Chapter 511
Alexander wonโt let Esme go, and neither will the Tudor family. In the silence, Elara heard Alexander say, โElizabeth is gone.โ Thinking of Elizabethโs determined back when she left, Alexander felt deep heartache.
โGone?โ Elara asked, confused.
Alexander nodded. โI tried to stop her, but she didnโt stay. She went abroad.โ
At this, Elara chuckled, understanding. Elizabeth was going abroad.
โCeline had an accident,โ she told Alexander. โSo, Elizabeth didnโt leave.โ
Alexander was stunned. โCeline had an accident? What happened to her?โ he asked, wondering what had happened while he was out cold.
Elara said seriously, โThe rain was too heavy that day, and there was a car accident on the way back, a chain collision. Celine was involved.โ
Alexander was shocked and asked, โIs Celine seriously hurt?โ
โThe news hasnโt been released yet, but according to insiders, it doesnโt look good,โ Elara said with a complicated expression. Elara had met Declan and wanted to ask about the situation, but Declan ignored her and ran off when he saw her. Elara felt helpless, knowing they had wronged the Percy family, and felt too embarrassed to ask further.
โAnd Elizabeth?โ Alexanderโs expression grew more complex. Elizabeth and Celine had the best relationship, and Elizabeth was also Celineโs favorite. If something happened to Celine, what would Elizabeth do? Could she handle the pressure? Alexander thought.
The phone on the bedside table rang again. Elara said with a tone of irritation, โDuring the days you were unconscious, Esme kept calling and texting you. She even called me. I answered once and told Esme not to contact you again. But she didnโt listen and came to the hospital twice to see you, and I refused her.โ
Elara added, โAlexander, as your mother, itโs my responsibility to educate you. Iโm warning you once again, cut ties with Esme completely! You must handle this cleanly!โ
Elara was so stern that Alexander didnโt dare disobey. Even if Elara hadnโt said anything, Alexander would have cut ties with Esme himself. He hated deception the most, and Esme had played him.
Alexander picked up his phone and scrolled through the messages. Most of them were from Esme.
Esme: [I really know I was wrong. Iโm sorry; I love you.]
Esme: [Alexander, forgive me. Even if we canโt be partners in the future, I still want to be your friend. Please, give me another chance, okay?]
Esme: [I didnโt mean to deceive you. I just wanted you to notice me]
She had sent many messages. But no matter the reason, deceiving him and her best friend Elizabeth was still her fault. Alexander deleted all the messages from Esme.
โElara, has Alexander woken up?โ Kieranโs voice came from outside the door.
Alexander looked up to see Kieran walking in with a lot of things, dressed in a black suit.
โAlexander, youโre awake?โ Kieran nudged Alexanderโs arm and smiled. โYou sure slept long enough!โ
