Unrepairable Love

Chapter 206

Alexander grabbed Elizabeth’s wrist, spun her around, and shoved her against the wall. The butterfly tattoo on Elizabeth’s back immediately caught his eye. Alexander’s brow twitched, and a blurry image of a girl’s face flashed in his mind. His breathing grew heavier.

Pressed against the wall, Elizabeth turned her head and glared at him, struggling as she cursed, “Let go!”

Alexander stared at the tattoo, his throat tightening. He pressed harder and asked, “How did you get this scar?”

Elizabeth snapped, “Let go, or I’ll…” he demanded.

Alexander looked at her, his thick eyelashes casting shadows in the dim restroom light. “Answer me!” he demanded.

Elizabeth turned her head away, feeling humiliated. Alexander felt uneasy. He couldn’t shake the feeling that Elizabeth’s scar was significant. He thought, Could there really be two women with the same scar? Elizabeth said she got it from falling on a vase as a child. I remember in high school, she loved wearing pretty dresses and had no scars. The man in prison said the person who saved me was Esme. But Elizabeth never showed up when I was in the hospital. She loved me so much, how could she not appear when I was injured? So, how did she get this scar? If she saved me, why wouldn’t she say so?

“Elizabeth, be honest. This scar, did you save…”

Alexander’s words were cut off. Someone outside the door called, “Alexander.” Both turned their heads.

Esme looked uncomfortable, biting her lower lip. “What are you two doing?”

Elizabeth’s heart skipped a beat. What is Alexander about to ask?

“Alexander, is this why you brought me here?” Esme’s eyes trembled, her voice full of grievance. “Because Elizabeth and Mr. Stewart are here?”

Alexander frowned and unconsciously released Elizabeth. Elizabeth looked at Alexander, whose eyes were filled with complex emotions. He slowly said, “It was a coincidence.”

Elizabeth rubbed her wrist, hurt by his grip. Esme’s tears began to fall. “Alexander, what have I done wrong?” She had been outside the whole time and heard their conversation. It turned out that Alexander never fully believed she was the one who saved him.

Esme felt truly aggrieved. Aside from taking credit for saving Alexander, she had been sincere with him.

“Alexander, I…” Esme’s words were cut off as she suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed. Alexander immediately rushed forward. “Esme!”

Elizabeth watched as he picked up Esme and hurried out. She quietly followed, watching them enter the elevator. Alexander looked up and met Elizabeth’s indifferent gaze from outside the elevator. He seemed to have something to say. Elizabeth smiled slightly, her expression stiff. As the elevator doors closed, she lowered her head, let out a bitter laugh, and shook her head.

“When did Esme’s health become so frail?”

Elizabeth looked up and met his eyes. Joseph’s voice suddenly came from beside her. He was holding her bag and raised an eyebrow. Elizabeth seriously considered his question. It seemed that ever since Alexander was kidnapped, Esme had been frequently ill.

“Let’s go,” Joseph said.
