Unrepairable Love
Chapter 44
Elizabeth, in a flowing white dress with her hair cascading down her back, walked in carrying fruits and flowers. Their eyes met, and Alexander’s heart skipped a beat. Elizabeth looked at him, her eyes a swirl of emotions,
“I heard Lily was hospitalized, so I came to see her,” Elizabeth said calmly.
At the sound of her voice, Elara jumped up. Seeing it was Elizabeth, she rushed over, greeting her like she was her own daughter, “Elizabeth!”
“Elara, is Lily okay?” Elizabeth asked, setting her stuff down by the table.
Elara shook her head. “It’s her old ailment flaring up! The doctor wants her in the hospital for a few days to keep an eye on her.”
“Got it.” Elizabeth walked over to the bed. Lily looked pale and was fast asleep.
“How did she get sick all of a sudden?” Elizabeth asked.
Elara glanced at Alexander, snorted, and said, “Ask him!”
Elizabeth looked up, meeting Alexander’s eyes.
She hesitated, then asked, “Are you alright?”
Her voice was so gentle, it made Alexander feel guilty. Had she overheard his conversation with Elara?
“What happened to him?” Elara asked Elizabeth.
Elizabeth replied, “He had a social thing last night, drank too much, and messed up his stomach.”
Elara was speechless for a moment, then sighed.
Alexander didn’t want to drag it out. “I told Grandma about our divorce.”
Elizabeth froze. She glared at Alexander, furious. How could he? Lily’s health couldn’t take that kind of shock!
Elizabeth rubbed her temples, almost gritting her teeth. “Mr. Tudor, are you out of your mind?”
Alex, cool as a cucumber, just said, “Yep.”
Liz was stunned. How could he be so smug?
Alex shot her a look, a hint of bitterness in his voice. “Everyone’s talking about your engagement to Joe, Even if I kept quiet, my grandma would hear. Wouldn’t she?”
“Those are just tabloid lies. She wouldn’t buy it!” Liz snapped back. But by doing this, Alex had basically confirmed the rumors. No wonder Lily was freaking out.
Elara watched them, feeling all sorts of things.
Liz wanted to say more but noticed Elara still there. She grabbed Alex’s arm and dragged him outside.
Alex glanced at her pale wrist and her fingers. Her grip was light, just enough to hold him. With her back to him, he noticed the butterfly tattoo. First time seeing it up close, and the skin underneath was rough

He couldn’t help but reach out, almost touching the tattoo when Liz suddenly shoved him against the wall.
Alex gulped. The tattoo was right where Esme had been hurt. He looked down at her.
Liz, looking pissed, asked, “Why’d you go and tell Lily about our divorce?
Alexander felt like he was the one who wanted the divorce the least. Elizabeth? She was all in for it.
