NovelBookChapter 477 Broken Promises
In the past, if Elsa had stumbled toward him like this, Simon would have easily avoided her. But tonight, after
one shocking blow to his beliefs after another, he felt as if his very soul had been torn away. He didn’t even
register her sudden lunge until she was already in his arms.
The moment he realized it, instinct took over. His hands pushed her away with force, shoving her to the ground
just to create distance.
“Simon, I'll change, | promise. I'll never hurt you or disappoint you again. Please don’t—ah...”
Elsa's eyes widened in disbelief. Injured and weak as she was, she never imagined Simon would hurl her aside so
ruthlessly.
“Lizzy, I-"
It was her own doing. Fate made the fall harsher: her temple struck the corner of the sink, and blood
immediately spilled down her face.
Simon hadn't meant it. He just couldn't bear her touch, couldn't stomach the closeness of her skin against his.
But seeing her bleeding, his dark eyes filled with panic.
still, even then, he refused to hold her himself and called for servants to lift her from the floor.
“I didn’t mean to push you. I just...”
Just couldn’t stand her scent, her embrace. The words hovered on his lips, but he swallowed them back-they
were too cruel to say aloud.
“Lizzy, please, don’t do this again. Once, you were the girl | trusted most, the sister of my heart. I'll never refuse

Her tears overflowed, her pride collapsing into dust. “You swore you'd always be good to me. How can you break
your word?”

He had sworn that once, long ago-when he still
believed Lizzy was the warm, kind girl of his memories. But the sixteen years between then and now had twisted
her beyond recognition.
He didn’t answer. His gaze lingered only on the blood trickling down her face. “Take her to the hospital,” he
ordered flatly.
Her body screamed with pain, but she refused to go. What she wanted wasn’t treatment-it was for him to soften,
to promise her something, anything. But his voice was colder than she had ever heard, and the elders were even
less forgiving. At Zoey’s signal, the servants dragged Elsa away, ignoring her feeble struggles.
“Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Aunt,” James said calmly, “I'll take Lily hnow.”
It was late. Lily had spent the day recording in the studio, then wasted her strength in the fight with Elsa. James
knew she was exhausted and needed rest.
Zoey loved Lily dearly and wanted her to stay the night, but remembering her grandson's long-awaited
confession, she relented. Young couples wanted to be close, after all. She squeezed Lily's hand, frowning when
she noticed how red her palms were.
“James,” Zoey instructed softly, “her hands are sore. Roll a warm boiled egg over them when you're home, or put
sointment on?
“I will,” James answered, already planning to.
Zoey sighed, stroking Lily’s hand with pity. “What a

Her sharp eyes cut to Simon. “You know what Elsa is now, don’t you? Stay away from her. Don’t you dare make a
fool of yourself again!”
Simon said nothing. He knew he wouldn't repeat the smistakes... but cutting Elsa off completely? That, he
still couldn't bring himself to do.
Zoey let them go, and the elders stood outside watching until James's car disappeared into the night before
heading back inside.
But before long, headlights flared behind James. Simon's car sped up, tailing him until he forced him to stop.
He jumped out, face tight, storming to the driver's side window.
