âOh, Dirk,â Aliceâs voice was soft and gentle. âIf Iâm going to die, itâs Godâs plan.â
She lived an open and transparent life.
Song Yaoyaoâs gaze lingered on the necklace around her neck and she asked casually, âArenât you afraid of death?â
âOf course I am.â Alice smiled shyly. She tilted her head and spread her hands. âThereâs no one in the world who isnât afraid of death, but this is fate. No matter how unwilling I am, when my time is up, death will still come and take me away as intended.â
Her tone always sounded like she was putting on a play, and the bodyguards behind her were obviously used to it.
Moreover, because of her words, their eyes were filled with sadness.
What a loyal servantâ¦
Song Yaoyao thought.
âThen, did you come to China to seek medical treatment?â Song Yaoyao threw out this question at the right time.
âYouâre so smart.â Alice squinted her eyes. âFather heard that thereâs a miracle doctor in China. Perhaps, this doctor can cure me of my illness.â
âOh?â
Song Yaoyao suggested to sit in a quiet place, and Alice gladly accepted the invitation.
âI also know of that doctor. I heard that doctor doesnât treat people casually. Maybe he doesnât want to save you, or maybe he canât cure you.â
Song Yaoyao forced a smile. Their eyes met, and the corners of her lips curled up gently.
Alice was slightly startled, and then she really smiled.
Her eyelashes were thick and curly, and they were chestnut brown, the same color as her hair. When she smiled, it was sweet. If her skin color wasnât too pale and too sickly, she would look like a sweet babe.
âIâm really sorry that you saw through me.â The doll-like girl picked up the hem of her skirt and bowed deeply to Song Yaoyao.
âWhat did you say to Miss Alice?!â
Dirk walked over with a cold expression, thinking that this unfriendly Chinese girl had bullied his master.
âDirk, stand down!â
Alice glanced at him softly. It was clear that she didnât pose any threat, but she made Dirk stay where he was and he no longer moved forward.
âIâm sorry for being rude. Dirk, apologize to Miss Song.â
Dirk didnât resist at all. Even though one second ago, he was angry and wanted to kill Song Yaoyao, the next second, he could take Aliceâs words as an imperial edict and obediently bend down to apologize to her.
Interesting.
Song Yaoyao licked her lips and sat down on a bench in the small garden. Her legs were crossed, and her posture was elegant.
Her small face, which had lost its baby fat was charming and attractive, giving people a sense of aggression and danger.
âItâs okay. We Chinese have always been generous. Iâll punish you by making you run ten laps in this garden to apologize.â
Dirk was slightly startled, and he looked at Alice at the first moment.
Alice smiled, thinking that Song Yaoyao was really interesting.
She liked this friend.
âPerhaps, you want to compete?â
The girlâs hands rested lazily on her legs, her fingers seemingly pointing casually.
Dirk followed her movements and turned his head. He did not know when, but there was a person standing in the darkness. Their figure was not as strong as his, but the dangerous aura emanating from their body made Dirk feel threatened at the first moment.
âMiss Alice, I can not leave youâ¦â
He realized that the girl beside Alice was not simple. In fact, she was very dangerous.
Dirk did not even notice when that person had arrived, or perhaps, he had always been there.
If it was the latterâ¦
Cold sweat gradually soaked through his clothes. If it was the latter⦠And if the other party really wanted their lives, it would be absolutely soundless and swift. It would even take their lives before they could even realize it.
