Chapter 1100 - 571: Extra Story: You Got Hurt, So You Left Li Chengyao Behind and Rushed Here? (2)
Seeing Chester’s departing figure, Alice Robinson shouted angrily, "You owe me a phone." It was a phone that had accompanied her for many years, and even if the buttons weren’t easy to use, she’d never considered replacing it.Chester’s rigid back stopped, "You know, I don’t need to compensate."
Chester’s words left Alice momentarily frozen in the corridor.
In that instant, memories played back in their minds...
Her eighteenth birthday was when he gave her this phone.
At the time, it was a globally limited edition phone, with only one in France, and it had already been purchased...
She had only regretfully mentioned it to him once, never expecting that on her birthday, he would present that very phone to her.
She still remembered how happy she was that day, jumping around and hugging him, and she had used the phone ever since.
It was the phone he gave her, so of course, he didn’t need to compensate her.
Upon uttering the words asking him for compensation, Alice realized that the words she had instinctively spoken were entirely inappropriate.
Leaving the hospital, Chester’s car was already waiting at the main gate.
Keith Antony was holding the door open, evidently waiting for her.
Alice deliberately ignored him and reached out to hail a taxi.
Keith stepped forward to persuade her, "Miss Alice, it’s noon, and the sun is scorching. It’s hard to find a taxi..."
Alice gave Keith a glare filled with irritation, refusing to speak to him, and continued to try catching a cab.
As Keith had predicted, it was indeed noon changeover time, and not a single taxi stopped.
"Miss Alice..."
"Mind your own business!"
Keith knew Alice was sulking and hung his head, daring not to say more.
At that moment, a strong arm suddenly seized Alice’s wrist, pulling her toward the car.
Chester, who had somehow gotten out of the car, was leading her towards it.
Alice struggled, "Let go, let go of me..."
Chester’s face was cold, and he neither spoke nor loosened his grip.
Alice then struck his injured right hand... only to realize he seemed to feel no pain, persistently holding her tight.
In the end, she couldn’t resist and was pulled into the car...
With a "bang," the car door closed, and Alice cursed angrily, "Bastard."
Chester remained expressionless, unfazed by her continuous scolding, and directly instructed the driver to start driving.
After the car had been driving for a long time, Alice finally quieted down.
She stubbornly gazed out the window, refusing to utter a single word.
Through her peripheral vision, she faintly saw him with his eyes closed, seemingly dozing.
Inwardly, she fumed, never having seen such an overbearing, arrogant man, guilty of so many offenses, yet sleeping so soundly and guiltlessly.
Alice leaned back against her seat, mumbling, "Assistant Antony, don’t joke with me like this next time."
Sitting in the front seat, Keith had an indescribably aggrieved expression but could only say to Alice, "I’m sorry, Miss Alice."
"It’s fine... By the way, why didn’t I see Miss Yule?"
"Oh, the boss got injured after sending Miss Yule back."
"And you didn’t call Miss Yule?"
"I did... I did..." Keith stammered when lying. Of course, he hadn’t called because Alice was the first person he thought of.
Alice frowned, "Then why didn’t she come?" A boyfriend getting injured, even if it’s a minor one, should deserve a visit!
Keith replied, "Uh... Miss Yule... she has a case to attend to."
Alice instinctively blurted, "Seems like she doesn’t care much about her boyfriend... a case is more important than her own boyfriend."
"Stop the car."
The person who had been resting with eyes closed suddenly spoke up.
The driver hurriedly pulled the car over, interrupting Alice and Keith’s conversation.
Keith attentively asked, "Boss, is there something the matter?"
Chester opened his eyes, looking coldly at Alice, "Get out."
Alice hadn’t realized Chester was ordering her until the icy gaze on her back made her turn her head to look at him in confusion.
In his cold eyes, she saw indifference.
Keith was incredulous, "Boss, you’re... you’re asking Miss Alice to get out of the car?" It seemed it was the boss who dragged Miss Alice onto the car earlier, and now...
Chester’s chilly gaze on Alice conveyed everything to everyone in the car.
"Are you mad I mentioned Charlotte Yule?"
Chester didn’t respond.
Alice nodded, "Fine, I’m getting out... I didn’t want to ride in your car anyway." With those words, Alice opened the car door and got out.
"Miss Alice..."
Keith tried to persuade her to stay.
But Chester had already instructed the driver coldly, "Drive..."
The driver didn’t dare delay and drove off swiftly.
Alice stood by the roadside, watching as the car disappeared in an instant. Her chest was blocked with frustration, while her heart felt as if it was being tightly grasped by someone, an indescribable pain spreading from her chest.
It seemed that for Charlotte Yule, even if not out of love, there was at least tender care and protection from him.
Actually, she hadn’t meant to criticize Charlotte Yule; she just felt that as a girlfriend, one should pay more attention to their boyfriend.
After the car drove away, Keith couldn’t help but say, "Boss, treating Miss Alice like this seems..."
Keith barely finished his sentence, when he suddenly noticed beads of sweat forming on the boss’s forehead.
The next second, Chester tightly held his forehead, his complexion turning pale and bloodless.
Keith was terrified, "Boss..."
By the time Keith rushed from the front seat to the back, Chester had already passed out.
Paris Central Hospital.
Chester leaned back in his chair, gently rubbing his brow.
Three experts, along with Director Turner, who had flown to Paris two days earlier, were watching Chester with concern.
Keith’s face was already pale, the reality he just heard leaving him dazed for a while.
Director Turner spoke, "Mr. Robinson, it really can’t be delayed any longer. Surgery is a must soon... otherwise, things will only get more dangerous."
