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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhat 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.

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
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfine. 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?
