Unrepairable Love

Chapter 472

Elizabeth glanced up, catching a glimpse of Declan’s hack. A father’s love was often unspoken. People said some folks couldn’t be chased. But in Elizabeth’s world, Declan was chuseable. Eventually, Declan would struggle to keep up with his beloved daughter.

Rose frowned; clearly, Declan hadn’t run this by her.

Declan turned, locking eyes with Elizabeth, and said seriously, “If helg abroad makes you feel free, then go. It’s better than you constantly ending up in the hospital here!”

Elizabeth felt a pang of guilt. Over the years, she had caused Declan so much heartache. She watched him age, while she hid away, unhappy with life. Elizabeth had never felt like such a failure. This past year, she felt like a complete mess.

Rose cried quietly, the sound reaching Elizabeth’s ears. Whenever Elizabeth looked at her, Rose would force a slight smile, not realizing those tear-filled eyes made Elizabeth heartache.

Elizabeth lowered her head, not saying a word. Soon, Nick came in with the doctor for rounds.

“Mr. York.” Rose and Declan both stepped forward.

Nick nodded. “I’ve reviewed all the reports, and everything looks fine. Just get some good rest.” He believed Elizabeth would pull herself together. Given Elizabeth’s status, he didn’t need to say much more.

“Seems like last night’s cruise party wasn’t great.” Nick asked the doctor to leave and chatted with Elizabeth, “You’re in good shape and Esme is fine too, but two people aren’t doing well.”

Elizabeth looked at Nick, a bit confused.

Nick explained, “It’s Alexander and Ivan. Alexander is still in a coma with a high fever. Ivan has a big scar on his stomach that got soaked last night, and now the whole wound is infected. He’s also running a high fever.”

Elizabeth was stunned. It was Ivan who jumped in to save her last night.

“Which room is Ivan in?” Elizabeth asked.

This surprised Rose and Declan a bit. They thought Elizabeth would ask about Alexander. But she asked about Ivan.

“Right next door.” Nick pointed to the next room.

Elizabeth nodded. Nick blinked, thinking she was going to ask which room Alexander was in. He waited for a bit. Seeing that Elizabeth didn’t ask, he went on with his work.

After Nick left, Elizabeth tried to get out of bed. Rose immediately held her down and asked, “Where are you going?”

“I’m going to check on Ivan,” Elizabeth explained, “He saved me when I fell.”

“Ivan saved you? Are you familiar with him?” Rose didn’t stop her.

Elizabeth put on a coat and shook her head. “Not really. We’ve met.”

“I’m fine now. You go ahead with your work.” Elizabeth put on her slippers.

Declan and Rose exchanged glances, their faces showing content. They worried about Elizabeth all the time.

Elizabeth walked up to Declan and hugged him. “I won’t break your heart again.”

“You’d better not!” Declan’s tone was stern.

Elizabeth nodded and went to see Ivan.
