Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Upon learning of Nala's illness from Alexander, Lena rushed to the hospital in great distress. She repeatedly called Elijah along the way, wanting to ask him why he hadn't informed her about Nala's condition and why he had kept it a secret. Additionally, she wanted to know what illness Nala was suffering from.

However, Elijah did not answer her calls, and Lena's attempt to reach Kasey yielded the same result.

Just as she was about to dial Elijah's number again, Chris gently took her hand.

"Don't make any more calls," Chris said softly. "Their daughter is sick, and they must be going through a tough time. Besides, it's not good news to spread around."

"But..."

Chris hesitated before continuing. "Lena... Actually... you're just an outsider to them. Even though Nala sometimes treats you as her aunt, you're still considered an outsider."

Lena's eyes dimmed.

Indeed, he was right. What was her place in Elijah's life? At best, she was an employee, a former colleague, and a current partner in running the school. For matters concerning her boss' family, it would be best for her not to pry into things that weren't her business.
