Unrepairable Love Chapter 207
Elizabeth made a noise in response. They stood silently by the elevator. Joseph glanced at Elizabeth’s shoulder and neck. “How’d you get that injury?”
Elizabeth hesitated. Did he overhear her chat with Alexander?
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop. I saw Esme at the door and got curious,” Joseph explained.
Elizabeth shook her head.
“When I was a kid, I fell off the balcony and landed on a vase. It cut me,” she said casually.
Joseph looked into her eyes. “Really?”
“Of course, I never lie,” Elizabeth said seriously.
Joseph chuckled. Elizabeth coughed lightly, feeling a bit guilty.
“Never lie,” he repeated, amused.
Elizabeth had often said she loved him, playing along in front of Alexander. The prettier the woman, the easier she lied without a blush or a pause.
The next day, Elizabeth was having breakfast on her way to the hospital. The gossip about her and Joseph had vanished from the news. Someone must’ve cleaned it up. Passing the emergency room, she saw Alexander.
At the office door, she noticed many colleagues standing around. They seemed to be waiting for something.
“Why isn’t anyone going in?” Elizabeth asked, puzzled.
“You’re finally here,” Laura pointed inside. “Someone’s here to see you.”
Elizabeth, confused, pushed open the door and saw Elara and Lily on the sofa, with Amanda nearby. Elizabeth frowned and texted Alexander: [Your mom and grandma are in my office. Can you come over?]
Amanda stood up when she saw Elizabeth. “Dr. Percy, someone’s here to see you.”
“Grandma, Mom,” Elizabeth said helplessly. Why did they come to the hospital?
Amanda left, giving them space. Mark glanced inside and snorted, “They really make an entrance. This is a hospital, not their home! Can’t they talk outside?”
Amanda glared at Mark. “Why are you complaining? Don’t you have work to do? Do you need the office urgently?”

“Everyone, get back to work!” Amanda ordered.
Laura led the way back to work. Mark was indignant. Amanda reminded him, “Mr. Fisher, don’t always be so hostile towards wealthy people.”
Inside the office, Lily said, holding Elizabeth’s hand apologetically, “Elizabeth, I had no choice but to come here with Elara to see you.”
Elizabeth shook her head. “It’s okay, Grandma.”
“Elizabeth, you told me on the phone that you fell in love with Joseph. I don’t believe it,” Lily said firmly. Elizabeth lowered her eyes as Lily continued, “I’m right here. Look into my eyes and tell me that you don’t love Alexander anymore, and you fell in love with Joseph.”
Her mouth could lie, but her eyes couldn’t. Lily didn’t believe Elizabeth didn’t love Alexander anymore.
Elizabeth raised her eyes, meeting the intense gaze of Elara. “Grandma, I really don’t love Alexander anymore,” she said sincerely, looking into Lily’s eyes.
The office door handle moved, and the door opened. Alexander stood there, looking at Elizabeth calmly. He had heard her say, “I really don’t love Alexander anymore.”
