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.

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

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."
