Alice heard his fast, shallow breathing near her ear.
Her heart fluttered unexpectedly, and she gripped the sheet firmly.

slightly turned his head and laughed softly,“Why Alice’s voice shook. “Why wouldn’t I? Are you trying to harass and flirt with me right now?” Jack sat up slightly and looked at her face, “You’re my girlfriend, so I’m not flirting with you. I just want you to like me a bit more.”

She was his girlfriend. Shouldn’t she let him kiss her?
Alice looked up and said firmly, “Jack, I told you we’re breaking up. I’m not your girlfriend anymore.”

you.
Her voice shook, and her eyes began to turn red.
She wanted to know how he saw their relationship after she learned his true identity and suggested breaking up.
Jack saw her crying and felt confused for a moment.
He didn’t mean to make her cry.
He softly wiped her tears and said, “Don’t cry. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said that. I promise, I will respect your thoughts from now on.”
He would ask her before kissing her.
Alice didn’t want to cry because it embarrassed her.
But when he touched her face, her tears poured out uncontrollably.
Seeing her cry, Jack felt a strong pain in his heart.-
He leaned down and softly said, “Don’t cry, please. I’m sorry.”
Alice sniffled but stayed silent.
“I was wrong to lie to you for so long. If you really want to break
up with me, then okay.”
What could Jack do with her crying so much? He could only agree with what she said.
Alice cried even more when he agreed to the breakup.
Why did she feel worse?
Alice pushed him away awkwardly.“Then stay away.”
Now that they were broken up, he was her ex. Then they should maintain some distance between them.

me court you again. This time, I’ll do

quietly, “Feeling better?”
She wiped her tears, feeling awkward.“You’re too close,” she said, pushing him away firmly.
*Jack raised himself up and narrowed his eyes.“Does that mean you’re not angry anymore?”
“Why did
hide who you are? Did you
you think I was with you for your money?“.
Alice wanted to know the answer.
Jack looked at her and sat on the bed edge, saying, “It’s not that. There’s another reason.”
What reason?”
Jack put
his hands on his legs and looked down.“I can’t tell you now.”
Alice glanced at his side.“In New York, did you hide who you are from everyone, or only from me?”
“From everyone, but not Andrew.”
Jack went to New York secretly to see how Alice lived.
Hearing this, Alice felt slightly relieved.
Jack turned his head.“Why did you ask that?”
Alice glanced at the ceiling.“If you hid it just from me, I’d think you had a bad reason.” If Jack hid it from everyone, it meant his New York trip was secret, so he hid his identity from all.
She got that.
She stared at him.“But you hid it from everyone. You’re probably worried because your status- Fortunately, I’m just an ordinary person and don’t need to have such worries.” Jack’s eyes intense, then he touched her forehead and sighed when he felt her normal

“It’s cold and a bit greasy, not good for you eat. I’ll get you a fresh one.
Jack checked the lunchbox, sounding a bit critical, and took it away.
Soon, Jack put a dinner from Pear Orchard in front of Alice.“These foods would be better choices.”
Alice also thought light food was better for her now.
She looked at him.“Have you eaten?”
Jack took her utensils and ate the food she left.
Alice was surprised. She said, “I already ate from this.”

Jack ate fast, finishing in a few bites.
He set down his fork.“I’ll send someone from the TG Company to stay with you tonight. If you need anything, tell them.”
“It’s fine, I can handle it alone.”
“They’re here to help you. If you don’t use them, they might lose their jobs.”
Alice was surprised. “But aren’t they part of the TG Company?”
Why would they lose their jobs because of her?
“When they initially came to the hospital to bother you, they were already fired. The only reason they’re still at the TG Company is because they’re required to stay with you.”
Jack’s tone was matter–of–fact.
Alice frowned.“I want to hire them myself.”
She understood that wealthy families typically had private assistant teams to manage daily necessities like meals, clothing, and lodging, and even had specialized PR teams.
But since she and Jack weren’t married, why should she accept his arrangement of a private assistant team?
It seemed a bit odd.
Jack gathered the lunchbox.“Okay.”
Alice glanced at his back.“Hey, how’s your grandmother?”
“Are you worried about her?”
Jack shifted.“I’ll visit her with you tomorrow. Don’t fret; I’ve told her about you.”
“Really, you mentioned me?”
Alice’s pulse quickened.“What exactly did you say?”
“Just that I like a girl.”
His casual words broke through Alice’s guard.
“Alice, despite hiding my identity, I truly care about you.”
Alice’s heart skipped a beat, her face staying calm, but internally, she felt a surge of emotions.
She had guessed earlier that Jack’s secrecy indicated he was cautious around her. While with the Welch family, she saw rich men date girls from regular backgrounds. She understood their mindset.
Though the Welch family was rich, next to the Wilson family, they seemed ordinary. She was truly upset that Jack hid his identity, feeling disrespected.
Actually, she was beginning to doubt herself in love.
The wealth difference between the Wilson family and the Welch family was huge. That was the reason why she lacked confidence.
“Goodnight.”
After Jack left, he shut the hospital door.
