Chapter 478 - ASSISTANCE: PART VI

"Answer it, hurry up." Cris said as he went back to the man's side to listen to what Wang Ji has to say. He had high hopes that the call concerns all about him. 

"President Chen, I'm sorry to bother you. But, how are you feeling?" Wang Ji said, knowing for a fact that the girl's father might have tapped into his phone already as well, so he needed to be careful. 

"Huh? Wang-" 

Before President Chen could complain, Cris grabbed him and covered his mouth with his hand. He realized what was happening and it was only a second before things could have ended for them. He looked at the man furiously for not realizing the situation at all and whispered to him. 

"He's asking about me, you idiot. Be careful of your words, the call might be recorded." 

President Chen's eyes were wide away from the shock and his half sleepyhead soon functioned perfectly as if he was heading to battle and was all wide alert. "Ah, Wang Ji, sorry, I just woke up. I'm feeling much better thanks for your concern."

"Ha-ha, I'm glad to hear that. Well then, President Chen… Have a good rest." 

President Chen sighs in relief as soon the call ends and throws his phone on the bed as if it was a time bomb. "Cris, am I safe now?" 

"Idiot…" Cris sighs in disbelief as he headed out of his room to look for some food. He has been asleep for quite some time and has missed almost a total of seven to eight meals adding all the time he's been sick. 

"Cris, wait for me." 

As they were in the kitchen grabbing all the food they both could possibly eat. President Chen did not hesitate and asked about the call earlier. 

"Cris, how did Wang Ji know you're sick." 

Cris sighs as he looks at the man disappointedly, "Only you would think inside the box." 

"Huh? Inside a what?" 

"It wasn't him who initiated the call, but the girl. She must have known that I am not taking the medicine which will eventually conclude to my condition now." 

"Ah, I see…" President Chen eagerly listened as he slowly sip down the milk. Then, a sudden thought pops into his mind which leads him to ask, "Does that mean, she's found someone to investigate on the medicine." 

"I guess so, but I'm curious who that person is and can that person be trusted."

President Chen nodded his head in agreement and was too curious of the person's identity whom the girl asked for help. 

Meanwhile, back in the military academy where Elizabeth was. The girl couldn't help it, but sneezed from time to time… It worried her grandfather that she might be sick. 

"Darling, is something wrong?"

"I'm fine grandpa," she answered, but she rather said, "Who the heck is speaking ill of me?"

As the two of them waited patiently for the person whom they both had been waiting for. Elizabeth was busy reading through different newspapers and magazines. 

An hour later…

"Old man, I'm sorry for being so late." 

Running inside the office covered in sweat was General Liu. He looked as if he ran a marathon all the way to the office. Despite the difference in distance between his grandfather's office and the front gate. It wasn't that far, so why does he look like he was out of breath. 

"Ha- you think I'd be pleased to see you now after the long wait." 

"Old man, don't be like that. I was far away, even ran halfway just to get here."

"Then you should have ran faster." 

"You-" 

Both of them quarrel with each other as if Elizabeth was not around. They joke around like young children without even caring for their ranks and status. 

"Ah, I almost forgot. Old man, say hello to my granddaughter, Elizabeth."

"Young Princess, good to see you again."

"General Liu, I'm pleased to see you too." She spoke with tearful eyes as if she was that please to see the old man. 

The old man was moved to see how delighted the girl was to see him. He has thought for a second that all the things Elder Chief Zhao spoke of being untrue. The girl must have really lost her memory for her to be this please just to see him alive in the flesh. 

"Ah, child, I'm pleased you remembered me." 

"Ah, I-" Elizabeth continued her act and turned to her grandfather as if she was unsure of the situation. 

Elder Chief Zhao cleared his throat and said, "Old man, you'll be paying for our meal. How dare you make us wait. Especially since Lili is here…" 

"Ha-ha, fine, fine, I shall not quarrel about your request." He laughed as they all brushed off the awkward situation just a moment ago. Despite the girl might have some mental problem due to her memory loss. Seeing the girl in person and in flesh looking beautiful as ever, made the old man think of the possibility to bind her with his family. 

