    Chapter 54


    When Alita stepped out of the hospital, she saw several cars parked at the entrance, clearly


    belonging to the Lewis family.


    gan


    Jaydon walked out behind her, having been discharged as well. Holding an elegant crystal cane in


    hand, he passed by Alita as if she were invisible and got into the most luxurious car.


    Cecilia turned her head and smiled triumphantly at Alita.


    Alita took a deep breath, intending to take a taxi. Though she had barricaded her heart, their


    treatment still hurt her.


    The doors of the two cars parked behind opened. Two men got out.


    “Alita,” they called out.


    These two male voices not only caught Alita’s attention but also made Jaydon, who was sitting in


    the car, nce over and roll down the window.


    Kim and Samuel walked toward her.


    “Alita, Annabel has something on, and she can’te. She told me to pick you up. I’ll take your


    luggage.” Kim smiled politely while reaching for Alita’s bag.


    Samuel smiled faintly. “You are busy with the bank and the preparations for tomorrow’s engagement


    ceremony, Kim. I should give Alita a ride. I’m at home these days with nothing to do anyway.”


    Kim’s smile broadened. “It’s not a problem. It won’t take much time.”


    Samuel chuckled and gave in generously. “Alright then.


    Jaydon’s handsome face turned stormy suddenly. He shouted overbearingly at Alita, “Alita, are you


    a fool? Why are you standing there? Get in the car!”


    The sudden


    roar made everyone tremble.


    Alita shivered, then steadied her nerves. She turned with a joyless smile and replied, I’m sorry. can’t


    amodate me. I’ll take Samuel’s car.


    Your car i


    is too crowded. 1


    Without looking at Jaydon’s reaction, Alita snatched the bag from Kim’s hands, walked to Samuel’s


    car, and got in.


    Jaydon’s green eyes grew stormy. “Alita, how dare you defy me,’ he thought.


    Kim nced at Jaydon, then looked at Alita. A faint mockery shed across his face before Kim


    returned to his usual


    composure.


    With a graceful bow to Jaydon and Kim, Samuel got into the car.


    One by one, the cars slowly left the hospital.


    Alita rxed and leaned against the car window. She put her hand out the window, enjoying the


    breeze with half-closed ryes. There was both joy and sadness on her face.


    Samuel turned to look at her, his eyes filled with tenderness. “Are youfortable?”


    “Yeah, I am. Samuel, when can Iugh or cry whenever I want?” Alita asked.


    “You can do it now. Laugh out loud if you want, and if you want to cry, I have plenty of tissues in the


    car, I won’tugh at you,” Samuel replied, his eyes shining brightly.

    Alita beganughing. Herughter rang clear and sounded pleasant to the cars. She rarelyughed


    like that. Samuel did not expect Alita to look surprisingly beautiful when she did.


    Afterughing as much as she wanted, Alita sighed. “Samuel, this world is too cruel. Hope,


    expectation, happiness… They feel like knives stabbing into me. I often feel like I can’t bear it


    anymore. I want to escape, to leave forever.” Alita leaned against the car window, tears streaming


    down her face.


    A white handkerchief appeared in front of Alita. Through her tears, the handkerchief resembled a


    white


    Samuel shook the handkerchief. “Take it and wipe your tears. Don’t just stare at it.”


    rose.


    Alita’s heart pounded wildly. She stared at his hands in fear. Those were the same actions and


    words. She swallowed and shrank away.
