Chapter 225: Chapter 231

Chapter 231 Seeing Noah collapse, Alice was momentarily speechless. She looked at Jack ‘Get a doctor, Don’t let him die here*

Jack glanced at the PR team; Alice immediately sent her colleagues to get a doctor. Noah was taken for examination, leaving Alice and Jack alone.

Alice lowered her gaze. Jack spoke softly. Does your arm still hurt?

“It’s better now. It only hurts if I touch the wound,”

Seeing her injuries, Jack’s expression darkened. Rest is your priority now. Don’t worry about anything else.*

“I know. With TG PR on my side, I don’t have to worry,” Alice said, stealing a glance at him.“Are you still angry?”

“Don’t do that again,” Jack said, tapping her forehead.”Next time, talk to me. Don’t face things alone.”

Alice touched her forehead; something felt different between them.

Alice returned.“Ms. Alice, Mr. Windham’s condition is serious. The doctor wants family members to be present.”

Thinking of Noah’s gaunt appearance, Alice felt a knot in her stomach. Jack took her hand; his touch was warm and reassuring ‘Don’t feel guilty about the Windham family.”

I know. Let’s go him. Once he wakes up, we’ll have him transferred.*

Jack didn’t let go of her hand as they walked. She looked at him; Jack said calmly, “What is it?” Their intertwined fingers felt natural.

Alice looked away, a slight smile playing on her lips.

At the doctor’s office, the doctor was surprised to see Jack, especially since he was holding a girl’s hand. Their relationship was clearly significant.

Alice asked, “How is Noah?”

The doctor showed them Noah’s scans. “His stomach is in serious condition. I recommend a biopsy; we suspect stomach cancer.”

“Stomach cancer? Are you sure? His stomach has always been problematic, but he’s been seeing doctors and taking medication.” Alice felt a sense of disbelief. In her previous life, Noah hadn’t developed stomach cancer.

She didn’t fully process what the doctor said. Jack led her out of the examination room.

“I remember his stomach problems started early, but this rapid deterioration means he neglected it,” Jack said, recalling Noah’s collapse in A–City, when Alice had taken him to the hospital.

Alice took a deep breath. “Have you heard of the butterfly effect?”

“Yes, but what does it have to do with Noah’s illness?”

Alice looked down.“Could one person’s fate change affect others?”

“Come with me,” Jack said, leading her to the garden.

“What are we looking at?” Alice asked, looking at the ants.

Chapter 231 Menu Jack knelt, using a leaf to block the ants‘ path.“Look at these ants. Their fate has changed.” The ants‘ procession faltered. Jack continued, “Life changes unexpectedly. You decide which route to take, what to do, which way to go home. No one knows what changes your decisions will cause in the future.”

Watching the ants circumvent the leaf, Alice said softly, “I understand. Thank you.” Noah’s stomach problems had been apparent, but according to Sarah, he should have had surgery much. earlier.

Jack was about to speak when his phone rang. He answered and returned, saying, “I have some things to handle at the office. I’ll be back for dinner. What do you want?” “Pear Orchard’s special dishes. Do they do takeout?”

“If you want the stars, I’ll get them for you.”

Alice laughed. He could be so playful.

Jack pinched her cheek.“That’s better. Don’t make that sour face; it makes you look older.”

Her face flushed.“Go ahead. I’ll be fine.”

He looked at her intently before leaving. He instructed the PR team, “Pear Orchard will be delivering all her meals while she’s hospitalized.”

Left alone, Alice watched the ants and the approaching storm.

Noah woke up. Alice entered.“Your condition worsened. The doctor recommends a biopsy and surgery.”

“I know. I had surgery scheduled, but then this happened. Brother is out of town; I can’t leave “But you can’t handle this,” Alice said firmly.“Have the surgery.”

“Alice, I’ll make Four apologize.”

Alice ignored him. She had no intention of letting Blake off easily.

Alice entered.“Ms. Alice, the Windham family is here. They were stopped at the parking lot.”

“Good. Noah, let’s transfer you.”

Alice had Noah wheeled to the parking lot. In the elevator, Noah said, “Alice, Four’s face is ruined. His career is over.”

Alice’s expression was impassive.“Some things are best left unsaid. Don’t bother.” She knew Noah’s nature; he always tried to smooth things over. But someone always had to compromise.

“Alice, I...”

“I won’t compromise. Don’t try to persuade me; it’s pointless,” Alice cut him off. At the parking lot, Ethan, furious at being stopped, confronted Alice.“Are you guilty? That’s why you’re hiding?”

Noah intervened.“Brother, must you be so hurtful?”

“I’m telling the truth. Alice, do you think hiding in the hospital will solve everything? Four hired TG PR. You can’t win. Just clarify that the live stream was a rehearsal, not assault.”

Alice smirked.“I have a PR team too.”

“Can your team compare to TG? You’re new to Cloud City; you don’t know how things work,”

Alice stepped forward.“Mr. Windham, I’m the manager of TG PR Ethan’s face froze.“Alice, you poached Four’s team? Noah stopped Ethan.“Brother, what are you saying?”

“Don’t stop me!”

Are you that ruthless?”

Noah was pushed, falling from his wheelchair, Alice rushed to help but was shoved aside by Ethan.“Don’t pretend to be kind,”

Alice scoffed.“He Was in # wheelchair, and you didn’t ask him anything.”

“Being in a wheelchair isn’t fatal.”

“He has stomach cancer,” Alice revealed, Ethan finally panicked.

This chapter keeps the momentum, focusing on the consequences of Alice’s actions and introducing a significant plot twist concerning Noah’s health, while maintaining the Americanized feel and engaging narrative style.
