Alice Turner was startled by the sudden thought that flashed across her mind and withdrew her gaze from the hospital room door. She imdiately entered the elevator, distancing herself from the room where Benjamin Shaw was.
After leaving the hospital, Alice drove ho. Apart from Aunt Flower, she didn’t see anyone else at ho.
"Where are Lily and Mom?" Not seeing her mom and sister at ho, Alice walked over to ask Aunt Flower, who was preparing dinner in the kitchen.
"The young miss wanted to go back, so Madam went to drop her off," Aunt Flower replied truthfully.
"Aunt Flower! I’m not feeling well, don’t bother making my portion," Alice said, turning quickly to leave the kitchen before Aunt Flower could respond, heading upstairs to her room, where she fell onto her bed.
She stared straight at the ceiling with both eyes, and her mind was filled with scenes from her eting with Autumn York, which she couldn’t shake off.
Ti passed unknown, and suddenly the phone beside her pillow rang.
Alice slowly withdrew her gaze from the ceiling, tilting her head towards the phone at the sound. She stared at it for a mont before reaching out to pick it up.
Clingy pest!
The mont the phone was lifted in front of her, the words "Clingy Pest" instantly ca into view.
Seeing that it was a call from Thomas Fisher, Alice felt her heart suddenly ache. Staring at the phone, her hand hesitated to swipe the answer button.
The call automatically ended after the designated ringing ti, but just after it quieted down, it rang again.
Alice didn’t put the phone down; the mont it rang, she saw it was again Thomas Fisher calling.
"Hello!" she answered the call just as it was about to automatically hang up, by now her gloomy mood had sowhat alleviated.
"What have you been busy with? Took so long to answer my call." Thomas, thinking the person on the other side was occupied, spoke with a bit of complaint, unaware of what was happening.
Alice retorted instantly, "I wasn’t busy with anything, just didn’t want to answer your call."
Her expression was very serious and stern as she said this, not at all like she was joking.
"Don’t want to answer my call? Alice! Aren’t you afraid I’ll be upset hearing you say that?" Thomas, unable to see Alice on the other end and unaware, assud she was joking, as she had tricked him several tis today.
Alice’s next words nearly angered Thomas to the point of fainting, achieving precisely the effect she aid for, "Whether you’re upset or not has nothing to do with ."
Her tone and expression were more severe than before, her mood gloomier than just monts ago.
"You..." Thomas was truly choked by Alice’s words, needing several deep breaths to compose himself. "Alice! If you keep joking like this, I’ll really get angry."
Even now, he still believed she was joking with him, not considering anything else.
Yet Alice showed no intention of stopping, maintaining the sa deanor as before. She intensified the fire, "I’m very busy, no ti to joke around with you. Do you have a reason for calling? If not, I’ll hang up."
Her tone was extrely unfriendly, her attitude reaching the worst point.
"Alice! What’s wrong with you?" At this point, Thomas suddenly felt that sothing was very wrong with Alice on the other side of the line. Earlier, he’d assud she was pretending to be angry to trick him, but now he felt that couldn’t be right, her angry state seed authentic.
