Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) novel Chapter 502

"We're not breaking up." Hank took a deep breath. She's just confused, that's all. "Now calm down and eat something. I'll get you some other food." He stood up and was about to get her another kind of breakfast.

But Yelena buried her head in the blanket and screeched, "I can't accept this. I can't date you now. Not after all that's happened. I know you know what I mean, Hank. Let's just give ourselves some time alone."

For some reason, guilt would well within Yelena when she was with Hank. Max died for her, and yet now she was dating some other guy. It was unfair to him, or so Yelena thought. She wasn't being stupid. She just couldn't accept this just yet.

Hank turned around. And with a slightly trembling voice, he asked, "Are you sure?"

Yelena was silent for a long while. Just when Hank thought she had snapped out of it, Yelena suddenly said, "Let's break up."

Hank froze for a moment. And then, he forced himself to stay calm. "Very well." He turned and left.

Elspeth couldn't step in. Yelena was in a really bad mood after all. She asked, "Are you all right?"

"Elsie…" Yelena pounced into Elspeth's embrace and burst into tears. "I… It's just heartbreaking. What should I do? Every time I think of Max, I can see him right in front of me, all bloody. I…"

"I know you're in a bad mood, but Hank did nothing wrong."

Yelena buried her head in Elspeth's embrace, refusing to say a word.

"He came all the way from Damoria. You can't actually think he's not taking this seriously."

"I don't know. I…"

"I know you're devasted about Max's death, but don't push away someone who loves you because of that."

A hint of guilt filled Yelena's heart. She took a quick glance at Elspeth and hung her head low. "I understand. I'll think about it."

That's the best I can do. Can't rush her. Elspeth heaved a long sigh.

Callum was done with the procedure a while later. He cremated Max, but he didn't send the urn back. His parents would break down if they knew, and he didn't want to see that. I'll tell them when we get back. He came back to the ward and saw Yelena lying on the bed looking like a corpse. Ah, she knows. Elspeth was right by her side, but Hank was nowhere to be found. He placed the fruits on the nightstand and looked around, but Hank wasn't around. "Where's Hank?"

"He left. I… yelled at him," Yelena whispered sheepishly.

"Why did you do that?" Callum was a little confused. Hank loves her. She can't just yell at him.
