Chapter 202 A Secret That She Can’t Bring Herself to Reveal

Alexander’s expression darkened as he replied, “Danny called to inform me that you had fainted, so I immediately came over.”

Elise rubbed her temples and she recalled the situation that led up to her losing consciousness. Shortly after that, she explained, “My blood sugar must have dipped, so that’s why I fainted.”

It was the same diagnosis that the doctor gave, but he noticed that she was clearly paler than usual.

“You should take a good rest if you’re not feeling well. I’ll help to obtain a medical certificate for you so that you don’t have to attend school tomorrow.”

“That’s not necessary.” Elise instantly rejected Alexander’s offer. “It’s close to our final exam. I don’t want to disrupt my studies.”

She had provided an extremely logical explanation, but he refused to accept her objections.

“Your final exam is not as important as your health! Besides, it’s just for one day. If you have any trouble with your schoolwork, I’ll get Danny to tutor you once he’s back. I’ll get him to bring your homework back too.”

“But—”

“There are no buts about it. I’ve instructed Mrs. Lester to prepare some chicken soup for you. Let’s head home now.”

From his words, Elise suddenly realized that they were still in the school’s medical center, so she hastily rose from the bed. However, she had accidentally strained her wounded arm and instantly furrowed her brows as she instinctively reached out to place a hand over her arm.

“What’s wrong? Did you hurt your arm?” Alexander asked as he made a move to check on her condition.

She hurriedly stopped him in response. “N-Nothing’s wrong. My arm just feels stiff after such a long nap.”

Meanwhile, he didn’t suspect that there was something amiss and mentioned, “I’ll help you to get out of bed.”

Elise held him for support as she got out of bed. It was only then when she felt the pain had significantly subsided. “I’m fine. Let’s go home.”
