Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) novel Chapter 501

When Elspeth came back out, she saw Yelena crouching on the ground. Panicked, she asked the doctor, "What happened to her?"

"I told her who the donor was, and then this happened." The doctor sighed. Guiltily, he said, "I didn't know he was important to her."

Elspeth didn't lecture the doctor. It wasn't his fault that Yelena was depressed. "I'll take over, doctor. You may leave now."

The doctor nodded and left the ladies alone. Elspeth crouched as well, and she wrapped her arm around Yelena's shoulder. "Yelena," she whispered.

Yelena said nothing. Her head remained buried in her chest, her shoulders trembling.

"I know it's hard to accept the truth."

Yelena still said nothing, but Elspeth could hear her sobbing.

"It's sad. His death is. Sorrowful. And it's not just affecting you and me. Callum, Hank… Everyone's affected." Elspeth pulled Yelena into her embrace and patted the back of her hand. "But we can't bring back the dead. Accidents happen. Nobody could have seen that coming. We need to embrace that fact. At least… At least his memories will live on in us."

Yelena raised her head. Her eyes were as puffy as peaches. "I just can't believe he's gone. And he gave me a part of himself before he left us forever. I… I can't live with that." They were no longer a couple, but still, the memories of their past remained. Max had always been a kind lad, yet that same young man left her forever—all while she was unconscious. She didn't even get the chance to see him one last time.

"I know he cared about you. That's why he was worried. That's why he gave you his marrow. And there's a reason for that. He wanted you to live. To be free of pain. He had high hopes for you, and you're wasting them by crying meaninglessly. You're ruining yourself. Is that how you wanna repay him? This will only disappoint him."

Yelena froze. Yes, right. What am I even doing? This is stupid. She stood up and wiped her tears away. "Thank you, Elsie. Hook me up to the IV infusion, please." She pulled the needle out in a hurry just now, so she couldn't even stand after losing the infusion.

Elspeth nodded and helped her lie down. Then, she hooked Yelena up to the IV infusion, and then she pressed her hand against Yelena's forehead. "No fever. Good. Remember to rest up and don't do anything rash. Take care of yourself. That's what Max would have wanted."

Yelena nodded. Her tears had run dry, and all she could do was shiver. "Elspeth," Yelena croaked. "Why did his car crash all of a sudden?"

Elspeth froze. If she told Yelena the truth, the guilt would wreck her, but if she didn't…
