Chapter 54

When Alita stepped out of the hospital, she saw several cars parked at the entrance, clearly belonging to the Lewis family.

Jaydon walked out behind her, having been discharged as well. Holding an elegant crystal cane in hand, he passed by Alita as if she were invisible and got into the most luxurious car.

Cecilia turned her head and smiled triumphantly at Alita.

Alita took a deep breath, intending to take a taxi. Though she had barricaded her heart, their treatment still hurt her.

The doors of the two cars parked behind opened. Two men got out.

“Alita,” they called out.

These two male voices not only caught Alita’s attention but also made Jaydon, who was sitting in the car, glance over and roll down the window.

Kim and Samuel walked toward her.

“Alita, Annabel has something on, and she can’t come. She told me to pick you up. I’ll take your luggage.” Kim smiled politely while reaching for Alita’s bag.

Samuel smiled faintly. “You are busy with the bank and the preparations for tomorrow’s engagement ceremony, Kim. I should give Alita a ride. I’m at home these days with nothing to do anyway.”

Kim’s smile broadened. “It’s not a problem. It won’t take much time.”

Samuel chuckled and gave in generously. “Alright then.

Jaydon’s handsome face turned stormy suddenly. He shouted overbearingly at Alita, “Alita, are you a fool? Why are you standing there? Get in the car!”

The sudden

roar made everyone tremble.

Alita shivered, then steadied her nerves. She turned with a joyless smile and replied, I’m sorry. can’t accommodate me. I’ll take Samuel’s car.

Your car i

is too crowded. 1

Without looking at Jaydon’s reaction, Alita snatched the bag from Kim’s hands, walked to Samuel’s car, and got in.

Jaydon’s green eyes grew stormy. “Alita, how dare you defy me,’ he thought.

Kim glanced at Jaydon, then looked at Alita. A faint mockery flashed across his face before Kim returned to his usual

composure.

With a graceful bow to Jaydon and Kim, Samuel got into the car.

One by one, the cars slowly left the hospital.

Alita relaxed and leaned against the car window. She put her hand out the window, enjoying the breeze with half-closed ryes. There was both joy and sadness on her face.

Samuel turned to look at her, his eyes filled with tenderness. “Are you comfortable?”

“Yeah, I am. Samuel, when can I laugh or cry whenever I want?” Alita asked.

“You can do it now. Laugh out loud if you want, and if you want to cry, I have plenty of tissues in the car, I won’t laugh at you,” Samuel replied, his eyes shining brightly.

Alita began laughing. Her laughter rang clear and sounded pleasant to the cars. She rarely laughed like that. Samuel did not expect Alita to look surprisingly beautiful when she did.

After laughing as much as she wanted, Alita sighed. “Samuel, this world is too cruel. Hope, expectation, happiness… They feel like knives stabbing into me. I often feel like I can’t bear it anymore. I want to escape, to leave forever.” Alita leaned against the car window, tears streaming down her face.

A white handkerchief appeared in front of Alita. Through her tears, the handkerchief resembled a white

Samuel shook the handkerchief. “Take it and wipe your tears. Don’t just stare at it.”

Alita’s heart pounded wildly. She stared at his hands in fear. Those were the same actions and words. She swallowed and shrank away.
