Coolest Girl in Town Chapter 202

,Coolest Girl in Town

Alexander’s expression darkened as he replied, “Danny called to inform me that you had fainted, so I
immediately came over.” Elise rubbed her temples and she recalled the situation that led up to her
losing consciousness. Shortly after that, she explained, “My blood sugar must have dipped, so that’s
why I fainted.” It was the same diagnosis that the doctor gave, but he noticed that she was clearly paler
than usual. “You should take a good rest if you’re not feeling well. I’ll help to obtain a medical certificate
for you so that you don’t have to attend school tomorrow.”



“That’s not necessary.” Elise instantly rejected Alexander’s offer. “It’s close to our final exam. I don’t
want to disrupt my studies.” She had provided an extremely logical explanation, but he refused to
accept her objections. “Your final exam is not as important as your health! Besides, it’s just for one day.
If you have any trouble with your schoolwork, I’ll get Danny to tutor you once he’s back. I’ll get him to
bring your homework back too.” “But—” “There are no buts about it. I’ve instructed Mrs. Lester to
prepare some chicken soup for you. Let’s head home now.”

From his words, Elise suddenly realized that they were still in the school’s medical center, so she
hastily rose from the bed. However, she had accidentally strained her wounded arm and instantly
furrowed her brows as she instinctively reached out to place a hand over her arm. “What’s wrong? Did
you hurt your arm?” Alexander asked as he made a move to check on her condition. She hurriedly
stopped him in response. “N-Nothing’s wrong. My arm just feels stiff after such a long nap.” Meanwhile,
he didn’t suspect that there was something amiss and mentioned, “I’ll help you to get out of bed.”

Elise held him for support as she got out of bed. It was only then when she felt the pain had
significantly subsided. “I’m fine. Let’s go home.” Alexander grunted in affirmation and immediately led
her out of the medical center. However, he suddenly reached into his pocket and turned to her. “I left



my keys inside the room. I’ll head back to grab it. Why don’t you wait for me here?” Elise agreed and
he subsequently detoured to get his keys. He returned to the room and found his keys by the bedside
table. Just as he was about to leave, his eyes suddenly noticed something while his gaze lingered.

There was a prominent bloodstain on the originally white bedsheet, which caused his expression to
instantly darken. He didn’t make his way out to join Elise, but stopped to have a word with the doctor.
“Doctor, was my fiancée injured?” The doctor had discovered a wound on Elise’s arm when he
conducted his medical examination. Despite that, he noticed that she had already attended to the
wound, so he wasn’t extremely fussed about it and merely assumed that it was an ordinary injury. As
such, he replied frankly, “Her arm was injured, but the wound had already been dressed. Being her
fiance, weren’t you aware of it?”

At that point, Alexander’s expression was thunderous. She didn’t tell me that she was injured! I don’t
even know when she sustained that injury! He suddenly realized that he wasn’t exactly the greatest
fiancé. “Thanks, doctor.” As he said that, he reached for his wallet, took out a stack of notes, and
handed it to the doctor. “You’ve done a great job.” With that, Alexander walked out of the room. As
soon as Elise noticed him walking toward her, she recollected herself and feigned that everyone was
alright despite the intense pain that she felt on her arm.

In addition to that, she went forward to ask him, “Have you found the keys?” Alexander nodded. “Let’s
go home.” Subsequently, the two of them entered the car whereby both of them were lost in their own
thoughts and didn’t speak a word to each other throughout the entire journey to the Griffith Residence.
Upon their arrival, Elise immediately opened the door and alighted from the car to enter the house
whereas Alexander remained seated in the car. He trained his eyes on her back as she walked inside.
Then, he heaved a deep sigh and dialed Cameron’s number. “Get me some medication for wounds.
Get more of it and send it to my house.” Cameron thought that Alexander had hurt himself and instantly
probed with concern, “What’s going on, Mr. Duncan?



Which part of your body did you injure? Is it bad? I’ll be there right away!” This was the first time ever
that Alexander found Cameron being loquacious, but he answered Cameron’s questions nonetheless,
“I’m fine. Just get everything ready and send it to me as soon as possible.” After hanging up the phone,
Alexander then left the car. Elise went into her room and she immediately locked the door after that.

Then, she located the first aid kit in her room and took out some pain relief medications. Without any
hesitation, she immediately swallowed them; it was as if by her doing so, the pain could somehow
slightly subside. She wasn’t exactly sure of the reason, but the gunshot wound that she had sustained
this time felt much more intense than before to the point where she was close to breaking down. It
wasn’t until there was a knock at the door when she realized how long she had been in the room. She
reflexively opened her eyes and asked, “Who’s there?”

“It’s me!” The two simple words were paired in a familiar voice. Instantly, Elise rose to her feet and saw
her reflection in the mirror. After making sure that she looked perfectly alright, she proceeded to unlock
the door. “Do you need anything?” She asked Alexander who stood by the door. At that moment, he
was carrying a big hand in his hands and walked right into the room without uttering a single word.

His sudden action was enough to cause Elise to feel anxious, but shortly after that, he abruptly asked,
“Did you injure your arm?” At this moment, Elise was stunned by his question. How did he
know?! However, Alexander didn’t wait for her response and continued with his words, “Here are some
medications to apply on your wound. There are two boxes of pain relief inside as well. They’re quite
effective.” “H-How did you know about it?” He honestly replied, “I saw the bloodstains on the bed sheet.
You must have been quite badly injured. So, let me help you to dress the wound.”

“No, thanks. I’m alright.” Elise subconsciously blurted out those words in that moment without even
realizing it. Then, she realized it moments after that and felt that her reaction was uncalled for. Then,
she tried to explain, “No, that’s fine since it’s just a minor wound. I’ve dressed it myself, so it’s not a big



deal.” At that moment, Alexander clearly sensed her abnormality and she seemed to be avoiding
something.

“Give me your hand and let me take a look at it.” Although Alexander had a no-nonsense attitude, Elise
was well aware that he would be able to recognize her wound as one sustained from a gunshot as
soon as he saw it. That would render all of her previous efforts futile. “I-I… There’s no need for that.
Look, I’ve properly dressed the wound and it’s fine.” She made a gesture and rolled up her sleeves to
show him the bandage that she had put on. The wound was nicely bandaged and it looked alright.
Meanwhile, Alexander intently scrutinized her arm with a frown.

“When did you injure yourself? Why didn’t you tell me?” Elise had no choice but to respond, “It’s just a
minor wound, so it’s not a big deal at all. I’ll be fine in a couple of days’ time.” As soon as she had
finished her words, Alexander reached out and took her into his arms. Their bodies were intertwined
with each other and she could even hear his heartbeat by the side of her ears. “Is it because you don’t
trust me?” Alexander’s voice gradually rang out. “As your fiancé, I was the last person to learn about
your injury. Do you know how terrible I felt?” At that moment, Elise bit on her lower lip.

“I’m sorry—” She had just started to say something when he interjected, “There’s no need to apologize.
I’m the one who failed. I haven’t done enough to give you the confidence to have the utmost trust in
me. Can you promise me that from now on, you won’t keep anything from me?” She lifted her eyes to
meet his intense gaze. At that moment, he sounded extremely sincere, which had left her at a loss on
what to do next.

She was hiding a secret from him and it was one that she couldn’t bring herself to mention. “Alexander,
I—” Before she could finish her sentence, his warm lips swooped in and stopped her from saying
anything else with a single action. He slowly explored as he deepened the kids by taking in her
wondrous lips. It was as if he was about to mold her into himself. It rendered her mind completely
blank, but she instinctively responded by returning the kiss.
