Chapter 1112 - 579: Extra: Shameless 2
When Aunt PA rushed into the ward, she saw Alice Robinson collapsing on the floor, tears streaming all over her face."Miss..."
Aunt PA hurriedly helped Alice up.
Alice sat down on the sofa, still lost in a daze.
Aunt PA said anxiously, "Miss, why did General Laurence leave just like that? Did you quarrel with him?"
Alice slowly came back to herself and said, "He... left?"
Aunt PA nodded. "When General Laurence left, he told me to take good care of you."
Alice’s tears flowed even more.
"Miss... what on earth happened? Don’t cry..."
Sobbing, Alice finally realized that owing someone a debt could hurt this much.
Aunt PA was so anxious she was about to cry. "Miss... don’t scare me..."
In that second, Alice took a deep breath, resolutely wiped away the tear tracks at the corners of her eyes, and calmly shook her head. "I’m fine."
Only then did Aunt PA breathe a sigh of relief. "Miss, you and General Laurence..."
"We’ve already broken up."
Aunt PA was incredulous, her face turning pale. "Miss..."
Alice wiped away all the remaining tears on her face and at the corners of her eyes and asked, "Where did my brother go?"
Aunt PA shook her head. "I don’t know... Mr. Robinson’s whereabouts have always been known only to Assistant Antony."
"Alright then, let’s pack up and go home."
"Miss, General Laurence treats you so well, why would you..." From an elder’s standpoint, Aunt PA couldn’t understand Alice’s decision.
Alice didn’t answer Aunt PA. Instead, she picked up Aunt PA’s phone and dialed Chester Robinson’s number.
But Chester’s phone couldn’t be reached.
Aunt PA snatched the phone from Alice’s hand. "Miss!!! I’m begging you, please wake up. Mr. Robinson isn’t worth you doing this for him..."
Alice smiled faintly. "I don’t care whether he’s worth it or not."
"But I care... I don’t want you to get hurt and feel miserable because of Mr. Robinson anymore."
"I won’t... I won’t get hurt and feel miserable for him again, because I won’t be greedy for anything in return anymore."
"Miss, why put yourself through this?"
"Aunt PA..." Alice gently held Aunt PA’s soft shoulders, a bleak smile in her eyes as she spoke with a hint of a smile, "Please allow me to be selfish one more time, willful one more time, and let me spend these remaining days by my brother’s side..."
"Miss, I don’t understand what you’re saying... what remaining days? What’s wrong with Mr. Robinson?"
Alice sniffed and said, "My brother was left with aftereffects from the shot he took for me. The doctor said he has to have surgery as soon as possible, but the outcome of the surgery might not be very good..."
"What?"
The Robinson residence.
"Mommy, where are we going when we finish packing our clothes?"
Rachel tilted her head up, looking curiously at Alice standing in front of the wardrobe packing clothes.
Alice put the clothes on the bed, then picked Rachel up and answered gently, "We’re going to see your uncle."
"Oh... but if we’re going to see Uncle, why are we bringing so many clothes?"
"Because we’re moving to live with Uncle."
"Is it in the Flowery Kingdom?"
Alice shook her head. "Mommy doesn’t know either. Mommy’s taking you to find Uncle. Wherever Uncle lives, that’s where we’ll live."
"Oh... but doesn’t Mommy not like being with Uncle?"
Alice sat Rachel down on the bed, crouched so they were at eye level, and said solemnly, "Rachel... Mommy never disliked your uncle. It’s just that in the past, Mommy wasn’t very sensible."
"Grown‑ups can be not sensible too?"
Alice was amused by her daughter’s childish words. She rubbed her daughter’s little head and said, "Sometimes grown‑ups are even less sensible than kids..."
After packing the luggage, Alice had Aunt PA take Rachel downstairs to play for a while. Alone in the room, she dialed Chester’s number again.
Sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unreachable. Please try again later...
Putting down the phone, Alice sat dazed on the edge of the bed.
She couldn’t reach him anymore...
Keith Antony’s calls were going unanswered; it was definitely on his orders, and his own phone being unreachable clearly meant he was deliberately avoiding her.
If he thought she would just give up because of that, then he was wrong.
Picking up her phone again, Alice sent Keith a text message—
If he’s unwilling to come see me, I’ll make our relationship public. He can give it a try; I’ll definitely do as I say.
Keith, who had just received the text message, hurried to the study.
This was the presidential suite Geoffrey had long‑term rented at the hotel. Whenever he wasn’t staying at the Robinson residence, he would come here to lodge and work.
At this moment, Geoffrey was in a video conference with his subordinates in New York.
