"Alexander… there's no point talking about that right now." I said quietly,
Not long ago, he had still been with Lilian.
Now she was lying injured in a hospital because of him.
And yet he was standing here asking whether I cared for him.
What exactly was he thinking?
"How is it meaningless?" Alexander took a step closer.
"You should worry more about treating your wounds and getting some rest," I replied calmly. "That way, you can go see Lilian tomorrow morning."
The moment her name left my lips, Alexander's expression changed.
As if realisation just hit him.
His brows tightened immediately.
"I was meeting business associates earlier," he explained quickly. "They left before me. I got attacked afterward. I don't even know where Lilian came from. She suddenly rushed over and got hurt trying to protect me…"
"So it was just a coincidence?" I asked quietly.
"Yes."
He looked directly into my eyes and nodded without hesitation.
