Chapter 33
Lysander was taken aback for a moment. 'Every day from now? He looked at her, puzzled. "Why?
"Don't you want me to come over?" Elara asked.
"No." Lysander explained, "You have classes to attend, right? I can go to your place."
"But you're sick now. I can't let you come over to teach me while you're sick. I'll bring my homework and come to you myself
Hearing this, Lysander breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay"
She came for a lecture. That made sense. Lysander almost overthought that she had other intentions....
Elara looked at him and realized that he visibly relaxed where she mentioned bringing homework. As if I'm going to eat him up!' she teased inwardly.
She stood up and stretched. After sitting for so long, she felt her body stiffen. "I'll go back now. See you tomorrow."
TII have the butler drop you off. Lysander got up as well.
"No, it's okay. Take some rest. The driver is waiting downstairs. I can go back on my own." Elara couldn't possibly allow a patient to see her off.
Even so, Lysander still stood up. "Actually, it's nothing serious. I be fine by tomorrow."
"Really?" Elara turned to him.
Lysander had already stood before her, towering over her.
Elara stepped back two paces, looking at him.
Even in pajamas, he looked quite handsome. Til see you downstairs."
He accompanied Elara downstairs and seemed more lively now.
Elara originally thought he was sick and needed rest but found out that he looked quite fine.
Downstairs, Steven was sitting on the sofa, talking on the phone. Seeing them, he put down his phone. "Elara, are you leaving?
""Yeah." Elara nodded,
"Why not stay longer? Just stay here. I'll have someone clean up a room for tomorrow, Steven added.
you and arrange for you to go to school
Elara and Lysander weren't in the same school. It was a bit farther to get from here to Crestview Senior High.
"No, thanks, Mr. Clark," said Elara. "I'm heading back now just in time to sleep.
Lysander accompanied her out of the living room, and by the time they reached the outside, the driver from the Kensington family was already waiting.
The butler politely opened the car door for Elara. "Take care, Miss Kensington."
Elara looked at Lysander. "Get a good night's sleep, and remember to text me if you're better tomorrow, If you don't, I'll come for you." She spoke sternly, a bit like a little leader. But her sweet voice betrayed her. Chapter 33

As soon as he finished, Elara hugged him.

Lysander froze while looking at her in confusion.
The butler stood by, a knowing smile playing on his lips, feeling relieved that Lysander was a grown man now.
After a while. Lysander finally spoke. "Hey..."
Elara let go of him, her eyes sparkling like stars. "I don't know why, but seeing you like this, I just wanted to give you a hug. You wouldn't hate me for that, would you?"
Lysander looked as if he was very unhappy. Elara didn't know why he was like that.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
When Lysander heard her words, he was slightly taken aback.
"Of course not." He would never dislike her but was just afraid of getting used to her kindness. When she eventually stepped back or reconciled with Asher, he would be utterly sad.
In Elara's eyes, I might seem like a nice guy, someone who could be tolerant and generous in any situation. But that true. If it was something I wanted. I might do anything to get it back. But by then, she would hate me, wouldn't she?" Lysander said inwardly. He'd been doing his best to restrain himself from interfering with her affairs.
"Then I'll be off. Remember to take good care of Lysander and get him well soon." Elara said to the butler.
will. Miss Kensington. The butler sneaked a glance at Lysander
Elara got into the car, adding. T'm going back to sleep, a bit sleepy
The car drove slowly away from the Clark family.
Lysander stood still, still in his pajamas. His eyes were fixed on the direction Elara had left.
"Sir, it's a bit cold outside. Let's go in the butler said.
WHE not
The summer had long since passed in Brookfield. A few days ago, there was a late autumn heatwave, unbearably hot. Now, it was back to the usual autumn weather. The night breeze was a bit chilly. Lysander turned back and walked through the door.
The butler followed beside him, saying, "Sir, I can see that Miss Kensington really likes you."
Lysander replied, "She and I are comrades. It's not the kind of relationship you're thinking of
"Comrades? The butler looked at him in confusion.
Lysander seemed to be quite enjoying himself. I helped her with her lessons, so she came to visit me. She must be worried that me being sick would affect her progress. She said she'll come again tomorrow." Thinking about this, Lysander felt a bit of anticipation.
The butler made no response, murmuring inwardly, Mr. Hawthorne is so humble in front of Miss Kensington!
Lysander went upstairs.
Elara was on her way home. Gazing at the night view outside the car, she thought of Lysander.
Though he hadn't come himself before her last moments, that bit of tenderness was enough to comfort her. At least before
she died, she wasn't alone inghe cold rental house; there was still one person who cared about her.
When Elara arrived home. Ursa was already waiting at the door, Miss Kensington, you are back."
"Has my father returned yet?" Elara nodded.
"Yeah. He's waiting for you."
Elara walked in and saw Barrett sitting on the sofa, looking stern It seemed he was a bit displeased because she was back so late.
"Dad." Elara approached him.
Barrett adjusted his glasses and looked up. Despite his righteous face, there was an almost intimidating expression now,
"You're back? Steven said you were staying at their place and wouldn't be back today.
"How come?" Elara knew her father was angry because she came home late. "If I'm going to come back late, I'll inform you myself. I won't let someone else call. Mr. Clark must have misunderstood."
"Elara, although Dad hopes you'll marry Lysander in the future, that's a matter for later, okay?"
Elara made no response.
"You can start to get to know each other and build some feelings, but don't actually start dating. If he takes you home and tries anything, you absolutely must not agree, Although he had agreed to the marriage himself, Elara hadn't yet graduated. Barrett was very afraid that she might do something foolish.
Seeing Barrett's serious face, Elara said, "Dad, easy. I got it."
Having been so defamed In her previous life, she naturally would be more cautious about such matters.
Barrett, who was originally planning to assert his authority, felt a bit guilty now that Elara obediently agreed to his words. "My dear daughter, I'm telling you this for your good. You wouldn't be mad at me, would you?"
