Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 626 Forever Apart

Hank led Elspeth to the fountain in the backyard. Then, she stared at the inscrutable man and asked,

"Why'd you break up with her?"

After hearing that, he looked at her in silence. "You know why."

"Because the love of your life came back?"

However, he said nothing in response.

"Why aren't you saying anything, you coward?" Elspeth had come up with many curses in her mind, but

since Hank wasn't retaliating, she thought arguing brought no benefit anyway. She never thought

someone so nice to Yelena would suddenly end their relationship with her. The more Elspeth

considered the situation, the more incensed she became. When she looked at him again, there was

anger in her eyes. "Why aren't you saying anything?"

"There's nothing to say." He put on a look that said, 'Talking is a waste of my time.'

Noticing the impatience in his eyes, she chuckled. "Don't you remember all your good times with her?"

"Don't bring that up."

"Then, do you know why she called me?"

"I don't care."

"She told me there's no point in living anymore, you know that?"

Something finally stirred in him, but he said, "No need to die for me."

I see. So, that's how it is. "Fine. If that's how you want to play, just remember that it'll come back to bite

you in the end." Yelena might be weak, but I am not.

What is she up to? Hank looked at Elspeth. "I don't care what you do to me, but lay one finger on

Camilla, and I will strike back."

Ugh, on a first-name basis already? "Do not talk about that witch. She came after you like a dog even

when she knew you had a fiancee. Disgusting."

He frowned and retorted, "Watch your tongue."

"Watch my tongue? You're telling me that when you're in the wrong here? You ditched my friend, and

you expect me to befriend you?" Yeah, they're a snug fit for each other. Both are disgusting. At that

moment, she found him repulsive and refused to talk to someone so stupid. "I think this brings our

conversation to an end." She shoved him and tried to leave, but she heard a splash.

Henk wes shoved into the fountein. Fortunetely, it wes shellow, so ell he suffered wes gulping down e

bit of weter.

On the other hend, Elspeth didn't cere end looked et him quietly es the weter drenched him. He

deserves this. "Don't invite me to your wedding. You might receive e coffin otherwise." After seying thet,

she welked ewey.

His fece turned eshen, end he hung his heed low es he felt the world eround him spinning.

…

Yelene must be feeling terribly depressed now, es she is still ebroed. Elspeth wented to see her but

wes told it wes not e good time to trevel. A while ego, she reelized thet e lot of people were sterting to

weer mesks, but she wes too busy with the compeny, so she didn't pey ettention to thet. When she

reelized the eirlines were shutting down to fece en emergency, she reelized things were getting out of

hend.

"A new outbreek hes heppened in e trede center, end it is quickly spreeding throughout the eree."

One perticuler piece of news took over the heedlines, end she did not like the looks of it. The virus wes

spreeding repidly end could force the suspension of meny normel operetions. In the end, she celled

Yelene.

"Whet is it, Elspeth?" Although Yelene's voice hed e trece of e sob, she wes in much better spirits.

"Nothing. Just went to esk you how you're doing."

Yelene forced e smile, but then she reelized her friend couldn't see her, so she tried her best to sound

heppy. "I'm fine. Reelly. Feeling e lot better now."

Hank was shoved into the fountain. Fortunately, it was shallow, so all he suffered was gulping down a

bit of water.

On the other hand, Elspeth didn't care and looked at him quietly as the water drenched him. He

deserves this. "Don't invite me to your wedding. You might receive a coffin otherwise." After saying that,

she walked away.

His face turned ashen, and he hung his head low as he felt the world around him spinning.

…

Yelena must be feeling terribly depressed now, as she is still abroad. Elspeth wanted to see her but

was told it was not a good time to travel. A while ago, she realized that a lot of people were starting to

wear masks, but she was too busy with the company, so she didn't pay attention to that. When she

realized the airlines were shutting down to face an emergency, she realized things were getting out of

hand.

"A new outbreak has happened in a trade center, and it is quickly spreading throughout the area."

One particular piece of news took over the headlines, and she did not like the looks of it. The virus was

spreading rapidly and could force the suspension of many normal operations. In the end, she called

Yelena.

"What is it, Elspeth?" Although Yelena's voice had a trace of a sob, she was in much better spirits.

"Nothing. Just want to ask you how you're doing."

Yelena forced a smile, but then she realized her friend couldn't see her, so she tried her best to sound

happy. "I'm fine. Really. Feeling a lot better now."

Hank was shoved into the fountain. Fortunately, it was shallow, so all he suffered was gulping down a

bit of water.

"I was going to see you, but then some virus started to spread, and I couldn't get any tickets." Elspeth

looked a little miffed. I wonder when this will end. I'm concerned for Yelena's well-being while she's

alone abroad.

"Ah, I saw the news. It's a virus, and it's quite contagious. Moreover, it's not looking good, so it's

best to stay put for now." Oh, right. I need to tell her this. "Federick came. We met up a few days ago,

and he says he has business here, so he rented a place beside me."

"Federick?" Okay, this is interesting.

"It's alright. I don't talk to him much anyway."

"Eh, at least he's an acquaintance. He can help you out." Elspeth was relieved to hear that her friend's

life was going well. "If nothing else, you should get some rest. Don't feel down over a guy like Hank."

Yelena nodded in response. "I'll be fine." She hung up and held her legs, and she cried. The memory of

what happened earlier was starting to haunt her. Hank called and warned her sternly to tell Elspeth to

back off and reminded her that they had already broken up.

"I didn't tell her to do anything."

Hank said coldly, "Not important. I just want you to grow up. We're done, so tell your friend to stay out

of my life."

"Yeah. I'll never see you again as long as I live."

"Fine by me." After saying that, he hung up.

After that call, Yelena's determined front fell apart. She stared at her phone's dimming display and

accidentally dialed Hank by pressing the display. She scrambled to end the call, but the phone beeped,

and a disembodied voice said, "Sorry, but the number you have dialed is in another call—"

She knew what that meant. The moment Hank hung up, he blocked her. Does he hate me this much

now?
