Drowning In His Deep Love (Re-edited) novel Chapter 61

Chapter 61 Alexander, Stop There!

Florence was panting. She stared at the man standing in front of her.

The sunlight shone through the leaves of the sycamore trees as if it was gilding his figure with a slight glow.

Though his silhouette was tall, it exuded a tint of melancholy and some loneliness.

Leaves were falling, and time seemed to freeze at this moment. Florence gazed at this scene and was in a daze. At this moment, countless scenes flashed in her mind, and some images overlapped.

Five years ago, she was drugged by Colleen and lost her virginity. When she was still not sober, she vaguely saw the back of that man, who was standing in front of the window.

That night, she remembered the cold moonlight that cast on his broad back and reflected his loneliness. That scene in her memory was exactly the same as what she was witnessing right now.

Florence felt shocked. The memory of that night of her first time was imprinted so clearly in her mind.

She suddenly felt a stinging headache. The man in her memory suddenly turned around. But before she could clearly see the man's visage, a baby's crying woke Florence up and dragged her out of her confusing thoughts.

Florence pulled herself together. A mother, who was carrying a sick and crying baby in her arms, hurried into the hospital's lobby anxiously.

"Something wrong?"

A low and mellow voice was ringing above her.

Florence raised her eyes and looked at Alexander in front of her. At that moment, she had an illusion that years of events were unfolding in front of her eyes within a glimpse.

How did she suddenly remember that night that happened five years ago?

She could remember this, perhaps because facing Alexander made her feel a deep sense of guilt.

Florence managed to calm down and asked, "Zachary's doctor… Did you invite him here?"

"Yeah. I have promised you before. Even if we broke up, I still should fulfill the promise I have made." Alexander expressionlessly said, "Dr. Miguel is a top expert. With him here, you can rest assured."

"Thank you." Florence was really grateful, "Your arm, is it okay?"

Earlier, Alexander said his arm was scraped.

"It's fine." Alexander still looked nonchalant as if they were not familiar with each other at all. They were just chatting like strangers.

"Then your head?"

"It's okay too."

"Oh, that's good."

Alexander's attitude was too cold. Florence suddenly had an uncomfortable feeling in her heart.

In the past, Alexander looked at her with tenderness. He always smiled and called her Florrie, and was always fulfilling her requests.

When Alexander suddenly became cold, like a familiar stranger, it made her feel very uncomfortable.

But it was very normal since they had broken up. Besides, she dumped him. So how could she expect Alexander to smile at her?

There was a lingering silence between them.

The rain had stopped and it was shining, but she still felt a chill.

Alexander started to talk, "If there is nothing else, I'll leave now."

"Sure, there is nothing more. You may just go for your business." Florence tried to squeeze out a smile, and she pretended to reply in a relaxing voice.

Once Florence finished her words, Alexander turned around and left without any hesitation.

Florence was rendered speechless.

This man was changing his attitude drastically fast.

Florence stood in the same place for a while, went back to the ward, and asked Zachary to take care of himself. Then she asked the doctor how much the operation would cost.

But the doctor said it would not cost her anything and the hospital had exempted Zachary from any payments.

This was great news.

Florence thanked him eagerly and left in a hurry to go back to work.

Florence wanted to take a taxi in front of the hospital. She waited for a very long time, but there was no cab.

It was the rush hour, so many cabs were occupied.

Florence intended to go to the subway when a car suddenly stopped beside her. The window rolled down, and it was Alexander.

"Get in, I'll give you a ride." Alexander looked at Florence indifferently.

"No, I'll just take the subway."

"I am not sending you for free. You will have to pay me."

Florence was rendered speechless.

He just treated her as an ordinary passenger.

She thought since Alexander had resolved the issues of Zachary's operation, and she was paying for this ride, then it would be the same to take anyone's car.

Florence opened the car door and sat in.

"Where are you going?"
