After Death, Love Unveiled

Chapter 194

When Elara arrived at the Hawthorne residence, she stepped through the front door just as Wyatt was coming downstairs to grab something. Seeing that Elara had specifically come to see him, Wyatt asked, Elara, do you need something?"

"Mr. Hawthorne," Elara began, "I just visited Mrs. Hawthorne at the hospital. She's unwell. Would you consider going to see her?"

Wyatt's expression turned helpless at the mention of this topic. The last time, Elara had also urged him to visit Felicity, but he hadn't gone.

Later, it was Lysander who had managed to persuade him to go. Wyatt had only gone that time for Lysander's sake. Now, he had no intention of going again.

With a regretful tone, Wyatt said, "I'm sorry, Elara, but I've got something to take care of right now. I might not have the time to visit.

"If there's anything urgent, just have someone at the hospital handle it. If necessary, I'll have Anthony take care of it."

Anthony was one of Wyatt's assistants, responsible for handling various tasks on his behalf.

Hearing this, Elara responded, "You can go whenever you have time. The hospital wants Mrs. Hawthorne to undergo surgery, but she's refusing.

"It's clear that she has strong feelings for you. If you're willing to talk to her, you might be able to persuade her."

Wyatt sighed but reluctantly agreed. "I'll go."

Seeing that he had agreed, Elara relaxed and said, "As long as you're willing, I feel much better. She's been ill for a long time and refuses treatment.

"Mr. Hawthorne, I don't mean to interfere, but if something were to happen to her... I think we'd all be deeply saddened."

After all, they were a family who had lived under the same roof for so long. Though Elara hadn't spent much time with Felicity, she had always thought she was a decent person. And Wyatt had spent years with her. Wyatt nodded. "Okay. Have you eaten yet? Let's grab a meal together."

"Uh?" Elara asked, surprised. "Aren't you busy?"

"I wanted to talk to you about Lysander," Wyatt explained.

Noticing his complicated expression, Elara nodded. "Alright."
