Chapter 1109 - 577: Extra: Never Letting You Go!!!
"I’ve already called General Laurence... He was very worried when he heard you fainted and is rushing back from New York.""Aunt PA, could you lend me your phone for a moment?"
"Sure..." Aunt PA took out her phone and handed it to Alice Robinson, "Are you going to call General Laurence?"
Alice Robinson didn’t answer and just took the phone, lowering her head to dial a series of numbers.
Aunt PA froze for a long time when she saw the series of numbers Alice Robinson dialed.
As she placed the phone by her ear, Alice Robinson’s eyes suddenly brimmed with tears.
"Miss Robinson, why are you crying..." Aunt PA asked anxiously.
Alice Robinson sniffed, choking back tears, and said to Aunt PA, "I’m fine... Could you all leave for a while?"
"But Miss Robinson..."
"Please go!"
Aunt PA left the hospital room anxiously.
When Alice Robinson was finally alone in the room, she allowed her tears to flow freely.
The call was connecting, but no one was picking up from the other end...
Just as Alice Robinson was about to give up, the call was finally answered.
"It’s me." Her voice was raspy to the extreme.
He gave an almost inaudible "Hmm."
"Are you busy?" She could hear the sound of him flipping through files, clearly busy with work in New York.
"Hmm."
"Could you put aside your work for a moment and listen to me?"
She heard him stop flipping through the files.
She knew he was waiting for her to speak at that moment.
She took a few deep breaths and slowly began, "I want to go to you and take care of you."
He remained silent for a long time on the other end, clearly having already guessed the reason for her sudden decision.
"I’m fine, I don’t need you to take care of me."
"This is what I owe you."
"Nonsense!"
Unable to hold back, she burst into tears, "I’m not being irrational... Brother, please let me stay by your side, okay?"
He was silent again for a long time.
She sobbed uncontrollably, choking on her tears.
"Don’t cry, you’re a grown-up, why are you acting like a child?"
"I..."
"I’m not dead yet."
"I don’t want you to die..."
"What’s wrong? Why does your voice sound hoarse?"
"I’m in the hospital."
He frowned, "You’re sick?"
Alice Robinson shook her head, "I miss you... I miss you so much... I’m worried about you..."
"Silly girl..."
"Brother... Let me go to you, alright?"
He didn’t say anything.
She choked out, "I don’t care whether you agree or not. If you won’t come back to Paris, I’ll go to New York, go to T City to find you. If you avoid me, I’ll go to the ends of the earth to find you..."
"Are you crazy?"
"I am crazy... if I weren’t, I wouldn’t have fallen in love with you..."
"You stay in the hospital obediently... I’m coming back to Paris soon!"
"Alright, I’m waiting for you."
After ending the call, Alice Robinson looked up and saw Aunt PA.
"Miss Robinson, do you know what you’re doing right now?" Aunt PA shook her head sadly, "You’re going to ruin your relationship with General Laurence like this..."
"I’ll explain everything to Claud."
"Miss Robinson... Are you really sure about this? By making this decision, you’re destroying yourself!"
"I don’t care anymore, I don’t care about anything..."
Alice Robinson had a deep sleep.
The images in the dream were so beautiful...
In a field of sunflowers, Rachel ran and roamed amidst the flowers...
He held her, looking into the distance.
The wind lifted her hair, dancing lightly in the air.
She smiled sweetly at him, leaning on his shoulder.
His arm gently tightened, he lowered his head, and kissed between her strands of hair.
"Brother..."
A sharp cry startled Aunt PA who was sleeping beside her.
Aunt PA hurriedly turned on the bedside lamp, nervously approaching, "Miss Robinson, what’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"
Alice Robinson shook her head repeatedly, grabbing Aunt PA’s arm, "Where’s my brother? Has he come?"
Aunt PA looked gloomy, shook her head, "Miss Robinson, it’s still not dawn yet."
Alice Robinson glanced around and realized she was still amidst the cold white walls of the hospital, then slowly let go of Aunt PA’s hand and leaned back against the bed head.
"Miss Robinson, are you thirsty? I’ll get you a glass of water?"
Alice Robinson absentmindedly nodded.
Before long, Aunt PA brought water to Alice Robinson.
Alice Robinson drank some water, her tone slightly calmer, "What time is it now?"
Aunt PA glanced at the time and said, "It’s already past five, it will be dawn soon."
"Aunt PA, can you get me a mirror?"
"What’s wrong?"
"Do I look terrible like this?"
Aunt PA laughed, "Miss is beautiful; she never looks terrible."
"No, I look terrible now. If my brother sees me, he’ll think I look awful... I need to wash my face, put on makeup, wear a beautiful dress..." Alice Robinson struggled to get out of bed.
Aunt PA hurried to steady Alice Robinson, firmly calling out, "Miss..."
Only then did Alice Robinson stop her actions, stunned and looking at Aunt PA.
