Chapter 1233 Alice wanted to get rid of James.
As the two followed him and stepped into the ward, Jonny quickly pressed the automatic door close button.
The heavy white door closed with a bang at an extremely fast speed, cutting off all the S members who hadnât had time to enterâ¦
Even Herb, who was right behind them, was locked out.
Looking at the closed blinds inside, Herb frowned.
It was understandable that Jonny didnât let Jamesâ bodyguard in, but why not even him?
After closing the door, Jonny walked up to the two with his hands in his pockets and his gloomy gaze fell on Amelia.
Alice wanted to get rid of Jam⦠2/4 âCousin, come with me.â
When he smiled, he seemed harmless, but the expression in his eyes revealed his ill intentions.
His malicious intent made Amelia nervous, but the man beside her squeezed her hand to signal her not to worry.
Although the S members disguised as bodyguards didnât come in with them, as long as James was there, Amelia felt safe.
After her heart gradually calmed down, she held Jamesâ hand tightly and followed Jonny through the white doors to the innermost wardâ¦
As Jonny pushed the door open, she saw the woman lying on the hospital bed at a glance â Alice.
She was already over fifty years old, and her charm and beauty had disappeared from her face, which had been settled by the torment of illness.
Alice wanted to get rid of Jamâ¦
She looked haggard and emaciated, a picture of a person who was seriously ill, but the deep-set eyes revealed a glimmer of hope to live.
âSumasaâ¦â
Alice, who was breathing with the help of an oxygen tank, widened her eyes as she saw Amelia enter the room.
âAre you⦠here to pick me up?â she asked.
Amelia tilted her head slightly, wondering why Alice was so shocked and afraid that Sumasa had come to pick her up. Did she have something to hide?
âMother,â Jonny stepped forward and held Aliceâs hand. He patiently explained in a soft voice, âSheâs not Sumasa, sheâs Sumasaâs second daughter, Amelia.â
Upon hearing her sonâs voice, Aliceâs eyes flickered for a moment. She quickly concealed her shock and replaced it with the confusion of a weak person.
âOh, I thought it was Sumasa coming to get meâ¦â she said.
After speaking, Alice reached out her hand and Jonny immediately helped her up.
With Jonnyâs support, Alice sat up straight and lifted her tired eyelids to examine the two people who were still standing at the door, indifferent.
She first looked at Amelia, then shifted her gaze to James. When she saw the chill emanating from him, she couldnât help but frown.
âMr. Evans, could you please step out for a moment? I want to talk to my niece,â she said.
Alice seemed too eager to get rid of James without even saying a touching word to her long-lost relative.
