Chapter 385

Elizabeth spun around and followed, “I’m coming.” She didn’t forget to shoot a quick glance back at Gabriel. He looked like the puppet master behind Alexander’s kidnapping. Too bad; Elizabeth only caught a glimpse of the guy’s eyes back then; she had no clue about his full appearance or name. Later, she got hurt and took forever to wake up. They said the culprit had already been caught, so she didn’t stress about it afterward. If he really was the one who nabbed Alexander, he deserved whatever was coming to him. Karma’s a b*tch.

Elizabeth wrapped up her morning grind and checked today’s gossip on her phone. Everyone was all over Kieran, roasting and dragging him.

User one: [This is classic Kieran. Dude’s got zero respect for women!] User two: [What a power move! Honestly, they kinda look good together. Hope Mr. Getty can win over Lila.] User three: [Being drunk ain’t an excuse to force a kiss on someone. Total scumbag!]

Elizabeth let out a sigh. The elevator doors slid open, and she headed to the outpatient pharmacy to grab meds for a patient. “Hey, I’m here to pick up meds for Samuel Walker from cardiothoracic surgery,” Elizabeth knocked on the pickup window. The nurse nodded and turned to fetch the meds.

Elizabeth glanced towards the door out of sheer boredom and suddenly spotted a familiar face. It was Esme. At the same time, Esme was making her way over. Elizabeth pursed her lips and called inside, “Got it yet?” She really didn’t want to deal with Esme. “Hold on, Dr. Percy,” the nurse was bagging the meds.

Right then, Esme chimed in, “Elizabeth, what a coincidence. Picking up meds?” Elizabeth was speechless. No dodging it, so she decided to face it head-on. Elizabeth turned around, hands in her white coat pockets, and smiled at Esme, “Yep. Ms. Russell…”

Esme replied, “It’s Alexander. He got hurt saving you last time. I’m here with him to change his dressing, and I also asked the doctor to prescribe me some calming meds.” Elizabeth nodded, ignoring Alexander’s situation and zeroing in on Esme’s last statement. “Ms. Russell, you should take good care of yourself.”

Esme brushed off Elizabeth’s words and kept on flaunting. “Elizabeth, starting today, me and Alexander are good. Thanks for bringing him back.” Elizabeth immediately raised her hand, signaling, “Hold up. He’s not some object. What do you mean by giving him back? He loves you; you deserve it!” Elizabeth squinted and smiled sweetly.

Esme stepped forward, and Elizabeth instantly took a step back. Esme was relentless and grabbed Elizabeth’s hand. With no escape, Elizabeth let Esme hold her hand. Elizabeth heard Esme pitifully ask, “Can we not be at odds like before, okay?” Elizabeth awkwardly smiled and silently pulled her hand back.

“Let’s put the past behind us,” Esme continued. Elizabeth cut her off, “Esme, let’s just not see each other from now on.” Esme knew Elizabeth well. Since Elizabeth said that, she really wouldn’t hold a grudge for what Esme had done. As long as Elizabeth stayed out of it and Esme played nice with Alexander, Esme would soon marry him. Esme was thrilled. “Thanks, Elizabeth.”

Just then, Alexander was coming over. Seeing Elizabeth and Esme together, he immediately walked over. Elizabeth just gave him a quick glance and bolted. Alexander watched her leave, feeling something slip away inside, very uncomfortable.

“What did you two talk about?” Alexander asked Esme. Esme shook her head. Looking at Alexander, she suddenly had an idea. “Nothing much. I joked that I was about to become your bride.” Alexander’s face darkened, and he frowned. “What did she say?” Esme’s lips curled into a sweet smile. “Elizabeth said she wishes us happiness.”
