Chapter 143

He said, “Well, at least you didn’t lose.”

Elgin rolled up her sleeve and gave it a thorough once-over, making sure there weren’t any wounds on her.

If Letitia had lost and got her face scratched up, and Elgin couldn’t lay a finger on Shela, he’d really be… at a loss for what to do.

The whole way there, he was worried she wouldn’t be able to hold her own. Thankfully, she didn’t end up shortchanged.

Letitia paused, not quite catching his drift. She pulled her hand back, dodging his touch, “Next time I see Shela, I won’t let her off the hook!”

“Leave Shela to me. You stay out of it.”

Letitia snorted, “Elgin, don’t you always claim you love me? Why do you still take her side when it’s between me and Shela?”

It looked like he was shooing Shela away, but in reality, he was protecting her!

“Are you jealous?” Elgin raised an eyebrow and asked.

Letitia was taken aback. Was she jealous?

Elgin said he liked her, but when it came down to her or Shela, he still treated Shela better.

To be honest. Letitia was genuinely miffed. Why can men talk the talk but not walk the walk?

Love, isn’t it supposed to be exclusive, not just a preference?

“I’m not.” Letitia denied. “You can totally side with Shela all you want, what’s it to me!”

With that, she turned to leave.

Elgin reached out, pulling her into his embrace, “I need to take responsibility for Shela, I owe her that. I hope you can understand me

Letitia nearly laughed in exasperation, “Why should I understand you? If my mom hadn’t made it through this surgery, Shela and I would ve been sworn enemies for life! I’ll make her pay!”

She didn’t know what was between Elgin and Shela, and she didn’t care to know.

After hours of agonizing waiting, finally, the lights in the operating room went out.
