Chapter 302
Everyone turned to Elizabeth, waiting for her to spill the beans. Especially Alexander; his eyes were practically burning holes into her. Elizabeth glanced around the office, feeling a bit lost for words. She thought, Should I just say Iโm not useless and I gave the spot to Esme?
โCome on, speak up! Esme treated you like crap. What are you waiting for?โ Mark snapped at Elizabeth, his glare intense. โWhy are you being so overly nice? Does Esme even care? She took your spot, our man, and keeps coming after you! Elizabeth, are you a doormat?โ Mark almost had Elizabeth backed into a corner.
Alexander kept his eyes locked on Elizabeth, his hand slowly clenching into a fist. He was waiting for her to say yes.
โElizabeth, if youโve got something to say, just say it,โ Nick said calmly. They all had faith in Elizabeth.
Elizabeth looked at Alexander and smiled. โIf I say it, will you blame me for hurting your first love?โ
For a moment, Alexander was speechless. Elizabeth looked him in the eyes and said, โYeah, thatโs right, I gave the spot to Esme.โ
No matter if Alexander would blame her, Elizabeth was done with holding back. Mark was right; she had put up with enough over the years, hadnโt she? What did she get in return for all her patience?
Alexanderโs face showed a flicker of shock. He frowned, clearly in disbelief.
โBack then, I got into Lisbun Medical School, but I was tight with Ebe. She wanted to go too but couldnโt get in. I felt bad and gave her my spot. The dean didnโt want me to miss out, so he let both of us in under a two-for-one deal.โ
Elizabeth was the one who got in, and Esme just tagged along. Mark was spot on. Elizabeth wondered, โHow does he know?โ
The office was dead silent. Elizabeth had always thought sheโd have to clear her name someday, but she didnโt expect it to be in the hospital office.
Alexander, unmoved, his voice dry, said, โWhy didnโt you say it before?โ
โSay what? That Loton got into medical school because I brought her in?โ Elizabeth looked at Alexander and chuckled. โYou never asked, so what was I supposed to say? Besidesโฆโ
Elizabeth suddenly paused. Alexander stared straight at her.

Elizabeth smiled. Had she said it, would you have believed her? Later, Esme would act all sweet and say Elizabeth was the less intelligent one. Alexander would believe Esme in a heartbeat, wouldnโt he?
Alexander suddenly choked up. The vibe in the office was a bitโฆeerie. Amanda and Nick exchanged a look and then glanced at each other. So, Elizabeth had been through a lot over the years, huh? Nick thought about Elizabethโs medical skills and felt pissed that he was called useless. Erabath was the real deal. She was so capable, yet she put up with all that crap. Elizionet was on a whole different level.
