Chapter 227

Alexander went quiet a few times. Elizabeth’s eyelashes fluttered. What started as a joke turned serious. The room was dead silent, their breaths loud. Elizabeth noticed Alexander’s breathing quicken before he pushed her away, panicked.

“Don’t get your hopes up,” he said. He’d never love Elizabeth. His cold response left her stunned. “Don’t get your hopes up,” she echoed. He’d told her that countless times.

Alexander straightened, adjusted his collar, and avoided her gaze, staring out the window instead. Elizabeth watched him for a bit, then smiled. “I was joking, but you seem mad.”

“Don’t make weird jokes. They’re not funny,” he said, frowning, sounding urgent.

Elizabeth pouted and sighed, “So harsh, Mr. Tudor.” Her tone had a hint of playfulness. Alexander glanced at her; it was rare to see her so relaxed. Their eyes met. Elizabeth’s eyelashes fluttered again.

Alexander pressed his lips together, speaking lightly. “If you don’t want me to be harsh, behave.”

Elizabeth propped her face with her hands, smiling. “Do you like obedient ones?”

“Definitely not someone like you,” he said through gritted teeth.

Elizabeth pouted, “Yeah, you like someone like Esme!” He looked at her, about to refute, but stayed silent, tacitly agreeing. Elizabeth chuckled and took a bite of her food. He had made beef, which tasted good, but Elizabeth found it tasteless.

In the quiet, he suddenly said, “It’ll rain tonight.” Elizabeth didn’t respond. He looked at her and asked, “Are you scared?”

“No,” she replied stubbornly.

Chapter 227

Alexander was about to say something when his phone rang. It was Esme. He frowned and looked at Elizabeth. He had to go. She glanced at his phone and nodded. “Okay.” Only Esme’s calls made him leave immediately.

After he left, Elizabeth lost her appetite. She checked her phone; the forecast showed thunderstorms tonight. Elizabeth cleaned up, changed clothes, and went to the cardiology department. Sunny had the night shift, and Elizabeth was happy to see her.

“Sunny, I’ll keep you company tonight!” she said playfully. Sunny was flattered. “Why aren’t you resting?”

“I slept too much during the day!” Elizabeth said, sitting down. Sunny chuckled and let her be.

At night, it started storming. Sunny was dozing at the nurses’ station when a loud noise woke her. She felt a weight beside her and found Elizabeth clinging to her, crying. Sunny put a blanket over her.

Elizabeth woke up, startled, and grabbed Sunny’s arm. “Dr. Percy, are you okay? Nightmare?” Sunny asked, worried.

Elizabeth, slightly sweaty, shook her head and glanced at the time. “Why don’t you sleep inside?” Sunny suggested.

Elizabeth shook her head. “No, I’ll stay here with you.” Sunny smiled and asked, “Dr. Percy, are you hungry?”

Elizabeth blinked, and Sunny brought out snacks. Sunny played a variety show on her phone. “Relax.” Elizabeth rubbed Sunny’s head. “Sunny, you’re so nice!”

Sunny replied, “Of course…” They watched the show, not noticing the elevator and hurried footsteps.
