Chapter 482: To Care Is to Cause Chaos
Chapter 482: To Care Is to Cause Chaos
She could do nothing, but Emmett was very cooperative. Only then did she realize that Emmett was such a stubborn person. Once he said that he didn't want to eat, those people had no choice but to send him to the hospital with his stomach growling.
As Kayden drove, he would give occasional glances at Elaine.
He wondered why there was such a big difference between Elaine and her sister.
Ellie seemed to be one of those girls who knew how to dress up. Although she wasn't very beautiful, Ellie would make herself up so brightly that you could see her eye-catching highlight at the first sight. Moreover, Ellie was cunning and clever. Her mind was full of tricks. Even when she chuckled, she was always plotting something.
Instead, Elaine was so submissive. She was a little stupid and looked like Ellie's younger sister who hadn't finished kindergarten studies instead of an older one.
Kayden couldn't help but ask, "Do you and Ellie share the same parents?"
"What?" Elaine was shocked and answered without thinking, "Of course we have the same parents. What do you mean by that?"
"Nothing. I just think that your difference is very great."
"Well ... Me and Ellie ... Ever since we were young ... Wait ... Kayden, how do you know my sister? How?"
Elaine blinked her pure big eyes and turned to stare at Kayden.
So, one must never underestimate that idiot.
Even an Idiot could sometimes find your loopholes.
Kayden was astonished and coughed. His face turned red, and he didn't dare to look at Elaine squarely. He prevaricated, "Well, I don't know her. You just mentioned her before ... don't you remember?"

"I don't remember. When did I ever tell you about Ellie?" Elaine frowned.
Elaine felt that she had a big mouth. She had forgotten when she had said anything about her younger sister.
"You just mentioned her long ago. Probably."
"Well, you could remember what happened so long ago. Kayden, your memory is amazing! Which university did you attend? It must be a famous one, right?"
Elaine tended to admire a person easily.
She could always discover others' merits in any aspect, regardless of whether they had anything to do with her.
Kayden made another round of coughs, "What do you mean? Does your family despise a person without a degree?"
Elaine was even more puzzled, "What? What does my family have to do with your degree?"
Kayden was embarrassed again.
Did he become stupid? Why did Elaine always seize upon his mistakes in their talk?Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Perhaps Kayden had forgotten a proverb, "To care is to cause chaos."
But he couldn't help but care so much about Ellie.
Elaine would never waste time on insignificant issues. So even though Kayden was in such a tight corner, she did not pay attention to him. Instead, she happily said, "When it comes to my sister, she is indeed a villain. Since she was young, she had played many tricks ... She always lied to me and cheated me out of my pocket money."
Kayden thought to himself, 'You bet. That's what your sister is. It would be weird if you weren't tricked by her.'
"She is much prettier than me. There have been many boys pursuing her since childhood. She has an amazing speed at changing boyfriends. Many boys are fighting over her. So funny."
Elaine laughed happily and turned to look at Kayden. What happened? Why did Kayden suddenly turn gloomy?
That was so strange. A man's face changed even faster than a child's.
But Elaine didn't know that her words made Kayden go bananas.
***
Did Ellie have many boyfriends? Who could make a list for him? He was prepared to find out all of them and beat them up one by one.
Whoever kissed Ellie would be beaten up much heavier!
Elaine saw that Kayden was unhappy and stopped talking nonsense. They arrived at Elaine's dormitory in silence.
"Kayden, please wait here. I'll go in to pack up some clothes."
"OK," Kayden replied leisurely. He lit a cigar and smoked in depression.
That expression was a clear sign that he was very annoyed and couldn't be provoked.
Elaine returned to the dormitory and saw that Mark was still there.
Seeing that Elaine had returned, Mark was stunned for a moment before revealing a considerate smile. He stood up and said softly, "You are back. Have you eaten yet? There's food left in the pot for you."
Elaine did not know why she felt guilty towards Mark at this moment.
Yes, terribly guilty!
These days, she was in the deepest depression.
Mark stayed with her silently and blocked all the noise for her. He was like an umbrella that brought her warmth. He did not say anything but gave her care.
She knew that Mark liked her and was waiting for her to accept his embrace.
She also thought that she would eventually begin a new relationship after breaking up with Emmett. She thought that she could walk out of the shadow of Emmett and embrace Mark's world.
But ... today, it seemed ... this was a total fantasy.
She still had feelings for Emmett!
Since she had fallen for Emmett for a long time, how could she have a clean breakup with him?
When she saw Emmett's pain and torment today, she was heartbroken.
At that time, she had decided that she would stay with Emmett forever, regardless of whether Emmett hated or loved her. Even if he would fool her all her life, she would be at ease because she truly loved him anyway.
She was so weak but she was looking forward to staying with Emmett.
She coveted him.
"Mark ... I'm sorry..."
Elaine lowered her head and went in.

"Well, we don't need the 'sorry' word. Please make yourself at home. I'll go and heat food up for you." Just as Mark was about to go into the kitchen, he was stopped by Elaine.
"Mark! Please don't ... I'll go to the hospital and eat there. I'm not hungry now."
Mark frowned, "Hospital? What's wrong?"
Elaine bit her lips and said, "Emmett is hospitalized. I came back to fetch something and will go to the hospital to keep him company..."
"Elaine, don't you..."
"Yes, at that time, we did break up. But today ... I went to the hospital and saw Emmett, I got soft- hearted. Mark, thanks for your company these days. I understand your feelings, but I ... I can't ... I'm so sorry, Mark. I feel that something can't be achieved just by working hard ... Seeing Emmett in such pain and staying in the hospital, I don't want to care about anything. As for whether he loves me or not, I don't want to care anymore. I'm at a loss. I probably ... love him."
Mark slightly opened his lips and didn't move for a long time. It was as if his entire body would shatter into countless pieces like a plaster cast as soon as he moved.
His face was pale and his lips bloodless. He was like a sculpture, standing there still.
Elaine was extremely sad to see this. She walked over and grabbed Mark's hand. She whispered in tears, "Sorry, Mark. Let's just be good friends, okay?"
Mark breathed slightly. After a long time, he forced a bitter smile. He replied feebly, "Alright, Elaine, whatever you say."
Mark's face was filled with pain. He clenched his fists and looked for his coat. "Then, Elaine, please excuse me. The professor just called me over to help ... Goodbye, Elaine. If you need me, just give me a call."
Mark's tone was sad and cold like the autumn rain.
Elaine held back her tears and nodded, "OK, Mark, I'm sorry."
It seemed that she only got the "sorry" word for Mark.
Mark rushed out of the dormitory and wandered on the campus in a trance like a zombie.
Did it mean that he and Elaine would lose each other forever this time? There wouldn't be another chance ...
Mark lowered his head and a hot teardrop fell on his hand.

He looked at his teardrop senselessly. Then he closed his eyes, clenched his fists, and told himself that no matter how reluctant he was, he had to bury this love in his mind.
Elaine walked towards the bedroom gloomily and heard rustling sounds from Hazel's bedroom next door.
The door was left unlatched, and Elaine came closer and peeped inside.
Well, Bradley was lying on Hazel's bed, and Hazel was on the bed to apply for medicine on Bradley's body, probably on his head.
It seemed that Hazel and Bradley, a policeman, would get somewhere in this romance.
Forget it. She even got her own mess to deal with. How could she spare energy to mind others' business?
Elaine quietly returned to her bedroom and packed up some clothes, as well as some small things like socks. She put them in a bag and went downstairs.
Elaine went out and caught Kayden smoking. She found several cigarette butts beneath Kayden's feet.
? Was Kayden so addicted to smoking?
"Kayden..."
