After Death, Love Unveiled

After dealing with everything, Crispin looked at Natalie and said "Miss Jarvis, go rest. I'll handle things here. Don't worry. The doctor said aside from a broken leg, he's mostly fine. "Hmph, scum like him is lucky I didn't beat him to death. I'm being so generous."

Natalie glanced over at Curtis, recalling their marriage. Back when they used to travel together, he had been so kind and attentive. Now, she couldn't understand how he had changed so drastically. Her phone started ringing. Natalie looked at the screen and saw it was Grace calling. Without a second thought, she blocked the number.

Natalie had often heard people say that marriage could lead to difficult in-law relationships. She'd always thought if she tried to be thoughtful, it would prevent problems from arising.

But it turned out that kindness only invited more trouble. The nicer she was, the more they took advantage of her.

Natalie returned to the hospital room and spent some time chatting with Elara. Lysander had stepped out for a bit. Seeing Elara injured like this brought tears to Natalie's eyes. Elara noticed. "Why are you crying?" Natalie lowered her head. "I just feel like this whole marriage thing is pointless. I spend every day taking care of her at the hospital, and in the end, this is what I get."

"It's not too late to end things," Elara said, watching her closely. "Uncle Harold is already on his way. When he gets here, he'll take you home. Hazel will handle the divorce, and you won't have to deal with them anymore." Elara was genuinely concerned about Natalie. She couldn't imagine what might happen if Natalie continued putting up with them. Natalie looked at Elara, her eyes still red.

Not long after, Harold arrived. When he saw Natalie and Elara both injured, he paused for a moment before coming over. Natalie didn't speak; she just sat there, quietly wiping away her tears.

"Hello, Uncle Harold." Elara greeted him.

"Are you alright, Elara?" Harold asked.

"I'm fine," Elara replied. "It's Natalie who got hurt. You should take her to rest first."

Harold turned to Natalie. "Come on. Let's go." Harold took Natalie back home, while Elara returned with Lysander.

With Juan there to look after her, Elara didn't need to stay in the hospital, Lysander's place was as well-equipped as any hospital.

When Barrett heard about Elara's injury, he hurried over. Elara was sitting at the dining table, cheerfully enjoying her food. Barrett looked at her and asked, "Is it serious?"

Lysander answered, "Very serious." To him, even a scratch on Elara's finger was worth exaggerating.

Seeing Lysander so intent on misleading Barrett, Elara clarified. "Dad, I'm fine. Really, I'm perfectly okay."

Barrett came over and inspected her. "Perfectly okay? You're way too reckless."
