Chapter 35: Everything Will Be Okay
Alice Roberts looks down, avoiding John Blake's gaze, "I came back for my mother," she mumbles, "He has nothing to do with me."
John Blake is relieved to hear that. Everything is fine as long as Alice Roberts could forget Edward Smith. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
However, when he takes a relief, he does not notice the dimness in Alice Roberts's eyes and her pressed lips when she mentions Edward Smith.
The next day, Alice Roberts takes the bus to the hospital after sending her two lovely children to the kindergarten. There is still no patient, but she already knew the reason, so she does not have any burden.
She's happy to be so leisure as long as Edward Smith doesn't come here.
First, she goes to Susie Sullivan's ward, peels an apple, and sits with her for a while. They have not seen each other for five years, so Alice talks to her the fun things about Albert Robert and Rebecca Roberts during this leisure period.
"Mom, You don't know how smart Albert and Rebecca are. Once I was working overtime at the hospital and forgot they didn't have dinner. Then I recalled it after having all the things done, so I ran back very quickly. But when I got home, I found that they had even prepared my dinner too…” Alice Roberts can't help laughing as she says these things. Her eyes are full of happiness.
You won't know that every kid is an angel to his mother if you don't have kids. Everything they do is warm and unforgettable.
So, when Alice Roberts knew Susie Sullivan was ill. Her first thought was to come back to make up for her five-year disappearance.
Susie Sullivan has a smile on her face all the time. Although she looks thin because of the disease, her heart is full of warmth with Alice Roberts accompanying her.
However, Susie Sullivan always has a question about the kids. Looking at Alice Roberts, she could not help asking, "Are they really John's children?"
"Mom, the most important thing is they're my children." Alice Roberts does not answer directly, but what she said makes Susie understand that her daughter has grown up and has her own ideas.
It is a shame for her that she could not help her before because of her poor health. So her daughter has suffered so many grievances and could only escape to a foreign country.
Thinking of this, Susie's eyes get moist and she blames herself, "It's all mom's fault."
"Mom, I didn't take good care of you. It's my fault."
Alice Roberts hugs Susie Sullivan, her nose turning sour and eyes brimming; she blinks her eyes desperately to hold back the tears. She can't cry or her mother would worry.
After chatting for a while, Alice Roberts finds Susie Sullivan is tired. She tells her to have a good rest and she should go back to work.
"Forgot you're working. Go ahead."
"Mom, Bye." Alice Roberts does not want to say that Edward Smith has hired her as his private doctor for one year.
Standing in front of the door and looking through the window for a moment, Alice Roberts quietly wipes the tears in her eye corner, takes a deep breath, smiles, and turns to the consulting room.
Everything will be ok!
……
When she gets to the office, she opens the door and stops.
She looks at the fashionable and elegant woman, who is wearing a limited lacy skirt of LV, in front of her. She wears an amethyst bracelet from Tiffany, which adds glamour and elegance to her with her white hand.
She has a slim figure. And you can smell the charming scent from the distance. She has a style of celebrity.
Joanna Hale, daughter of the mayor.
She is beautiful and well-educated, and is from a powerful family. She is a celebrity from the upper class who attracts everyone, and, who is going to marry Edward Smith, the President of SA Group.
The media exaggerates how compatible the two persons are. They are beautiful and well-educated, simply the perfect match in the upper class.
Well, Alice Roberts just wants to sneer, and she knows best what Joanna Hale is like. She is just a hypocritical bitch!
As for Edward Smith, the bachelor from a rich family, she can still remember how he brushed the toilet.
Huh, a couple of bitches.
Alice Roberts knows there is no good in going against Joanna Hale though she is cursing her in her mind. But when she is about to ask, Joanna Hale says coldly, "You're back!"
"What's the matter?" Alice Roberts goes straight to get herself a glass of water and takes a sip, ignoring Joanna Hale completely.
This dismissive attitude aggravates Joanna Hale, who warps her elegant face, "Alice Roberts, have you forgotten what I told you?"
"I'm sorry, Miss Hale, you have said so many things to me that I really don't know which to begin with." Alice Roberts says with a half-smile.
"Don't play dumb with me. You know exactly why you're in Edward's office. Don't assume he still has feelings for you."
Joanna Hale is furious when she recalled the scene she met Alice Roberts yesterday. She has known Edward Smith for so many years and he has never asked her to see him in the office.
Sometimes when she broke in, he would send her away with cold words.
But Alice Roberts apparently stayed there for a long time, and Edward Smith gave her that look. Joanna Hale feels she has to stop Edward Smith from seeing Alice Roberts'
"Miss Hale, you get me wrong. I never thought he still had feelings for me. If there's anything wrong between you two, can you please work it out yourselves?" Alice Roberts doesn't want to keep wrestling with Joanna Hale on this issue.
But the more she does this, the more Joanna Hale suspects that Alice Roberts is up to something, "You swear to me that you will never see Edward again!"
Alice Roberts feels ridiculous. Is Joanna Hale crazy?
"You dare not to swear, dare you? Well, I heard your mother's in this hospital too..."
"Miss Hale!" Alice Roberts could not remain calm when Joanna Hale mentions Susie Sullivan. Looking at the commanding Joanna Hale, she bites her lip and bends her head, "If I did anything misleading you, I apologize."
"You think this is enough?" Joanna Hale sneers with disdain.
Alice Roberts bites her lips and says with difficulty, "I'm sorry."
"I can’t hear you."
'I'm sorry!"
Joanna Hale laughs and stares at Alice Roberts with a smirk. "Alice Roberts, you deserve these. You tricked Edward Smith into marrying you, and then you made him leave his family. Do you know how angry he was when you cheated him with another man?"
Alice Roberts clenches her hands and tells herself to hold back her anger as she listens to Joanna Hale's words about her nightmare.
