Unrepairable Love

Chapter 271

Elizabeth uniled without saying a word. Felix looked at her, feeling happy inside. Elizabeth met Alexander’s deep gaze and said, “Mr. Tudor, thank you.” She then glanced at Lila, signaling it was time to leave. Alexander’s face was complicated, like he had a lot to say but just watched her go.

Lila squeezed through the crowd to the betting table and said, “I bet on the red side and won.” The people at the table gave her a look. After a nod from Frank, they handed her all the money, plus some extra. Lila carefully collected the cash. Someone bumped into her, making her stumble. Suddenly, Kieran grabbed her arm. Lila looked up and steadied herself.

“Are you okay?” Kieran asked, concerned. Lila shook her head, thanked him, and went to find Elizabeth and Felix. She thought she wouldn’t come to places like this again. Kieran watched her leave and chuckled, thinking, Even big stars come here?

“Mr. Tudor, I’ve let Elizabeth go. Can we forget tonight?” Frank said, snapping Kieran back to reality. Kieran crossed his arms and looked at Alexander. Alexander looked upset, like Frank had wronged someone he cared about deeply. No wonder Elizabeth was so determined to marry Alexander back then. When Alexander cared for someone, it was hard not to be moved.

“Keep your people in check,” Alexander told Frank, then looked at Kieran, “Kieran, let’s go.” Kieran nodded and followed, turning to Shane, “Let’s grab a coffee sometime.” Shane waved with a smile. Frank watched them leave, wiping sweat from his forehead. He thought, “Why didn’t anyone tell me Alexander and Kieran were coming to Eaglecrest Mountain?” “Mr. Patterson,” Gregory called out. Frank slapped Gregory’s head, “You didn’t assess the situation before calling me!”

Luckily, they didn’t harm Elizabeth, or Eaglecrest Mountain would be untriable. Victor was sobbing nearby. Frank sighed, “Useless, go see a doctor. You can’t even outrun a woman.” “She’s not an ordinary woman,” someone in the crowd said. Everyone looked around but couldn’t find who spoke. Not an ordinary woman, who could it be? Stee?

Telis drove away from Eaglecrest Mountain. Elizabeth leaned on Lila’s shoulder, resting. Lila counted money, “I made more than acting.” Elizabeth chuckled. Lila sighed and put the money away. “Why the sigh?” Elizabeth asked, looking at her. “I’m thinking about Alexander,” Lila said, looking at Elizabeth. Elizabeth paused, her mood dampened.

“He always stands up for you,” Lila said. “But why can’t he love you? After all these years, what does your effort mean?” Lila touched Elizabeth’s back, whispering, “What does this scar mean?” Elizabeth felt a sharp pain in her heart. She thought, It means I once loved Alexander.
