Too Late, Mr. Billionaire: You Can't Afford Me by Thedora Birnir




Chapter 848:

But this time, Ernest said nothing. Not even his usual curt "Okay."

Elissa pressed her lips together and stayed quiet. She couldn't see him, but she could feel something was off. He was upset. She didn't know why, but the weight of it filled the silence.

Had she troubled him too much?

She couldn't deny it. She had indeed brought him more than a few problems.

Still, most of it hadn't been her doing. Like today, she hadn't asked for his help. She didn't even know why he had shown up.

Ernest was indeed upset and he knew exactly why he was mad. And it wasn't at her. He was mad at himself.

Since the last time Robin had taken Elissa away, Ernest had been thinking it over. Redmarsh was no longer a safe place for her. He'd been trying to find a way to move her somewhere else without looking suspicious.

Today, he had come to take her with him.

Unfortunately, he had arrived a little too late.

Elissa had almost gotten hurt again.

Ernest said nothing. The quiet stretched between them, heavy and tense.

Elissa sat with her hands clasped tightly in her lap. It felt like sitting on pins and needles. Finally, she found the courage to speak. "Mr. Flynn, may I ask... where are we going?"

Ernest didn't answer. Instead, he looked toward Quentin in the front seat.

Quentin caught the signal and turned slightly. "Miss Holland, you must

understand Redmarsh isn't safe for you anymore. Robin could come after you again at any time."

On their way to Redmarsh, Ernest had actually been deep in thought, trying to figure out how to convince Elissa. But Robin's appearance had unexpectedly taken care of that for him.

Elissa sat quietly, her eyes wide open. She knew Quentin was right. But where could she go?

Just then, Quentin spoke again. "Miss Holland, the Flynn family owns a sanatorium. You can stay there for now. Living alone isn't easy, especially with your condition. The facility has doctors, nurses, and caregivers. You'll be well looked after."

It sounded ideal and peaceful.

However, something held her back. A place like that must be expensive. Elissa hesitated. "I don't have much in savings..."

She had been managing her day-to-day expenses just fine, but a private sanatorium was a luxury far beyond her reach, just as it would be for most.

Elissa frowned, and her fingers tightened around each other. Ernest was too kind, and she felt she didn't deserve that. Sensing her reluctance, Quentin added, "Miss Holland, try not to overthink it. Do you have a better place in mind?" The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!
