Alice looked up at Jack. She blurted the words out.
Jack’s calm heart beat faster at once.
His throat tightened a little.“Don’t say those words to men casually. That’s something men say.”
Alice realized that her words were a little subtle and seemed to imply something.
She lowered her eyes in a flurry.“Don’t misunderstand. I didn’t mean anything by that. You’re my friend, and I can’t let you in trouble because of me.”
“I see.”
Jack looked up at the hospital and asked, “What’s your plan?”
“I want to talk to Garrett personally.”
“Let’s go.”
Alice looked at his back in shock and then jogged to catch up with him.“You don’t need to go with me. I’ll go alone.”
If Jack went to Garrett, the latter wouldn’t let him off easily.
She wouldn’t let that happen.
“Alice, wait for me!”
Noah caught up. He did not expect Alice to take a taxi and leave alone just now. He had no way but to follow the taxi all the way. Alice was more stubborn than he had thought.
After seeing Jack in front of Alice, he immediately wore a cold face and said, “You’re here. It seems that you’re quite
brave.”
He had thought that Jack would flinch.
Alice frowned.“Noah, I told you this has nothing to do with him. Why are you doing this?”
“Alice, I’m doing this for your own good…”
“Enough! What do you even ask me for my thoughts? I don’t need you to do anything for me!”
a by that? Did you
Alice was fed up with their assumptions.
She entered the elevator with a sullen look.
Jack followed, a gleam of sympathy in his eyes.“It’s not that difficult. Don’t get so worked up.”
“That’s easy for you to say, Dr. Wilson. All the pressure is on Alice. With who you are, can you really handle the Yates family in Washington?”
Noah despised Jack very much. In his mind, Jack was perhaps capable and haughty.
However, he was nothing compared to the Yates family in Washington.
Jack stayed calm.“It’s not as complicated as you think. I can solve it with one sentence.”
“Big talk! Let’s see how you solve this with one sentence.”
Noah viewed it as a good opportunity for Alice to see clearly that Jack was nothing but a braggart.
Alice took a deep breath as they exited the elevator. She turned to Jack.“Wait for me outside.”
Jack noticed Alice’s expression and said, “I can go in with you.”

Garrett knew him.
Even if his identity was revealed, he couldn’t bear to see Alice so stressed.
“No!”
Alice said in a serious voice, “Wait for me here.”
Noah disagreed.“Alice, can you stop being so blinded by love?”
Ignoring him, Alice stormed towards the ward.
Just as she pushed open the door, she heard Chloe’s startled voice.“What? Garry, are you not going to pursue the matter?”

“That’s right. I was the one who started the fight in the bar. I was wrong as well. Also, they offered me compensation. Just forget it.”
Garrett had an odd expression on his face as he continued, “Besides, isn’t Alice from the Welch family? For your family, it’s better that I let her off, right?”
Chloe tried to say something else, “But…”
She thought, “Garrett’s attitude was not like this before! What did that guy say to change his mind?”
Garrett looked up.“Chloe, I’m letting them off for your sake.”
Since Andrew had warned him not to reveal too much to the Welch family, he had no way but to lie.
Chloe’s face darkened.“If Luke hadn’t been present, she’d have urged Garrett not to forgive Alice.
But all she could do now was say, “Garry, thank you for valuing me so much. Our family will be grateful.”
Luke breathed a sigh of relief that Garrett had dropped the matter.
Alice found it unbelievable.
Had Garrett indeed decided to let them off? She felt a little queer, but she did not know exactly why.
Noah approached.“Thank you, Mr. Yates. We are sorry for what you’ve been through. Don’t worry, we’ll cover all the medical expenses, and Chloe will take care of you until you recover.”
Garrett cleared his throat and said, “Well, Chloe is also from the Welch family. I don’t want her to feel embarrassed.”
He wondered whether his excuse had convinced others.
Despite Chloe’s inner unhappiness, Garrett’s consideration made her feel valued.
She turned to stare at Alice and asked, “Although this matter is settled, shouldn’t you apologize for Garry’s serious injury?”
Luke nodded.“Yes, an apology is due. Alice, come here.”
Noah frowned and interrupted, “That school doctor is here as well. He is the one who should apologize.”
Noah didn’t want Alice to do so.
Garrett waved his hand hastily.“No… No apology is needed. Don’t take Chloe’s words to the heart.”
Andrew probably hadn’t left yet.
Andrew came to him to stand up for the school doctor, and he promised not to pursue the matter. How could he get Andrew and the doctor to come over again?
By then, he probably would be the one who should say sorry.
Noah said again, “Noah, you’re injured. He owes you an apology.”

“No need. I don’t care about that. Let bygones be bygones, okay?”
Garrett was afraid to see Andrew again for the time being.
Not only Alice but the rest of the Welch family were surprised at how easy it was to resolve.
Something was fishy.

Chloe said somewhat smugly, “Garry, thank you for being so magnanimous
so magnanimous for my sake. I’m very moved. Noah, now that Garry says so, let’s not bring it up again.”
Garrett hastily added, “I need to rest. You can leave now.”
He wanted to stay alone.
Alice and the others left the ward.
Alice let out a sigh of relief. Garrett was not what the rumors said he was. He was surprisingly forgiving.
Chloe said purposely, “Alice, you need to have a serious talk with that school doctor. Stop being so impulsive. Not everyone is as forgiving as Garry.”
Noah nodded. “Chloe, you’re so understanding. I really appreciate you this time.”
Luke turned to Alice.“Don’t hang around with that school doctor anymore. Come home. We will not treat you as we did before. Don’t be angry anymore.”
Alice sneered.
She looked at Luke.“Stop dreaming. I have nothing to do with you all. Stay out of my
life.”
Luke was about to get angry, but Noah stopped him.“Alice, let bygones be bygones. You did so well on your exam this time. We want to throw you a big celebratory banquet. Anything you want, just let me know. I will make it happen.”
Chloe, who stood beside Alice, clenched her hands with envy.
She was determined to reveal what Alice had done. Top scorer in the city? She was sure that Alice had colluded with Drake to cheat.
Alice looked at Noah with her clear, dark eyes, and made the latter’s heart sink.
She took a few steps back. “Throw me a big celebratory banquet? You are so cheeky to say so. You tried to hinder me and force me to miss classes to play games before! Have you forgotten?”
“Alice, how could you speak to us like that?”
“I have even harsher words. Who do you think you are? I don’t need you to throw me a big celebratory banquet!”
Luke shouted back, “I’m your brother!”
“Not anymore.”
