Unrepairable Love
Chapter 348
Alexander was about to spill the beans, but he got cut off.
The hospital room door flew open, and Lily barged in, all frantic. “What’s the deal? Something happened, and you didn’t clue me in. I had to hear it from the news. Are you hurt?”
Lily was a hot mess, sweat glistening on her forehead.
Elara shot a look at Alexander, eyebrows furrowed. ‘What’s he about to say?‘
“Elara, Alexander’s hurt, and you didn’t even tell me!” Lily grabbed Elara’s arm.
That snapped Elara out of it.
She sighed, “Mom, I didn’t want you to freak out.”
“Is he okay?” Lily pointed at Alexander, sounding more panicked, like she had a million other things on her plate.
Elara nodded. “He’s good. Chill!”
“Then I’m gonna check on Elizabeth!” And with that, Lily spun around to leave.
Alexander frowned and blurted, “Grandma, whose grandma are you?”
Lily shot him a glare. “I’m Elizabeth’s real grandma!”
Alexander was left speechless.
Elara chuckled softly, shaking her head as she watched Lily storm out.
“So, what were you gonna say?” Elara turned back to Alexander.
Alexander hesitated, thinking about how Esme had been treated by Elara, yet hadn’t mentioned that she had saved him. He shook his head. “Nothing.”
“So secretive!” Elara also walked out.
Alexander called after her, “Where are you going?”
“To see Elizabeth!” Elara replied.
Alexander gave a bitter smile and muttered, “Are you my mom or Elizabeth’s mom?
Elara didn’t answer, just strutted out with a bit of sass.
The room fell silent. Alexander leaned back against the headboard, thinking about Elizabeth’s bloodshot eyes and how she desperately said she didn’t need his help. His heart ached.
Elizabeth was so resistant to him.
Alexander closed his eyes, his mind a whirlwind, feeling like he had utterflies in his stomach.
What should I do about Elizabeth? Alexander wondered.

Chapter 348
Lily held Elizabeth’s hand, her face full of concern. “Don’t worry about a thing. Just concentrate on getting well. What’s your craving? I’ll fix it for you, alright?”
Elizabeth just smiled gently and nodded, keeping her distance.
Lily could feel Elizabeth pulling away more and more.
Lily stayed quiet, patted Elizabeth’s shoulder, and finally lowered her head. “Get some rest, sweetheart.”
With that, Lily got up and left.
Elara and Elizabeth exchanged glances, and Elizabeth nodded, signaling Elara to check on Lily.
“Call me if you need anything,” Elara said softly.
Elizabeth responded with a hum, watching Lily and Elara leave.
Lily stood by the window in the hallway, looking at the brightly lit city outside, and sighed softly, “Elizabeth is such a good girl, but now we have truly lost her.”
Elara said nothing, just stood with Lily, looking out the window.
Lily said faintly, “I can’t keep her in the Tudor family with guilt trips anymore.”
“Mom, let Elizabeth go,” Elara said, holding Lily’s shoulder.
They had to face it.
If they truly loved Elizabeth, they had to let her be free. Let her be happy.
“Even if Elizabeth isn’t part of the Tudor family, she’s still our daughter,” Elara comforted Lily.
Lily sighed deeply and nodded. She asked, “What about Esme? What do you think?”
Could it be that they would really let Alexander marry Esme and bring her into the family?
“She will never set foot in the Tudor family!” Elara said this with great confidence.
