Chester said, "Liking a woman and marrying a woman are two different things... Finding the right one, marriage is a decision every mature man needs to make."
Alice Robinson was completely unprepared for Chester to ntion the word "marry" to her. She incredulously asked, "You’re planning to get married?"
Chester didn’t deny it.
Alice’s frail and thin body visibly trembled, "But you just t her tonight."
"One glance is enough to see a person."
"But..." Her voice suddenly got caught in her throat, and Alice could no longer speak.
Chester didn’t notice Alice’s expression and had already turned to enter the room, "Since you didn’t say anything, it seems this bracelet is suitable as a gift."
She watched his back for a long ti without speaking.
It was unclear how long it had been before she numbly began to step away.
In the villa garden, she ran into Keith Antony.
Seeing her pale expression, Keith Antony couldn’t help but express his concern, "Miss Alice, are you okay?"
Alice shook her head, looked up at the sky, and murmured, "I just want to go ho."
"I’ll take you ho."
Alice shook her head and declined, "The driver will take ."
She waved goodbye to Keith Antony with a smile, then slowly walked out of his sight.
As the sky began to drizzle, there was rain on her face... and tears too.
These uncontrollable tears were not because of Keith Antony, but to mourn... to mourn the most beautiful first love she once had.
Alice fell ill, with a persistent fever that made Aunt PA very anxious.
"Miss, maybe we should go to the hospital. Staying at ho will only make the illness worse..."
Alice wrapped herself tightly in the blanket, holding a cup of warm water, her voice weak and trembling, "I don’t want to go to the hospital..."
Aunt PA sat by the bedside, reaching out to feel Alice’s forehead, "Goodness, how did you return from a party ill like this, still acting like a child refusing to go to the hospital..."
"I’m afraid of needles."
"Of course, every ti you got sick in the past, Mr. Robinson would give you the shots. Now you’ll have to go to the hospital; no doctor is as gentle as Mr. Robinson."
"Don’t ntion him... Aunt PA, I’m fine." Though her body was burning hot beyond imagination, she felt very cold.
"No way, this afternoon I’ll help you with a cold compress again. If the fever doesn’t go down, I’ll have no choice but to take you to the hospital," Aunt PA said.
Alice was too weak to speak, leaning uncomfortably against the bed.
"Mommy, are you feeling very unwell?" Rachel clumsily climbed onto the bed, her small chubby hand gently touching Alice’s forehead.
Alice nodded slightly, eyes closed.
"Mommy, getting a shot doesn’t hurt at all; don’t be afraid..."
"Rachel, do shots not hurt at all?" Alice slightly opened her eyes, looking at her understanding daughter.
Rachel nodded, "The last ti I was sick, the doctor gave a shot, and I didn’t think it hurt at all. The doctor even said I was very brave."
"But Mommy is not as brave as Rachel..."
Rachel hugged Alice, "Mommy, I have to be braver than you so that I can take care of you when I grow up."
Tears welled up in Alice’s eyes, not expecting that Rachel, so young, could be so understanding.
Unable to resist, she bowed her head to kiss Rachel, choking up, "Mommy will be as brave as Rachel."
Inspired by her daughter’s courage, Alice decided to go to the hospital.
However, just as Aunt PA was packing up her things to prepare for the hospital, Alice’s phone suddenly rang.
Rachel picked up the phone, seeing Alice weakly reclining on the couch, Rachel pressed the answer button, "Hello..."
The person on the other end of the phone clearly didn’t expect Rachel to answer, hesitating for a mont, "Rachel?"
"Yes, it’s ."
"Where’s your mommy?"
"Are you... uncle?"
The person on the other end paused again, then answered, "Yes."
Rachel held the phone and walked over to Alice, "Mommy, it’s uncle calling."
Alice struggled to open her tired eyes, "Uncle?"
Rachel nodded, "He says he’s uncle."
Alice took the phone, pressed the answer button, "Hello..."
Sure enough, it was his voice, "Co downstairs now."
"For what?"
"To take you to see Claud Laurence."
Alice’s voice was weak, "Can I not go?"
"Give a reason."
"I..."
Her words hadn’t even been spoken before he coldly interrupted, "This is about business for the Robinson family now. If you still think you’re the old princess who can ignore everything, you’re welco to be lazy."
Alice closed her eyes, "Alright... Give a mont."
"Aunt PA, I’m not going to the hospital anymore..."
Forcing herself to stand up straight, Alice said to Aunt PA, who was packing things in the room.
Aunt PA rushed over, asking, "Miss, what’s wrong?"
Alice said, "I have sothing to go out for."
"But you’re still sick..."
"I can manage..." Alice leaned against the wall, walking into the room.
Aunt PA hurriedly followed, "What could be so important?"
"I’ll tell you when I get back."
"But your fever is very high..."
In the elevator, Alice quietly looked at herself.
Pale blue dress, delicate makeup...
At this mont, she didn’t look any different at all.
As the elevator doors opened, Keith Antony was already waiting outside.
"Miss Alice, you don’t look very well."
Keith Antony always cared for her, could always tell sothing was a bit off just by looking at her face.
"I’m fine, just didn’t sleep well last night."
"Oh... the boss is already waiting in the car for you."
"Mm."
In front of the apartnt building, Keith Antony opened the car door for Alice.
Alice got in and leaned back in the seat.
Chester handed a docunt in front of her, "Look at this contract and tell later if there are any flaws."
"Why should I look at this?" Alice’s voice was slightly weak, regrettably, he didn’t notice.
