Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
That was enough to be of great comfort to Alice! At least Gong Jie was fine. She liked Gong Jie. It probably wasn’t love, but it was enough for her to give up everything she had. However, she had never confessed her admiration for Gong Jie to anyone.
It wasn’t that she thought he was out of her league, but she knew perfectly well that the man had no interest in her. If this sort of affection were not mutual, then coming clean with it would only beco a burden. So Alice had never ntioned it to Gong Jie, in order not to burden him with it.
More than that, she had no expectations for Gong Jie to reciprocate just because she adored him and made sacrifices. That would not be love. That would be blackmail. That wasn’t her goal or her style of doing things. Therefore, the matter was suppressed, and her fondness for Gong Jie was restrained.
Alice smiled and replied, “I didn’t expect that my unintentional act would indirectly save Gong Jie. It’s a coincidence!”
Her attempt at levity was t with a grim expression.
Despite the fact that Alice didn’t look the least bit regretful, Yun Shishi ventured cautiously, “Actually, you’re doing all this for Xiao Jie, aren’t you?”
Alice looked startled, but said nothing. She avoided Yun Shishi’s gaze and said casually, “No, I just did what I had to do. Because of , a vaccine was created and the disease ca under control. As for Gong Jie, that can only be considered a coincidence.”
Since she said this, Yun Shishi did not make further remarks to expose her. But she could see that Alice was holding back her admiration for her brother. She was almost certain that Alice had ended up barren because of the man. But she could also understand Alice’s unspoken feelings.
Because… If love were destined to fail, it would beco a burden if it had been made known.
Alice did not wish to impose any burden on Gong Jie. So she looked nonchalant, carefully guarding the last of her dignity. She didn’t want her affections to beco forced and pitiful.
“Actually, being infertile is not a big deal.” Alice pursed her lips and said seriously, “If there’s a chance in the future to et soone I like and who likes , and if he doesn’t mind, we can adopt a child and treat her like our own. At the very least, that will fulfill my dream of being a mother. Even if she’s not my biological child, I’ll treat her as my own.”
She already had plans. Except that would co later.
Alice got onto her feet and said, “I’ll go in and check on Natalia’s condition!”
In this way, she avoided the topic.
It was clear that she was not very willing to discuss the matter. Yun Shishi and the actor acquiesced and rose with her.
The three of them entered the room. By then, Youyou was sitting on the front of the bed and Little Yichen was leaning back on the sofa. He was obviously tired and had fallen asleep. However, he was sleeping lightly and had been resting with his eyes closed when Alice’s entry woke him.
The boy opened his eyes and saw Alice and his mother. He stood up. “Mommy… eh? Alice, you’re here too.”
“How is Natalia now?”