…

In a fancy restaurant which was also part of Elizabeth's memory where she dined with her classmate and ended up dining with his uncle and the other officers along with Yun Shen almost caused her to forget her plans. Seeing the place was well situated and doing well, made her curious if she had dined with Yun Shen at the place. 

"Ha-ha, old man, you should have brought Lizzy with you last time. She'll surely enjoy the fresh air by the sea." 

"Not a chance, you'll just drag her to meet you silly grandson again."

"Are you calling my grandson silly who is being ranked the top doctor in the country? Have you forgotten all the achievements he has received?"

Elder Chief Zhao said nothing since he knew of the young man's great achievement. But, speaking of him at this moment was not the appropriate time. Matchmaking the girl, especially she is still unsure of herself was not the best course of action. 

"So, Dr. Liu was…" 

When the two generals heard the girl speak. Both of them realize that she must have remembered meeting the man. Elder Chief Zhao regretted it and wished to drag the girl home. For the old man will surely take this opportunity and not let it split. 

"Ah, does the Young Princess remember meeting him." 

"Well, I'm not sure. But, somehow, I recall General Liu intruducing his grandson to me." 

"Ha-ha, he's doing so well now. Let me tell you what he's been doing lately." General Liu has a lot to say and listed all his grandson's achievements whilst the girl was away. He also listed the many different hobbies, which ended up with Elder Chief Zhao interrupting him for those information weren't unnecessary at all. 

Elizabeth watched as the two argued with each other again. She stayed calm and contemplated the situation. She realized she had a great chance to find out the truth about the medicine. However, how was she supposed to get in touch with Dr. Liu. It will be awkward if she initiates it and it will lead to people suspecting her. 

As she was in deep thought, she did not hear General Liu was saying something until her grandfather tapped her on the shoulder to alert her. 

"Darling, is something wrong?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, I was just thinking that Dr. Liu has not changed at all. I recall during the first meeting that he was so gentle and kind. Hearing from General Liu the different things he has achieved and all the charitable works he'd done, really make him a great man." 

Her words were as sweet as honey for General Liu and as sour as a lemon for Elder Chief Zhao. The old man feared that his granddaughter was getting too interested in the man. Whilst, General Liu felt like in heaven hearing all the praise and decided to not let the opportunity split at all. 

"Young Princess, I know you are currently recuperating. How about letting my good grandson examine you?" General Liu suggested heading his true intention. 

"Well, I haven't been examined lately since I arrived. Hmm, let me call daddy first if that's fine." The girl spoke as she called her father right away in front of them. They listened in to their conversation as she ended up handing the phone to her grandfather. 

"Rob, you see, I'm with my friend. He has a good grandson, his name is Dr. Liu. You can check his background if you want; his grandfather is fine with it. The old man just thought why not let Lizzy…" 

Despite being an elder of the family. Elder Chief Zhao has so much respect for his son-in-law that he was speaking carefully towards him. He made sure that his words would not change the man's mood and might harm his friend's family. General Liu carefully listened in and suggested what to say to the old man. He knows the girl's father would be protective, which is why he suggested having their family be checked. 

Lord Knightley thought about it for a moment and realized nothing wrong about it. Plus, it has been a while indeed, since the girl was last checked. Having a different doctor examine will not change the results anyways. "It's fine. But, she must be at home." 

"Ah, of course, that can be arranged. Is there anything else?" 

"Hmm, give the phone back to Liz."

Elizabeth reached out to grab the phone back and answer it, "Daddy?"

"I agree to have you examine, but, the examinations will be at home and your mother will be present. I'll send some doctor's as well just to make sure."

"Alright daddy. I love you." Elizabeth hung up and faced both of them who were eagerly waiting for the man's verdict. "Daddy said, it's fine. But, the examination has to be done at home." 

"Ah, yes, Rob did agree." 

"That's not a problem. I'll have him visit during the afternoon." 

"Alright." 

Both Elizabeth and Elder Chief Zhao agreed as they all continued and finished the food.
