His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 749

“How could it be, Mom? Am I not here to see you?” He wanted to get up, but Elizabeth tightly held onto his wrist. “Don’t go! If you’re gone, I would have nothing.”

Damian frowned. “Mom, I’m not leaving. I’m just going to get you a glass of water. Your lips are so dry that they’re flaking.”

Elizabeth touched her lips and realized they were dehydrated. She sighed. “Flaking? Who would give a d*mn even if my lips start bleeding?”

“Mom, don’t say it like that. Do I not care about you? Dad too!”

“Your dad? Please!” She snorted, still looking upset. “After all these years, all he does is pay us lip service. Deep down, he only cares about that woman.”

“You’re just upset, Mom.” Filling up a glass of water, he handed it to her and helped her to sit up. While she sipped the water, Damian said, “You’ve been with Dad for so many years. I’m sure you know how he feels about you. Besides, from my perspective, Dad still loves you.”

“He loves me, yet he couldn’t bear to part with 10 million dollars and gave my necklace to someone else?” Saddened, she stopped drinking and placed the glass aside.

Judging from her reaction, Damian knew she was still angry and tried to coax her. “It’s about the necklace, huh?”

“See! Even you know about it. Imagine what other people say about this. I-I’ve never felt so disgraced in my life!” Burying her face into her hands, she didn’t dare to watch the news for the past two days. She didn’t even check what was trending on Twitter for fear that she would see people making fun of her.

In fact, to avoid the sneering looks of others, she had not picked up her calls and stopped hanging out with her friends.

“You’re overthinking!” He pulled her hands off her face with a smile. “I’ve not heard anyone making fun of you or talking behind you. It’s just a necklace. Do you care about it so much?”
