Anastasia’s gaze immediately locked on Elliot. For some reason, after two days of not seeing him, she felt that he had lost weight and his face had paled. Did he catch a cold?
He shook his head. When he looked at her, she quickly turned away, not wanting him to think that she was worried.
“I’m here to make a statement too,” uttered Elliot in a low voice.
“Okay. Go ahead!” After saying that, Anastasia turned around and wanted to leave.
Rey quickly took the opportunity to offer, “Miss Tillman, let me send you off.”
As she walked toward her car, he followed suit and said, “Please be gentle with President Presgrave. He’s sick.”
“Anyone can fall sick. Isn’t that normal?” Anastasia turned to him.
“No, President Presgrave is suffering from a severe cold and a heart problem this time. Ever since he returned from saving you that day, he hasn’t slept for two days. He started coughing last night and he doesn’t look well either. After a check-up, they discovered a problem with his cardiac regulation,” explained Rey.
As she tightened her grip on the door handle, she uttered, “Tell him to take his medication on time!”
“Sure. Drive safely, Miss Tillman.” Rey had mentioned everything that he had to say.
Once Anastasia left the police station, she drove to her father’s company. Throughout the drive, all she could think of was Elliot’s pale face. He’s an adult! How can he forget to take his medication? Even my son can remember such an easy task.
When Anastasia arrived at Tillman Constructions, she entered her father’s office. There were a few key personnel in a meeting with him as he instructed her to take a seat and sit in for the meeting.
She tried her best to understand their conversation. However, she wasn’t familiar with the construction industry at all, so she had a hard time comprehending the minutes of their meeting.
At lunchtime, Alex came. The moment he saw Anastasia, he couldn’t help but feel butterflies in his stomach like he usually did.
Knowing that Anastasia and Elliot would never end up together, Francis eagerly attempted to matchmake Alex with his daughter again.
Alex was a sensitive person, so he was ecstatic when he heard from Francis that he had a chance to woo her again!
Though he didn’t know why Anastasia had broken up with Elliot, it was still an ending that he anticipated!
“Anastasia, I’ll let Alex accompany you in the afternoon while I meet some friends,” said Francis to Anastasia.
She nodded in response. After experiencing the event that followed after picking up her son last time, Alex intentionally brought her for a tour of one of the departments. As expected, when Anastasia realized it was time to pick her son up from school, they didn’t have time to finish the tour.
“I should leave to pick Jared up now. Can you send me to his school, Alex?”
“Of course!” exclaimed Alex.
Then, he drove her to pick her son up where he silently observed her on the way there. He noticed how she looked gloomy throughout the car ride. It was obvious that she was having a rough time in her relationship.
When they arrived at the school, Anastasia rushed out of the car to meet Jared and left her phone in the car.
Two minutes after she left, her phone rang. Alex grabbed her phone and saw Elliot’s name on the screen. He picked it up intentionally and said, “Hello, President Presgrave? I’m sorry to inform you that Anastasia’s phone isn’t with her.”
“Who are you?” Elliot’s voice sounded chilly.
“I’m Alex Hunter. We’ve met before, President Presgrave.”
“Where is she?” an unhappy Elliot questioned.
“She’s gone to pick Jared up, and I’m waiting for her at the school gates. Is there something you want to tell her? I’ll pass on the message for you.”
“It’s fine.”After saying that, Elliot hung up the call.
Hearing that, Alex smirked. His purpose was to create a false impression that he was close with Anastasia so that Elliot would be jealous and disappointed in her.
Little did he know that this phone call was more than just a disappointment to Elliot.
Elliot, who was sitting in Rey’s car, suddenly felt suffocated and started coughing violently. Seeing that, Rey quickly parked his car by the roadside and opened the backseat door while asking, “President Presgrave, are you alright?”
Elliot grabbed his collar, closed his eyes, and gasped, “It hurts!”
“Should I take you to the hospital?” Rey was so anxious upon seeing Elliot. It was his first time seeing Elliot so weak, after all.
“Send me to Anastasia’s house.” Doctors and their prescriptions couldn’t cure Elliot. In fact, Anastasia was the only one who could heal him.
“Don’t hold on anymore. You should go to the hospital this time,” Rey urged anxiously.
“I am well aware of my own body.” Elliot shut his eyes and ordered, “Send me there.”
Is Alex planning to have a meal or visit Anastasia’s house by sending her and Jared back home? Or is he trying to take the opportunity to take advantage of Anastasia?
He was a man, so he knew what other men thought. Moreover, he had been someone like that in the past.
Therefore, he had to drive Alex away, even if that meant being despised and resented by Anastasia.
Since he was unable to persuade him, Rey could only start the car and silently hope that Anastasia wouldn’t do something to provoke Elliot anymore.
After Anastasia entered the car with Jared, Alex asked, “Miss Tillman, should I send you home or pick up your car at the office?”
“Just send us home!” Since the next day was a weekend, Anastasia figured that she didn’t need the car, and she didn’t want to go back and forth with Jared.
Hearing that, Alex was delighted. He quickly thought about excuses to be invited into her house.
“By the way, you left your phone in the car just now. President Presgrave gave you a call.” Alex pretended to be reminded of the call.
“What did he say?” Anastasia inquired with a frown.
“He didn’t say anything in detail. Perhaps it was me who answered the call, so he didn’t sound happy. He just hung up the call,” Alex deliberately described Elliot as a cold person.
Anastasia knew Elliot well, and it did seem like something he would do.
When they arrived at Anastasia’s housing area, Alex suddenly asked urgently, “Miss Tillman, may I use your washroom? It’s a little urgent.”
Of course, Anastasia felt bad to reject him, so she nodded. “Sure. Come on, then!”
“Jared, is your bag heavy? Should I help you carry it?” Alex quickly tried to befriend Jared, wanting to win him over.
