Chapter 150 Aliceâs eyes were cold. She would make the culprits pay. Jack had almost died because of her. If the car hadnât been modified, he might not have survived. âLittle Lemon, letâs discuss this after youâre better. Alice changed the subject. Can you take me to see Jack?â
âIâll check first.â
Luke returned.âLetâs go. Can you manage?â
âIâm fine.â
better. Revenge requires patience.â
They went to Jackâs room. Seeing him in intensive care, her eyes filled with tears. âYou said he was fine!â
âHeâs fine, just a more severe concussion than yours. His family is worried, so heâs in ICU.
Alice watched him for a while. Iâll see him when he wakes up.â She remembered him swerving the car to protect her. Otherwise, she would have been far more seriously injured.
Luke sighed.âLetâs go. Rest. Jack will probably wake up later.â
âOkay.â
As they left the elevator, a beautiful woman emerged- Julia Garcia. She looked surprised to see Luke.âLuke, youâre here too. And this is...?â
Lukeâs face paled. This was bad luck. He coughed.âSheâs... a friend.â
Alice glanced at the woman, a brief exchange of glances. Something felt wrong.
In the elevator, Alice asked, âWho was that?â
âA friend.â Luke was relieved to leave the situation to Jack.
Alice didnât press further, but she found the womanâs voice familiar. She couldnât place it-
Back in her room, she received a message from Chloe:[The club tryouts are today. Why werenât you there?]
She remembered! She replied:[Iâm sick.
sick. In the hospital. Couldnât Couldnât make it.]
Exposing Chloe had been disrupted. If the Garcia family hadnât intervened, Chloe would have been caught. But sheâd have her revenge later.
Alice thought, âWill Max be punished?â
âProbably. The bullying videos.
The bullying videos and photos are online. Did you do that?â âYes. I didnât believe the Garcia family could cover everything up.â
Alice didnât deny it; Luke already knew who she was.
âLittle Lemon, youâre quite resourceful! Youâre good with AI, but youâre also skilled in other areas.
Alice blushed. âYou taught me a lot. I was young, and you were the only ones who helped me.â She hadnât expected Jack to be J.
Luke sighed. Their paths had crossed so long ago.
âBe careful around the Garcia family. Max will be punished.â Jack had made sure of that. Nothing could change it.
âI know.â
Later, Alice checked for updates on Max. The news remained. The Garcia family claimed Maxâs acco âas suppressed, but the videos and photos had been hacked, the photos were fake. Alice hacked into Maxâs phone again, but it was wiped clean. The Garcia family had destroyed the phone. She would wait for Maxâs punishment. If it didnât happen, she would handle it herself.
That night, Alice couldnât sleep. She kept remembering the car accidentâJack swerving to protect her. He could have died.
She got up and went to see Jack. Seeing his pale face, she felt sad. He must have lost a lot of blood. She held his hand; it was cold.
people She whispered, âJack, get better soon. Itâs my fault for involving you. You canât win against these rich people. Iâm sorry!â She placed his hand. On her cheek. Jack, wake up.â âCrying at my bedside in the middle of the night? Youâd think I was a vegetable.â
Alice froze, seeing him awake, a smile in his eyes. She blushed, withdrawing her hand. âYouâre awake! Anything hurt?â
âNo.â
âBut you were unconscious.â
âI was exhausted. I fell asleep.â
Seeing him okay, she relaxed.âIâm relieved youâre awake.â
You have a cut on your forehead?â He saw the bandage. Alice shook her head.âItâs minor. Compared to yours...â
âScars on a girlâs forehead arenât pretty.â
Aliceâs breath hitched. âWhy did you swerve? You didnât have to get hurt so badly.â
They looked at each other, silent. She couldnât sleep, but seeing him awake, she didnât know what to say.
Jackâs eyes were clear. âBecause I didnât want you to get hurt.â He wouldnât let her get hurt again.
Alice looked down, flustered. Iâm relieved youâre awake. Rest.â
Lying in bed, she thought of Jack, the accident, and another car accident, long agoâfragments of a memory. She was trapped in a car, and Jack had saved her.
Waking up, she had tears in her eyes. She hadnât dreamt of that accident in a long time. Maybe it was triggered by this one.
Sheâd seen Jack in the dreamâa merging of memories.
Her phone rang. âHello?â
âAlice, which hospital are you in? Jack wants to see you.â
âIâm fine. Donât bother.â
âYou said this isnât over. Do you have more evidence?â Luke also wanted to see it. Alice smiled coldly. âYes.â
