After Death, Love Unveiled

Chapter 192

Elara had always known how much Felicity loved Wyatt. Whenever Wyatt wasn't around, Felicity would sulk and cry endlessly. But as soon as Wyatt showed up, it was like Felicity came back to life. Now, Felicity refused treatment for such a reason, and Elara couldn't hold back from speaking the truth.

Felicity looked at her and said, "Elara, I just really don't want to make myself ugly. I've thought about this for a long time, so please don't push me anymore." Elara glanced at Lysander, who was standing by the door. Judging by his expression, even Lysander hadn't expected to hear Felicity say such a thing.

After leaving the hospital room, Elara walked alongside Lysander. Elara had spent ages trying to convince Felicity, but she still wouldn't budge.

Felicity had clearly made up her mind. She didn't want treatment. Elara felt that if she pressed any further, Felicity might break down into tears.

Just then, a voice called out, "Hi, Lysander." It was Aubrey. He had just returned from school and rushed to the hospital upon hearing about his mother's illness.

Lysander nodded. "Your mom's in the room."

"How is she?" Aubrey asked, concern evident in his voice. "She's been sick so often lately. Her health is terrible."

"She has cancer," Lysander said flatly. "The doctor wants her to stay in the hospital for treatment. She might need surgery. You should talk to her about it."

Felicity had kept her diagnosis from Aubrey until now. But Lysander, characteristically direct, laid it all out.

Aubrey froze for a moment, stunned by the revelation. His face betrayed a mixture of shock and confusion."I'll go see my mom," Aubrey said, finally recovering.

Lysander looked at her, unbothered. "Aubrey isn't a child anymore. He's grown up, and he has the right to make his own decisions about
