Chapter 17
Alexander gazed down at Elise who was in his arms. The young woman‘s lips were pale and her forehead was beaded with cold sweat. Her groans sounded painful yet tender, and she seemed to be in a muddled state of
mind with her eyes squeezed shut. However, her hands were still grabbing onto his shirt tightly.
In fact, Elise only intentionally provoked Nicole with her words when she vaguely heard noises of doors being
opened outside earlier. And it turned out that she was right. Daily latest update www.Noveljar.com
She.let out a long, sharp hiss. Right now, her face was still quite painful.
Alexander put her down on the back seat of the car. When he spoke, his voice was surprisingly gentle. “Do you... need to go to the hospital?”
“There‘s no need for that.” Elise was a little shocked.
Alexander frowned momentarily and sent her back to the Griffith Residence without saying anything more.
When she was back in her room, Elise finally whipped out the phone she hid in her clothes and saw the explosion
of text messages that Jamie had sent her.
‘Are you okay, Boss? Have you been rescued?’
Elise replied, ‘That I have, but it wasn‘t a small price to pay in exchange for it!
Jamie sent her a crying emoji along with the text, ‘That‘s awful, Boss! Is there anything I can help with?‘
I‘ll handle it myself. You don‘t need to know about it! Daily latest update www.Noveljar.com
‘Alrighty, Boss. Let me know if you need anything. Jamie replied cheekily. Daily latest update www.Noveljar.com
Elise made a call after taking care of her energetic lackey.
The receiver sounded very angry when she picked up the call. It was as though she was the one who had
suffered through the incident. “Nicole Snyder, was it? I‘ll take care of it right away, Ellie...”
“Thanks a lot, then!” Elise replied sweetly in a cute voice.
“By the way, Ellie, I‘ll be visiting an old friend in Athesea quite soon, so I’d love to see you as well the woman on

“Sure, sure. I‘ll bring you around and we’ll have fun together.”
The doctor briefly took care of Elise’s injuries and prescribed her some medicine after making sure that she was fine. “It‘s nothing serious for now. You‘ll be fine after some medicine, but we can do a full check–up if something comes up in the future.”
The doctor then left promptly. Now, Alexander and Elise were left alone in awkwardness. He said all of a sudden, “Were you on the phone with someone earlier?”
Alexander knew that he wouldn‘t get any answers out of her and said, “Give me your phone number, then. That way, I can be more efficient when you need anything in the future.” Daily latest update www.Noveljar.com
