Coolest Girl in Town Chapter 19

Coolest Girl in Town

Jack stiffened for a moment before quickly getting the security guard to seize the phony reporter. He
frowned as he looked at her bleeding wound, “How are you feeling?”

Elise smiled, “You should take care of your fans first.”

Jack nodded and signaled his manager by giving him a look.

“Sorry, but today’s meet and greet is canceled. See you all another time.”



The fans screeched and shrieked. Jack’s manager simply got the security to surround them.

Jack then helped Elise to the dressing room,



Smack! A sheaf of papers was thrown onto one of the tables in the dressing room. Papers scattered
haphazardly

across the surface, having been dislodged from its neatly arranged pile.

The manager felt dread coursing through
his body. “We‘ve investigated things thoroughly: your antis are behind this.”

Jack was
livid. “And you call yourself a manager? Allowing people to smuggle a knife to a meet and greet?”

“My
apologies. I didn‘t go through the fans‘ belongings thoroughly thinking they were just props.” The manage



r

was filled with remorse.

Alexander looked
at the injured Elise from where he sat. His heart felt tight, as though some invisible rope had

bound it up. With each step he took toward her, that rope tightened its grip on him.

“Enough. I‘m going to send her to the hospital now. You handle whatever you need to do properly.” An un
dercurrent of fury peeked
through Alexander‘s frigid tone. With that, he bent down, scooping Elise into his arms before he left the
dressing room.

The manager only dared to speak again once Alexander had left. He handed a cell phone to Jack.

After the meet and greet had been canceled, Elise‘s name became trending due to the obsessed
frenzy of the fans. Slurs and allegations were hurled at her all across the internet.

‘You can tell with one look that that woman‘s in league with that perpetrator. She failed at being a stan,
so she did

this instead to garner sympathy.”

‘She‘s a master alright!

The manager weighed the situation. “How about I get a good PR agent to make an announcement?”

“You don‘t have to.” Jack said as he quickly typed up a Tweet and posted it.

‘Elise saved me. Please stop spreading false claims! And stop ruining her life!



The manager took the cell phone back, but he didn‘t understand Jack’s actions. “You‘ve never mentioned
anyone in your Tweets before. Why did you do such an illogical move? At this rate, your fans are going to
drop you. You do realize you’re in the midst of a popularity boom, right?”

Jack’s voice darkened. “Don’t try to boss me around just because you‘re my manager. If my brother
hadn’t

recommended you, I would’ve long since gotten someone else.”

It had been a long time since someone had been this kind to him. Elise had rushed over to
push him out of the

way, and even when she was injured, she still smiled at him. He couldn’t let a girl like this to be thrown
out to the

wolves and suffer all that hate speech.

Once Elise was brought to the hospital, the doctor performed a full checkup on her. “Fortunately, it’s just
a minor

wound. It didn‘t cut through your muscles or tendons. Some ointment will be enough.”

Elise had just stepped out of the orthopedics department when she caught sight of Alexander sitting on
the bench by the door. His eyes bore right into her, his expression mildly incensed. “I’ve never seen
anyone this

idiotic.”

“What do you mean?” Elise was
puzzled. He‘s angry? Hey, I‘m the one getting injured here. Why‘s he angry instead?



“Have you forgotten the amount of injuries you have? Yet you still pounced forward!” He froze for a
moment after

the words left his mouth. He seemed to have unwittingly been concerned for her.

Those were clearly words said
out of concern, but they sounded like they were filled with reproach. Elise felt like

she had been wronged for no reason. She had no idea what to say.

Fortunately for Elise, a nurse came over with the medicine that the
doctor had prescribed for her, breaking the stiffness in the air. “You‘re her boyfriend, yes? This is some a
nti–inflammatory medication. Please help her with this.”

Alexander frowned, but he didn‘t speak.

The nurse didn‘t figure out the true meaning behind Alexander’s expression as
she put her hands on her hips and chewed him out. “I could hear you two arguing when I was inside
earlier. Your girlfriend is hurt. You think this is the time
for fights? If that wound goes untreated, it‘s going to get inflamed.”

Alexander still did not speak. He took the medication from the nurse, a cold look on his face.

