Chapter 893
Elizabeth paused. The elevator doors opened, and she looked at Alexander for a moment. He thanked her. So unfamiliar. It was strange; she should accept this unfamiliarity. But for some reason, she didnโt want Alexander to be polite with her.
Elizabeth walked ahead, and Alexander quietly followed. Elizabeth asked him, โCan you still drive with your hand like that?โ He raised his hand and instinctively said, โYes, itโs no big deal.โ Elizabeth squinted. No big deal?
Alexander only realized after he exited the elevator that, with his hand like this, how could he drive Elizabeth? โElizabeth,โ Alexander called to her, โIโll call a driver.โ
โThen whatโs the point for both of us? Why donโt I just take a cab back? That way, you wonโt have to go through the trouble.โ
โHow would it be trouble for me?โ Alexander didnโt think it was trouble at all. Being able to spend time with Elizabeth, even for a second, made him very happy.
As soon as they reached the hospital lobby, Elizabeth ran into an acquaintance. โElizabeth?โ
Elizabeth stopped, somewhat dazed, not recognizing who it was. โIโm Delbert Loomis, we were in the same class in college, donโt you remember?โ
Elizabeth paused, not remembering, but she seemed to have a vague impression. Delbert knew Elizabeth couldnโt remember him. โI used to date Esme, does that ring a bell?โ Delbert said, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Elizabeth was taken aback, then looked at Delbert. When Delbert said that, Elizabeth immediately remembered. โEsmeโs first boyfriend in freshman year, right?โ Elizabeth asked. Delbert nodded.
Delbert didnโt have much money back then, and Esme was a socialite. So many people criticized him. The one who criticized him the most was Elizabeth. Elizabeth felt awkward. She felt quite sorry for Delbert. Actually, Delbert was quite good to Esme back then. But she always felt Delbert wasnโt sincere.
โI was wrong,โ Elizabeth joked. Delbert immediately said, โItโs all in the past. After all, our family backgrounds didnโt match.โ
Delbert then noticed Alexander standing behind Elizabeth. He said, โYou and Mr. Tudor?โ โWeโre here to visit a family elder,โ Elizabeth smiled.
Delbert then asked, โAre you two getting back together? There have been a lot of people saying you might be.โ Elizabeth was annoyed. What rumors were spreading nonsense again? They werenโt getting back together.
Elizabeth explained, โNo. Weโre just here to visit an elder.โ Delbert said, โI see. Weโre having a class reunion early next month, are you coming?โ
โIโm not going,โ Elizabeth immediately refused. She barely remembered Delbert, let alone the other classmates. Why would she go, just to be chased around with questions like, โDid you and Alexander get divorced?โ โAre you planning to get back together with Alexander?โ She didnโt want to be a joke.
Delbert said, โCome on. Back then, so many people in our class liked you. Several guys are still single and a good match for you; theyโre all quite successful now!โ
Alexander immediately coughed upon hearing this. Alexander was still standing there. โMr. Tudor. Weโre just chatting casually among classmates!โ Delbert explained.
Alexander said, โShe has work to do. Do you have anything else? If not, weโll be going.โ Delbert was still a bit reluctant. Class reunions were more fun with more people, after all.
