After Death, Love Unveiled

Chapter 207

Elara picked up her silk scarf and gently dabbed around Lysander's wound. Lysander watched her and asked, "Isn't this your favorite scarf?"

"It is," Elara replied, "but it doesn't matter. I don't mind it getting dirty."

Lysander sat beside her, gazing at her as she carefully tended to his wound. She was silent now, lost in thought.

Worried she might be upset, Lysander said, "I'll be more careful next time. I don't want you to worry."

Elara looked up at him, her eyes filled with admiration. "Honestly, I just think you were especially, especially handsome today."

Lysander raised an eyebrow, surprised. "Oh? Is that so?"

"Yes," Elara said earnestly. "You've always been by my side, so I used to think you were just like me. But today, seeing you risk yourself to save that person... Lysander, I realized you're really not the same as me." "How am I different?" he asked.

"Well," Elara said thoughtfully, "if I were in that situation, I definitely wouldn't have been as calm or as decisive as you. It just hit me all at once.

"My husband isn't some pampered kid who's had everything handed to him. You're this incredibly capable, strong, and amazing person." Seeing how serious she was, Lysander's expression softened, his gaze full of warmth. "So you suddenly find me handsome now?"

"You've always been handsome," Elara replied.

"But I'm even more handsome now, right?" he said.

Hearing him focus on such a trivial detail at this moment, Elara couldn't help but laugh. "Yes, you're the most handsome. My husband is the most handsome man in the whole world. What did I ever do to deserve someone as incredible as you?" "No need to go overboard with the flattery," Lysander said with a slight chuckle.

"I mean it. You were amazing out there." Elara insisted. She looked at his strong, resolute face, noticing he'd gotten a bit more tanned recently. Somehow, it only made him even more attractive.

When they returned to their residence, Magnus had already called a doctor over.

Crispin arrived shortly after. Seeing that Lysander's wound had been treated, Crispin asked, "Lysander, you got hurt?"

"Just a minor injury," Lysander replied. "Is everything taken care of?"

all are safe. In a situation like that, if Magnus hadn't reacted quickly, and if you'd collided with that car, none of you would've made it out alive." Magnus nodded, his
