Unrepairable Love

Chapter 600

Alexander took the water Nolan handed him but couldn't bring himself to drink it. He set the cup down, got out of bed, and said, “No more IVs. I’m heading to the office.”

“Mr. Tudor, you can’t skip it,” Nolan called after him.

Alexander grabbed his suit jacket and walked out. A passing nurse also called out, “Mr. Tudor, have you finished your IM?”

Nolan picked up the medication and followed him. The hallway was packed, and everyone was staring at Alexander, drawn to his presence. He put on his clothes and left the emergency room. Just a few steps down the stairs, he saw Elizabeth standing by the car. She was on the phone. When she looked up, their eyes met.

Alexander stopped and called out, “Elizabeth,” just as she turned to get in the car. Elizabeth ignored him and got into the car, still talking on the phone. She was planning to head back to the research institute, but a call about some data came in, and she couldn’t drive while talking, so she decided to finish the call before leaving.

Alexander stood there, watching her get into the car, then looked at Nolan, who had said Elizabeth was worried about him. It turned out it was just Nolan’s lie. Nolan felt awkward. But Elizabeth had instinctively asked if Alexander had been drinking, which did seem like a concern.

Alexander really wanted to say a few more words to Elizabeth, but he had to admit he didn’t know how to start. Every time he faced Elizabeth’s cold expression, he felt uneasy. And he couldn’t imagine how Elizabeth used to deal with his coldness back then.

“When’s Declan’s birthday?” he asked Nolan.

“The day after tomorrow,” Nolan replied.

“We should think about what gift to get. And we’re going to visit,” Alexander said in a deep voice.

Nolan nodded. “Yes, Mr. Tudor.”

Even though Alexander might get kicked out, he still had to go. He sighed, watching Elizabeth’s car drive away.

In the evening, Charles was hosting at the restaurant. Natalia had just returned to the country.

Chapter 600

Elizabeth arrived in a trench coat. As she pushed open the private room door, the whole family was there. They waved at Elizabeth, saying they had been waiting for her, and asked why she was so late.

Elizabeth thought, There’s nothing happier in the world than this. “Traffic jam,” she said as she took off her coat and approached the table. And she immediately saw Natalia.

Natalia was stunning and quite a standout. She was the most eye-catching person at the table. She was Charles’s daughter, only 22. Charles doted on her immensely. When she wanted to enter the entertainment industry, Charles immediately agreed to let her take a break from school and invested generously to help her get in. She was rather willful and often made negative headlines, so she hadn’t become a superstar yet. But she was a good actress and very pretty. She had played many lead roles and received good reviews. Today, she was wearing a white velvet dress, which looked very expensive. In contrast, Elizabeth’s t-shirt and pants looked much simpler.

“Our family’s big shot is finally here.” Natalia sneered, full of sarcasm. She really didn’t like Elizabeth. When Elizabeth wasn’t around, everyone would focus on her. But as soon as Elizabeth arrived, everyone would start fussing over her, leaving Natalia out.
