Terrance and Alexia

Chapter 243

Chapter 243 You Have Changed

Alexa did not expect Kieran to get mad because of this.

After he finished speaking, he picked up the medicine cabinet and avoided her.

“Don’t take it personally. I overthought,” Kieran said gloomily.

Lowering her head and seeing the neat badges, Alexa put on a light smile.

Kieran refused to look at her until he was hugged from behind.

“Mr. Powell?”

Alexa’s voice was soft. Then, she changed the way she addressed Kieran.

“Kieran.”

Kieran cleared his throat.

Kieran got tense. His voice turned hoarse.

“What’s wrong?”

“Don’t be mad at me, please.”

Feeling her curves, Kieran was turned on.

“I’m not mad at you.”

“Then smile at me,” Alexa teased.

“Stop messing around.”

Kieran let go of her and finally cracked a smile.

Alexa sat down, covered her arm, and groaned.

“Are you alright? Does it hurt?” Kieran went over nervously to see whether she was fine.

“Dr. Powell, your smile is the best cure.”

Breathing a sigh of relief, Kieran gently pinched her cheek.

“Don’t play such a trick on me, silly girl.”

“Are you asking me as my boyfriend?”

“It’s a doctor’s advice,” Kieran said, grinning. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

They went out when Alexa’s injury was treated.

Seeing Alexa straightening her clothes, Terrence pulled her over unhappily.

“What were you doing inside? Why did it take so long?”

“Bandaging my wound. Let go,” Alexa’s answer was curt, stained.

Alexa cheered up a bit when she saw Brenton, the only one in the ward apart from Athena.

“It’s been a while. How is she? Is it serious?” Alexa asked softly.

Brenton glanced at her with his flat voice.

“Athena is pregnant. But it is too dangerous for her because of her congenital heart disease.”

“Well, get some treatment. She will get better.”

Alexa had good intentions. Unexpectedly, Brenton got up and looked crossed.

“Don’t tell me that you don’t know.”

Alexa was puzzled when she heard the question.

“Know what?”

“Everyone in New York knows that Athena is pregnant. Why did you argue with her in public?”

Brenton was trying to restrain himself.

Alexa could not wrap her head around it.

“There must be some misunderstanding. I did not argue with her,” Alexa smiled politely.

“You changed so much. Why are you…”

Brenton bottled up the rest of the sentence in disappointment.

“Athena almost fainted from crying. She said that you bullied her. Everyone saw that.”

“Brenton, are you crazy? I thought you knew better,” Clara shouted with indignation.

The smile on Alexa’s face disappeared. She gave Brenton the cold shoulder.

“I didn’t make things difficult for her. She is an adult who can make well informed decisions and be

responsible for herself.”

“Don’t you know how she egged on others to insult Alexa?” Clara said boldly.

“I only know…”

“What? You know the truth?” Alexa sneered.

Diana and Daniel pushed open the door and got in.

Diana’s face fell when she saw Alexa. She pounced on Alexa without any hesitation.

Diana screamed, “You are such a bitch! You are a pathetic woman. No one wants you. How dare you

flirt with Brenton!”

“What are you doing!”

It was the right timing. Terrence’s shout sounded at the doorstep. He and Kieran entered the room and

stood in front of Alexa and Clara to protect them. The atmosphere got tense.

Alexa was smoothing her hair that was tousled from her physical encounters with Diana, self-

possessed.

“Daniel, how dare you!”

Terrence was outraged. Emotions got the better of him.

“Mr. Ramsey, my daughter was still unconscious because of her. All we want is an explanation.”

“Explanation? Come off it. We’re not here to give you an explanation. I’m asking you to apologize.”

Terrence’s voice was icy.

“Alexa is a Powell. No one can hurt her.”

Kieran’s face darkened as he glared at Brenton.

“There is surveillance footage and the witnesses. If you are still unconvinced, we will see you in court.”

Kieran was clear-headed.

“If that was the case, why would Alexa prick my daughter with needles? You’re not a good doctor. You

don’t know better,” Diana retorted.

Alexa listened without giving any explanation.

“Is she a witch?” Daniel narrowed his eyes. Brenton wanted to say something, but he bottled it up as he

avoided Alexa’s gaze.

All the evidence showed that Alexa was the culprit. Brenton just didn’t know whether he should believe

Alexa or not.

“I was left with no choice. If I had not done that, she would have died,” Alexa said casually.

“Bullshit! Do you know anything about medicine? You don’t!” Daniel snapped.

“Believe it or not. It is up to you.” Alexa shrugged nonchalantly.

Kieran remained silent because her treatment was not conventional and he had not seen it before.

However, Terrence trusted Alexa.

Terrence glanced at them impatiently. “Don’t you understand? My wife saved her.”

The fact that Terrence spoke up for her surprised Alexa, who was a bit touched.

“Mr. Ramsey…”

Terrence interrupted Daniel, “Alright. You either apologize or I will take you to court. You have two

hours to think about it.”

With that, he wrapped his arm around Alexa’s shoulder and walked out with her.

Kieran’s gaze flickered, but he did not follow them.

Alexa was very awkward.

“Why do you trust me so much? No one believes me.” Alexa pretended not to be unconcerned.

“Why not?”

Terrence stopped, pushed her against the wall, and lifted her chin.

“Alexa, remember. You mean a lot to me.”
