Chapter 181

Elizabeth looked coldly at the man on the ground. She lightly wiped the corner of her mouth with her fingertip, then beckoned him with a finger, looking confident. When the woman saw her husband lying on the ground, she crawled over, crying and begging Elizabeth, “Please, don’t hit him.”

Elizabeth was surprised. This woman was actually pleading for this man. The woman continued, “Don’t hit him. If he gets injured, our family will be completely ruined.”

Elizabeth was shocked. Even at this moment, this woman was still thinking about her family. Elizabeth was about to throw another punch but found the woman blocking her, fiercely protecting the man. Elizabeth’s fist stopped in mid-air.

The woman said, with tears in her eyes, “Don’t hit my husband.”

“The police are here!” someone behind reminded Elizabeth.

Elizabeth was pulled away by the police. She looked at the woman in disbelief. The woman kept her head down, still holding the man’s hand.

At the police station, the officer asked, “What happened?”

“It’s just a small family matter,” the woman explained softly, head down. “Elizabeth got involved and hit my husband.”

Elizabeth let her eyes rest on the woman in front of her. The woman didn’t dare look at Elizabeth and asked the officer, “It’s just a small family matter between my husband and me. We didn’t break any laws, right? When can we go?”

She was clearly very weak from the beating, yet she still spoke up for the man at this moment.

“Elizabeth, you speak!” the officer asked.

The woman finally looked up at Elizabeth. Elizabeth frowned, finally understanding what Amanda meant by telling her not to interfere with patients’ affairs. Everyone thought they were tough, capable of helping the whole world. Looking back, she couldn’t even save herself, yet she wanted to save the world. She meddled too much. Elizabeth loosened her head, her volte faint.

Outside the box, Alexander crossed his arms and frowned upon hearing this. Alexander’s phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, he irritably pressed the hang-up button and looked back at Elizabeth.

“Let’s settle this privately. I’m wading into all the counts,” Elizabeth said calmly, pressing her lips together. After speaking, Elizabeth stood and asked, “Can I leave now?”

“You need to have a family member bail you out,” the officer reminded Elizabeth.

Elizabeth looked up at Alexander for help. She didn’t want to worry her parents, so she hoped Alexander would help bail her out.

Alexander bailed Elizabeth out, and as she glanced back at the police station, she gave a self-deprecating smile. In the end, it was all for nothing.

“Are you okay?” Alexander’s voice came from beside her.

Elizabeth looked at him, lost in thought. In Alexander’s mind, women probably didn’t matter much either. Otherwise, how could he easily move between two women? Perhaps, to many people, women were not worthy of respect. They were playthings, balls to be kicked around. At that moment, she despised men, and weak women, including herself.

“I’m fine, thanks,” Elizabeth replied.

“I’ll take you home,” Alexander said, thinking she didn’t seem well.

“No need,” Elizabeth smiled and decisively refused.
