After Death, Love Unveiled

Chapter 169

Crispin explained, "Lysander's arranged everything for her to receive treatment."

Elara asked, "You're going with her?"

Crispin said, "Of course! She's alone, with no one from the Swift family she can rely on. Her father wouldn't care for her at all. I'll stay with her for some time to help her settle down." Elara replied, "That's kind of you."

Crispin added, "Juan mentioned she wanted to see you before she left."

"See me?" Elara was a bit surprised, thinking of Juan, who was usually reserved and rarely expressed much. There was surely something she needed to say if she reached out.

Elara said, "I'll go with you to see her later. Let me finish up here. You can head to the hospital first."

Crispin replied, "No rush. I'll wait for you."

After wrapping things up at the law firm, Elara went to the hospital with Crispin.

Juan lay in the hospital bed, a single yellow rose placed by her side earlier that morning.

Seeing Elara, she greeted her, "Miss Kensington."

Elara remarked, "I've told you to call me Elara. You're always so formal."

Seeing that Elara wasn't annoyed, Juan relaxed a bit and nodded. "Alright."

Elara took a seat beside her. "It's been a busy few days, so I haven't visited," she said.

"I know," Juan replied, looking at her. "Crispin told me. I'm sorry. It's my fault you were caught up in all this. I already told my father that I didn't want to marry Lysander. I don't know what he was thinking..." Seeing Juan's remorseful expression, Elara reassured her, "This isn't on you. Don't dwell on it,"

After all, no one could choose their family.

They could all see Juan's decent nature. However, Orson was something else entirely. He always disregarded Juan's feelings in every

decision he made.

Juan sighed helplessly.

Elara said, "Don't overthink it. Focus on getting better. Remember, no matter what life throws your way, there's always a way forward if you don't give up."

"I will. When you get married, I'll definitely be
