Chapter 1527


    Lina sighed and looked at Fleur. “Aunt, you…”


    “I’m okay,” Fleur managed to force a smile, even though she appeared quite unwell. She straightened


    up, wrapping her shawl around herself.


    “Oh, that child…” A glint appeared in her eyes.


    Only after she mentioned it did everyone notice the wound on Alexander’s head.


    N rushed out immediately, her distress evident as she saw blood dripping from his head. She


    hugged him tightly, reluctant to let go.


    “It doesn’t hurt, really!” It was the first time so many people had shown Alexander care, especially a


    princess hugging him. He suddenly felt self-conscious.


    With concern for his sister and the throbbing pain in his head, he couldn’t help but grimace. The blow


    had been severe.


    “Get Alexander to the hospital and use my car,” Harold chimed in as he approached.


    “Take him to the Hamertons’ joint hospital,” Zuko said, “I’m calling the doctor now. Make sure his wound


    is tended to and conduct a thorough check-up.”


    “I’m going with him!” N cried out like a baby, still clinging to Alexander. “Brother, I’m going to the


    hospital with you. Don’t be scared!”

    He smiled and reached to y with her braid but hesitated with his dirty hands. They were no longer at


    the abandoned factory or on the way to the suburbs. She was a princess again, but his hands had


    always been stained. How could he touch her hair?


    –


    Soon, Alexander arrived at the joint hospital. Thanks to the mayor’s car and Zuko’s earlier call, he


    received the best medical attention, even though his injury was minor.


    After the bandaging was done, he rested in a ward that felt like heaven. He had never imagined staying


    in such a splendid room.


    He thought, ‘I’d dly get hurt more often if I could stay here every day.’


    His smile was interrupted by a soft voice. “What are you smiling about?”


    Turning his head, he saw the little princess and felt secretly delighted.


    N had insisted on apanying him to the hospital. Elijah and Kasey couldn’t dissuade her, so they


    followed her lead. Like a grown-up, she requested to care for Alexander in the hospital, saying that she


    didn’t need them.


    They were grateful that Alexander had saved N and treated him as if he were their own child and


    shared a simr parenting philosophy. No matter how young their child was, they would respect her


    decisions.


    Thus, they left the ward in unison. They arranged for a nurse to wait outside to ensure N wouldn’t be


    alone.


    They leaned against the wall in the corridor and made eye contact, sharing an understanding smile.


    Since their marriage, they hadn’t had many moments of harmony like that.


    At that moment, a doctor who appeared to be the department head hurriedly passed by the corridor.


    After walking a few steps, he turned back, surprised to see them.


    “Mister and Madam Chriss?”


    “Hello, Dr. Sheridan,” Elijah greeted, shaking his hand.


    When N returned safely, they had brought her to the joint hospital for aprehensive check-up. Dr.


    Sheridan was in charge of her care.


    “Why are you here? Is your daughter here too?”


    Elijah pointed toward the ward.


    Dr. Sheridan adjusted his sses, and his expression changed subtly.


    “If you have some time, pleasee to my office. Actually, I’ve been meaning to talk to you these past


    few days. Since you’re here, I’ll tell you now.”
