Are you furious because I was right ? I bet dragging Eric abroad for treatment is just an excuse The real plan is to run off and have a romantic getaway with that doctor , isn't it ? " Eric rushed forward and tried to pry Skylar's hand off . " Let go of Elaine ! I won't let you bully her ! Skylar frowned . He kept hold of Elaine's wrist and roughly shaved Eric to the ground with the other Eric was already frail from his illness . After falling to the ground , he looked even peler than before . Elaine cried out anxiously , " Eric ! Skylar , you've gone too far ! " Skylar scoffed and let go of her wrist . He watched her scramble over to help Eric up and said sarcastically , " The two of you sure know how to act delicate . You're acting as if you're as fragile as glass bottles . " Elaine saw blood trickling from the corner of Eric's mouth . Worried that his heart condition had flared up again , she frantically helped him up while fumbling for the medicine in her bag . In her haste , four small pill bottles tumbled out of her bag . Two were Erk's , and the other two were hers Flustered , Elatne shoved her own bottles back into the bag and quickly shook out two pills for Eric . " Take these first . I'll take you to a doctor right away . Plenty of other things had spilled from her bag . Apart from the pill bottles , she didn't have time to pick up anything else . Skylar bent down and picked up her ID and passport from the floor . He examined them closely and said , " Looks like you're pretty well prepared . But here's the problem . I just realized you've been playing me for a fool , and I'm not divorcing you anymore . " He took a few steps forward and blocked her path , refusing to let her take Eric back into the hospital Elaine had no choice but to call Marcus , asking him to come and bring Eric back to the ward Skylar's eyes grew colder as he spotted Marcus approaching in a white coat . " How touching . Just one phone call and he comes running . No wonder you'd po to all this trouble to get me to divorce you . It's all just to make room for your new lover . ' Marcus hurried over , still unaware of what had just happened . He looked at Elaine and asked , " What's wrong ? Is everything alright ? " Looking frightened , Eric immediately stood by Marcus ' side . Eric had been in the hospital for a long time . As his attending doctor , Marcus felt like an older brother to him . Elaine didn't explain further . She only asked Marcus to take Eric back to has ward first . Skylar found it incredibly jarring as he watched Eric clutch Marcus ' sleeve and speak to him so intimately . Even Elaine's own brother was so close to that doctor . Clearly , Elaine's relationship with Marcus was far from simple Fury surged up in him again when he caught Elaine staring at Eric's retreating back . He slipped her ID and passport into his own wallet and said coldly , " You haven't even divorced me yet , but you're already planning to nun in off with another man . Elaine , life doesn't work that way . After everything you've done th Thea , even a lifetime of paying her back wouldn't be enough . " Elaine saw her documents in his hands and furiously reached for them . " Give me back my ID and passport ! Even if we're married , you have no right to take them away . Skylar , I don't owe you anything . If you refuse to divorce me , I'll file for divorce in court . And as for your accusations about me hurting Thea , show me the evidence . Go ahead and sue me if you want ! " Skylar was momentarily stunned . Not long ago , she'd been crying and saying she loved him and didn't want a divorce . Now , she was talking about filing for divorce . After all her declarations of love , she was now rushing to divorce him and leave the country . Who would ever believe she wasn't already messing around with another man ? Pulling our his phone , he tapped to play a video and held the screen up in front of her face . " I guess having another man backing you up has made you pretty bold . Well , take a good look at this and see if you still have the guts to go against me . " Elaine glanced at the screen , freezing In the video , her grandmother , Agatha Graham , lay in an unfamiliar ward Several foreign doctors stood around her bed , including a man in a tailored sult . Elaine recognized him imunediately . It was Colin Vale , Skylar's assistant . Skylar smiled , observing the unease on her face . " Guess which country this is ? Agatha is almost 80 years old . If her body doesn't hold up , it wouldn't be considered medical malpractice , would i Llaine's hands clenched tightly . "Skylar , you're so despicable ! This is illegal . I can call the police ! " " Go ahead and report it . What evidence do you have to accuse me ? Go on , try it . Let's see if the police will uncover the truth first or the news of Agatha's He calmly deleted the video and slipped his phone into his pocket . Elaine's voice finally softened . " Don't hurt my grandma . Come at me if you want . She's too old to handle this . " Skylar grabbed her chin and forced her to look up at him . " You should've been this obedient sooner . Bo back at Birchwood Estate before 6.00 pm tonight Elaine , you still have a lot to pay for what you did to Thea " At that moment , his assistant approached and whispered , " Mr. Skyler , Mr. Joshua just called . He's urging you to get to the office . " Skyler's eyes held a faint smile . His swept over pt over Elaine's face before he walked past her and lett . Elaine hurried back toward the ward . Just as she reached the hallway , she saw Eric being wheeled out on a gurney by several doctors and nurses , their faces right with worry . Marcus spotted her and said seriously . " He's vomiting blood again . They're taking him into the emergency room . Go pay the tees now . Do you have enough money ? " me . I'll go pay first . " As he spoke , he reached for his wallet , but Elaine quickly stopped him . " Thank you , Dr. Middleton . I have money on me . Marcus , didn't argue further . He just nodded and quickly followed the gurney , Elaine , flustered , rushed downstairs to the payment counter . She pulled her bank card out of her bag and handed it over . The staff member swiped the card and gave it back to her , speaking with an impatient tone . " Miss , you need to pay 20 thousand dollars uptront . There's only a little over ten thousand dollars left on this cand . " Elaine frowned as she took the card back . She then realized she had left her other bank card at home .
