Despite Elvira's insistence that she was feeling better, Zach was still concerned, and he insisted on carrying her to the intensive care unit where his grandmother was admitted.

Upon entering the intensive care unit, Elvira immediately noticed Zach's secretary, Sherry. She stood up from her chair and greeted Zach, "Mr. Gilbert. Your grandmother's condition is stable at the moment."

Zach spoke in a cool and detached tone as he addressed Sherry. "Alright, you can make the first move," he said. After speaking with Sherry, Zach gently lowered Elvira onto the plush sofa and ensured she was comfortably seated before stepping back. Yes, Mr. Gilbert." Sherry nodded in acknowledgment and left.

Elvira looked at Mrs. Gilbert as she lay peacefully in the hospital bed. Though Mrs. Gilbert hadn't regained consciousness, the nurses of the intensive care unit assured Elvira that her condition was stable.

"Aren't you treating your secretary too coldly? Does she work well with you?" Elvira asked, curious about Zach and Sherry's working relationship.

Besides Zach's cold attitude, Elvira also noticed that Sherry was showing excessive respect towards Zach despite him being only a mid-tier staff, which was weird.

"Ms. Johnson is a competent secretary, highly efficient, and great at her job," Zach said primly. Sherry was Zach's only female secretary in his Secretary's Office. He usually worked with male assistants, but he found Sherry highly capable and had no ulterior motives, so he hired her as his secretary.

After hearing Zach's reply, Elvira did not think much about it. As she gazed at him, taking in his prim and proper appearance and mannerisms, she couldn't help but recall the intimate moments they had spent alone together. It was then that she noticed how drastically different he could be, and she struggled to reconcile the two versions of him in her mind entirely.

Tracy finally regained consciousness at night. Zach and Elvira entered the ward in full protective gear, spoke to her, and left shortly after.
