Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 616

Chapter 616 You Can’t Leave Anymore

“You—” Sophie frowned, probably knowing that this kind of misguided person would not stand on her side, so she spat out, “Let’s see,” and walked away angrily.

After her call ended, Elise came back just in time to see the two in a bad mood. Mica’s expression was quite dark.

Elise walked over and asked in concern, “Sophie didn’t do anything to you, did she?”

“Her target isn’t me; it’s you.” Mica was upset on her behalf. “Though I don’t know what happened between the both of you before, I think that since Sophie would badmouth you behind your back, she’ll definitely do something else secretly. Elise, you gotta watch your back from now on.”

Elise pursed her lips and smiled lightly. “Sophie must’ve made me seem heinous. Even so, do you still want to be friends with me?”

“I’m an adult. I can judge what kind of person you are for myself. If I have to understand my friends from what other people say, then maybe I wouldn’t be someone worth being a friend with. Even though I’m kinda antisocial, I don’t think that it’s to the extent where I can’t form my own opinions,” Mica said calmly.

Elise voluntarily wrapped her arm around Mica’s and clung to her like they were good friends. “Then I’ll be in your care in the future.”

Who didn’t like to hang out around beautiful women? Mica was flattered to be friends with a celebrity like Elise. Her face instantly flushed red, and she was too shy to say anything in reply. However, because Elise openly acted close with her, Mica became much more cheerful during practice. She was no longer hiding in the corner alone, but took the initiative to drag Elise to interact with the other teams.

As the night gradually darkened, Edwin drove into the psychiatric hospital. As it was currently the time when the patients were most excited, he could hear their eerie screams from all sides of the hallway as he walked.

Besides, it was already past visiting time and it was also late at night, so except for a few nurses and doctors on duty, there were no other outsiders in the hospital. Edwin made his way to Celina’s ward familiarly, then pushed the door and walked in.

The lights were turned off in the ward, and Celina was lying in bed, staring blankly at the dark ceiling. The nurse had injected her with a tranquilizer not long ago, and although the effect was almost gone now, she didn’t have the strength to struggle anymore. In a daze, she heard footsteps approaching her. When she turned her head and saw Edwin’s rough and bumpy face, her face became full of disgust, just like every time she saw him after they got married.

Celina suddenly broke through the effect of the medicine and sat up from the bed. “I told you, I don’t want to see you anymore. If you show up in front of me again, I’ll ask my dad to break your leg. You think I’m joking, don’t you? If you want me to lend money to some trash like you, forget it. When Dad comes next time, I’ll tell him about this. Let’s see how you can remain in the Saunders Family!”

If it were before, Edwin would’ve felt devastated as though his heart twisted like a knife, but today, he was unfazed, and there was even a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. With his back facing against the light, his whole face looked very terrifying. Celina was overcome with anxiety, and she couldn’t help but turn her head away and clutched her blanket tightly.

“If you don’t leave, I’m gonna call for help.” Celina lowered her voice, not wanting to irritate him.

“Are you afraid, Nana?” The corners of Edwin’s mouth lifted, and he whispered softly as though he were soothing a child, “Don’t be afraid. I’m not here to borrow money from you. I’m here this time to do one last thing for you and free you from this place.”
