After Death, Love Unveiled

Chapter 172

After sending off Cynthia, Elara drove home.

Ursa had recently moved to Westwood Villa to live with her.

When she saw Elara return, she politely greeted Elara, "Mrs. Hawthorne, you're back."

Elara said, "Ursa."

Ursa added, "Mr. Hawthorne is back."

Elara stayed silent.

Lysander hadn't returned for a long time. He had gone away for some time for studies, so Elara hadn't kept in touch with him.

Elara always felt helpless when it came to Lysander. Due to the nature of his work, there were many things she couldn't ask about.

All she knew was that he was very busy. There were times when he went off to do things, and she never questioned him.

As Elara entered the door, she saw Lysander standing by the floor-to-ceiling window.

He wore an army-green shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, giving off a strong yet relaxed vibe.

"Hello, Mrs. Hawthorne."

Elara, just walking in, was greeted by a young man.

She looked at him and paused for a moment. She then realized he was the one who had taken her to the hospital when she was on the brink of death.

Now, he was working with Lysander.

Elara asked, "What's your name?"

The man replied, "My name is Magnus Todd."

While they were talking, Lysander turned around and glanced at Elara.

He held a cup in his hand, with half a glass of water inside.

When he saw Elara talking to someone else, his gaze became intense.

Elara put down her bag and car keys and quickly walked to him. "You're back, and you didn't tell me in advance?"

Lysander looked her up and down. "You've been coming home so late recently?"

Elara explained, "I'm a full-time employee now! My mentor treated us to a meal. Then I dropped Cynthia off at her place, so I came home late. I didn't know you were coming back! If I had, I would've come back earlier." Magnus had already left.
