Chapter 12 Robert, You Came Together With Elizabeth
Elizabeth tried hard to struggle. Compared with the sharp pain, she was more worried that there would
be a hickey on her neck, a solid proof of their affair. Yet, Marvin tortured her on purpose as if intending
to gulp her down. Not until Elizabeth’s eyes went crimson with a threat of tears did he let go of her.
Marvin got up to tidy his cors up as if nothing had happened while Elizabeth, totally stripped, couldn’t
be more wretched.
Marvin left in silence with an ironic smile.
...
Waiting downstairs for quite a long time, Ann came up with a pout the moment Marvin appeared. “Are
you busy? Howe you keep me waiting that long?”
Marvin rubbed the tip of her nose dotingly.
"Well, I’m dealing with some business."
Ann was unconvinced. "But Eliza came out of your room just now..."
With a slight frown, Marvin held Ann’s shoulder, his tone casual. "Well, Eliza made some mistakes and
was criticized by me. Perhaps, she was sobbing now."
Ann always thought that this brother and sister were quite close. Marvin pampered Elizabeth so much
even as a father did to his daughter, perhaps, because he was much older than her.
Loving Marvin for many years, she, sometimes couldn’t help but feel jealous of Elizabeth...
"Eliza is more submissive than me. Why did you reprimand her for no reason?"
Marvin, wrapping his arm around her waist, sat down with Ann before feeding her a cherry. He
produced a meaningful smile with his eyes narrowed. "She, well, just pretends to be obedient but, in
fact, is quite stubborn. God knows how I would be messed with if I didn’t discipline her."
Although his tone was casual, Ann, somehow, sensed their unusual closeness. What a nuisance!
Elizabeth soon came downstairs and was asked by Ann to find her a dress for the engagement party.
The joy on her face couldn’t be more obvious. "I didn’t expect the engagement party to be that grand.
It’s a must to choose five or six dresses. How annoying!" Elizabeth chose several for her. Ann nced
at her neck from time to time.
"Eliza, is your neck injured?"
She reached out to touch it but Elizabeth avoided her at once.
"I was bitten by a mosquito and the swelling began bleeding as I scratched it to relieve the itch.
Elizabeth tried hard to keep calm.
Ann stared at the red mark for a long time. Given their friendship, Elizabeth would not lie to her
randomly. Yet, jealousy began surging within her when she remembered Marvin’s attitude toward
Elizabeth.
...
Yesterday Robert’s sudden appearance in thew school to give a lecture was still heatedly discussed
on campus. Elizabeth heard the gossip about him the moment she entered the ssroom. She couldn’t
help but feel nervous. It was wise to avoid him in the future.
Elizabeth went to the school website to check the ss schedule. Robert only gave two lectures a
week, thus not at school today. She sighed in relief.
It was time to visit her mother again. Elizabeth intended to take the subway to the hospital after ss.
As soon as she left the school, a ck Bugatti Veyron suddenly stopped in front of her. Badly
frightened, Elizabeth saw the window slowly rolled down, revealing a man’s face. Her face darkened as
she saw Robert’s eagle-like eyes. She quickened her steps subconsciously.
There came his low voice filled with majesty. "Miss Bet, hop in. I’ll take you to the hospital."
Elizabeth did not stop but walked faster.
The car kept moving forward next to her at a low speed.
Robert said with a meaningful smile, "If you refused, I would follow you to the hospital. Since there are
a lot of students of the Riverside University nearby, it’s a good chance to let them know how arrogant
Miss. Bet is that she actually let a professor follow behind her in a car aboveboard."
Exasperated, Elizabeth jerked the door open and rode shotgun with a frown.
"Mr. Williams, what the hell do you want?” This guy did know her deepest fear. As low-profile as
always, Elizabeth tried hard to avoid making trouble. If others knew that Robert insisted upon driving
her to the hospital and even followed behind her in his car, his fans would surely not let her off the
hook.
Robert forced a smile. "What a girl!"
Elizabeth knitted her eyebrows. What a flirting! She was caught off guard again.
Robert drove her to a personal hospital on the outskirts in silence. Badly confused, Elizabeth finally
asked after getting out of the car, "How did you know the hospital address?"
He even knew that she was heading for the hospital today instead of doing a part-time job at a cafe!
Robert rubbed her hair as if they were already old acquaintances.

"Go ask Aileen then."
...
In the ward, Aileen, weak and pale, had just gone through chemotherapy. Although seriously ill, she
was still charming enough. Not surprised at Robert’s arrival at all, Aileen said gently, "Why did you
Elizabeth was stunned, "Mom, you know him?"
