All Chapters of Saved To Be A Substitute: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Lillian's POV. "Lillian, it's not like that," Alexander muttered, leaning closer. "I'm just surprised by everything. I'm not thinking straight right now, and I don't know what to do. I don't want to hurt you, but I don't want to hurt...""You don't want to hurt Jessica either," I sniffled. "I know I should understand you by now, but the selfish part of me wished you would choose me without hesitation.""Lily, this is all so confusing to me," Alexander admitted, his bewilderment evident. "I'm in a dilemma. I don't know how or what to feel about this situation. My feelings are all over the place."Fresh tears streamed down my cheeks at his words. I couldn't blame him for being confused. I was in a tight spot too. I seemed selfish to everyone for taking Jessica's place so easily, but I also wanted to stay with Alexander.I loved him. It would be hard to let go after everything we had been through together. I just couldn't imagine my life without him. "I remember my promise to you," he

Lillian's POV. "Ma'am, I'm sorry but all the rooms have been booked," the receptionist said to me."I let out a sigh of disappointment. This was the second hotel I had been to. The first one told me the same thing. It seemed like everything was working against me tonight."Isn't there somewhere else I can sleep?" I inquired, my voice low, unwilling to receive any judgmental looks."I didn't get that, Ma'am," the receptionist said, looking confused.I didn't know if her confused look was genuine or if she just wanted to mock me."I asked if you had a room or somewhere in the hotel that I could stay for the night. I'm a bit desperate right now and it's so late already," I muttered, my voice straining with exhaustion."I would have loved to help you, but there is no other space available ma'am. I could direct you to another hotel nearby where you might find a place to sleep," she said, her tone polite but firm. I lowered my gaze to my weak legs, wondering if I could walk any further.

Lillian's POV.I didn't know why I jumped straight to that assumption, but if she didn't have kidney issues again, then why would she be in the hospital? She would be foolishly trying to help that monster out of jail instead. Besides, the way her face paled in surprise confirmed my suspicion."I thought Dustin got you a new kidney?" I muttered, crossing my arms over my chest. "What happened again?" I asked, unconcerned, but curious. "Oh, I see," I nodded, my lips curving into a wicked smile. "You couldn't get my magical kidney. The one that was supposed to preserve your life. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Such a pity."Maureen looked horrified at my reaction. But what did she expect? Did she think I would feel sorry for her end wish for Jesus Christ to heal her? How stupid was she?"What's with that stupid smile on your face?" she cried out, tears slipping down her cheeks."What's wrong with the smile on my face?" I retorted. "Shouldn't i be happy that you're finally getting what you deserve? I mea

Author's POV.A sly smile appeared on Jessica's lips. She knew how soft Alexander could be. She also knew how to get him when she wanted."Are you sure you want to do better, or you're just saying it so I won't get dramatic again?" Jessica smirked, almost rolling her eyes.Before she turned to Alexander, the smug look on her face vanished and was replaced with a feigned sad expression. "I'm saying it because I don't truly want to treat you this way," Alexander said, his voice laced with sincerity. "I don't want to see you hurt or in pain.""So, you're treating me this way because you pity me?" she lifted her brows, setting a bait for him. "No," Alexander shook his head, but deep inside that was what he felt for her. He couldn't shake off the feeling that he didn't love her as much as he did before. He was happy that she returned and escaped that awful life, but apart from that, he felt nothing else. "Are you sure, Alexander?" Jessica asked, her voice low and calculating. "Are you

Author's POV.Lillian was visibly astounded by her words, but she refused to be afraid. She didn't just come here to waste her time. She came for a purpose, and she was going to fulfill it."I'm sorry for being so intrusive, but I need to have my accounts unfrozen by Alexander. I'm not here to see him for anything else" Lillian said, hoping she would understand. "I know why you're upset, and I would be enraged if I were in your shoes, but I need you to please let me talk to him," she added, her tone considerate."Shut up!" Jessica shunned her. "You're nothing but a golddigger. Have you no shame at all? Imagine not having an income of your own as a grown woman. Such a disgrace to womanhood."Lillian felt so insulted by her words but saw no point in fighting with her. She just needed to see Alexander and get things sorted out.She was already looking for a job, and one seemed to be more promising than the others. She didn't think she was a disgrace because she didn't have money. She wo
