Chapter 84


    "I want to thank you." Kim grabbed her hand, holding it delicately. "For giving me a chance to


    protect you again. I feel really happy."


    Alita remained still, letting Kim hold her hand gently. A subtle sense of sadness crept into her heart.


    What was it about her that made him love her so persistently for such a long time? She wanted to


    tell him her true feelings but couldn''t do so.


    Only those who had suffered could understand that kind of anguish. She felt he had suffered


    enough, so she couldn''t bring herself to speak. Her silence led Kim to believe that she had epted


    it.


    Kim released her hand, stood up, and smiled lightly. "Feeling hungry? I bought some mushroom


    soup for you. The doctor said you can only have things like omelets and soup for now. No cold or


    raw foods, as they might affect the healing of your wound."


    He had prepared the excuse and informed the doctors and nurses topletely conceal the


    incident of the miscarriage.


    "Speaking of which, I''m a little hungry," Alita said yfully. She felt that it was strange. She had


    suffered external injuries, so why couldn''t she eat something cold?


    As she was pondering, Kim poured out the mushroom soup and walked to her bedside to feed her.


    He scooped a small spoonful of soup and brought it to her lips. She opened her mouth and drank it.


    As she drank the soup, memories flooded back. She couldn''t help but think of the time Jaydon had


    fed her like this. Just that one time, he considerately blew on the soup to cool it before delivering it


    to her lips. Now, the soup had be increasingly bitter as she ate, to the point where she could


    barely swallow.


    She said, "I''m full."


    "You''re full after just a little?" Kim looked at the remaining mushroom soup in the bowl.


    "Yeah, it''s strange. Maybe I was just too hungry. I''ll eat moreter," Alita said with an awkward


    smile. She did not know what she was thinking. From now on, that man had to bepletely


    erased from her memory. She couldn''t let him continue to affect her mind.


    Seeing her lost in thought, Kim didn''t press further. "Eat more when you feel hungryter." He put


    away the soup.


    At that moment, a gray figure walked in from outside, holding a meal box in hand.


    Seeing the neer, Alita''s face darkened. She said to Kim, "Kim, please go to the entrance of


    the ward and put up a sign. Those with thest name Lewis and the dog are not allowed inside."


    With a helpless smile, Samuel said, "Alita, do you hate me this much? I''ve always treated you with


    care."


    "Enough, Samuel. Do I need to tell you what kind of person you are? Please leave. I don''t want to


    see you again." Alita pointed to the door, speaking coldly.


    If it weren''t for him, Jaydon would have believed she was really being held hostage. She and Kim


    could safely leave. She thought Samuel would help her, but unexpectedly, he yed a trick on her


    at thest moment. If it weren''t for him, Jaydon wouldn''t have known she was lying. Jaydon wouldn''t


    have cried, leading to their painful separation.


    So, Samuel was the most deceitful person.


    Kim was somewhat puzzled. When did their rtionship be so hostile? Something must have


    happened between them.


    Samuel put down the meal box and stood by the bedside. "Alita, what kind of person am I? How


    have I treated you? Do you have no feelings for me?"


    "Don''t be so shameless. Get out!" With a cold face, Alita pointed to the door, sternly shouting. She


    had nothing more to say to him.


    Samuel grabbed her hand, which was pointing straight to the door.


    Alita eximed, "What are you doing? Let go!"


    Samuel tightly held her hand and took off the ring from his finger. Then, he put it on her ring finger,


    which fit perfectly.


    Kim was instantly astonished. He clearly remembered that thest time Samuel had said this ring


    was a gift from Alita, and Alita imed that she had found it. But how could such a coincidence


    happen in the world, and it fit perfectly when she put it on?


    Did they have any undisclosed secrets between them?


    "Alita, this belongs to you, and you belong to me." Samuel''s voice was warm, with a hint of


    domineering.

    "Go to hell, you shameless bastard!" Alita angrily shook off his hand. The men of the Lewis family


    were all arrogant.


    Kim couldn''t bear it any longer and forcefully pulled Samuel''s hand away. "So, Samuel, you also


    harbor such improper thoughts about Alita? You are shameless."


    "What about you, Kim? You don''t hesitate to use another woman to get close to this sister-inw of


    yours. You seem quite righteous." Samuel pulled back his hand, smiling lightly. "Alita, I''lle again


    tomorrow."


    As Samuel stepped out, Alita immediately took off the ring, as if it would stick to her hand forever if


    she waited a second longer.


    "What''s going on between you and him?" Kim''s heart went numb. He was afraid to hear the truth


    about an affair between them.


    "Not much. I don''t want anything to do with this person anymore." Alitay down wearily, closed her


    eyes, and covered her forehead with her hand.


