Chapter 226: Crocodile Tears

Ella took a deep breath, and Amelia quickly brought a glass of water to her lips. "Here, drink this sugar water to regain some strength."

Ella obediently drank it down. "I... I need to go see him!"

"Ella, how can you even think about getting out of bed?" Chloe exclaimed, rushing to stop her.

Ella gave a bitter smile. "I'm not hurt, I only inhaled a little smoke."

Eric had protected her so well, even in the face of danger, making sure she had a chance to survive.

Trembling, she sat up. Her head spun, and her heart pounded, silently praying that Eric would be okay.

With Chloe and Amelia supporting her on either side, they hurried to the ICU.

In the hallway, James's face was dark and stormy, while Richard and the others paced anxiously. When they saw Ella, Richard immediately rushed over.

"Are you alright?" he asked.