Elise watched as the nurse chastised Alexander. She felt like she had been saved, and she smiled and
thanked

the nurse. “Thank you. You‘re such a sweet lady.”

Alexander showed no indication of speaking, but his magnetic voice boomed above her head. “Sit down.
I’m

going to apply the medication.”



“And I don‘t want you to be the one applying it for me,” Elise said stubbornly.

Alexander stiffened. He couldn‘t place the expression that he was currently wearing.

When Elise noticed Alexander staring at her, she stared back at him, unwilling to show weakness. Much
to her

surprise, he suddenly leaned in close to her.

“What‘s the big deal?” Elise’s heart hammered in her chest as her eyes widened like dinner plates.

Alexander fell into a trance when he was staring at Elise earlier, and he unconsciously leaned toward her
. When

he finally realized what he had done, he promptly put some distance between them again. His tone was
as cold as ever when he spoke. “Your mind is slow. If you keep dragging things out, that wound is going
to become inflamed.”

Alexander‘s words were intimidating yet logical. Elise obediently stuck her arm out.

Alexander cut away the fabric by the wound with a pair of scissors. The skin revealed under her sleeve
was milky

white and striking, a few shades paler than the skin tone of
her face. He smiled, and without saying another word, he continued
to help her apply the medication. When he recalled the different
Elise he had seen in his bedroom that night, he fell into pensive thought. Looks like something‘s fishy her
e.

Elise turned her head to the side, trying to force herself to stay silent through clenched teeth.



As he applied the medication, Alexander noticed Elise‘s brows knitting together slightly. He then deliberat
ely

softened his movements. “All right. All you need to do after this is get some
proper rest. Also, don‘t go out so often for the time being.”

Elise was puzzled beyond belief when she heard Alexander say that seemingly out of the blue.

“You ruined Jack‘s meet and greet. His fans are not going to forgive you so easily.”

“What kind of logic is that? I saved their darling idol, and they instead decided to turn around and eat me
alive?” Elise truly couldn‘t understand the minds of brainless stans.

“You‘re going to stay at the hospital for now.” Clearly, Alexander didn‘t want to keep elaborating. “If you n
eed anything during your stay, call me. Or tell Danny.”

When Elise recalled the incident, she felt all her hair stand
on end. I suppose staying at the hospital isn‘t half bad.

At least I don‘t have to interact with the Griffiths. “Hm… Okay then.”

And so, Elise ended up staying in a VIP ward that Alexander had arranged for her during her recuperation

day, she woke up to the smell of antiseptic. She‘d never hated hospitals as much as she did then.

One day, the door to her room suddenly swung open while her mind was wandering. A woman with a bea

figure then entered the room.

Elise was still puzzled over the woman’s identity until she saw the woman taking off her disguise to
reveal a



familiar face.

“Aunt Cynthia, why are you here?”

The visitor was none other than international superstar, Cecile Sinclair, or Cynthia Sinclair as she was
known off

stage.

Cynthia‘s thick, blonde hair brushed past her shoulders in bouncy waves. Those thick lashes, that
seductive gaze,

and those thick and sexy lips all harmonized together into a
stunning, charming face that drew others in…

She blinked those lovely, expressive eyes of hers, and her lips parted slightly as she said, “…Ellie?”

Only then did Elise snap out of her
daydream. Oh, right. I still have my makeup on. Of course Aunt Cynthia couldn‘t

recognize me at first glance. She only managed to explain everything that she had gone through after a
lengthy

explanation.

“I think I get it.” Cynthia nodded.

“Oh, by the way, how did you know that I was
injured?” Has news about the incident even spread to other countries? Elise was shocked.

“Dad told me that you got hurt, so he wanted me to come back and see you so that he can get some
peace of



mind.”

“I haven’t seen Grandpa in a long time. I wonder how he‘s doing.” Elise muttered to herself.

“Relax, he‘s doing fine physically.” Cynthia poked at Elise and said in a pitying tone, “You, on the other
hand, why

didn‘t you take better care of yourself? You also got severely injured that other time when you took a
knife for

someone else. Don’t get yourself involved in the future when there’s danger.”

Elise hugged Cynthia affectionately. “Got it, Aunt Cynthia.

Elise was thinking of having a nice, long chat with her aunt when someone suddenly knocked on the door
