Chapter 525
Jack took Alice back to the single patient room.
He acted very gently, as if the girl in his arms was as fragile as a porcelain doll.
When he pulled the blanket over Alice, he noticed that her hand was gripping onto him, her fingertips pale, as if clutching onto the last straw of salvation.
Jack took one look and his heart softened completely.
He sat directly on the edge of the bed without moving, reaching out to touch Alice’s forehead. What was she afraid of just now?
At this moment, Andrew walked in and said, “Is Alice okay? I just asked the dean, and he said everything went smoothly.”
He saw the previous posture and thought that something had happened.
Jack glanced at the sleeping person and lowered his voice, saying, “It went smoothly, but she woke up in the end.”
He recounted everything that had just happened.
After listening, Andrew opened his mouth in astonishment and said, “Based on my understanding of Alice, there must be something going on here.”
“I thought so too.”
“Hmph, it seems that the Welch family members were all no good. Look at how they have tortured our Alice.”
Jack glanced casually:“Your home, Alice?”
“Cough, cough. Alright, how is Alice at your home, your home?”
Jack finally averted his gaze and said in a light and airy tone, “If this is true, I would never let the Welch family off the hook.”
“That definitely required seeking revenge for Alice. But why has she never mentioned this matter?”
Andrew found it strange:“You see, we had such a good relationship with Alice before, and we knew all about what she went through in the Welch family. But she never mentioned anything
about this Alex.”
Jack’s thin lips tightened coldly, “I have investigated and Alex did indeed go to the island for research a long time ago and never came back.”
“Long ago, when was that?”
A few
years after the Welch family had an accident, Alex graduated from college early and left. Andrew touched his chin and said, “So, in just a few years, what could possibly happen? It must be something that scares Alice so much that she doesn’t dare to bring it up.”

“I suspected that she had been used for experiments.”
Jack expressed his speculation.

Andrew gritted his teeth in anger and said, “If it’s really like that, I will definitely make Alex pay the price.”
Jack held Alice’s cold hand and spoke gently, “At any cost.”
I would never let her stay in danger all the time.
That night, everyone felt like time was passing very slowly.
Only Alice slept deeply.
She felt like she had had many dreams, each time thinking she had woken up, only to find herself still in the dream.
From the school dormitory fire to the hospital operating table where Alex had his kidney removed, and then back to the scene of the car accident that happened years ago.
Alice saw herself sitting in the car, with her dad driving in the front and her mom accompanying her in the back seat.
The car accident suddenly happened, and she was lifted out of the window by her mother.
“Please, save her first.”
This was the sound of mother crying.
Alice saw the slightly immature hand reaching out and got scratched by the broken glass.
She was taken out, tightly held in someone’s arms, away from the car.
She heard a voice of a boy going through puberty above her head, saying, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
Why did this sound so familiar?
Alice was placed on the ground, and that person ran towards the car. But in that instant, the vehicle exploded.
Alice watched as the car exploded, tears instantly streaming down her face, unable to cry. When people were extremely sad, it was like this, without any movement.
He was as stiff as a rock.
But tears kept falling down.
Suddenly, Alice’s vision went black as someone covered her eyes, not wanting her to see this
scene.
Alice, however, bit his hand and exerted all her strength.
“It’s okay, it’s okay.”
She still heard his gentle voice in her ears, and finally she stopped.

Alice looked up and finally saw what the person who saved her looked like.
That was Jack when he was young.
His facial features were even more immature, with a look of panic, and his clothes were also stained with blood.
When Alice saw the face in front of her, she couldn’t control herself and reached out, and the dream ended.
She opened her eyes and a dazzling light appeared in front of her.

Alice found herself in the hospital, with the sharp smell of disinfectant lingering in the air as she breathed.
Is this a dream or reality?
She couldn’t even distinguish it herself.
“Awake?”
Alice heard a noise and turned her head to see Jack. His face had matured and become handsome, different from the Jack she knew during their teenage years.
She reached out and touched his face.
Jack didn’t move, letting her hand fall on his face, her palm still a little cold.
Alice’s hand suddenly wrapped around his neck, pushing him down.
Jack didn’t resist and moved closer to her face, following her force.
He spoke in a low voice, “What do you want to say?”
But Alice, on the other hand, directly kissed his lips, with a hint of hesitation and curiosity in her
actions.
Jack hadn’t realized yet when his lips were bitten.
“It was true.”
Alice stopped and looked at the injury on his lips.“This was not a dream.”
Jack didn’t know what to say all of a sudden. He approached her and touched her lips with his own:“It’s not a dream.”
“Did it hurt?”
“A little.”
Alice smiled and said, “I had a lot of dreams, and I couldn’t tell which one was reality and which one was a dream.”
Jack held her icy hand and said, “This is reality, not a dream. You have woken up.‘
Alice had been looking at him, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn’t speak. She remembered everything that happened during the car accident.

He saved himself.
At that time, he dared to go back and try to save his own parents, but he was a step too late. But if he had been one step earlier, he would have been killed in the explosion. When Alice thought about these things, her heart felt tight.

Jack wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes and said, “Why are you crying? Who made you feel wronged?”
He felt that Alice never mentioned anything about Alex, there must be a reason.
He also didn’t want to ask at this time, at least wait until she had recovered a bit before saying anything.
Alice only then realized that she had cried, feeling embarrassed.
She had blamed Jack before and had said those hurtful words.
She was indeed not very comfortable telling him.
Alice turned her head slightly, afraid to look at him.
Jack spoke up,“Did you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
Alice shook her head and said, “No, I just wanted to drink water.”
Jack immediately brought her a cup of warm water, held her in his arms, and fed her water little by little.
Alice felt much better after she drank the water.
She opened her mouth with a hoarse voice and asked, “Was anyone injured on the school side?” “No, you were the most severely injured.”
When Jack mentioned this, he couldn’t help but sigh, “You could have left first, why were you so foolish?”
“I didn’t think much at that time. It was in the middle of the night, and surely someone must not have woken up, but I was fine, right?”
“You fainted, and you’re okay?”
Alice lowered her eyelids, and she could hear the rise and fall of his chest.
She answered in a low voice, “Because I didn’t like fire, was it so scary that it made me faint?”
“Because of the car accident that happened back then?”
