Chapter 474
Elizabeth saw his shock and couldn’t help but laugh. She grabbed an apple from the bedside table, picked up a fruit knife, and asked, “Why do you look so surprised?”
Is it really that hard to believe I could pull off something amazing he wondered.
Ivan swallowed hard, his eyes shifting from shock to a mix of emotions. “Elizabeth,” he called out.
She looked up, calm as ever. “Yeah?”
Ivan gritted his teeth as she cut a small piece of apple for him.
Do you know why Alexander has to murry Esme?” His voice was calm but tinged with helplessness.
Elizabeth, intrigued, cut herself a piece of apple. “Why else? If a guys dead set on marrying a girl, it’s gotta be love, right?”
“Do you really not know?” Ivan pressed.
Elizabeth paused, her eyes filling with confusion.
Should I know something about Alexander marrying Esme? Isn’t it because he likes her? No way. He dotes on her so much, if that not love, what is? she thought.
“Love can be faked,” Ivan reminded her. “What you see might not be the truth ”
Elizabeth raised an eyebrow. True, love could be faked. But Alexander didn’t even bother to fake it with her, which made her feel like
a total failure.
“You should have a good talk with Alexander, Ivan suggested.
Elizabeth slowly put down the apple. She seemed to get what Ivan was hinting at.
“Tell Alexander I saved him, and then what? Make him feel sorry for me? Use that to get a bit of love from him? Ivan, I can’t do that, she shook her head.
She didn’t want to manipulate Alexander. The love she wanted had to be pure, without any strings attached.
Ivan looked helpless and anxious. “Elizabeth, don’t you get it? I mean, you should let Alexander know it was you who saved him!”
“Me?” Elizabeth caught the k
key words.
Ivan nodded. “Yes, don’t you know it was Esme… Ivan’s words were cut off.
The door suddenly opened.
Ivan and Elizabeth looked up.
“Esme?” Ivan frowned.
Esme, wearing a hospital gown, walked in slowly, her eyes carrying
indescribable smile.
“Mr. Shawn, Ms. Percy, what are you talking about? I think I heard my name,” Esme said as she walked over to the bedside
