Unrepairable Love
Chapter 524
“Just kicked her out like that? Aren’t you worried she’ll come back with her family?” Alexander asked Elara, barely paying attention
as he watched the news.
Elara snorted, “You think it’s funny, don’t you? If I hadn’t shown up what would you have done?”
“I’d have done the same–thrown her and her stuff out, maybe even less politely, Alexander replied, still scrolling through his phone for info on Sheldon and the research institute where Elizabeth worked.
Elara shot him a glare. “If you were that kind of person, I wouldn’t have found her in this room.”
“She was only here for a few minutes,” Alexander said, finally looking at Elara. “Weren’t you not coming?”
“I just finished a dinner meeting and was passing by. I have something to tell you about Elizabeth, Elara said, pouring herself a glass of water.
“Jadeite Tower?” Alexander interrupted.
Elara was stunned. “How did you know?”
“Kieran came by,” Alexander said matter–of–factly.
Elara laughed. “Kieran’s always got the latest scoop.”
“So, what’s your plan?” she asked.
“Her inauguration ceremony needs to be grand,” Elara reminded him.
“I know,” Alexander replied.
“But it can’t be too over the top. Elizabeth’s still pretty resistant to you,” Elara said.
Is there still a future for Elizabeth and Alexander? Even if they don’t end up together, could they at least be friends? They shouldn’t be at odds like before!‘ Elara thought hopefully.
“I know, thanks, Mom,” Alexander said politely. He didn’t mention his plans to leave the hospital. If she knew, she’d definitely be
upset.
“Alright, since you know, I’ll head back,” Elara said, looking busy. But Alexander had no idea what she was busy with.
The room finally quieted down. Alexander asked Nolan to find out who’d be at the inauguration ceremony tomorrow.
There’d be several big names from the research institute, some of Sheldon’s friends, and a bunch of reporters. Alexander started to
form a plan.
The next day, Elizabeth woke up to encouraging messages in the family group chat.
Celine: [I can’t be there, but I wish you the best.]
Grant: [If Celine isn’t going, I won’t either! But I sincerely wish you well!]
Rose: [There’s a major jewelry exhibition in Lisbon, so I’m super busy. Sorry! I wish you all the best in your new role.]

David: [I’ve been running between the office and the hospital, but I come if I can. This is your first big role, and I wish you all the best and hope you meet people who will help you!]
Elizabeth smiled at their messages. It was good that everyone was busy; if they were all free, it would mean something was wrong at
home.
Elizabeth: [Got all your blessings, thank you everyone! I’ll be back soon!]
After sending the message, Elizabeth quickly got ready.
At Jadeite Tower, Sheldon had arranged a grand setup for Elizabeth, with the entire reception hall filled with news about her and the research institute.
Elizabeth’s personal photo matched the institute’s theme, and just looking at her picture made people feel good.
The photo was taken when she joined the institute. She was wearing a lab coat and smiling slightly at the camera, a very standard ID photo, but still beautiful.
Elizabeth was backstage doing her makeup, and Sheldon had ordered coffee for her, taking good care of her.
Elizabeth looked at the questions the reporters were going to ask and already had answers in mind. Seemingly ordinary questions, but each one was actually quite tricky!
