But John can only make a kind of rasping voice like “ah” with such a throat, and there is nothing to do to heal him.
Compared to Alice’s remorse, John didn’t care too much and smiled to comfort her. He takes out a small drawing board, writing down, “It’s okay. I have been reticent.”
Seeing the words on the board, Alice feels guilty and uneasy. When she is about to say something, a sudden uneasiness of the stomach makes her run to the bathroom.
When she comes out after vomiting, there is no enthusiasm but loneliness in John’s eyes. He used to be a gynecologist, so he is clear what is going on with Alice.
“Congratulations...”
Looking at the word on the drawing board, Alice freezes for a moment and her eyes turn red, looking at smiling John. “John, I don’t want to keep it.”
John’s hand holding a pen pauses. Looking at her, he seems to think of something and looks a little stirred. Regardless of the pain at the wrist, he quickly writes down, “Edward does not believe in you, does he?
Alice shakes her head.
John breathes a sigh of relief. If Edward is mistaken about Alice this time, he will never leave him alone even at the risk of his life.
John is only a little surprised at the beginning that she does not want to keep the baby. Later, he guesses about what she worries about and the tangled knots in her heart.
Getting pregnancy and giving a birth are the most important period for a woman to be accompanied by her lover.
But at that time, it is the fear, the danger, the cruel methods, and the shadow of their torture that Alice has undergone, but for he has helped to keep the baby...
Although he understands, but he cannot soothe the fear that she has undergone. What he can do is to say, “everything will be all right.”
Alice nodded, making a forced smile, with a hint of reluctance.

Perhaps because of the round-up of kindergarten by the press before, which makes Alice worried about her kids, she decides to send her kids to school herself.
Owing to the round-up, Edward specially arranged six bodyguards with them.
So when Alice goes out, her car will be surely followed by one bodyguards’ car at least. She originally wants to say “No”, but she finally acquiesces, thinking of that Rebecca was frightened by the round-up.
When they arrived at the kindergarten, a group of reporters swarmed up and surrounded them.
Their questions are still very sharp, and Alice is not about to answer, but she thinks that it is strange. Why are the reporters here today? Since the last round-up, these reporters has not been here for a period.
It is as if these people had been informed that she was coming. It cannot be overstated that she is haunted by them.
Fortunately, there are six bodyguards, so it is not so difficult that Alice walks into the kindergarten hand in hand with her kids. Looking at the scene, the parents around who send their kid to school believe it is a big star here that sends her kids to school.
Just when Alice ignores this group of reporters, she never thought that Janet comes here, which is unexpected, but not undeserved.
With a delicate hair style and an elegant smile on her face of well-maintenance, Janet can be recognized just by a look that she is an upper-class lady. But in such a kindergarten, the people here are rich, so ladies like Janet are common.
So when Janet appeared, few onlookers paid any attention to her.
But it does not mean that this group of reporters who are clear about her identity don’t pay attention to her. She is the mother of SA Group’s president, the mistress of the Smith Family!
