Chapter 486 Am I’m a Fool?

Alex’s eyes landed on Paige, and she noticed him as she turned around. Their gazes met, and Paige

soon

saw Daniella seated opposite Alex. She appeared visibly disgusted.

Alex abruptly stood up, walked away from Daniella, and approached Paige.

Curious, Daniella turned to look, her expression turning scornful when she saw Alex rushing after

Paige.

Alex caught up to Paige outside the cafe, grabbed her arm, and asked, “What brought you here,

Paige? Are

you heading to the hospital? Do you feel unwell?”

Paige forcefully shook off Alex’s hand and shouted, “Stay away from me! Just looking at you makes me

nauseous!”

Alex frowned and asked, “What have I done wrong? It’s been so long since the incident. Haven’t you

forgiven me yet?”

“Forgive you?” Paige sneered, pointing at Daniella. “You’re sitting with Daniella now and still expecting

my

forgiveness?”

Alex grew anxious. “My meeting with Daniella isn’t what you think, but…”

Alex stopped speaking abruptly, recalling his promise to Evan not to share Axel’s illness with others,

especially Paige, who was Caroline’s best friend.

Paige scoffed at Alex’s silence and said, “Can’t explain anymore?

Alex felt physically and mentally drained. “In short, it’s not what it seems. I’m here to find out something

on Evan’s behalf,”

“Find out something from Daniella? Do you think I’ll fall for your nonsense? Paige laughed. “What could

my boss not find out that he needs you to ask Daniella? Do you think I’m a fool?”

Alex was left speechless once again. “I can’t explain it to you now, but you’ll understand in the future,”

he

weakly replied.

“You’ll come and explain when you’ve concocted a perfect lie? Paige asked mockingly, looking at him

coldly. “Alex, of all people, resorting to desperate measures!”

Paige turned around, got into her car, and drove away.

Alex watched her car disappear from sight, feeling dejected.

Meanwhile, Daniella had put on her sunglasses but was filled with contempt. She knew it wasn’t the

time

for gossip, so she returned to her previous topic. “Mr. Price, please consider my offer carefully. I carried

a

child too…”

However, Alex was too distracted by thoughts of Paige to pay attention to Daniella’s remark. Finally, he

said softly, “I understand. I talk to Evan.”

He got up and left.

Daniella raised an eyebrow, thinking. We’re making progress.”

She decided not to leave through the front door to avoid Evan’s surveillance. She couldn’t risk

revealing

the location of the bone marrow or her connection with Casey.

Paige called Caroline from her car, crying loudly. “I want to kill Alex, Carol!”

Caroline was startled by Paige’s emotional state. “What happened? Take a deep breath and tell me

slowly.

Paige explained the earlier incident to Caroline, adding. “I didn’t expect him to actually be hanging out

with Daniella, I now understand how disgusted you felt in the past!”
