My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 1727

Opal now had an intense dislike for Alina, convinced she was nothing more than a manipulative vixen who had ruined their family's peace. When Alina mentioned Lulu, Opal's face darkened further.

"If it weren't for you running their relationship, do you think Lulu would have stayed away after Theodore's car accident? She even called you. Lulu is just too kind."

Warren chimed in with equal displeasure, his tone stern. "Theodore's condition is still uncertain. He's in surgery."

Moments ago, Alina could convince herself to excuse their hostility as worry for their son. Now, she felt no need to justify it.

They clearly didn't like her. They preferred Theodore's fiancée, Lulu, which explained why Theodore kept vacillating between them.

Taking a deep breath, Alina said evenly, "I don't know how Theodore explained our relationship to you, but I didn't interfere in his engagement."

"If you weren't intent on being with him, why would you come to the hospital?" Opal's voice was sharp, and her beliefs were unshakable.

Alina felt humiliated. "If you have any doubts, you can ask Theodore when he wakes up."

Just as she finished speaking, her gaze shifted, and she suddenly spotted Skylar. Her face turned pale in an instant.

Skylar nodded at her politely but said nothing.

But Alina seemed to be in a daze as if she had lost her sense of self. She never imagined running into Skylar here. This encounter was far worse than their previous one.

Her lips parted as if to speak, but no words came. In this situation, the truth was painfully evident.

Just then, Alexander approached quickly.

He went straight to Skylar. "Skye, thank you for everything. It's just a minor surgery, you should head home and rest."

Skylar smiled calmly. "With Edgar at home, there's no rush. I'll leave once Caleb's surgery is done. Mr. Gardner Senior, you can wait in the ward if you'd like. The surgery should finish soon."
