Unrepairable Love
Chapter 212
Elizabeth came home with a bunch of snacks Н night.
Declan, sipping tea, watched her munching on chips in her pajamas. He was a bit surprised; it was rare to see her so relaxed.
“What’s up?” Declan squinted. “Got some good news?”
Elizabeth wanted to tell him she was divorcing Alexander tomorrow but decided to wait until it was official. She didn’t want to get everyone’s hopes up again.
she had ne
never been this eager to get divorced. It felt almost crazy.
“Nothing much, just learned some new surgery skills with Ms. Carter today. Feeling pretty good,” she said, sitting down and continuing to eat her chips.
Declan squinted, clicked his tongue, and ignored her.
Elizabeth couldn’t hide her happiness and smiled.
After finishing her snacks, she went upstairs to shower.
Before bed, she realized she hadn’t seen her driving license in a while. She last used it when she tried to file for divorce but hadn’t needed it since.
She opened a drawer full of documents but couldn’t find it. Puzzled, the squatted down, thinking hard.
Where did she put it?
The more she thought about it, the more confused she got. She decided to sleep on it, hoping it might turn up if she stopped looking.
The next morning, her alarm woke her up. After getting ready, she resumed searching for her driving license.
As eight o’clock approached, she started to panic. It seemed to be missing.
Rose came upstairs to call her for breakfast and was stunned by the mess in the room.
“Mom, help me,” Elizabeth pleaded. “Have you seen my driving license?”
Rose shook her head. “No, I haven’t!”
Elizabeth bit her lip, frustrated. “Where did it go?
Rose leaned on the sofa, watching her daughter search frantically.
“Mom, don’t just watch, help me look, Elizabeth said, exasperated.
“Why do you need it? If it’s not urgent, just get a replacement. Stop tressing, Rose replied, not moving.

Rose’s eyes lit up. I’ll help you look!”

Elizabeth wondered if she should tell Declan and Grant. It might be foster if everyone helped.
Her phone rang. It was Alexander.
Alexander: [I’m at the door.]
Elizabeth: [Hold on, I’m looking for my driving license.]
Alexander: [Did:
d you lose it?
Elizabeth: [Not sure yet.]
Alexander: [Okay, no rush.]
She sighed. If she didn’t file for divorce today, Lila would laugh at her
After more than ten minutes, Elizabeth and Rose sat on the floor, died.
Rose suggested, “Maybe we
really can’t find it. Why not just get a replacement? It’s only a day or two.”
Elizabeth noticed Alexander was unusually calm, not rushing her at all.
“I’m going to work first,” she said, grabbing her bag and leaving.
Rose continued searching for a while.
