Chapter 113

William texted Esme: [lley, McRovell. Alexander visited the prison today.]

Esme saw the message at work, and her heart skipped a beat.

Esme: What did he ask?

William: Who saved him back then?

She felt a moment of panic but then asked calmly: [llose did he answer?]

William: Don't worry. He was honest.

Esme's brow hitched, feeling guilty inside. Alexander suspected her! Despite his declarations of love and wanting to marry her, he was secretly investigating if she was the one who saved him.

When Elizabeth pushed open the office door, Laura immediately approached her. “Dr. Perry, did you spend a lot of money yesterday? I’m really sorry!”

Elizabeth casually tied up her hair and, noticing Esme, said calmly, “I didn’t pay last night’s bill.”

Esme looked up, surprised.

“We should thank Dr. Russell,” Elizabeth said, leaning on Esme’s partition with a smile.

Esme was confused. “What do you mean?”

“Mr. Tudor paid last night’s bill,” Elizabeth smiled.

Esme was flabbergasted. She had ordered so many lobsters to make Elizabeth spend a lot, but Alexander ended up paying.

“Elizabeth!” Esme pointed at her.

Elizabeth spread her hands and smirked. “I wanted to pay, but Mr. Tudor insisted. I had no choice. So if anyone should be thanked, it’s Dr. Russell,” Elizabeth yawned and went back to her desk.

“But Mr. Tudor is your husband,” Laura said softly.

Esme was displeased. “Their marriage is just in name!”

“In name, they’re still legally married,” Laura retorted, “But you, what’s your relationship with Mr. Tudor?”

Esme jumped up angrily. “Laura, mind your tongue!”

Elizabeth watched quietly. Everyone knew everything but just didn’t say it.

“Why should I listen to you?” Laura snorted, clearly annoyed with Esme.

Donna saw Esme being rebuked and was about to intervene when Amanda walked in, scolding, “I could hear you arguing from far away. Do you think this is a farmers market? Get back to work!”

Laura snorted, grabbed a medical record book, and left.

Esme felt very embarrassed. The office was full of people, and Laura’s questioning made her feel ashamed. Alexander and Elizabeth hadn’t divorced yet. To everyone, Esme’s behavior towards Alexander was simply that of a mistress.

“Dr. Percy,” Sunny knocked on the door. “Mr. Tudor is looking for you.”

The whole office looked at Sunny.

Elizabeth was puzzled. “Is it Alexander?”

Esme felt uneasy. Alexander came to find Elizabeth the night after returning from prison?

“Got it,” Elizabeth told Amanda and went out.

Esme, still in the office, felt even more uneasy. She thought, What does Alexander want to say to Elizabeth? Could he know that Elizabeth was the one who saved him?
