Chapter 494
Alexander took the hit from Felix without a word.
Elizabeth turned away, unsure how to face him.
Ivan watched them both and let out a heavy sigh.
Even though Ivan secretly wished for Alexander and Elizabeth to split up, and for Elizabeth to move on, Alexander was still his best buddy. And all their drama started because of Esme.
He still hoped Alexander would man up, apologize, and make things right with Elizabeth.
After what felt like forever, Alexander finally spoke, his voice rough, Elizabeth, we need to talk.
Felix looked ready to blow up again, but Ivan grabbed him and said, “Let’s go.”
‘Let them hash it out alone,‘ Ivan thought. In the past three years, they probably never had a real conversation.
Felix grumbled, “How can I leave Elizabeth alone with him? She’s never safe around him!”
Every time Elizabeth was with Alexander, trouble followed.
Alexander felt a pang of guilt.
Nolan rushed over, relieved to see Elizabeth still there, and gave her a quick nod.
Elizabeth didn’t say anything, just nodded back and checked the time.
The person in charge reminded her it was time to board the plane.
Elizabeth nodded again.
Alexander frowned and grabbed her wrist. “Elizabeth, I’m sorry!”
Elizabeth looked at him, her eyes calm and distant.
His voice was desperate. She’d never seen him this panicked before. His hand was burning hot, gripping her tightly, making her
frown..
“Elizabeth,” He called her name over and over, not knowing what to say.
Elizabeth pursed her lips, gently pulled his hand away, and said softly, “You don’t need to say anything. Take care of yourself.”
Alexander was sick. His fever hadn’t gone down.
Elizabeth wasn’t being soft; she just didn’t need to hear his apology. The damage he’d done couldn’t be fixed with a simple “sorry.”
If they missed their chance in this life, so be it.
She used to feel regret because she loved him for so many years and got nothing in return, which made her very bitter. But now, she didn’t feel that way anymore.
Gaining or losing, it was all fate. She was destined not to be with Alexander.

Chapter 494
Alexander listened to her words, feeling a deep unease.
When someone didn’t even need an apology, It meant they were truly done, and it also meant Alexander had completely lost Elizabeth.
“Elizabeth, I didn’t know.” He looked at her, his eyelashes trembling really didn’t know.” His voice cracked, ‘I didn’t know it was you who saved me back then!”
He was unconscious at the time. The first person he saw when he wake up was Esme.
Esme claimed she saved him and had scars to prove it. Nolan had checked, and it seemed true,
But Alexander forgot why Elizabeth, who loved him so much, suddenly vanished after he was rescued.
“If you knew, would you love me because of it?” Elizabeth asked with a sad smile.
He didn’t know how to answer.
“Back then, your love for me would be just like your love for Esme. It would be because I saved you, and you’d feel obligated.” Her
smile was so faint.

Alexander shook his head. His usually confident stance was gone. His always spirited look was completely shattered today. His defeated appearance made people wonder if this was really Alexander.
“Elizabeth, I’m sorry. I hurt you. I know a simple ‘sorry‘ can’t fix anything.” He stepped forward, his steps feeling unsteady.
He gently placed his hands on her shoulders, his eyes full of regret and helplessness. “Elizabeth, it was only after we separated that I realized.”
