Chapter 243 You Have Changed
Alexa did not expect Kieran to get mad because of this.
After he finished speaking, he picked up the medicine cabinet and avoided her.
"Don't take it personally. I overthought," Kieran said gloomily.
Lowering her head and seeing the neat badges, Alexa put on a light smile.
Kieran refused to look at her until he was hugged from behind.
"Mr. Powell?"
Alexa's voice was soft. Then, she changed the way she addressed Kieran.
"Kieran."
Kieran cleared his throat.
Kieran got tense. His voice turned hoarse.
"What's wrong?"
"Don't be mad at me, please."
Feeling her curves, Kieran was turned on.
"I'm not mad at you."
"Then smile at me," Alexa teased.
"Stop messing around."
Kieran let go of her and finally cracked a smile.
Alexa sat down, covered her arm, and groaned.
"Are you alright? Does it hurt?" Kieran went over nervously to see whether she was fine.
"Dr. Powell, your smile is the best cure."
Breathing a sigh of relief, Kieran gently pinched her cheek.
"Don't play such a trick on me, silly girl."
"Are you asking me as my boyfriend?"
"It's a doctor's advice," Kieran said, grinning.
They went out when Alexa's injury was treated.
Seeing Alexa straightening her clothes, Terrence pulled her over unhappily.
"What were you doing inside? Why did it take so long?"
"Bandaging my wound. Let go," Alexa's answer was curt, stained.
Alexa cheered up a bit when she saw Brenton, the only one in the ward apart from Athena.
"It's been a while. How is she? Is it serious?" Alexa asked softly.
Brenton glanced at her with his flat voice.
"Athena is pregnant. But it is too dangerous for her because of her congenital heart disease."
"Well, get some treatment. She will get better."
Alexa had good intentions. Unexpectedly, Brenton got up and looked crossed.
"Don't tell me that you don't know."
Alexa was puzzled when she heard the question.
"Know what?"
"Everyone in New York knows that Athena is pregnant. Why did you argue with her in public?"
Brenton was trying to restrain himself.
Alexa could not wrap her head around it.
"There must be some misunderstanding. I did not argue with her," Alexa smiled politely.
"If that was the case, why would Alexa prick my daughter with needles? You’re not a good doctor. You don't know better," Diana retorted.
Alexa listened without giving any explanation.
"Is she a witch?" Daniel narrowed his eyes.
Brenton wanted to say something, but he bottled it up as he avoided Alexa's gaze.
All the evidence showed that Alexa was the culprit. Brenton just didn't know whether he should believe Alexa or not.
"I was left with no choice. If I had not done that, she would have died," Alexa said casually.
"Bullshit! Do you know anything about medicine? You don't!" Daniel snapped.
"Believe it or not. It is up to you." Alexa shrugged nonchalantly.
Kieran remained silent because her treatment was not conventional and he had not seen it before.
However, Terrence trusted Alexa.
Terrence glanced at them impatiently. "Don't you understand? My wife saved her."
The fact that Terrence spoke up for her surprised Alexa, who was a bit touched.
"Mr. Ramsey..."
Terrence interrupted Daniel, "Alright. You either apologize or I will take you to court. You have two hours to think about it."
With that, he wrapped his arm around Alexa's shoulder and walked out with her.
Kieran's gaze flickered, but he did not follow them.
Alexa was very awkward.
"Why do you trust me so much? No one believes me." Alexa pretended not to be unconcerned.
"Why not?"
Terrence stopped, pushed her against the wall, and lifted her chin.
"Alexa, remember. You mean a lot to me."
