Because I Was an and He Threw Away 271

Chapter 271 Misunderstanding 

The night sky was studded with stars, painting a breathtaking picture. 

Below, just across, was the hospital garden, clearly visible from where Emily stood on the relatively low floor, thanks to her sharp eyesight. 

With a single glance downward, she spotted Alexander and Nancy in the garden. 

When Alexander first got Nancy’s message, he rolled his eyes, not keen on replying. But then, weighing some things in his mind, he texted back: [Alright, tell me where and I’ll come.] 

Nancy sent the hospital garden’s address. 

As soon as Alexander stepped into the garden, his eyes landed on Nancy sitting on a bench. She looked like she was freezing, her arms crossed tightly around herself. 

Hearing the footsteps approaching, Nancy turned around. At the sight of Alexander, a warm smile lit up her face. “Mr. Lessing, you’re here,” she said softly. 

It was the beginning of winter, yet Nancy was only wearing a long–sleeved dress, no jacket to keep the cold at bay.

That was a question he’d been itching to ask. 

But Nancy took it as a sign that Alexander was jealous of Ethan because of her. 

Nancy didn’t get mad. Instead, she shivered and asked in a sweet, pleading voice, “Mr. Lessing, I’m so cold. Can I borrow your jacket?” 

Alexander frowned for a second, then his face relaxed, and he said casually, “Sure thing.” 

Then, he took off his jacket and tossed it onto Nancy’s lap. 

Even though his move wasn’t gentle, Nancy saw it as a sign that Alexander cared. 

If he didn’t, why would he give her his jacket? 

Once Nancy put on the jacket, the cold seemed to melt away. 

Noticing Alexander still standing, she shuffled over on the bench and invited, “Mr. Lessing, wanna sit down for a bit?” 

Alexander looked at the small space Nancy had made. If he sat, they’d be practically glued together. 

After a moment’s thought, he tilted his head, raised an 

eyebrow, and said with a hint of playfulness, “Sit? Or 

2/6 something more?”

His words, with that drawn–out tone and his handsome, 

slightly mischievous face, were enough to make anyone’s mind wander. 

Nancy blushed bright red. 

Caught off guard, Nancy didn’t know what to say. 

Alexander didn’t wait for an answer. He just plopped down 

beside her. 

They were so close that their shoulders almost touched. 

Nancy’s heart was pounding like crazy, and her face was as red 

as a tomato. 

Alexander turned to look at her and asked straight out, “You’re really a virgin?” 

There was a hidden spark in his smiling face. 

Nancy met his gaze and nodded. “Yeah,” she replied simply. 

Hearing that, Alexander burst out laughing. 

Nancy felt a mix of nerves and unease watching him. 

Suddenly, Alexander stopped laughing and said to Nancy, “Since you’re new to this, how about we have a date sometime?”

The sight of Nancy feigning ignorance stirred up a storm of revulsion in Alexander’s heart. 

However, he managed to suppress those feelings and kept his disgust well–hidden. 

With a smile on his face, Alexander maintained his position, still facing Nancy. He gradually inched closer to her. Just as his lips were about to graze her cheek, he abruptly pulled back. 

At the same time, he drawled, “Well, when you show up, it’ll all become clear, won’t it, Ms. Thompson?” 

Rather than spelling things out, Alexander left the statement hanging, creating an air of mystery. 

But the message was loud and clear to Nancy. 

Upstairs, Emily peeked down. 

From her angle, it looked as if Alexander and Nancy were locked in a passionate kiss. 

She couldn’t catch their conversation, but the close proximity and the apparent intimacy between them told their own story. 

Just moments prior, Emily had been touched by Alexander’s kindness towards her.

opportunity slip by. 

But now, witnessing this scene, Emily realized that all men were cut from the same cloth. 

Whether it was Ethan or Alexander, they were all untrustworthy. She’d been a fool to let her heart soften. 

Despite her resolve, tears welled up in her eyes. 

Standing in the brisk breeze, she let the wind dry her tears. 

In an instant, her heart turned as cold as ice. 

Thankfully, she hadn’t fallen head–over–heels. 

There was still a chance to salvage the situation. 

Emily stopped watching and slowly made her way back to the hospital ward. 

She’d barely settled into bed when Alexander returned. 

Tiptoeing as if walking on eggshells, Alexander entered the ward quietly, trying not to disturb Emily. 

But when he reached the bedside, he saw that her eyes were wide open. 

Puzzled, he asked, “Still awake?”

Emily gave him a quick glance and replied casually, “Yeah.” 

Alexander sensed that something was off with Emily. So he probed, “Do you want me to hold you while you sleep?” 

Instead of answering his question, Emily shot back, “Where were you all that time you were out?” 

She was giving Alexander a chance to come clean. She thought that if he told the truth, she’d be willing to listen to his side of the story. 

But Alexander didn’t mention Nancy. Instead, he explained, “I stepped out to take a work–related call.” 

That was the final nail in the coffin for Emily. She forced a smile and replied, “Okay.” 

Seeing her smile, Alexander asked again, “Can I come up and hold you?” 

He was already about to climb into bed, but Emily didn’t budge. She just stared at him and coolly refused, “No, I’d rather sleep alone.”