Aunt PA helped Alice Robinson settle against the headboard again, feeling distressed, "Why do you put yourself through this?"
Alice Robinson spoke hurriedly, "Aunt PA, you don’t understand. My brother said he’s returning to New York right away... He’ll definitely appear in front of me by dawn."
Aunt PA sat at the edge of the bed, letting out a deep sigh, "Miss... why can’t you let go? You and Mr. Robinson are impossible..."
"Why?"
"Everyone knows that Mr. Robinson is your brother. If you two are together, outsiders will surely see it as incest, damaging the Robinson family’s good reputation built over a century. Most importantly, your uncle and those men are always coveting the Robinson family business. If Mr. Robinson wasn’t a Robinson, no matter how capable he is, the Robinson family business would fall into the hands of Robinsons, and you would have nothing except Mr. Robinson..."
"Having him is enough for me."
"But Mr. Robinson’s heart isn’t with you..."
"No, he cares about me. Everyone can see he cares."
"He only has sibling feelings for you... He has always treated you as a sister."
"No, no, Aunt PA, you don’t understand... My brother doesn’t just see me as a sister. His affection for me is a man’s affection for a woman..."
"That’s because every time Mr. Robinson thinks of Miss Quentin, he sees you as Miss Quentin. He’s just treating you as a stand-in for Miss Quentin..."
"You’re talking nonsense."
Looking at Alice Robinson’s naive face unwilling to acknowledge reality, Aunt PA spoke painfully, "Miss, no one knows Mr. Robinson better than you... Can you really not see whether there’s Miss Quentin in his heart?"
"I don’t care..." Alice Robinson swallowed the bitterness in her throat, smiling naively, "As long as he’s beside me."
"Miss..."
"Aunt PA, quickly turn off the light, I need to rest well... When my brother comes later, I want to see him full of energy."
"Miss..."
Alice Robinson had already pulled up the quilt, closed her eyes, living in her own dream.
Aunt PA shook her head helplessly, sighing at her inability to stop this.
When Alice Robinson woke up again, it was already nine in the morning.
The moment she opened her eyes, seeing the sunlight streaming into the room, Alice Robinson sat up sharply, "Aunt PA..."
Aunt PA rushed in from outside, "Miss..."
"What time is it now?"
"It’s nine o’clock."
Alice Robinson was annoyed, "Why didn’t you wake me up even when it’s this late..."
"I saw Miss sleeping and couldn’t bear to wake you..."
"Has my brother come?" Alice Robinson asked urgently.
Aunt PA said, "Not yet... but Assistant Antony just came by to see you, saying Mr. Robinson has already landed."
Alice Robinson was excited, "He landed?"
Aunt PA nodded.
Alice Robinson was overjoyed, quickly jumping off the hospital bed and rushing into the bathroom of the hospital room.
While Alice Robinson was showering in the bathroom, Keith Antony arrived.
The moment Keith Antony walked in, Aunt PA felt a chilly aura in the room. Indeed, after Keith Antony entered the hospital room, he stepped aside, and behind him, a tall, cold figure entered the room.
Seeing Chester Robinson, Aunt PA’s body trembled slightly, she bowed her head and called out, "Mr. Robinson."
Chester Robinson’s gaze had already fallen on the hospital bed, his brow furrowed slightly, "Where is she?"
Aunt PA replied in a small voice, "Miss is showering."
While Aunt PA spoke, the sound of rushing water from the bathroom entered Chester Robinson’s ears.
Chester Robinson signaled Aunt PA with a wave, "Leave first!"
Aunt PA looked at Chester Robinson with difficulty, and Keith Antony quickly gave Aunt PA a look. Subsequently, Aunt PA followed Keith Antony out of the hospital room.
In the spacious, quiet hospital room, only the sound of the showering water from the bathroom could be heard.
Chester Robinson sat on the only sofa in the hospital room, lighting up a cigarette.
The world perceives Doctor Robinson as someone who never smokes, so when he does smoke, it’s usually his most genuine moment.
His long fingers flicked the ash into the ashtray, his gaze fixated on the bathroom door with an unusually deep expression.
Alice Robinson had no idea that Chester Robinson was already behind the door...
Feeling refreshed and fragrant, her mood was elated.
After opening the door, she originally intended to tidy herself, but instead, she saw him sitting on the sofa...
His face was expressionless, his gaze intense, his dark eyes seemingly boundless.
She feared his gaze because such a gaze signifies his anger at the moment...
Yet at this moment, her excitement at his presence far surpassed the fear in her heart.
She ran to him, straddling his legs, hugging him tightly, "Brother..."
He had finished his cigarette, holding her hips, his gaze stern, "Get down."
"I don’t want to..."
She pouted, leaning against his shoulder, holding him tightly.
His cold voice echoed in her ear, "Claud Laurence will be here soon, do you really want him to see us like this?"
