After Death, Love Unveiled

Chapter 271

Chapter 271

Elara looked at him coldly and said, "Do you think I wanted to come? If it hadn't been for you using Lysander's situation to bait me, I wouldn't have come."

On the hospital bed, Asher asked, "Do you love him that much?"

Hearing such nonsense, Elára wasn't polite with him and replied "I don't love him; should I love you instead?"

Asher said, "He is indeed more suitable for you than I am."

"I don't need you to say that!" she said.

Asher said, "I have loved you."

"Who cares?" Elara replied.

Asher said, "I meant in the last time. You found my mother's contact information, and I was touched. If it hadn't been for what happened when I went to Starfield City to find her, she wanted to send me off to someone else; I might have liked you. After returning from Starfield City, I suddenly lost all my drive and pride. I forgot how proud I once was. All I wanted was money; all I wanted was to stand out. I thought that if I had money, everything would be different.

"Maybe even my mother wouldn't hate me so much. So, over time, I became someone I didn't even recognize."

By the end, Asher lay in bed, his face filled with sorrow. "Why?" he asked. "Why is it that some children are never loved from the moment they're born? I often wonder if I committed some unforgivable sin, something so terrible that it destroyed the world. Otherwise, why does no one love me?"

Elara ended up staying in the ward longer than she had expected. Asher shared many things with her. In the end, lying in bed, his condition critical, he continued to call out for his mother.

"Mom, Mom..." At that moment, he didn't seem like an adult but like a child. He was a child who had never received love; even though he later became successful and his QuickClip videos were still popular, he never escaped the cage of his broken family.

Lysander was in his study while JoJo was in his room. Aubrey and Violet had come over, and after soothing him for a while, JoJo finally quieted down a bit.

Magnus walked in and said, "Mr. Hawthorne."

Lysander asked, "Elara hasn't come back yet?"

Magnus hesitated momentarily before replying, "She went to the hospital. Asher is sick and staying there, so she visited him."

Lysander lowered his head and said to Magnus, "I understand. You may leave now

"Shall I go pick up Mrs. Hawthorne?" Magnus asked.

"No need," Lysander said. "I trust her." Although he said this, his heart ached terribly. The slightest attention she gave Asher was enough to drive him crazy. But, he had learned to be a stable and understanding partner instead of getting upset over every little thing like he used to.
