After Death, Love Unveiled

Chapter 196

Sometimes, he would look for traces of Yessenia in her. But now Wyatt said, "No matter how much you resemble her, you're not her. Even if you die the way she did, you'll never become her Yessenia had passed away long ago. He should have accepted that reality a long time ago.

It was his refusal to let go that had dragged him deeper into this obsession, and in turn, pulled Felicity down with him.

Hearing Wyatt's words, Felicity froze for a few seconds, staring at him in disbelief. For someone who had been Yessenia's stand-in for so many years, his words cut far too deeply.

"Get some rest. I'll arrange for your surgery," Wyatt said, turning around and walking out the door.

Elara was standing just outside, having overheard their conversation. Wyatt stepped out and saw her. "Hi, Elara."

Elara nodded. "I came to check on Mrs. Hawthorne."

"Okay," Wyatt said curtly before walking off with a group of people trailing behind him.

Elara watched him leave before stepping into the hospital room. Felicity's eyes were red, tears streaming down her face.

Elara looked at her and said, "Hi, Mrs. Hawthorne."

Felicity greeted her. "Hi, Elara."

Seeing Felicity in tears, Elara asked, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Felicity said, her voice trembling. "It's just... I feel like such a fool."

She had been so afraid that if she stopped resembling Yessenia, he would no longer love her. But the truth was, even if she looked exactly like Yessenia, she could never measure up in his eyes. Felicity had overestimated her importance.

Elara said gently, "I think what you need to focus on now is getting better. You're still young, and there's so much ahead of you."

Felicity was only forty, and her son still had a long future ahead of him. "You're right," Felicity said.

"So, does that mean you've decided to go through with the treatment?" Elara asked.
