The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Chapter 5

Chapter 5 His Heart Raced–for Lily

After John carried Elsa out, his friends all rushed to the hospital after them, eager to show concern and help.

Soon, the luxurious private room was left with only Lily and Simon.

Simon was the only heir to the Bale family, one of Capital City’s top elite lineages.

He and John had grown up like brothers, thick as thieves.

He’d spent the past few years until Simon returned six months ago that he found out what had happened.

Unlike John’s other friends, who dismissed Lily because they sensed John didn’t care much for her, Simon disliked Lily for a different reason: he doted on Elsa, truly saw her as a little sister.

When he was ten, he went with his father on a charity trip to the countryside and got caught in a terrible earthquake. He and Elsa were trapped in the rubble together.

He had been gravely injured, unable even to speak. If not for Elsa comforting him and encouraging him the whole time, he wouldn’t have survived until rescue.

Elsa was smart, radiant, noble–Capital City’s proud and untouchable red rose. Lily, aside from a prettier face, had nothing to compare.

“Lily, you dared to send thugs to attack Lizzy? You deserve to die.”

Lily, still staring blankly in the direction John had gone, was stunned by Simon’s voice.

Lizzy?

Clearly, Simon meant Elsa.

Funny… her childhood nickname had also been Lizzy.

Only her now–deceased loved ones and the friend trapped with her in the rubble sixteen years ago had ever called her that.

But that friend had never spoken. She never even knew his name.

The pocket watch he gave her had been stolen years ago. There was no chance they’d ever meet again.

Simon looked at her bloodied face and felt even more disgusted. To him, John being with her was rock bottom.

His anger flared. Without thinking, he picked up a glass of liquor and threw it in her face.

“Touch Lizzy again, and I’ll make your life worse than death.”

“I didn’t hurt Elsa!”
