Chapter 1110 - 578: Extra Story: Shameless 1
"Then take this opportunity to explain it to him clearly.""Ridiculous!!"
He was really angry and pulled her off him.
She still refused to let go of the hands tightly wrapped around his neck, mumbling, "I’m not being ridiculous, everything I said comes from my heart."
His face turned cold and stern, "I’ll pretend I didn’t hear anything you said since last night up until today... Don’t cause trouble for me anymore!"
"Hmph..." Alice coyly retorted, completely ignoring his seriousness, tiptoeing closer with her cherry-red lips.
However, just as her lips almost touched his, he pulled her away, his face cold as if winter frost, his thin lips coldly uttered, "Are you planning to ruin yourself?"
She had been lost in her own fantasies until now when his iron-like arms firmly grabbed her wrists to stop her from getting closer. Only then did her dreams shatter, the happiness on her face slowly faded away, leaving only desolation and sadness as she looked at him painfully, "You’ve already ruined me, haven’t you?"
His face stiffened slightly, the resolute lines of his face twitched mildly.
She nestled into his arms, wrapping him in her embrace, "I don’t care what you consider me... Right now, I just want to stay by your side."
"Alice!!"
She lifted her head from his embrace, smiling brightly, "Regardless of whether your surgery succeeds or if it’ll allow us to grow old together, I just want this moment."
He gritted his teeth, "You’re crazy!!"
She gazed deeply at his handsome face, smiling foolishly, "I’ve been crazy for a long time."
"You..."
Knock, knock.
A knock on the door interrupted their conversation.
Keith Antony’s voice was intentionally made louder to ensure those inside the hospital room could hear.
"General Laurence, you’re here, Miss Alice is inside..."
"Claud Laurence is here."
"I know."
"Let go!" Chester Robinson’s face was ashen, his patience was nearing its breaking point.
"I won’t let go... Even if Claud Laurence comes in, I won’t let go!!" Saying this, she tightened her embrace around his waist, her head resting against his strong, sturdy chest.
Keith Antony pushed open the hospital room door, and at that moment, Claud Laurence entered the room.
The scene that presented itself to everyone was Alice snuggled in Chester’s arms, her hands tightly wrapped around Chester.
Claud Laurence’s gaze darkened.
Alice felt the eyes converging around her, yet she remained buried in Chester’s arms.
Keith Antony and Aunt PA both broke into a sweat over the scene...
"Alright, you’re an adult now, why are you still acting like a child... The doctor says you still need to stay hospitalized for a day; you can’t be discharged yet."
Chester’s gentle voice conveyed to everyone.
Alice raised her eyes, looking steadily at him.
Chester took the cue to pull Alice away, smiling as he said to Claud Laurence, "I’m sorry, General Laurence... My sister has always been clingy with me. I didn’t agree to discharge her today, and now she’s acting spoiled... Sigh, I don’t think I can handle my sister, better leave it to you. You should persuade her to stay in the hospital for another day."
"Brother..."
Chester gave Alice a slight smile, gently stroking her cheek, "Stop fooling around, be good... General Laurence is here, don’t act like a child, or you’ll be a laughingstock for him."
Alice froze dumbstruck, falling silent.
Chester released Alice, turned around, and walked towards Claud Laurence, apologetically saying, "General Laurence, my sister still has the temperament of a spoiled girl... In the future, I hope you can tolerate her more!"
Claud Laurence politely returned Chester’s smile, "I will."
"Then I won’t disturb you and my sister anymore. I have some matters to attend to, I’ll leave first."
"Hmm."
Without looking back, Chester walked straight out of the hospital room.
Alice stood dazed in place for a long time, until Claud Laurence wrapped her in his warm embrace, "What’s wrong? How did you suddenly faint? Does anything else feel uncomfortable now?"
Alice shook her head in a daze.
Aunt PA feared Alice’s reaction would cause Claud Laurence to become sensitive, quickly stepping forward with a cheerful answer, "General Laurence, the young lady is fine, the doctor said she’s just overworked, and her body couldn’t handle the pancreatic cancer... I’ve been advising her to go to General Laurence when she faced issues, but she’s stubborn and insists on handling everything herself, see, now she’s worn herself into illness!"
Claud Laurence sat Alice on the sofa, tenderly kissing her forehead, "Silly girl... Even if you want to achieve results, don’t be so eager for quick success and instant benefits, take it slow."
