Chapter 151 Alice smirked. âYes. Youâll find out after Iâm discharged.â
âWhy the secrecy? Just tell us!â
âTell you? I was almost killed, and you still donât believe me!â
Luke was taken aback.âBut you should trust Noah.â
âTo me, youâre all the same.
Luke changed the subject.âAlice, Noah isnât doing well. His stomach problems worsened. The doctor says his bad mood made it worse. Go see him.â
Alice said calmly, âI dreamt about the car accident where our parents died.â
Luke was startled.âDid you remember anything?â
âFragments. And Mom and Dad calling my name. After they died, you all blamed me. If I hadnât insisted on getting cake for my birthday, the accident wouldnât have happened.â Sheâd believed that in her past life and had tried to please her brothers.
Luke sighed. Those were angry words from childhood. It wasnât your fault. It was an accident.â
âYes, I think so now. Mom and Dad kept calling for me to run in my dream.â Alice wiped her tears. âYou all remember them when you see me, and so do I. Letâs keep our distance. Being strangers is better. Use a messaging app if you need anything.â
She hung up. Sheâd always known her brothers resented her, even if they never said it.
Luke felt a pang of guilt. Heâd subconsciously blamed Alice for their parentsâ deathsâfor insisting on getting cake. Theyâd lost their parents that day.
Noahâs face was was grim, his eyes filled with anticipation. Luke remained silent-
Noah sighed, wiping his eyes. âIf I gave my life to Little Sis, would she forgive me?â He wished he could go back.
His tone turned serious.âLuke, investigate Chloe. Protect Alice.â Since Ethan didnât believe him, he would find proof. Chloe couldnât be allowed to remain.
Alice, remembering Noahâs shocked expression at the café, smiled coldly. Chloe would probably sWindham him to Ethan, who wouldnât believe him. It was ironic that she hadnât been there to witness it. It was poetic justice.
But it wasnât over. Ethan was protecting Chloe and wanted to control the AI Danielet. She wouldnât let him.
The doctor cleared Alice for discharge. She went to see Jack, who was sitting up, eating.
âHow are you?â
âIâll be out of ICU soon.â He knew the accident had terrified his family, especially his mother. Luckily, Luke was there to prevent trouble for Alice.
Jack put down his chopsticks.âLuke called; the laptop and USB drive are gone. The key evidence is lost.â
âI know. I have other ways.â She knew the Windhams and Chloe well. She used to feel suffocated in the Windham family and had desperately wanted to escape. But now, she wouldnât hide.
Chapter 151 Jack looked at her; she sometimes seemed older than her years.
Minu They talked for a while. Alice stood up. âIâll go handle my discharge and return to school. Iâll see you later.â
âDonât bother. Iâll be discharged soon. Donât worry.â The car had been modified; otherwise, he might have died. He wouldnât let this go. He had other ways to deal with the Garcia family, event without the evidence. He didnât want to involve Alice.
Leaving ICU, she encountered the beautiful woman from the elevator. They both froze. Julia Garcia spoke first.âWe meet again.
Are you here to see Jack?â
âYes. Are you?â Alice wondered about their relationship.
Julia Garcia smiled. âYes. Jackâs mother sent me with food. Letâs have dinner when heâs discharged.â
Alice smiled awkwardly. She watched Julia Garcia leave, her mood fluctuating. What was Jackâs relationship with this woman?
Should she go check?
She didnât have the courage, returning to her room. She felt confused about Jack.
A nurse approached.âMs. Alice, your discharge papers are ready.â
âThank you.â
Before leaving, she texted Jack:[Going now. Get well.]
Jack smiled.[Iâll send your scar cream for Jack, did you hear me?â Julia Garcia watched him; his expression was soft as he looked at his for your forehead. It works really well.]
phone. Who was texting him?
His expression turned cold.âIâll talk to my mother. You donât need to be the messenger.â âJack, why are you so cold to me?
People say you were with a girl when the accident happened...â. âYou can go now. Take your things.â He showed no emotion.
Julia Garcia was unhappy. Jack, I donât mind your other relationships. Iâll take care of your mother and be a good wife.â
âJulia Garcia, you and my mother spread rumors about our engagement. But you know I never agreed. We have no relationship.â
Julia Garciaâs face darkened. âBut weâre a good match! You changed after going to New York. Did you meet someone there?â
âThatâs my business. Leave!â
Julia Garcia left angrily. She would find out who that girl wasâwas it the girl from the elevator?
