Chapter 152 Don’t Tell Me—An Abortion
Elise’s ankle injury wasn’t all that serious. By the next day, she recovered. Coincidentally, it was Alexander’s turn to send her to school today.
“Thanks for yesterday. I owe you one. I’ll be sure to pay you back in the future when I get the chance to.”
Alexander gave an evil smile as he looked at her. Those bottomless eyes of his were seemingly filled with boundless admiration. “Elise, I didn’t help you because I wanted something out of it. Why don’t you consider making this act real?”
Elise was stupefied by that. It felt like something was stuck in her throat, and she began to cough violently. Her face was soon a brilliant red. “W-What kind of joke was that?”
Alexander’s initially tense heart relaxed at her words. He just wanted to test the waters, but it seemed that she didn’t feel that way toward him, so he followed the flow of the conversation. “Just teasing. If you really feel like you owe me, just leave that debt be for now.”
Alexander strode out as he spoke. Elise’s forehead was beaded with sweat from confusion. She just had the feeling that Alexander was being weird today. Right at that moment though, her heart also calmed down from its frantic hammering after she heard his words. No one knew just how bewildered she had been just now; she even thought that her ears were playing tricks on her. Fortunately, she had good self-control, or she would have ended up making a scene.
She muttered to herself, “This guy… He’s actually learned how to crack a joke.”
When they arrived at school, Elise got out of the car and waved at Alexander. “I’m going in. See you later.”
Alexander made an affirming sound, only leaving once he had seen her head inside.
Not long after that, however, Jack parked his car in the same exact parking spot. Mikayla hurriedly undid her safety belt. “Dar—”
She nearly called him ‘darling,’ but she ended up holding her tongue right before she said it.
“Thanks for sending me to class, Jack, but I’m fine now. You don’t have to worry about this matter either.”
Jack hummed. “So long as you’re okay. If you don’t feel well, text me. Don’t force yourself to weather through it. If you feel sick, you must go to the hospital immediately.”
Mikayla’s heart was overfilled with joy as she listened to his instructions.
“Got it. I’m going to class then.”
Although she was a little reluctant, Mikayla still opened the door and alighted from the car. She ended up looking back several times with each step she took before she finally set foot on campus, still reluctant to part with Jack. The moment she stepped inside the classroom, she caught sight of Elise, and she made her way over to her. “Elise, I’m sorry, but my phone was broken earlier. That’s why I didn’t text you back.”
Elise looked up and smiled. “It’s fine!” But right after that, she noticed something different about Mikayla. “What happened to your face?”
Mikayla touched the tiny wound that still remained as she explained, “It’s nothing much. I just had a small accident. Everything’s okay now.”
Elise sighed at that. “What are the odds? We even got into accidents at the same time.”
“What’s wrong? Did something happen?” Mikayla quickly asked.
Elise let out another sigh. “I went horse-riding yesterday and got thrown off my horse. Luckily for me, it wasn’t anything serious. I’ve recovered from the fall already.”
Having heard Elise say that, Mikayla promptly sat down. “Actually, I got hit by a car,” she whispered.
