Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 1068

The moment Paul woke up, he started blabbering again. "We just got out of a dangerous situation together, Narissa. You should feel something for me now. I'd still do it again if I were given the choice. If you promise to date me, I'll train myself once I get out of the hospital. I promise I can protect you. Um, Narissa? Hello? Earth to Narissa? Can you say something?"

Narissa grunted.

"Just a grunt?" Paul was miffed. "I'm a patient. Can't you at least be nicer to me?"

"No." Narissa was worried about Elise. She had no time to chat with Paul. "You should talk less and rest more, Mr. Patient."

"Might as well tell me to kill myself." Paul was a little hurt.

"I'll pick your sister up," Narissa excused herself.

"Hey, don't leave me alone!"

Narissa ignored Paul's howls and left the room, but then she bumped into Alicia who had come to see her brother. It was their first meeting after the resort, and both of them looked fidgety. Things were awkward for a moment.

He broke the silence. "Well, don't just stand there. Come in."

Alicia snapped out of it and went around Narissa to see her brother. "So, are you alright? Does it hurt?"

"I'm alright." Paul patted his wound like it was some symbol of pride. "This is a badge of honor. Proof that I defended the woman I love."

"I'll leave him in your hands, then. I have something else to do. Goodbye." Unwilling to stay any longer, Narissa left.

Alicia hesitated for a moment, then she went after Narissa. "A minute, please," she called out.

Narissa stopped, but she didn't look back. Coolly, she said, "I owe Paul one. Call me if you need anything, but don't stop me now. I have someone to save."

"It's not that." I can't let Paul hear this. She approached Narissa and mustered up her courage to say, "You might not believe me, but I never wanted to ruin your relationship with Jamie. You're the one he loves. Always. He thought I was you, so…"

"None of my business," interrupted Narissa. She refused to hear any details. "We've broken up."

Alicia wanted to ask why, but she realized why before she could even speak, and she frowned guiltily. "He loves you. He wouldn't have even given me a moment of his time if not for the drug. Everyone makes mistakes. Please, give him a chance. Give both of you a chance."

"You think too lowly of yourself. You're not as unimportant to him as you think, and I don't need this chance. If he can't stay loyal to me, then that's not the love I want. There's no need to be together if that's the case." There was nothing but cold fury in Narissa's eyes, yet her heart hurt. This was a regret of hers. Life was filled with it, and she ran into one of the worst ones life had to offer.

"Everyone wants perfect love, but not everyone gets it. What if you never meet a guy like him ever again?" Alicia was conflicted. She thought she was a sinner. She was the one who destroyed a loving couple.

"Then I'll just live my whole life without a partner." Narissa smiled bitterly, then resolve filled her eyes. "I will not settle." She said that as if she was reminding herself, and then she strode off.

Alicia stood around for a while, then she went back to the ward. Standing in front of the ward, she took a deep breath to calm herself, then she entered the ward with a smile. "What do you want for dinner? I'm cooking."

"I'm fine with whatever." Paul craned his neck, but Narissa was nowhere to be found. "Where's Narissa? Is she gone?"

An hour later, Suella arrived at the ward bearing flowers and fruits. The Heidelberg siblings frowned, and they asked in unison, "Why are you here?"
