Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 993

"No, I'm not," Jamie replied. "I'm at the sanatorium right now. Earlier this morning, the Doc asked me to find a type of medicinal herb that could be used as incense that would help Alicia sleep better and would also be beneficial for her condition. I brought it over after work. Did you head to the office to look for me?"

"No. I'm heading home now. You don't need to pick me up."

"Okay, darling. Go ahead and get ready first. Your fiance will be right there."

After ending the call, Narissa glanced up at Jamie's office before turning around and walking back to her car.

Jamie pocketed his phone with a loving expression on his face and turned around. That was when he realized that Alicia had come downstairs at some point and was now standing right in front of him.

This meant that she heard everything he said to Narissa earlier. Their conversation might have triggered her.

Jamie frowned at once and he pondered how he could salvage the situation.

Alicia clutched her chest and swallowed as she tried to hold back her tears. Her eyes were watery as she asked, "You've gotten together with Narissa, right?"

She wasn't a fool. Over the past few days, she heard snippets of the conversations that Jamie had with Narissa over the phone.

It was already a possibility that she had long since deduced, but all this while, she could not bring herself to accept it. She didn't want to believe it.

Jamie looked down. His silence confirmed it.

Alicia felt as if millions of tiny needles were stabbing into every inch of her skin. She closed her eyes and clenched her fists as she told herself to hold onto the very last of her dignity.

"Go on. She's waiting for you. You don't need to come over anymore. I'll be just fine by myself."

She turned around and held the wall as she tried to make her way back upstairs, but she was so weak that her body kept quivering.

Jamie quickly rushed forward to help her. "I'll help you up."
