Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 570 Secret Crush

"So, you came back from abroad because of this?" Yelena had heard Cecelia mention it before, but not in such

detail.

Thinking of Cecelia's unrequited love, Yelena couldn't help but feel regretful. "It's okay. Although he has fallen in

love with someone else and is with someone else now, at least he appeared in your youth, and I believe you will

meet someone better." She held Cecelia's hand, her face full of hope.

On the other hand, Hank and Elspeth remained silent. Then, Yelena continued to speak a lot of random things,

basically telling Cecelia not to dwell on the past, to look forward, and to think about her relationship with Yozan. She

finished speaking, and the other two had nothing to say.

However, as they were leaving, he asked Elspeth to escort Yelena home and said he had something to ask Cecelia.

After hearing that, Elspeth's eyes narrowed as she looked at him full of scrutiny.

"Thank you," he apologized with a smile.

Nevertheless, Elspeth didn't say anything and dragged Yelena away.

When only the two of them were left in the room, Hank finally asked coldly, "The person you were talking about,

right? It's not me, is it?"

Cecelia retorted, "How could it be you? You're too self-centered."

"Cecelia, I'm not quite sure what you were trying to convey today, but regardless, I hope we can both move

forward and be okay." His words were clearly a threat.

After hearing that, her eyes turned red instantly. "Hank, is that how you see me? Do you think I would ruin the

relationship between you two?"

Then, he looked at her with an unclear expression. "Of course not. Yelena has always been pure-hearted and hasn't

thought much about it."

Others, particularly Elspeth, fully comprehended Cecelia's earlier statement.

"Yelena may be pure-hearted, but does that mean I'm a scheming bad woman?" Cecelia's heart sank. "I've liked

you for so long, but you fell in love with someone else. Did you really not have any feelings for me before?"

Since they were young, Hank had always treated her like a little sister and never considered becoming anything

more with her. Their relationship had always been close, and he assumed she enjoyed spending time with him.

Their personalities and interests were very much alike; he had always thought they would be lifelong good friends.

However, she suddenly confessed her hidden feelings for him.

"Cecelia, we can never be together," he said with a strange expression.

"Cecelia, we can never be together," he said with a strange expression.

"Don't worry. I only said those things today to give the story a complete ending. I have no intention of ruining your

relationship with her," Cecelia replied, her voice faltering. "Besides, I've hidden these feelings well all this time." Her

words were sincere, and no one, not even Yozan, had noticed her buried emotions since her return.

After hearing that, he stepped forward and reassured her with a pat on the shoulder. "Cecelia, we will always

remain friends."

Suddenly, she looked up with tears and made a request. "Can I ask you for one thing? I promise that it's only one."

Hank asked, "What is it?"

Cecelia replied, "May I please have a hug?"

Unfortunately, he declined her request. "I'm sorry, but I can't."

After breaking through a layer of emotional barriers, their friendship came to a halt at that point. In the past, a

simple hug between them would have been acceptable. Nonetheless, now that their feelings had been expressed,

physical contact would make him uncomfortable.

Then, he stepped back, trying to hide his inner turmoil.

"Why are you so nervous? I was joking," Cecelia observed his reaction and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Hank cleared his throat and pretended to be surprised. "Don't scare me like that again; it's terrifying."

"Okay, okay, it's getting late, so you should go home," she said with a smile and a playful glint in her eyes,

reminiscent of their past. "Otherwise, your dear wife will worry about you."

He thought of Yelena and smiled. "Alright then, rest well, and we'll come to see you again soon."

She nodded, then waved her hand dismissively. "Go, go. Don't bother me."

As Hank turned to leave, there was a muffled sound from the bed. "If Yelena weren't in the picture, would you like

me?"

"No," he replied firmly.

"Okay, good night. I'm going to sleep," Cecelia said as she wrapped herself in the blanket, tears streaming down her

face.

...

The following afternoon, Elspeth went to find Yozan at the agreed time. He had been waiting at the hospital

entrance for a while. When he saw her coming, he couldn't help but curl his lips. "Miss Lynwood, it appears that you,

too, are eager to know the test results."

"Naturally." She glanced at him. Seeing his smug smile, she couldn't help but tease him. "Mr. Harley, aren't you

going to the hospital to get rejected today?"

After hearing that, his smile instantly became awkward. She had witnessed their dispute last time, and he never

thought she would bring it up that day.

"Miss Lynwood, you're really eloquent." He glared at her with gritted teeth, then smirked and went inside.

Afterward, she followed closely behind.

Elspeth and Yozan made their way to the testing room, where she was greeted warmly by the doctor on duty whom

she was already familiar with.

As the doctor recognized her, he smiled and addressed her by name, "Miss Lynwood, here for testing again?"

When she heard that, she felt a sudden itch in her nose and instinctively touched it, feeling extremely awkward. On

the other hand, Yozan, who had earlier been teased by her, couldn't contain his laughter as he saw her discomfort.

After that, she quickly proceeded with the testing with him to move past the awkwardness.

Then, the doctor winked at her. "Miss Lynwood, how about this? Come back in two hours, and I'll give you the test

results through the back door."

She smiled and thanked him. "Thank you."

"No problem. This gentleman should be your younger brother, right? He's handsome." The doctor laughed heartily.

Elspeth looked at Yozan and furrowed her brows. "Is it that obvious?"

"You two are like peas in a pod, but you look a bit more refined, Miss Lynwood."

Yozan leaned against the door with an indistinguishable smile. "Looks like we don't need to wait for the test results

after all."
