Chapter 661: Side Story Thirty-Eight: Ink-Dot Plum Fragrance (Thirty-Six)
Charlotte Lane stayed behind to deal with so follow-up matters, while William Lane drove Alia Smith and her sister to the shopping mall to buy clothes for Sofia Smith.
After buying the clothes, they took the two of them back to the hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, Sofia Smith had already woken up and was sitting up in bed.
The caregiver was chatting with her.
She replied intermittently.
Seeing Alia Smith and the others, she said weakly, “You’re back?”
“Yeah.” Alia Smith handed her the docunts, “See if anything is missing?”
Sofia Smith took them and looked at the man behind Alia Smith, holding so things.
William Lane put the things under the bed and looked at her: “Hello, my na is William Lane.”
Sofia Smith moved her pale lips: “Hello.”
After speaking, she still looked at him, her eyes slightly confused, as if asking: Who are you? And who do you have a relationship with here?
“Big sister.” Alia Smith said, “He…”
William Lane looked at Alia Smith, intending to hear how she would introduce himself.
“He…” Alia Smith looked at him, “Sister, he is my brother-in-law, several years older than you.”
William Lane gritted his teeth, staring kindly at Alia Smith.
Eleanor Smith chuckled.
Sofia Smith’s pupils shrank slightly. She was very surprised inside, but couldn’t muster the strength to be surprised. Her face was pale, as if there weren’t any huge emotional fluctuations. After a while, she looked at William Lane and asked, “Did you help Alia change her na?”
William Lane pressed down on Alia Smith’s little head, which was giggling, and told Sofia Smith, “Yes.”
“So it was you.” Sofia Smith’s eyes carried a faint smile.
“Hmm?” William Lane beca a bit interested and asked, “It seems… there are so legends about .”
Sofia Smith glanced at Alia Smith, her lips slightly rising: “Alia told . She said there was a very handso big brother who helped her, and she…”
“Sister!” Alia Smith interrupted in ti.
William Lane tilted his head, his hand wrapping around her neck, holding her mouth shut, and said to Sofia Smith, “Please continue.”
Alia Smith tried to pull his hand down but couldn’t. She glared at her sister.
Sofia Smith simply ignored her gaze: “She said the big brother was very nice, and if there was a guy like him, she would still be willing to get married.”
William Lane’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and the laughter in his eyes spread slowly.
Alia Smith’s hand fell, and she leaned on William Lane as if her soul had been taken away.
William Lane let her go and pinched her face with a smile.
Alia Smith imdiately kept her distance from him and sat beside Sofia Smith.
Sofia Smith looked at her and asked, “Did the Turner family give you any trouble?”
Recalling the Turner’s courtyard, Eleanor Smith couldn’t help but shiver, and the smile disappeared from her lips.
“No,” Alia Smith replied, “Sister, you just need to recover, and don’t think about anything else.”
“What about Adam Turner?” Sofia Smith asked.
“He is at ho.” Alia Smith lowered her eyes and caressed the quilt on her sister.
She didn’t make it too obvious, but Sofia Smith probably guessed Adam Turner’s attitude.
“Sister, let’s talk about everything after you recover,” Alia Smith said after a while.
“Yeah, I know.”
They chatted in the ward for a while before leaving to let Sofia Smith rest.
As soon as they left the ward, Alia Smith pulled William Lane away.
“Help , help , help …” Alia Smith was led by William Lane, whispering “help ” all the way.
William Lane took her all the way to the parking lot and stuffed her into the car. Then he got in himself and embraced Alia Smith tightly in his arms, kissing the back of her head for quite a while.
He only let go after he had swollen her lips from all the kissing.
He gasped for breath, caressing her face, “What’s wrong? Do you think I’m too old?”
“No, I don’t.” Alia Smith sat in his arms, her hand still nervously clutching the collar of his shirt.
William Lane watched her chest rise and fall, gazing at her intently for a mont before saying, “Alia, no one will be exactly like .”
“Huh?” Alia Smith’s eyes were filled with a layer of mist, looking at him in a daze.”
“Just marry .” William Lane looked into her eyes, his gaze deepening. “You don’t have to marry soone who’s like .”
Alia Smith realized and laughed, “That was just a taphor. Besides…I never thought I would see you again.”
“Never thought about it?” William Lane asked.”
Alia Smith shook her head gently, “I tried to find you, but I couldn’t.”
William Lane’s pupils trembled, his heart beating more fervently.
Suddenly, he realized that what he hadn’t cared about years ago was sothing she had been thinking about for a long ti.
What was just a chance encounter for him had taken root in the young girl’s heart.
“I…” William Lane felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, grabbing her hand, “I had been abroad for those years and rarely ca back.”
Alia nodded, “But now we’ve t again, and we’re together.”
“Mm.” William Lane kissed her face.
Alia felt his lips burning hot, and after a while, she moved.
William Lane imdiately held her waist and whispered, “Don’t move.”
Alia’s face flushed even more, her eyes fluttering aimlessly, “I, I’ll help you.”
William Lane raised his eyebrows, smiling at her, “How can you help?”
Alia stared at him, her eyes filled with mist, her blush spreading to her neck, looking as if she was about to cry from embarrassnt, but still gazing at William Lane. After a mont, her small hand clumsily fumbled for his belt.
William Lane held her hand, his breathing becoming more rapid, and his voice growing raspier, “Alia. There’s no need, it’ll get better after a while.”
Alia blinked her beautiful eyes, clear and innocent, yet stubborn, “Are you sure?”
William Lane: “……” He suddenly wavered in his heart.
Seeing he didn’t move, Alia slowly withdrew her hand.
William Lane once again held her hand, his voice rushed, “It’s fake.”
And then he kissed Alia Smith again.
…
When Sofia Smith recovered a bit, Alia and Eleanor Smith both left.
William Lane left soone in Wakefield County to protect Sofia from the Turner family causing trouble.
Hedrick Skyler, Harris Richie, and Enzo Thiago were all arrested, but the Turner family was left untouched.
As for what would happen to the Turner family and what would happen between Sofia and Adam Turner, that was for Sofia to decide.
Back in Imperial Capital, Alia began working on jade carving with Charlotte Lane during her spare ti at school and at the Dance Association.
Charlotte was quite busy, so the two of them usually t in the evening.
Sotis, they would work late into the night.
When that happened, Kevin Clark and William Lane would take them away one by one.
But there were also tis when Kevin and William would not dare to make a move with just a glance from Charlotte.
Alia was always obedient in front of William, and he could easily take her away.
However, Charlotte was much more authoritative; if she didn’t want to go, Kevin and William had no recourse.
So… whenever Charlotte was being stubborn, Kevin and William would play Rock Paper Scissors at the entrance. Whoever lost had to go in and fight…
