Chapter 1147
[But I still have to tell you: I'm sorry.
Not just me - Esme was sorry too. Dad and Mom are sorry as well. We hurt you in so many ways. Looking back, whether you were truly part of the Russell family or not, we should have treated you with more kindness and respect.
Elizabeth, Esme is gone now. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive her. We're leaving, and I sincerely wish you happiness moving forward. If you and Alexander do get married someday, I'd be honored to receive an invitation.
I should mention that Mom's mental health has been deteriorating. The doctors aren't optimistic about how much time she has left.
I have just one small request. If Mom passes away, please come to say goodbye - whether you come as Nancy or as Elizabeth doesn't matter.
I'm truly sorry for everything.]
Elizabeth lay on the bed, repeatedly looking at this message.
The first part was Henry's words to his sister.
The second part was Henry's words to Elizabeth.
And the last part was something a son wanted to do for his mother.
Elizabeth looked at the message and sighed.
She turned over and lay on her stomach on the bed.
At this moment, Alexander sent a message.
Alexander: [You awake?]
Elizabeth: [Yeah.]
[What's on your mind?]
Elizabeth raised an eyebrow, showing unexpected interest: [You, actually..]
[Are you really thinking about me, or just saying that to be nice?]
[Of course, I'm not really thinking about you.]
[Figured as much.]
[I'm coming over tomorrow, what do you want to eat?]
[Just having you here is enough. The food doesn't matter.]
[Talk like that and I'll serve you rat poison for dinner.]
[If you can live with yourself afterward.]
[Why wouldn't I? When you're gone, all your money becomes mine. Just thinking about all that cash gives me a thrill.]
[Scary.]
[Are you scared?]
[I wouldn't be a man if I got nervous over this.]
Elizabeth laughed.
She didn't reply to the message.
After a while, Alexander sent another one: [I can give you anything you want, can I not die?]
Elizabeth burst out laughing.
He continued: [I still want to live a few more years, to spend more time with you.]
Elizabeth: [Permission granted.]
[You're so bossy]
[What can I say? This is the confidence you gave me. You've spoiled me rotten.]
[Then let me spoil you for the rest of our lives.]
[Fine by me.]
[See you tomorrow.]
Elizabeth sent a goodnight emoji.
She looked at Henry's message again and replied in a good mood: [Take care.]
