Chapter 814
“Elizabeth. We just missed each other, Alexander’s voice was a bit hearse, the liquor burning down his throat, “Because of my mistakes, we’ve missed so many years. Let’s not miss out anymore.”
Life had too many crossroads.
Fortunately, they were still on the same path now. At the next intersection, he might still be standing there, but he knew Elizabeth wouldn’t be waiting for him anymore.
From then on, he and Elizabeth would drift further and further apart never to meet again.
Elizabeth shook her head.
Her face showed little emotion, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
Alexander sat down in front of Elizabeth. He reached out and grabbed Elizabeth’s wrist, pulling her back as she was about to leave.
“Let’s not miss out anymore. Forgive me, and let’s live a good life together. Elizabeth, I will make you happy,” Alexander’s every word
was sincere.
But Elizabeth couldn’t accept his sincerity.
If he had spoken to her like this even once during their three years of marriage, she might have been happy for days and nights.
But not now.
Her heart was already shattered, unable to bear his sincerity.
“Then drink, and show me your sincerity,” Elizabeth smiled faintly.
She was being perfunctory..
Alexander knew she was being perfunctory, but he was still willing to do what she wanted him to do.
He drank with her.
As long as Elizabeth was still willing to talk to him, still willing to sit with him, he was already very satisfied.
He picked up one glass after another, downing them in front of Elizabeth.
Elizabeth couldn’t say a word, watching the once high–and–mighty Alexander humble himself before her. She kept asking herself, is
this the result she wanted?
Her heart ached for the man, damn it.
But she had once loved Alexander so much.
She was even willing to risk her own life to save him.
What would it take for her to completely harden her heart and cut off contact with him?
Lisbun wasn’t too big, but it was not too small either. If Alexander wanted to find her, she knew she couldn’t escape.

Chapter 814
Elizabeth drank two more glasses, but she couldn’t drink anymore.
Alexander was just drinking, not speaking.
He just found it laughable.
Elizabeth was sitting right next to him, so close. But her heart was far away.
“God, Elizabeth! Elizabeth!”
Suddenly, someone walked up to Elizabeth with a look of shock.
They were two young men in their twenties, tall and thin.
Elizabeth was also a bit shocked when she saw their faces. She quickly stood up and greeted them, “Hey, Grayson Bishop, Cole Perry! What a coincidence to run into you here. Long time no see.”
Grayson said, “Elizabeth, you haven’t changed a bit!”
Elizabeth replied, “No way, I feel like I’ve gotten uglier.”
“Not at all, you’ve always been beautiful. You were the recognized beauty of our medical school.”
Elizabeth chuckled. ‘Recognized beauty? I was more like a recognized joke.‘
Loving Alexander had made her a joke.
So she didn’t care about anything Alexander said.
Believing a man’s words was the start of suffering.
Elizabeth chatted and drank with them.
One of them looked at Alexander.
In the dim light, and with Alexander not looking up, he asked, “Who’s this?”
“Don’t know,” Elizabeth smiled.
When Elizabeth said that, Alexander was truly heartbroken.
It hurt more than if Elizabeth had said he was her ex–husband.
Elizabeth had a few more drinks with them, and they exchanged contact information before leaving.
They were Elizabeth’s college classmates, and they hadn’t seen each other in a long time. After graduating, they had changed their phone numbers.
It was quite a coincidence to run into each other at a bar.
When Elizabeth returned to her seat, there was no more alcohol left for Alexander to drink.
He had drunk a lot.
