Wearing gold-rimmed glasses, the distinguished man reached out and supported Sky's arm from behind.
"Are you okay?" Eli asked with a furrowed brow.
Sky breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Mr. Xia. I'm fine now..."
Thank goodness.
If Eli hadn't caught him, his left ankle, which had just started to feel better, would have been ruined again.
"Who the hell are you?!" Ella saw Eli supporting Sky, dressed in all designer clothes, and narrowed her eyes sharply.
"Well done, Sky. I get it now... no wonder you're so cocky and going against us! I was wondering why you were dressed in all designer clothes. So you've already found yourself a new sugar daddy! You really live up to your reputation, just like your shameless mother. You're both trash, shameless, and worthless..."
Ella was so angry that she insulted Sky without restraint.
Sky's palms trembled and curled up together, wishing he could slap Ella.
Just then, Eli's cold and serious voice came from beside her.
"Madam, this is the entrance of the police station, and there are surveillance cameras everywhere. Your words just now have caused personal insult to Mr. Sky. If we go into the police station now and retrieve the surveillance footage, we can sue you for defamation at any time."
Eli adjusted his glasses with one hand, his gaze behind the lenses calm and terrifying.
As Old Master Xander's right-hand man and a law school graduate, Eli exuded a cold and composed aura that left Ella speechless with just a few words.
"Don't try to scare me. You may not know who I am, but the Kin family is not to be trifled with!"
"I don't care who you are. The law is the law. If you don't believe me, the police station is right behind you. You can go in and ask. If you threaten Mr. Sky and give false testimony in front of the police station, the police might arrest you for obstructing justice."
Ella's throat tightened, wanting to retort, but she was wary of Eli's words.
This man didn't seem like an ordinary person.
Just his imposing presence alone was enough to deter anyone.
Ella was, after all, part of the wealthy elite and couldn't afford to offend the wrong people.
She could only leave with her husband Lyke in tow, feeling defeated.
But before leaving, she glared at Sky fiercely.
"Don't think this is the end of it, Sky. You may have married a rich man and think you're invincible, but your shameless mother is still in the hospital! Let me tell you, if you dare harm our Bella, I won't let you and your mother off the hook!"
After Ella and Lyke left, Sky turned back to Eli and thanked him.
"Thank you, Mr. Xia, for helping me out."
Eli frowned, his gaze behind the lenses slightly darkening. "Those two just now... they sounded like your uncle and aunt?"
He had heard their argument when he came over.
He already knew that Sky's family background was complicated, and there were probably a lot of troubles around her. But he didn't expect it to be this kind of trouble.
"Yes," Sky replied with a bitter smile. "They are my uncle and aunt... I'm sorry you had to see that."
This kind of family shame was exposed in broad daylight, letting the people passing by watch.
Even Mr. Xia had witnessed his embarrassment.
"It's not your fault, why are you apologizing?" Eli adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and his expression turned cold. "But just now, their threat before leaving, you should be careful."
"Your aunt said she knows which hospital your mother is in. Is this really not a big deal?"
Eli's words reminded Sky.
"Oh no, my aunt and uncle know which hospital my mother is in. Last time, they came to the hospital and removed my mother's oxygen tube with some people. My mother is still in a coma and waiting for surgery. She absolutely can't have any accidents now..."
After a brief pause, Eli calmly said, "Don't worry, I will take care of this for you."
...
In the end, Eli arranged for Skyler's mother Mira to be transferred to the best private hospital in Beijing, which was the same hospital as Old Master Xander.
Sky spent the whole afternoon busy with Eli on this matter.
By the time he had settled her mother and was sent back home by Eli, it was already around 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
As soon as they walked through the apartment door, they saw Dray sitting on the sofa.
"Master Li!"
Upon seeing the man, Sky instinctively called out softly.
Dray looked up and saw Sky and Eli walking in side by side.
His cold black eyes became even darker and more gloomy.
