Coolest Girl in Town Chapter 434

Of Course I’ll Bear the Consequences!

Later that night, when the entire residential area was dead silent, a specially modified ambulance came
to a halt in front of the house. A short while later, the ambulance drove out of the town with a total of
four cars escorting it from the front and back.

About one hour later, in the ICU of a private hospital, two men were standing beside a glass coffin.
Thomas took one look at the man inside before he dragged Alexander over to the side. “Didn’t I say
this before? He’s a comatose patient—he’s not going to wake up. Why are you sending him over?”

“We need your place to conduct a surgery,” Alexander replied calmly.

“A surgery? For the guy in the coffin? What sort of joke is this?” Thomas was utterly dumbfounded and
bombarded Alexander with a series of questions. Although Thomas wasn’t the most experienced
doctor, he was still one of the most capable specialists in Tissote. Wouldn’t he be able to tell if a man
showed any signs of waking up from a coma? Putting such a patient through surgery would only cause
greater harm to the patient’s body.

However, even after Thomas finished speaking, Alexander gazed at him with the same stern
expression on his face. Elise, who was standing beside them, had an equally serious look.

“You guys aren’t joking after all.” Thomas was certain when he saw their faces. “No way.” He held his
arms out to stop them from moving. “I’m a doctor, and I have the duty to protect patients. You guys are
fooling around with another man’s life, and I will not agree to this!”

Thomas had just finished speaking when Claude strolled over in a white lab coat. Thomas noticed
Claude from the corner of his eye, and he immediately spun around to realize that Claude was the
doctor who was going to conduct the surgery. Thomas hastily leaped forward to stop the man. “Hey!
What sort of scammer are you? How could you suggest for the patient to undergo surgery when he’s in



this state? Do you know that the patient might die if you make any mistakes with the craniotomy? Are
you going to bear the consequences?!”

“Yeah, yeah.” Claude eyed Thomas with an innocent look on his face. “I’ll bear all the consequences.
You’re such a handsome man, so of course I’ll be the one to bear the consequences!”

Thomas hastily put his arms in front of his chest. “I’m talking about the patient’s life! This is a serious
situation—I’m not fooling around with you! Won’t you feel guilty if that man dies? You guys can take
risks if you want—just don’t kill a man in my surgical theater!” Thomas stuck his chin high to show that
he wasn’t going to work with them.

“You’re going to agree to our plan eventually.” Claude grinned as he stuck his hands into the pockets of
his lab coat.

“Hah! I’d never agree with some rookie doctor like you…” Thomas lowered his head as he spoke, but
the very moment he met Claude’s gaze, he noticed grains of white powder being thrown toward him
from the side. Thomas held his arm up to block the powder, but it was too late—he had inhaled some of
the substance. Moments later, he felt his legs turning to jelly. Thomas clutched onto the wall for
support, but he slid down the wall and collapsed onto the ground. “H-How dare you drug me?” Even his
voice had turned softer as he lay on the ground weakly.

Claude bent down to pat Thomas on the head. “Just stay here and wait for us to come out, okay?”
Claude said with an evil smile on his face.

Thomas could only watch as a few people walked into the surgical theater. Soon after that, the red light
that said ‘surgery in progress’ lit up above the doors. Thomas knew then that it was too late for him to
do anything. He calmed himself down and narrowed his eyes to glare at Elise and Alexander
resentfully. The couple was seated on a long bench outside the surgical theater, and Alexander
pretended not to see Thomas as he reached his hand over to give Elise’s hand a squeeze.



Upon witnessing their actions, Thomas widened his eyes in shock. He was dumbfounded by what they
were doing, but he was too weak to react. Are you guys really human? I can’t believe you guys are
showing affection to each other when I’m in this state!

It was almost like Alexander could read Thomas’s mind because just then, Alexander shot a glance at
Thomas before looking away. Thomas felt like he was nothing but a piece of furniture in the room. Isn’t
anyone going to pick me up from the ground? Thomas thought as he glared at them speechlessly.
Doesn’t Elise have some magical acupuncture skills? Is she pretending to be blind right now? Ugh!

However, Elise couldn’t read Thomas’ mind. She lowered her gaze and looked at Alexander’s large
hand squeezing hers, and a sense of security filled her insides as she felt the warmth of his hand. It
had been a while since she felt that way. Moments later, Elise looked up to meet Alexander’s gaze.
“Are you done being angry?” she asked calmly.

“Since when was I angry?” Alexander gazed at her with an enigmatic look on his face.

“Why have you been ignoring me if you weren’t angry at me? You haven’t been pestering me for the
past few days,” Elise uttered.

Alexander tilted his head sideways. “Do you need me to pester you?”

“Of course,” Elise replied without any hesitation. She only realized how intimate her statement was
after she finished her words. It was such a primal thing to need someone and to be needed by
someone. In the past, Elise had always been an independent woman who could deal with things on her
own. However, she realized a shift within her after she met Alexander.

She got used to having him around, to having someone to talk to, and to having someone she could
occasionally order around… She got used to Alexander. Alexander had become a constant in her life a
long time ago, but Elise hadn’t noticed it in the past. She didn’t want to admit it even after she realized



what was going on. Being accustomed to a person would mean that she had a weak spot that her
enemies could target.

When Alexander realized the look of surprise on Elise’s face, his gaze lit up like there were balls of fire
in his eyes. What lovely words to hear! She just said that she needed me. Just those few words are
enough to eliminate all of the envy, suspicion, and distance that I’ve felt in the past few days. If my
suffering can provide me with Elise’s validation, then I’m willing to go through the same things for the
rest of my life.

Alexander let go of Elise’s hand and put his arm around her waist. He pulled her in for a hug. “I love
what you just said.” Alexander rubbed his chin against the top of her head lovingly. “Why don’t you tell
me two sweet things each day from now on, Ellie?”

“Why do you need two sweet things? Can’t I just give you one each day?” He’s such a demanding
man, Elise thought.

“Because I like it that way,” he replied with a smile.

She felt her face burning. “Is that a valid reason?”

“Of course.” Alexander wrapped his arms around her. “Anything you say about me is music to my ears.”

Elise attempted to wriggle her way out of his arms to disagree with him. However, Alexander only
tightened his arms around her. “Don’t bother trying to bargain with me. I’ll request you to tell me two
sweet things during every meal otherwise.”

“Fine.” Elise gave up and allowed him to hug her. After a moment of silence, the couple realized a
piercing glare that seemed to be burning through their skin. They let go of each other as they both



turned to look at Thomas. They saw a man with his eyes narrowed and his teeth gritted—he looked as
if he wanted to eat them up.

God, please just punish me if I’ve ever sinned. I just don’t want to watch this couple acting like they’re
in some romance movie! Thomas thought.
