Chapter 641 I’m Your Brother!
The traffic police officer took a few seconds to confirm that he was unharmed. Then, after he calmed down, he took out his police officer badge and pressed it against the glass. Then, he pointed at Danny and said, “You! Get out of the car immediately!”
In the end, he also called Alexander and Elise out of the car.
However, Danny bore the primary responsibility as the driver. The traffic police officer charged him with reckless driving and announced that he would be detained at the police station for three days.
“Heh heh. Mr. Police Officer, can’t you give me a chance? I didn’t do it on purpose! I swear I’m a good citizen!” Danny tried to butter up the traffic police officer with a smile.
The traffic police officer was unmoved by those words and calmly wrote a ticket.
When he saw that the traffic police officer was straight and just, he could only ask for help from Alexander. He nudged at Alexander’s arm and desperately pleaded with his eyes. “Alex, say something!”
“Okay.” Alexander nodded and turned to look at the traffic police officer. Then, he spoke in a solemn voice. “All men are equal in the eyes of the law. Please bring him back and teach him a good lesson.”
“Huh?” Those words left Danny dumbstruck. “No…”
Before he could argue, Alexander asked in all seriousness, “That being the case; please detain him well, Mr. Police Officer. Can we drive the car away now?”
“Go on. Go on. Be careful on your way.” The traffic police officer waved them away dismissively.
“Okay. I’ll make sure to obey the traffic rules.” After Alexander finished speaking, he invited Elise into the passenger seat. Then, he circled around the car and got into the driver’s seat, shutting the door firmly behind him with a bang. Moreover, this was all done right in front of Danny.
“Alex, you can’t just leave me here!” Danny ran over and pounded on the car window. “Alex, I’m your brother!”
Alexander calmly buckled his seat belt and started the engine. Then, he turned to look at Elise and asked gently, “Are you ready?”
Elise nodded dazedly and pointed at Danny, who was pounding on the car window. “Are you really going to leave him here?”
He looked up and responded without the slightest change in his expression. “There’s always a price to pay for eavesdropping on a conversation. Besides, he was the one who selfishly brought you to the company. So just think of it as a small punishment for him. I’ll ask Cameron to pick him up later.”
He released the clutch and drove away after saying that, leaving behind Danny and the traffic police officer glaring at each other.
She observed the direction they were traveling before she asked, “Where are you going?”
“I’m sending you home,” he answered faintly.
“No need,” she replied seriously. “The so-called public relations crisis management indicates that we need to get the situation under control in the shortest time possible after the incident. I’m already too late as it is. We can’t waste any more time. Let’s go straight to the hospital.”
He fell silent for a moment before he stopped the car by the side of the road.
“I don’t want you to get hurt.” He stared straight ahead with a gloomy expression. “I’ll take care of everything. You don’t need to worry about it.”
“Will I stop worrying just because you asked me not to worry?” She looked at him expressionlessly and continued almost obsessively, “What if I ask you to stop thinking about me or break up with me right now? Can you do it?”
She did not know what was wrong with her. It might be that most women were unreasonable when they were furious.
Although she was worried about him, she was also furious at him. She was furious that he refused to let her share his burden even though something terrible had happened to him. She was furious that he assumed her feelings for him to be so fragile. She was also furious that she had failed so badly in life. In the eyes of the man she loved the most, she was a person with whom he could only share the joys but not the sorrows in life.
The words she shouted at him rendered him speechless. Yet, at the same time, the strength of his grip on the steering wheel increased. He did not even dare to imagine the scenario. Could he oppose her if she really made such a request of him? This was what it was like to love another person. Once he had somebody he loved, he was filled with self-doubt and became timid. He was always worried about losing his beloved person.
Her heart suddenly softened when she saw the troubled look on his face.
“Well? Why don’t you refute it? Why don’t you resist? Weren’t you so talkative on WhatsApp? Why are you acting like a mute now?” she asked aggressively. “Tell me that you love me. Tell me that you can’t bear to leave me. Tell me that you won’t allow me to fall in love with another man. If you don’t say anything, how am I supposed to know? I seriously don’t know if you love me too much or if you don’t love me at all. How can you listen to other people claiming that I care about somebody else so much and still be so indifferent? Or, is it to say that you don’t need my love?”
“Who said that I’m indifferent?” He hurriedly explained. “I love you. I love you more than anything else in the world. Because of that, I care about your feelings more than mine! Ellie, I’ve said this before. There is only one thing I want to do for the rest of my life. And that is to make you happy. As long as you’re happy, it doesn’t matter what I have to do or whether or not it wrongs me.”
“But, I’m not happy! I’m not happy at all!” Tears streamed out of the corner of her eyes. “I wanted to see you, but I couldn’t! Even if I lied to myself and tried to convince myself that I’m not sad, my heart just doesn’t feel happy anymore! Do you understand!?”
“Don’t cry. Ellie, please don’t cry. I was wrong.” He was utterly panicking at this point. His hand trembled slightly as he helped her wipe the tears from her face. “I won’t ever leave you alone again. Even if you chase me away in the future, I will stubbornly stay by your side every single day!”
Then, he finally pulled her in his embrace once more and hugged her with all his strength, almost as though he would only be satisfied once they merged into one.
It’s this warmth. It’s this distance. Only with this can I feel that we are in love with each other. She exhaled deeply and sniffled before she returned his hug.
“Alexander, I don’t want to hide anymore. We are married. I chose you, and I won’t ever regret this decision. Since I can’t take good care of myself, I’ll give myself to you. Take good care of me, lock me up, tie me up… It doesn’t matter as long as I’m completely yours.”
His heart ached painfully at those words. He asked tentatively, “Ellie, if I’m not me or if I’m a terrible person, will you still love me?”
She looked up at him with a sincere gaze. Her long eyelashes were wet with tears, which added an element of fragility to her appearance. “I’ve already fallen in love with you. There’s no going back now. Even if you are a villain, I can only give my everything to pull you out of the abyss. But I know that you’re not a villain.”
He stroked the top of her head and secretly made up his mind. Once this food poisoning incident has passed, I will confess to her.
After he reigned in his emotions, he drove her to the hospital where the girl with cancer was receiving treatment.
Thomas was performing surgery on the girl. Therefore, Elise and Alexander rushed directly to the operating room door.
The girl’s family was a gray-haired mother, who was currently sitting forlornly on the bench along the corridor. She and her daughter were dependent on each other and relied on each other. But, now that something had happened to her daughter, she felt as though her sky was about to collapse.
When she heard the sound of footsteps, she slowly raised her head. The moment she caught a clear glimpse of Alexander’s face, she suddenly lost control and lunged at him. “It’s you! It’s all your fault! You made my daughter like this! Return my daughter’s life to me!”
Alexander did not resist and simply endured the woman’s fists in silence.
A short while later, Elie’s thin and slender body stood in front of him. “Ma’am, please calm down!”
