Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 328

The sound of the engine got more and more distant. Heather stood on the spot for a full thirty seconds before she gradually came back to her senses. As she looked at the rubble and destruction on the ground, the first thing she thought of was that Matthew was certainly going to blame her for not being able to guard Elise well.

If Matthew thinks that I’m useless. I might not be able to stay by his side anymore. “No, I definitely can’t leave Matt…” Heather mumbled as she began to pace around the space. Soon, her attention was drawn to the small fruit knife by the kitchen’s entrance.

After just a second of hesitation, she walked over and picked up the knife. Then, she ruthlessly stabbed it straight into her left arm.

When Matthew drove back, he could see that the walls on the first floor had already partially caved in. Furious, he smacked his steering wheel. Did you escape again, Elise? Although it wasn’t very likely, he still had a little hope as he revved the car. Once the car came to a stop, he immediately ran inside the house without even taking the time to pull out his keys.

The moment Matthew stepped into the living room, he promptly noticed that the door to Elise’s room was wide open. His last hope was completely extinguished then. When he snapped out of it, he finally noticed Heather lying injured on the couch. Hunching over, he gently shook her. “Heather?”

Heather wasn’t actually unconscious; it was just an act for Matthew. Seeing him panicking, she slowly opened her eyes. “Elise worked together with Alexander. She escaped after she stabbed me. I’m sorry…” she weakly explained.

Now that his chance to turn the tables was gone, Matthew was incensed. However, he couldn’t let his anger show with the pale-faced Heather there. All he could do now was set this matter aside and help her up. “You aren’t to blame. You were alone-how could you have possibly taken on both of them at once? Let’s get you to the hospital first.”

Meanwhile, at the emergency room, the nurse applied some ointment for Elise. After telling her about some things she had to look out for, the nurse left the room. Not long after the nurse left, Alexander came in.
