Bring Your A Game

Chapter 1068

Bring Your A Game Mr Chapter 1068-The moment Paul woke up, he started blabbering again. “We just got out of a dangerous situation together, Narissa. You should feel something for me now. I’d still do it again if I were given the choice. If you promise to date me, I’ll train myself once I get out of the hospital. I promise I can protect you. Um, Narissa? Hello? Earth to Narissa? Can you say something?”

Narissa grunted.

“Just a grunt?” Paul was miffed. “I’m a patient. Can’t you at least be nicer to me?”

“No.” Narissa was worried about Elise. She had no time to chat with Paul. “You should talk less and rest more, Mr. Patient.”

“Might as well tell me to kill myself.” Paul was a little hurt.

“I’ll pick your sister up,” Narissa excused herself.

“Hey, don’t leave me alone!”

Narissa ignored Paul’s howls and left the room, but then she bumped into Alicia who had come to see her brother. It was their first meeting after the resort, and both of them looked fidgety. Things were awkward for a moment.

He broke the silence. “Well, don’t just stand there. Come in.”

Alicia snapped out of it and went around Narissa to see her brother. “So, are you alright? Does it hurt?”

“I’m alright.” Paul patted his wound like it was some symbol of pride. “This is a badge of honor. Proof that I defended the woman I love.”

“I’ll leave him in your hands, then. I have something else to do. Goodbye.” Unwilling to stay any longer, Narissa left.

Alicia hesitated for a moment, then she went after Narissa. “A minute, please,” she called out.

Narissa stopped, but she didn’t look back. Coolly, she said, “I owe Paul one. Call me if you need anything, but don’t stop me now. I have someone to save.”

“It’s not that.” I can’t let Paul hear this. She approached Narissa and mustered up her courage to say, “You might not believe me, but I never wanted to ruin your relationship with Jamie. You’re the one he loves. Always. He thought I was you, so…”

“None of my business,” interrupted Narissa. She refused to hear any details. “We’ve broken up.”

Alicia wanted to ask why, but she realized why before she could even speak, and she frowned guiltily. “He loves you. He wouldn’t have even given me a moment of his time if not for the drug. Everyone makes mistakes. Please, give him a chance. Give both of you a chance.”

“You think too lowly of yourself. You’re not as unimportant to him as you think, and I don’t need this chance. If he can’t stay loyal to me, then that’s not the love I want. There’s no need to be together if that’s the case.” There was nothing but cold fury in Narissa’s eyes, yet her heart hurt. This was a regret of hers. Life was filled with it, and she ran into one of the worst ones life had to offer.

“Everyone wants perfect love, but not everyone gets it. What if you never meet a guy like him ever again?” Alicia was conflicted. She thought she was a sinner. She was the one who destroyed a loving couple.

“Then I’ll just live my whole life without a partner.” Narissa smiled bitterly, then resolve filled her eyes. “I will not settle.” She said that as if she was reminding herself, and then she strode off.

Alicia stood around for a while, then she went back to the ward. Standing in front of the ward, she took a deep breath to calm herself, then she entered the ward with a smile. “What do you want for dinner? I’m cooking.”

“I’m fine with whatever.” Paul craned his neck, but Narissa was nowhere to be found. “Where’s Narissa? Is she gone?”

“Yeah.” Alicia nodded. “She had something to do, didn’t you hear?”

Paul looked down. “I did. I just wanted to stay with her for a bit longer. Ten minutes would’ve been nice. You could’ve helped me out.”

Alicia froze. “Wait. She’s the one you love? You know she’s engaged to Jamie, don’t you?”

“Yeah, but so what? I snooped around. They broke up a few days ago. She’s single. I have the right to woo her.”

“You can’t be serious.”

“You bet I am.”

Alright. This complicates things. She kept quiet about the relationship problem.

He thought she had nothing more to say, so he lay back down and rested his head on one arm and took a photo with his other hand. Then he posted it to the wall with a caption that read, ‘Love wins.’ He tagged Narissa, but instead of getting Narissa’s attention, he got Suella’s instead. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

An hour later, Suella arrived at the ward bearing flowers and fruits. The Heidelberg siblings frowned, and they asked in unison, “Why are you here?”

Suella grinned. “I saw your post and I’m here to visit you, Paul. Are you alright?”

Paul had seen Suella a few times before, but for some reason, he just didn’t like her. Still, she was Alicia’s friend, so he said, “Yes. Sit.”

“Sure. You guys go ahead. I’ll just sit around.” Suella placed the gifts down and tried to take a seat.

However, Alicia pulled her up and gave her back the presents. “Thanks for your concern, but if nothing else, we should never see each other again.”

Paul was trying to kill some time with a mobile game, but now he sensed drama.

“Are you still mad because of what I said? I’m sorry. You know how straightforward I can be. I didn’t mean it. I just hated myself for being so useless.”

“That has nothing to do with this. I was going to cut ties with you after the meteor shower anyway, but then that episode happened. Just go home. And don’t come to my place ever again.” She pushed Suella out of the ward.

“Please, Alicia, no…”

Suella wanted to resist, but Alicia was too strong. She did train a lot, after all. In the end, Suella turned her attention to him. “You have to help me, Paul. Alicia doesn’t have many friends, to begin with. Do you really want her to push everyone away and live without any friends?”

Paul shrugged. “Honestly, I think you’re the reason she doesn’t have any friends. Know The Grim? From Harry Potter? Yeah, you’re like that, except The Grim means death, while you mean misfortune.”

“But The Grim is fictional. You can’t be serious, Paul—”

Alicia cut off that sentence by pushing Suella out and locking the door.
