Novel1Chapter 619 Elysia glared at Tarquin, her fury palpable. It looked like she was seriously pissed off! Tarquin, with his brows knitted tightly, met her gaze. The anger inside him hadn't cooled off yet, and her fiery demeanor only added to his frustration! Was she about to lay into him on Keith's behalf?! Did she think he was in the wrong? "Are you hurt?" she suddenly asked.
Tarquin blinked, taken aback. The first thing she did was ask about his well-being.
Feeling slightly mollified but still stubborn, he scowled and said bitterly, "My whole heart might as well be trampled on by Keith, and you're still worried about whether I'm dead or alive?!" Elysia rolled her eyes, unable to hold back her irritation, "You beat him up so bad, if something serious happens to him, who's gonna take the fall? If I don't patch him up and he ends up worse, how would you handle that?" "Deserves him right if he dies!" "You think you'd feel any better?" "Absolutely!" "Stubborn!" she snapped. "Even if you did, you wouldn't get away with it!" Tarquin only caught the word 'stubborn', and his face darkened as his mind raced with thoughts. He glared at Elysia, swallowed hard, and looked away like a jealous child, "Just tell me, who are you actually concerned about, him or me?" Without hesitation, Elysia said, "Of course, I'm worried about both!" Tarquin, dissatisfied, pressed, "But who are you more worried about?! Why even care about him? Do you like him or something?" "Like him, my foot! He's Elliot, Evan, and Emmett's coach, and now thanks to you, he's injured. Why wouldn't I be concerned?!" "He's a jerk, no reason for you to care about him!" "Aren't you just making a scene now?" "Me, making a scene? You think it's my fault we fought?!" "I..." Elysia was taken aback. Was his head injured too? His thinking was seriously off-kilter! Talking to him was like talking to a wall; he wasn't getting the gist of what she was saying at all! Elysia dropped the subject, circling back to her original question, "Are you actually hurt? Where does it hurt?" Tarquin, still irritable, retorted, "Yes!" "Where? Letcheck!" "My heart hurts!" Elysia: "..." She was beyond exasperated! She was about to have a heart attack from the frustration! She stopped asking and instead grabbed his wrist to check his pulse. He tried to shake her off, but she scolded him, "Stay still! Keep this up, and I swear I'll stop caring!" Tarquin, fuming, shot back, "So you'd rather care about Keith, is that it?" Elysia rolled her eyes, not bothering to respond, and finished checking his pulse. Aside from being overly emotional, he was physically fine. That gave her speace of mind.
It seems in this scuffle, Keith was the only one who got the short end of the stick. A clear case of one doing the hitting, and the other getting hit! Elysia calmed herself, "Now, tell me, why did you fight with Keith?" "He had it coming!"
Elysia frowned at him, "If you don't explain, I'm going to assthe worst about you."
Hearing that made Tarquin's blood pressure spike again! His brain was was finitely not functioning properly at the moment, clouded by jealousy, always missing the point in Elysia's words. All he could think about was how sour he felt! "Me, the problem? You think it's all my fault?" Elysia said, "If you hit someone without a good reason, then yes, it's your fault!" "And you think I'd hit him for no reason?!" "That's why I'm asking! I'm not blaming you; I just want to know the reason." Tarquin pressed his lips thin, "Why do you even need a reason?" "How am I supposed to understand the situation without knowing the reason?" mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
