Lysander glanced at Crispin, his mood not exactly cheerful at the moment.

Crispin asked, "Are you still worried about Elara?"

Lysander replied, "I should've handled this sooner."

It wouldn't have escalated to this point otherwise.

"This isn't your fault." Crispin looked at Lysander and said, "No one can have everything go their way."

Just then, Aubrey came out. "Lysander, Dad's calling for you."

Hearing this, Lysander walked inside.

Wyatt looked at him, noting his tense expression. "I know you've had a rough time. I'll go to the Kensington family personally to apologize."

Although he'd let Orson go, Wyatt still felt it was important to console his son and prevent any lingering resentment. Lysander glanced at his father and replied, "I'm heading back to the hospital."

Wyatt said, "Go ahead! I'll come over later."

Elara was still at the hospital, where Harold was in the room, chatting with Barrett. "You shouldn't have brought Elara to Starfield City. Starfield City sucks. Wasn't Brookfield good enough?

Natalie looked over at her. "You alright?"

"I'm fine," Elara replied.

Natalie commented, "Good thing Asher didn't go around saying things. He's got at least a bit of conscience."

As soon as she said this, Asher walked over. "Talking about me?"

Natalie looked at him. "I said you have some sense of decency! You know how to keep

distance."

Asher glanced at Elara, who was looking right back at him. "I'm not a bad person! It was Orson who approached me, wanting me to cooperate with him. I'm a good guy. I wouldn't do something like that."

"Oh, really?" Elara couldn't help but laugh at his self-assessment. You just figured it wasn't worth crossing the Hawthorne family, right?"
