There was a fervent look in his eyes. Alice was a little uncomfortable being stared at by him. She said dully, "If nothing else, have a rest, and I will go back first."
"Are you going back so early?" Kennedy checked time, saying, "Stay with me for a while."
Such a natural tone made Alice anxious.
His tone was so relaxed, as if he was not the one who seriously questioned her just now.
Did his mood change so fast?
Alice quietly reproved him in her heart, and then said, "No, I have something to do this afternoon, I have to go back first."
"What's the matter?" Kennedy asked. Alice's heart missed a beat when hearing it.
She promised to pick Jack up from school in the afternoon, and when she thought of Jack, Alice felt that his face almost overlapped with Kennedy's.
Thinking of this, Alice coughed lightly, "It's not a big deal, but I have to go. You should recover in the hospital. I will come to see you tomorrow when I have time."
"Then what about my dinner? Don't you even send me dinner if you don't come?" His tone was reproachful.
Alice thought about it. It seemed that there was no one in his family who could cook. It was not a good idea to ask Nathan to bring him food. A careless man like Nathan would probably only buy rice.
No, Alice shook her head.
Why was she thoroughly confused? Kennedy's family was famous and rich. There were first-class chefs in his family. He could get anything he wanted to eat.
Thinking of this, Alice said, "Let me think about it first. If I have time, I will bring you food."
After speaking, Alice did not gave him a chance to speak again, picked up the bag and turned to leave.
After leaving the ward, Alice let out a long sigh.
Fortunately, she escaped quickly. If she didn't come out, Kennedy would definitely ask what if she was not free?
At that time she would have to make excuses again.
It was terrible.
Thinking of this, Alice quickly left the hospital.
At school
There were a lot of people at the gate right now, and Alice raised her hand and glanced at the time on the watch. Jack wouldn't finish school until five minutes later, so she still had to wait for a while.
After waiting for nearly five minutes, the bell for the end of class finally rang inside.
Immediately afterwards, a teacher led a group of children out of the class in a long line.
In consideration of safety, teachers here knew the parents of each child. The teacher would identify them one by one, and the children whose names were called should come out of the queue. Alice was very conspicuous in the crowd. As soon as the teacher came out, he saw her and smiled, "Jack, your mommy is here to pick you up today."
Alice didn't go to school many times, but because she was so beautiful and Jack was very popular with teachers at school, teachers here all knew her.
Jack was called by his name. He poked a small head out of the line, and then looked outside.
When his eyes met Alice's, his calm eyes burst with brilliant light, and then he ran towards Alice.
"Slow down, be careful." The teacher hurriedly exclaimed when he saw this scene, for fear that Jack would fall.