    Kim smiled bitterly. "Don''t tell me you had an affair with Samuel and hid it from Jaydon. Then, you


    want to leave the Lewis family and cut ties with Samuel. He agreed, so he has been pursuing you


    all this time. Is that the situation?" This was the best exnation he coulde up with based on


    what he had seen.


    However, he couldn''t ept that Alita, who married Jaydon out of necessity, would secretly have an


    affair with Samuel.


    Alita took her hand away, opened her eyes, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?


    Please don''t make baseless guesses. It''s not like that."


    "Then tell me what the truth is. Tell me!" Kim almost shouted.


    "I''m tired now. I don''t want to talk about this annoying person anymore. I have nothing to do with


    him. If you don''t believe me, I won''t force you." Hearing Kim''s shout, Alita frowned in annoyance


    and turned away.


    Kim''s heart shattered into pieces. He turned around and quickly walked out of the ward. He couldn''t


    make a judgment immediately. He needed some time to calm down.


    The room quieted down again. Alita opened her eyes, gazing at the sky outside the window. She


    watched a white cloud drift from one end to the other.


    Suddenly, her expression changed from confusion to determination. She got out of bed, felt a


    momentary dizziness, and held onto the bedside. After feeling a bit better, she opened the wardrobe


    to find her clothes. At the bottom, there was a set of sportswear. She changed into it and walked out


    of the ward.


    She needed to distance herself. This would be the best oue for everyone. She didn''t want to


    linger with Jaydon, Kim, or Samuel anymore.


    *****


    Samuel returned home and heard that Jaydon was lying in his room due to alcohol poisoning. He


    went upstairs to visit Jaydon.


    "Jaydon, are you okay?" Samuel asked with insincere concern.


    Jaydony on the bed with closed eyes. "Is she seriously injured?"


    "It''s okay, but..." Samuel sighed, seeming hesitant to speak.


    Jaydon opened his eyes. "But what?"


    Samuel said, "She''s pregnant!"


    "What?" Jaydon jumped up from the bed, his heart strangely overjoyed. She was really carrying his


    child.


    "Jaydon, what I''m about to say next, you might find it hard to ept, but I think you should know.


    The child... is gone." Samuel looked sad, but he felt satisfied inwardly. He thought, ''Jaydon, it''s time


    for you to experience true despair.''


    Jaydon''s ecstatic mood instantly plummeted. He stood in a daze, taking a long time to regain his


    voice. "She... she aborted the child, didn''t she?"


    "Yeah, it was her decision. Sorry, Jaydon, there''s nothing I could do. Don''t be too sad. Get some


    rest." Samuel pretended to be sorrowful, patted Jaydon''s shoulder, turned around, and smiled


    smugly.


    In the vast room, the temperature seemed to have dropped to freezing point.


    Jaydon clenched his fists, each joint making a creaking sound. A deep-seated hatred, apanied


    by a tearing pain, screamed within him as if wanting to dismember him.


    She really heartlessly aborted their child. He cursed inwardly, ''Alita, I will never forgive you, not


    even in death.''


    *****


    After calmly contemting on the rooftop for an hour, Kim decided to believe Alita. Because what


    he wanted was a future with her, and he didn''t want to delve into the past. Returning to the ward, he


    suddenly found her gone. On the sofa was a set of patient clothing. A bad premonition arose in his


    mind. Kim frantically ran out of the hospital and drove around the city, searching for Alita


    everywhere.


    However, she had already disappeared into the vast sea of people.


    In the evening, Samuel arrived at the ward only to find it empty. The nurse mentioned that the


    patient had left on her own, and Kim left afterward. The glimmering ring at the bedside was the only


    thing left.


    Three men, scattered in different ces, grieved alone. Alita had left, turning their worlds into


    shades of gray.


    *****


    One yearter. At nine o''clock in the morning, inside an office building in Southernwood City, a


    white BMW slowly reversed into a parking space. A woman in an elegant purple suit and white high


    heels stepped out of the car. Her long coffee-colored hair cascaded over her shoulders, with a


    slightly natural curl and a mature, beautiful demeanor. There was no youthful and yfulness, only


    a mature and confident aura, exuding a queenly charm.


    She walked calmly into the office building and took the elevator to the 11th floor.


    The elevator stopped, and she entered a nningpany called Blue Light. It was of medium


    size, but achieving such results within half a year was already quite remarkable.


    "Good morning, boss."


    "Morning."


    She greeted others as she walked, and when she reached the innermost part, she pushed open the


    office door. On the desk were her photos, a pot of cacti, and a box of business cards with the name


    Alita printed on them.


    In a year, not too long but not too short, in her exclusive world, she embarked on a new life, always


    moving forward without looking back.


    The phone rang. It was a call from the business department. Alita calmly answered, "Hello."


    The other party said, "Boss, I just received a wedding nning order. However, the client wants to


    discuss the concept with you in person."


    She replied, "No problem. Ask the client toe in the afternoon."
