The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He (Lily and John) novel Chapter 363

8 Let Me Die or Marry Me

Eka pondered. My future, my life–Lily had ruined it all. And yet all John had to say was that it didn’t matter, How could he be so heartless?

“Lizzy, don’t cry”

Seeing Elsa’s tears fall so violently, Simon couldn’t bear it.

But he had to admit–John had a point. So he spoke gently, trying to soften the blow.

“What happened last night… you really crossed a line. An ectopic pregnancy is already dangerous. Why would you throw yourself off a stage like that on purpose? And because you were trying to set Lily up, she ended up getting brutally attacked. Hurting yourself just to hurt someone else that kind of self- destructive move went way too far. Lizzy, stop using your body to manipulate people. It’s not helping anyone–not you, not them. And don’t fall apart over the hysterectomy. You’re seriously sick. Without a child, your body won’t have to work as hard. If you stick to the treatment plan, you might still have six months… maybe even longer.”

Too far? I shouldn’t be upset about the surgery? Elsa’s eyes were bloodshot as she looked at Simon like he was a

stranger.

After a long silence, she asked in a trembling voice, “Simon, you think I brought this on myself too, don’t you? That I deserved it?”

“I”

Simon did feel that way. But in her fragile state, if he said it out loud, it would only push her further. So he stayed silent.

Elsa had always been proud. She didn’t lower herself to screaming like a fishwife, didn’t indulge in wild hysterics. But now, the pain and despair in her chest were unbearable; she could no longer control her emotions.

Her voice cracked into a sharp, ragged scream. “Is that what all of you think? That just having a hysterectomy was too light a punishment? That I should’ve just died instead?”

“Lizzy, that’s not what I meant…”

“That is what you meant!”

Elsa’s voice cut him off, soaked in tears and grief. “You’re all biased toward Lily. You all think I’ll never measure up to her.”

But I was outstanding, incomparable, how could I not be better than Lily? Are they all blind? Her prideful eyes slammed shut, and the tears fell like they were worthless.

Her voice grew hoarse, broken, and hopeless. “I have my pride, Inever wanted to scheme against anyone. just felt wronged, unwilling to accept it. John forced himself on me, and I ended up pregnant. I wanted that child so badly. But of course, it had to be ectopic…”

I was just so heartbroken, so hopeless, and terrified I’d lose John. That’s why I did something so stupid, trying to hurt Lily to win back his concern and pity. I used to be so proud… How did I become like this, just because I loved a man too

Chapter 363 Let Me Dic or Marry Me

macht Elsa thought

Simon still thought Elsa had crossed a line.

But she had just undergone major surgery, and her illness meant she didn’t have much time left. Accme her this shattered, utterly crushed, his heart softened again.

He tried to soothe her with a gentle voice. “Lizzy, don’t do this. You-”

“Do you all think I’m disgusting? Evil?”

Before Simon could finish, Elsa let out a miserable laugh. “I think I’m disgusting too. I used the one thing I hated most, scheming and manipulation just to get a man… I know you all hate me. You don’t even want to look at me anymore. This world has given me so much pain and injustice–I’ve had enough. Let’s never see each other again!”

With that, she ignored the IV in her arm and staggered out of bed, then hurled herself straight toward the wall.
