Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 1004

When Jamie heard her words, his eyes darkened as he scanned his surroundings. When he didn't see Narissa in sight, he sat straight up and pulled out the infusion tube forcefully.

"What are you doing?" Suella was dumbfounded by his actions.

He isn't mad because I say those things, is he?

"Thank you two for saving me. I'll treat you guys later, but I must leave for now." As Jamie spoke, he threw back the covers and tried to get out of bed.

"No." Suella pushed him back down. "There is no way I will let you leave without thanking us. You can't turn your back on us once you wake up. This is just horrible. Do you ever think about how Alicia would feel?"

Looking at her, Jamie sighed inwardly since she was being unreasonable. "You must have misunderstood me. I respect Alicia, but my fiancée fell down the mountains with me. Thus, I can only be at ease once I see her." He was anxious and guilty since he had dragged Narissa down the hills with him, so he didn't have time to care about anything else.

"Oh, so that's how it is. Alicia's feelings aren't as important as your fiancée's, I see. Do you not feel sorry for her when she saved you after what you had done to her? If I had known you would still think only about your fiancée, I would've let you die on the street!" Suella said as she wouldn't let him leave.

At this moment, Jamie's whole body was hurting. Thus, he couldn't struggle out of her grip since he was weak. Moreover, Suella was a woman that saved his life, so he couldn't do anything to her.

"I don't care. We are the ones who saved you, so it's up to us as to when you can leave," Suella said arrogantly at the thought of being his savior.

Right then, Alicia entered the room and scolded her, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about, Suella?!" Then, she looked at Jamie calmly. "I'm sorry about this. She is just worried about you. If you want to leave and find Narissa, just go ahead."

"Are you stupid, Alicia? How can you let him get away with this easily?"

"That's enough!"

Although Suella insisted on holding Jamie's custody, she held back her words unwillingly when Alicia glared at her coldly. Then, she turned her back toward them since she couldn't stand looking at the two.

Seeing that the problem was solved, Alicia turned to face Jamie. She was calm and composed, for she didn't want to pressure him or ask him a favor. The reason she saved him was that she felt like it, after all.

As Jamie looked at her, he seemed to have known what she was thinking and looked at her deeply. "Thank you." Then, he dragged his weak body slowly out of the door.

When the sound of footsteps disappeared, Suella turned around and complained, "Sometimes, I wonder what is going on in your head. You love him, yet you keep pushing him away. Why are you making life hard on yourself?"

Hearing her words, Alicia smiled bitterly and thought, As long as he is happy, so am I. It doesn't matter if I'm making things hard on myself.

Thinking about it, she took a deep breath and calmed down. Then, she told Suella sternly, "We were never a couple, to begin with, Suella. Not now, not ever. We have our own lives, and you are embarrassing me by saying those things. I hope you can stop bringing it up and causing unwanted scenes." After she had finished her words, she stepped out of the room. When Suella wanted to follow, she stopped her. "I want to be alone right now. Let's stop seeing each other for the time being." Then, she turned around and left.

"Alicia! Alicia!" Seeing that Alicia had ignored her, Suella stomped her feet in frustration.

What did I do to deserve this? I wouldn't be doing these nasty things if it weren't for her. Yet, she didn't thank me and even blamed me for creating a mess. That's just great. Now, I am the villain on each side of the story. I should have known about this since Alicia is a woman from the riches. As expected, she is selfish, irresponsible, and has no shame! Just wait! When I hook up with someone wealthy, I will never want to be Alicia's friend!

In the meantime, gold and dollar bills filled up the living room at Griffith Manor. There were also several antiques placed around. As Raymond counted their loot, his smile never faded.
