The ward was usually pretty boring, but when Kieran showed up, it got a little more lively.

“Kieran, perfect timing. I need to handle something, so can you stay with Alexander for a bit?” Elara said after taking a call.

Kieran nodded. “Sure, no problem. I’ve got nothing else going on, so I’ll hang out with him.”

Elara left. Kieran glanced outside, quickly shut the door, and plopped down on the single sofa by the window. He crossed his legs and folded his arms. “Alright, spill it. What went down after the cruise party?”

He had been stuck below deck during the party. Everyone had rushed to the deck, but he couldn’t get up there. By the time he did, everyone was gone, and Alexander had been moved. After that, Alexander was in a coma, and the Tudor family was clueless about what happened. Then Kieran heard Alexander woke up, but when he came to visit, Alexander was gone again. Later, he got word that Alexander had slipped back into a coma.

Kieran was baffled. Alexander was usually healthy, but he was in a coma so often lately. Plus, the other four people rescued from the cruise were fine; only Alexander had issues! Earlier, Kieran saw the news that Alexander had knelt before Elizabeth. Kieran was totally floored!

“Are you here to make fun of me?” Alexander asked weakly.

Kieran quickly said, “Alexander, are you really that weak?”

Alexander was annoyed and shot him a glare.

“I was shocked you knelt before Elizabeth, but I bet Esme was even more shocked and hurt, right?” Kieran said.

Alexander snapped, “Don’t mention Esme in front of me.”

“What happened?” Kieran looked curious.

Alexander was silent for a bit. Finally, he said, “Esme isn’t the one who saved me.”

Kieran was stunned. ‘Esme didn’t save him? So, he knelt before Elizabeth… could Elizabeth be the one who saved him?’ Kieran wondered. His eyes widened, and he looked at Alexander in disbelief. “Seriously…”

“Is there any doubt?” Alexander glared at him, clearly frustrated. “Elizabeth saved you, right?” Kieran asked.

Alexander nodded.

Hearing Alexander admit it, Kieran was even more shocked. So, Alexander married Esme thinking she was his “savior,” and he divorced the real “savior” for Esme. And Alexander had hurt Elizabeth deeply. Kieran could hardly believe it. “How could Esme do that?”

Kieran wondered how Esme got the nerve to deceive Alexander like this. Alexander slowly sat up, leaning against the headboard. The pull on the wound on his chest made him wince in pain. It hurt. But thinking about Elizabeth suffering similarly, he didn’t dare show any sign of pain.

“I just saw Elizabeth,” Kieran said, blinking and pointing outside.

Alexander looked up, thinking, He saw Elizabeth?

Kieran added, “You just woke up. Celine had a car accident; I just saw Elizabeth, and she didn’t look well.”

Hearing this, Alexander’s heart tightened.

Kieran didn’t know what to say. “Alexander, you guys…”

Kieran wanted to ask what would happen next—now that things had escalated to this point.
