Elizabeth grabbed Esme’s arm and shoved her back.
With a scowl, Elizabeth yelled. “Are you done yet?

went silent.
Esme fell to the ground, her face red, and two buttons popped off her shirt.
She looked up at Elizabeth, tears streaming. “Elizabeth, did you just hit me?”
So what if I did? You deserve it,
rve it, acting like a lunatic!” Elizabeth’s voice was icy.
Esme pointed at Elizabeth, gasping and crying.
She pulled out her phone and called Alexander, sobbing, “Alexander, Elizabeth hit me. Come quick!”
“Esme!” Laura shouted, “Why drag Dr. Percy into this?”
Esme knelt, glaring at Elizabeth with hatred. She didn’t care about
about Laura; it was Elizabeth she despised.
At the nurses station, Sunny treated Esme’s scratches, glancing nervously at Alexander.
Alexander, in a black
ck suit with a crooked tie, looked worried. He was exceptionally handsome, with a defined jawline and thick eyelashes.
The tension was high. Sunny, close to Alexander for the first time, barely dared to breathe.
“Alexander, it hurts,” Esme clutched
his arm.
“Be gentle,” Alexander told Sunny, his tone stern.
Sunny nodded, already being as gentle as possible, sweat dripping from her forehead. She didn’t dare hurt Esme.
Alexander glanced at Elizabeth,

was tending to her own scratches.
Elizabeth sensed someone looking at her and raised her head, but no one was paying attention to her. Instead, she saw Alexanders concerned look for Esme.
Elizabeths heart tightened. She remembered when he had carried her to the ER after she was hurt by broken glass. His gentleness then couldn’t compare to his care for Esme now,
She thought about how he had left her in the hospital last night after they talked about Esme. It felt ridiculous. Didn’t he know she was terrified of thunderstorms?

The fake saffron issue was buried, but Elizabeth stirred up the media. She mocked me in the office and hit me.” Esme started again, hugging Alexander’s waist. “Why does Elizabeth treat me like this? I didn’t mean to give fake saffron. My parents never hit me. Alexander, it really hurts.”

Elizabeth ignored his glare and focused on Esme, thinking she was such a hypocrite.
“What did I do to you? Elizabeth demanded.
She thought, Wasn’t I the one who tried to break up the fight and got hurt?”
Maybe her tone was harsh. Esme trembled and snuggled into Alexander’s arms, looking pitiful.
Alexander frowned, gently stroking Esme’s back. “Elizabeth, Esme didn’t mean to send the fake saffron; she was tricked. I know you sent the real one, but there’s no need to be so aggressive,”
“How am I being aggressive?” Elizabeth asked, confused.
“Right now!” he replied coldly,
He thought, Look at her, demanding answers and not letting it go sn’t that aggressive?
Elizabeth was speechless.
“Esme is already hurt because of you. What more do you want?” he questioned, disappointment in his eyes. “Don’t you know Esme is very weak? She can’t even fight.
Sunny held a bottle of iodine, about to say Esme wasn’t beaten by Elizabeth, but Esme glared at her to keep quiet.
Elizabeth stared at Alexander, feeling helpless. Weak? Esme could take on both of us, and she’s weak? Whet loses all reason. She’s always his first choice.”
When it comes to Esme, he

Now it seemed, it was just his charity.

The atmosphere was particularly gloomy.
