Unrepairable Love

Chapter 246

Alexander whispered, “Let go.”

“No,” Eume said, her eyes red and looking pitiful.

Elizabeth saw Esme clinging to Alexander’s waist, frowned, and said, “I checked on Grandma. They’re…”

She turned to leave.

“Elizabeth,” Alexander called out instinctively.

Elizabeth looked back at him, her eyes landing on his. Alexander frowned, their eyes meeting. After a pause, he said, “Let’s talk after work.”

Elizabeth held his gaze, sensing his doubt and resentment. She nodded quietly. “Okay.” She figured she’d take the blame again. With a bitter smile, she sighed silently and walked away.

Alexander watched her go, then turned to Esme. “You can let go now!” He knew what Esme was up to.

Esme let go and watched his expression closely. He didn’t scold me, so he must be okay with it. I can push farther next time, she thought.

“Alexander, I’ll go with you to see Mrs. Tudor,” Esme said, standing up.

Alexander straightened his clothes and brushed off where Esme had bugged him. “No, she just woke up and isn’t well.” Esme visiting would only upset Lily more.

“Alexander, Mrs. Tudor still doesn’t accept me,” Esme said sadly.

“She will. It’s just a matter of time.” Alexander called Nolan. “Come and take Ms. Russell home.”

After hanging up, Esme stopped. She watched Alexander enter the emergency room, her eyes dimming. She still couldn’t get into his heart.

In the hospital room, Alexander felt guilty looking at Lily on the bed. Lily’s face was pale, and she wore an oxygen mask, looking very weak. Nick said her life was in constant danger.

Alexander frowned. Lily didn’t want to look at him. She turned to Era and asked, “Elizabeth?” Her voice was soft, mist forming on the oxygen mask.

Flora nodded. “Elizabeth is working. She’ll come after.”

“News,” Lily said with difficulty.

“Blake is handling it. Don’t worry. It won’t affect the family,” Blata assured her.

But the news was still spreading. Blake was trying to suppress it, but others were pushing it. Online and in newspapers, headlines screamed: #Alexander’s Affair! Alexander and Elizabeth’s Marriage Crisis! The Third Party is Esme, The Three are in a Tangled Relationship!

It seemed like they wanted a resolution: either the rumors were false, or Alexander and Elizabeth would divorce, giving Esme a status.

Alexander knew staying would only make Lily uncomfortable, so he left early. As Elizabeth was about to get off work, he waited for her outside the hospital. Leaning against the car, he ignored the hidden paparazzi. One hand in his pocket, the other holding his phone, he read a text from Nolan.

Nolan: Mr. Tudor, I found out about the divorce.
