Chapter 244

Elara and Lily looked at Alexander, waiting for his response. Alexander kept his head down but knelt straight. He moved his lips and then heard the reporter on TV say, “Alexander spent a fortune to buy the airport land for Esme, to build a manor for her.”

Blake, hearing this, got a bit angry. “You offended the Stewart family just to make Esme happy? Alexander, are you out of your mind?”

“Dad, no,” Alexander quickly explained, “I have my own plans. It’s not for Esme.”

Lily snorted, “You clarified that fast. Why didn’t you answer his question earlier?”

Lily was too aggressive. Alexander couldn’t help but complain, “Grandma, I said I couldn’t make Elizabeth happy. You forced me to marry her!”

“What do you mean by that? Are you blaming us for your failed marriage?” Lily immediately stood up.

“Isn’t it? When you and Mom forced me to marry Elizabeth, didn’t you think this problem would arise one day?” Alexander shot back.

Lily’s face turned red with anger. “How is Elizabeth any worse than Esme? Do you think my judgment would harm you? You’re obsessed and unreasonable!” Lily scolded.

Alexander stood up and shouted, “No matter what, I must marry Esme!”

“Why? You have to give us a reason!” Lily glared at him, her voice rising.

Alexander stared at Lily, his lips moving. Esme had told him not to tell his family that she had saved him. She wanted to win them over on her own merits, not out of obligation or charity for her rescue. She didn’t want love out of pity; she wanted to earn it herself. But with the Tudor family resisting her so much, should he still keep it a secret?

“Just because Esme…”

Alexander gritted his teeth and said in a fit of anger, “Just…”

Before Alexander could finish, he saw Lily suddenly clutching her chest. “Medicine!”

Elara hurriedly called out, “Mom!”

Blake quickly went to get the medicine. Alexander was stunned, watching Lily collapse onto the sofa. Lily’s hand hung beside the sofa, her face turning red from her neck up, clearly unable to breathe.

“Grandma,” Alexander stepped forward.

Lily frowned but still pushed him away. She thought, Don't touch.

Blake quickly gave Lily the medicine, and Alexander didn’t delay; he immediately picked Lily up to take her to the hospital!

Even though they were arguing, Alexander still loved Lily in his heart. He knew Lily was doing it for his own good. He also understood that Elizabeth was the most suitable choice for him. But he couldn’t let Esme down!

After Lily was okay, he would confess to them that the reason he wanted to marry Esme was that she had saved him when he had been kidnapped!

At the hospital, hearing that Lily was in trouble, Elizabeth hurried to the emergency room. Seeing Elizabeth, Elara stepped forward. “Elizabeth.”

“How’s Grandma?” Elizabeth asked.

Elara shook her head. “She should be fine, right?”

Alexander was coming back from paying the fees and saw Elizabeth, instinctively frowning. Elizabeth and Alexander exchanged a glance but said nothing.

Someone hurriedly rushed to the emergency room door. Elizabeth looked up and saw that it was Esme. Esme was wearing a white dress, with light makeup on her face. Every time she saw Alexander, she would dress up carefully, and today was no exception.

“Alexander, I heard Mrs. Tudor is in trouble,” Esme said softly.
