After Death, Love Unveiled

Chapter 167

Elara stood up and said to Lysander, "You should go back. I'm staying here tonight to be with my dad."

She tried hard to keep her emotions in check, but she still felt herself trembling.

She didn't blame Lysander. She knew he was just a greenhorn. Until he had proven himself, few people would take him seriously.

For her sake, he had likely done everything he could. But still...

Elara missed their time together in Brookfield, when all she had to worry about was her grades, without any of these burdens. But now...

Elara finished speaking, and when she heard no reply from Lysander, she turned to leave. But he gently took her hand.

"Elara," he said quietly.

She looked back at him.

He looked at her and said, "I know today's events were tough on you and your dad. Just give me a bit more time." Elara hesitated, then replied, "If it can't be solved, just leave it. I'm not blaming you. I just need some space to think."

In this circle, she was an unremarkable presence. But surely she was allowed to feel angry sometimes.

She wanted a moment to herself to adjust and calm down.

Seeing the weary look in her eyes, Lysander let go of her hand, and she left quickly.

Crispin was smoking at the entrance as she walked through the garden. He noticed her heading out alone and asked, "Elara, are you upset?"

Elara replied, "I'm not angry. I won't be back tonight. Make sure Lysander gets home safely and tell him to get some rest."

With that, she returned to her father's room, staying there for the night.
