"Henrick, let's go back." The doctor's words were still echoing in Alice's mind, that it was a possibility unknown if Henrick's hand would ever recover.
She had asked the doctor privately, only to be proffered with the words that his recovery was not guaranteed.
It also depended on his future circumstances.
In the past few days, she hadn't thought much of it when she saw that Henrick didn't care. The moment she went out and spotted his sad and lonely look, she realized a problem: Henrick was just pretending to be indifferent in front of them. In a place where they couldn't see, he cared.
Smiling, Henrick said, "Allie, before we go back, I want to confirm one thing with you."
Alice suddenly looked at him nervously. "What... is it?"
Henrick smiled gently and asked, "Allie, can we date?"
It was not because he had proved something, but because he really liked her.
He thought, "I've been wandering around for many years. It's time for me to make a decision."
He would live a peaceful life with his child and beloved.
Alice was speechless. Why did he suddenly ask such a childish question?
Weren't they, she mulled, already in a relationship recently?
"Henrick, aren't you chasing me now? I go on dates with you. If we're not dating, then what are we doing?" Alice said shyly and lowered her head, not daring to hold his burning gaze.
Henrick suddenly stood up, walked over, and hugged her with his fine hand. Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he said in surprise, "Allie, thank you!"
He let go of Alice and congratulated her with a smile. "Miss Alice, congratulations, you're now in a relationship."
Alice was instantly amused by him. She parroted him by way of reply, "Mr. Alwynn, congratulations, you're now in a relationship!"
He laughed. "Our Allie is so cute!" If it weren't for the inconvenience of his hands, he would have held her in his arms three times to relieve the joy in his heart.
"Allie, come on, let's take a photo together."
Henrick took out his phone and leaned his head against Alice, recording this wonderful and exciting moment.
He clicked on the button and finally got a few photos.
Speaking of which, this was the first time he and Alice had taken a photo together.
Alice was equally excited. This was the first time she and Henrick had taken a photo together.
After taking the photos, Alice sent the good-looking ones to her mobile phone.
Henrick held her phone and asked with an evil smile, "Allie, now that we've already confirmed our relationship, may I kiss you in the future?"
Alice looked at him in silence.
Who would explain their intentions so clearly?
He had kissed her despite not acquiring her consent before. Indeed, nothing could beat a shameless man!
Sometimes, she felt that he was really stupid and adorable. She totally dig it!
"No." She stamped her feet and went back to her room to pick up her bag. Then she turned around and walked to the door.
Henrick followed behind her with a smile, his mood ever so pleasant.
It was one thing for him to woo Alice, but it was another thing for her to agree to it.
After solving the crux of his worry, Henrick looked down at his limp hand. As long as there was nothing wrong with this hand, everything would be well.
