NovelEnglishChapter 67 Episode 67
Taking a deep breath, Elizabeth finally broke the silence, her voice trembling slightly.
“Melany, there's something | need to tell you...”“Elijah and | haven't consummated our marriage.” The words
tumbled out of Elizabeth’s mouth, leaving behind an uneasy silence.
As the confession lingered in the air, she felt both a flicker of vulnerability and the release of a heavy weight
she'd been carrying for far too long.
Melany’s warm smile faltered, freezing like a picture caught mid-frame.
She thought back to Billie's earlier comments about Elizabeth and children.

Suddenly, it all made sense—this was Elizabeth's explanation for the absence of any baby news in the past two
years.
Her expression shifted to one of empathetic sorrow, tinged with rising anger at Elijah.
Taking Elizabeth's hand in hers, Melany’s grip was firm yet comforting.
“Elijah married you, and with that, he took on the duty to cherish you.
| can’t believe he dared to treat you like this—for two entire years! Don’t you worry, Elizabeth.
I'll make sure he hears a piece of my mind this time!” Elizabeth, feeling the warmth of Melany’s hands, squeezed
back gently, her voice steady.
“Please, Melany, don’t be upset.
There's something more | need to tell you.” With a deep breath, Elizabeth began to recount the scars of her
marriage—the endless ways Elijah had hurt her in his blind devotion to Sandra, and how the two were now
inching closer to rekindling their relationship.
Each word felt like reopening an old wound, and before she realized it, tears spilled freely down her cheeks,
betraying the calm she tried to maintain.
Melany tenderly wiped away Elizabeth's tears with her scarf.
“Don’t cry, dear.
We failed to raise Elijah properly.
He’s always been stubborn, keeping secrets.

But | never imagined he could be so cruel to you...
” Her voice trailed off, punctuated by a heavy sigh.
Elizabeth, in a gesture of comfort, squeezed Melany’s hand.
“I understand.
He only has Sandra in his heart.
Now that they're rekindling their relationship, you'll probably have a great-grandchild soon.” At the mention of
Sandra, Melany’s face hardened with disapproval.
“No, no, no! That woman could never replace you in my eyes.
As far as I'm concerned, you're my only granddaughter-in-law.
