Chapter 218

Elizabeth looked up, one hand on her shoulder. Lily and Elara rushed in, worry etched on their faces.

“Elizabeth, what happened? We came as soon as we saw the news!” Lily said, scanning her up and down.

Elizabeth thought of her family arriving so quickly. Compared to Linda, she felt incredibly lucky.

“Grandma, I’m fine,” Elizabeth spread her arms, almost ready to jump out of bed.

“I saw the news saying you were held hostage, and it scared me to death!” Lily tapped her on the head.

Seeing Elizabeth was okay, Elara sighed in relief.

“Grandma, Mom, I’m sorry for making you worry,” Elizabeth said, looking pitiful.

Elara and Lily exchanged glances and burst into laughter. “At a time like this, and you’re still feeling sorry for yourself!”

“Isn’t it because you all spoil me so much?” Elizabeth hugged Lily, being as gentle as ever.

Lily stroked her hair, genuinely fond of her. But thinking about Elizabeth no longer being part of the Tudor family made her incredibly sad.

“Alexander said yesterday that you two went to file for divorce this morning,” Lily asked, quietly, not understanding why she hadn’t heard from the court.

Elizabeth paused and said awkwardly, “Grandma, I lost my driving license. It’ll take a few days.”

Hearing this, Lily’s eyes lit up.

“Great!” Lily couldn’t help but laugh.

Elizabeth squinted.

Lily cleared her throat and said seriously, “Elizabeth, you’re too careless!”

Elizabeth sighed. “Grandma, if you want to laugh, just laugh.” Didn’t she know what Lily was thinking? Lily didn’t want Elizabeth and Alexander to divorce; delaying it even a day was good.

Lily felt a bit embarrassed.

Elara pouted and said, “Elizabeth, you and Alexander have tried to file for divorce so many times without success. Don’t you think it’s a sign from God?”

“Is it because of you?” Elizabeth said bluntly, her gaze falling on…

The first time Elizabeth and Alexander tried to file for divorce, Lily suspected Nolan tattled. He went to the villa. Was that a coincidence? It must have been…

The second time they filed for divorce, although Grant was sick and hospitalized, the court was also delaying! Wasn’t that Lily’s doing too?

The third time, Elizabeth lost her driving license, and this was the only uncertain factor.

Lily touched her nose and cleared her throat to hide her embarrassment. She thought she had hidden these things well, but Elizabeth knew everything.

“Elizabeth,” Elara suddenly sat down and smiled, “Do you want to eat ravioli? I’ll make you some ravioli.”

Elizabeth thought for a moment; it seemed it had been a long time since she had Elara’s ravioli.

Elizabeth nodded.

“I’ll bring it over tonight!” Elara said.

Elizabeth smiled. “Mom, thank you.”

“You’re welcome. We’re family!” Elara pulled Lily. “Mom, let’s go home and make ravioli for Elizabeth.”

“Leaving already? I wanted to spend more time with Elizabeth!” Lily pouted like a child.

“We’ll come back tonight!” Elara said.

Lily thought for a moment and had to nod. “Alright.”

Elizabeth saw them off and breathed a sigh of relief. A text message came in on her phone.

Lila: [Elizabeth, are you okay?]

Felix: [Boss, I’ll come by to see you later.]

Joseph: [In a meeting, I’ll come by later.]

Elizabeth once again felt truly fortunate. She leaned against the headboard, her gaze drifting out the window.
