaved a sigh. "Zachary suffered from stomach bleeding a few days ago and is now hospitalized for treatment. His condition is already critical, but he has suddenly started starving himself. Since yesterday, he hasn't eaten anything until now, The nurse said the change in him was after he received a phone call yesterday."

Zachary is hospitalized because of stomach bleeding?

Lenora was taken aback, her mind suddenly flashing back to the scene where she thought she caught a glimpse of Zachary's back when she visited Miranda's grandson at the hospital a couple of days ago but brushed it off as a trick of the eye at that time. Seeing her reaction, Elijah continued, "Please go with me to the hospital now to talk some sense into him!"

Lenora snapped back to reality, taking a step back. "No way. He's not a child anymore. He's the one who'll suffer to risk his health. We're already divorced. If I have to go and visit him every time he pulls the same act, will I ever get to live my own life?" Even before they got divorced, she was already well aware that Zachary had a weak stomach due to his constant social socializing outside.

But she kept an eye on him back then and always used various ways to get him to eat, so he never had any episodes.

However, she hadn't expected that he would end up hospitalized right on the heels of their divorce.

Elijah's brows furrowed. "Lenora, I know you're upset over the matter with the Morris family. I promise you it was my doing alone. Zachary had no idea about it!"

"I don't believe it! You two must be teaming up to fool me!" Lenora countered indifferently.

"I swear! If even a word of all I said was a lie, may lightning strike me down!" Elijah vowed solemnly, holding three fingers up.

At the serious expression on his face, Lenora couldn't help but waver.

Striking while the iron was hot, Elijah pressed, "Do you still not believe me? Lenora, do you know what he told me when I came over? He said if only death could prove his innocence, he was willing to give up his life! He even coughed up blood this morning! The doctor said Afraid that he wouldn't survive the surgery... Is his condition this severe? Even though I find Zachary's persistence annoying, I never wanted him dead.

Lenora pursed her lips and lowered her gaze, a flicker of something complex flashing across her eyes. Hery fingers hanging by her sides clutched at the cuff of her sleeves.

Could I have really accused him wrongly?

Before she had a chance to say anything, Harrietta rushed out of the room. She looked up at Elijah, asking anxiously with a worried expression on her face, "My uncle coughed up blood? What happened?"

Elijah knew that she was Zachary's niece, so he explained, "Your uncle has stomach bleeding and is now

mere thought of that scene struck Harrietta with such fear that she shuddered. She grabbed Lenora's hand, "Aunt Lenora, the day you attended the cocktail party, Uncle Zachary drank the entire night. Can we go to the hospital to visit him, Aunt Lenora? He's so pitiful." Elijah also had his gaze fixed on Lenora. "Lenora, you two were once married. Do you truly want to see
