Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 500 Finding Out the Truth

“I want to eat braised pork ribs, tofu, steamed pork…”

Yelena immediately pounced on the chance as she began listing all her cravings until she was satisfied.

“Need I remind you that you just woke up from surgery? So, you should be having something light.”

Yelena’s eyebrows knitted together as she whined, “But Elspeth, you know I don’t like to eat bland food. I refuse to eat them.”

“Unfortunately for you, you can’t eat those greasy foods. The doctor even specifically said that eating those will affect your recovery.”

Yelena thought about it as she slumped in dejection and nodded. “Okay, then I’ll eat something light.”

Hank figured that was his cue to leave as he rose to his feet and said, “I’ll be leaving her in your care, then. I’ll go out and get her food.”

That was fine. Elspeth wanted to have a private chat with Yelena anyway.

After Hank left, Elspeth sat by the bed as she wracked her brain in order to figure out how to word her sentence. Eventually, Yelena noticed and took the initiative to ask her instead, “Elspeth, what’s wrong? Do you have something to tell me?”

“There is something. Do you know who saved you?”

Yelena shook her head with a look of confusion. “I asked Hank earlier, but he told me the person wanted to do a good deed while remaining anonymous. He said they didn’t want anyone to know about this, and he had given them a lot of money. He also said that I shouldn’t worry about it.”

Elspeth’s thoughts of telling her of Max’s death were immediately locked within the confines of her mind and tossed away.

“What’s the matter? Do you know them?”

Elspeth shook her head as she answered, “I don’t. I just wanted to know if you knew.”

There should be a reason behind Hank’s decision to keep this a secret from Yelena.
