Chapter 188: A Different Nature
Just as I was getting distracted and anxious, a crisp doorbell rang, causing my heart to plummet into my throat.
I instinctively looked at the time on my cell phone, it was already past nine o’clock in the evening, and it must have been an outsider who rang the doorbell!NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
I hurriedly got up and hurried toward the stairs; anyone who was here at this hour was definitely up to something.
By the time I sprinted down the stairs, Leila had already gone to answer the door, and my eyes were glued to the door of my room, curious as to who the visitor could be.
Soon, Leila brought in a slender figure, and I exclaimed in surprise, “Alice!”
Alice is standing there with a white face, far away, the emotion in his eyes obscure, the corner of his mouth slightly pursed, seems to have a lot of things to say to me, but somewhat want to say.
Only a few days had passed, yet she was even thinner, her skin glowing a cold, lusterless white.
I walked straight over to her and held out my hand to her, “What brings you here?”
As soon as the words left my mouth, I knew there was something really wrong with my question.
She instinctively took a half-step backward, shrinking her hand from my touch.
My hand froze in front of her and she glanced up at me, the corner of her mouth twitching, “I’m dirty!”
With that one whisper, I was struck by lightning and looked at her in shock, and I certainly understood the meaning of her words.
Alice hadn’t been able to look at me without opening her eyes, when she saw my shocked expression, she smiled to herself, “Ma’am, I’m here for a reason, and when I say so I’m leaving!”
Her tone suddenly turned a little cold, probably guessing my inner dynamics with her intelligence.
I moved forward again and took her hand in mine, tugging at her without a second thought, “Come here with me!”
She struggled slightly, and I stubbornly didn’t let go, but clutched her hand tighter and pulled her over to the couch, pressing her to sit beside me.
Looking at her with great concern, the corners of her mouth quivered a bit, but still asked out, “Have you really …”
“Yes, none of us have escaped, we’re all infected!” She answered with certainty, with a hint of gloating.
My grip on her hand tightened involuntarily, an unspeakable emotion coming over me.
To be honest, I’m kind of kicking myself.
But she smiled, smiled ruefully, as if she could see through my mood at this time, “nothing, you do not have to blame yourself, our life should be like this, no Robert I also can not! I’m just a piece of shit, I’ve long been dirty and can’t be seen, it’s nothing to do with you!”
“I’m sorry!” I was still powerless to say those three words.
“In this world, there is only one person who has wronged me, but she refuses to say it!” Alice said stubbornly, “So even if it costs me my whole life, I won’t let her go!”
“Was it worth it?” I asked quietly, looking at Alice’s small, still childish face with pity.
“There’s nothing worthwhile about it, I haven’t wanted to live long anyway since I was fifteen, live one day at a time and earn one day at a time!” Alice smiled frankly.
I didn’t know what to say for a while, I really didn’t know how to face this Alice, whether it was hatred, or pity, or regret!
She was still in her flower season, and it wasn’t supposed to end like this.
Before I could snap out of my train of thought, Alice opened her mouth directly to change the subject and said to me, “Ma’am, did Robert take Amelia’s baby?”
“What did you say?”
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing and my head went ‘buzz’, “You mean Ryan was taken by Robert?”
This was so unexpected. Though I had originally thought so, thinking that Robert wouldn’t let all the hints point to this kid, deflecting away from the kid so as to divert the attention of those on the internet and divert the traffic.
However, at this point Alice comes in and states where the child is going, definitely not what I understand it to mean.
Sure enough, Alice nodded with certainty, “Yes, he made Sherry take it!”
“Sherry?”
I looked at Alice in a daze, I took her word for it of course, but I was a bit confused by my reaction, why would Robert do this?
And it’s of a different nature that he’s letting Sherry take the shot.
“Where is Ryan now? Is there any danger? He’s still young, so …”
Alice looked at me and smiled a sunny smile, “Mrs. Brown, you are too kind!”
