Chapter 381 Feeling Nothing
While brushing my wig, Alisa gossiped, “I heard he customized this wig specially for you. Look, I think it’s made of real hair.
*And the doctor from back then? Jack flew him from Sheffold using his family’s private helicopter. Ah. I can’t relate to a love story with a rich president.
“You also have a rich president,” I muttered, which made her glare at me.
“Little girl, don’t challenge my parental authority. I’ll interrogate you properly once you’ve recovered
“But honestly, I think the guy is alright. He’s kind of like Julian, just not as sharp–tongued. Jack is not very vocal. Think about it, okay? He’s already met the family anyway. Julian and I think he’s pretty good.”
I rolled my eyes at her. Alisa thought she could play the role of a parent when she was only slightly older than me.
When I thought about Jack, my expression darkened.
Even passersby would figure out how he felt for me, so how could I not? But considering my situation….
1 closed my eyes. First, it was cancer, and now, I had been hit on the head. I wasn’t even sure if it had affected my intelligence.
My life was filled with hardships. I didn’t want to drag anyone along.
When Alisa kept asking me how I felt about him, I finally spoke up, “I feel nothing I don’t want to think about love right now. Just look at me, Alisa ”
I raised my thin arm, revealing only skin and bones. An IV drip was attached to it, and my head was wrapped in gauze.
With the ever–1
r–present threat of my cancer returning, I dared not to think about love. Even staying alive felt like a luxury.
Alisa walked over and stroked my bald head. “Got it. I’ll just make you cringe every day by being lovey–dovey with Julian in front of you. It’s easy to entertain you anyway.
I rolled my eyes again. She just had to say that. Still, this bickering improved my mood
She was right–returning to the country was nice. At least I had family here, though their words weren’t always pleasant to hear.
When Julian came to check on me, he snorted. “As someone older than you, let me remind you to rest properly. Don’t waste our time and care. If you don’t attend Lisa’s and my wedding next year…”
“You’ll bite me to death?” I winloed at him.
“That can be arranged.”
No wonder Alisa liked Julian; he was just
t like her.
When Penelope came over and saw Julian’s displeased expression, she felt a bit guilty.
“Dr. Pope, I’m just here to discuss the progress of the case, not to ask questions.”
Sure,
you have ten min

Remaining expressionless, Julian pushed the door and exited the ward
