A Secret That She Can’t Bring Herself to Reveal
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.
