Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 409

Chapter 409 The Wolf Has a Winning Game When the Shepherds Quarrel

Although Alexander was trying hard to sound normal, Elise could still hear how weak he sounded. Even so, she sighed in relief, knowing that he was at least alive.

“Send me your location now,” Elise demanded sternly before hanging up without giving Alexander the chance to say anything.

One minute later, Cameron sent Elise their location through text. Following the GPS, Elise found a double-story wooden cable. After she headed upstairs, she immediately saw Alexander on the bed.

Alexander was topless, but his shoulder to waist was covered by layers of bandages to hide his injuries. Despite that, Elise could tell that his wounds were deep from the amount of blood that was seeping through the bandages.

Still, this wasn’t enough to make Alexander look so pale. Right then, Elise walked forward and grabbed Alexander’s wrist before checking his pulse. Nonetheless, her expression became grim when she felt his pulse.

“You don’t have to check.” Alexander huffed for air. “It’s the same poison that Grandma had as well. However, mine is worse.”

“What happened?” Elise’s mind was in a mess.

Why do the people around keep getting poisoned by incurable poisons? Is this a coincidence, or is it intentional?

Alexander opened his mouth a little. He initially wanted to explain himself, but he turned toward Cameron, who was standing at a side, when he realized he was in no condition to talk. “Please explain what happened.”

“Understood,” Cameron replied dutifully before explaining what had happened last night to Elise.

Upon hearing him, Elise paused. “You should get out now. I’ll start performing acupuncture on him now. There’s too much poison in his body, and he needs to get them out as soon as possible.”

After Cameron gave Alexander a look and got the latter’s approval, he headed downstairs. Meanwhile, Alexander lay down under Elise’s help before she took her carry-on needle kit out. Then, she took a chair and placed it next to the bed before she started performing acupuncture.

During the entire session, Elise was frowning, and cold sweat started forming around her forehead due to her excess concentration, while Alexander stared at her with a slight frown. “Are you still angry?”

Although Elise ignored Alexander’s question at that moment, she purposely strayed from the angle the needle was supposed to enter while increasing her force, causing him to suck in an icy breath from the excruciating pain.

When he closed his mouth, she took the needle out before inserting it two inches away.

Right then, Alexander didn’t know if he should laugh. Even if I’m suffering from illness, this girl really can’t hold her temper back and has to vent, huh?

“We are even now,” he said in a joking manner.

“How are you still trying to flirt when you’re literally losing your life?” Elise commented in an unclear tone while her hands continued moving.

“I won’t lose my life since you’re here,” Alexander assured with a smile.

Right then, Elise paused and looked up at him. “Are you trying to marry me because I’ll be an extremely capable private doctor that will help you out for free?”

“Seriously? Am I that mean of a person?” Alexander frowned before explaining, “I’m just trying to say that you’re my everything. As long as you’re alright, nothing will happen to me.”

Elise shook her head. “Stop with your sweet-talking, Mr. Griffith. I have reasonable ground to suspect that your past isn’t as clean as you claim it to be.”
