Chapter 297 - Aleksis & Alaric (1/2)

Half an hour later they were back in the lobby.

”Thank you for accompanying me to take my dog ​​for a walk,” Aleksis said to him. She felt uneasy if she didn't say thank you at all, because she knew Alaric deliberately accompanied her to protect her. ”I needed to calm down by getting some air.”

”Hmm...” Alaric smiled and nodded. ”Are you going to rest now? Then, I'll go home.”

Aleksis would certainly choose not to rest, if that meant that Alaric would not be going home.

”Er... wait a minute...” Aleksis ran to the elevator with Little Siegfried Prince. ”I want to give you something...”

A few seconds later she returned and handed the dog to Alaric. ”Please hold my dog ​​for a second. I'll be back in five minutes...”

Aleksis was about to take Uncle Rory's wound medicine, but she was afraid that Alaric would leave before she returned, so she deliberately handed her dog to Alaric so that he could not go anywhere while she went upstairs to take the medicine.

Before Alaric could protest, Aleksis had disappeared behind the elevator door. Finally, having no choice, Alaric carried Little Prince Siegfried and shook his head.

Aleksis arrived six minutes later, breathing hard. She handed a bottle to Alaric.

”This... please accept this... this is the miracle wound medicine from Uncle Rory... I want you to have it...”

Alaric was surprised to see the gift from Aleksis, who was smiling at him with a pair of such loving eyes. He knew how valuable the bottle was, because he had used it before.

His heart trembled because the girl in front of him was still so kind to him, even though he had made her cry by rejecting her love...

He had never met anyone so sincere and selfless who treated him with such affection.

Alaric was stunned, lost for words.

”Wh... why are you giving me this medicine? I already rejected you...” he said quietly, after he found his voice.

Aleksis tried to smile, ”Because I admire your kindness, Prince Siegfried... You must have a reason to reject my feelings, and that doesn't make you a bad person. If I want to be honest with myself, you actually acted as a gentleman by rejecting me, because you don't want to mess with my feelings or give me false hope. I appreciate that... I hope that, even if I can't be your girlfriend, we can still be friends...”

Aleksis was thinking about this while they were walking outside.

Alaric was a good man. Even if he didn't reciprocate Aleksis' love, he was still a good man and Aleksis would feel happy if she could be his friend...

Maybe after a while, her romantic feeling will disappear completely and they could become good friends.
