The matter of Alice’s imprisonment is known by John and he feels anxious.
The five years of time left him not too much, as long as he cannot forget about Alice one day, he will never change for a day, and will always be the silly boy who is tortured by love.
When there is desire, there is sorrow, and when there is sorrow, there is fear and trembling, fearing that one will not get what one desires.
He hates himself for not being there for Alice when she needed it most, and even more so for the man who had been hurting her in the name of loving her, Edward Smith.
Edward is the first and last one for Alice, the past that John cannot participate in.
The first thing John reacts to is, what about the two adorable treasures, Alice's biggest worry should be the children! John goes to check on the children first and lie to them that Alice had gone on a business trip.
Fortunately, the two adorable treasures are exceptionally sensible and believe in his words.
This make John feel much relieved.
Just what he doesn’t know was that the two cuties actually already knew the whole thing, Albert had secretly investigated the evidence, and Rebecca is looking for information about the various administrative mistakes that George had made, and they will not be lenient with anyone who dared to hurt Mummy again!
The first thing John does after settling down the children is to go and meet Alice.
They have seen each other often over the past five years, but none of them have been through barred windows and layers of guards like this one.
The corner of Alice’s mouth quirks up and she laughs at herself, "Come for visiting the prison?"
After looking at John’s worried face and expression for a moment of grudging resentment, she laughs and says, "Do I look like those unjustly accused women in ancient times, Dou E? Or Suzan?"
John also laughs, she is long gone from the weak woman who was so weak that she only knew how to cry five years ago, in such a tough environment, she is even able to entertain herself for a while, she had really grown up a lot.
"What are you going to do for later, Albert, Rebecca and your mother?"
The cheerful atmosphere is instantly broken, yeah, she is already at her lowest point, Joanna should not deal with her family, but so what, a sick old man with two children, how could they survive in this society with such high pressure.
Although she has only been sentenced to three years, but as a doctor, she would really have no way out if her life is tainted later on, and with two children, they would definitely be looked down upon in school.
Alice thinks a lot, but she cannot say anything, the future is within reach, but it is not an easy path.
“Alice, what exactly are you and Edward now..."
Although John doesn’t want to admit it very much, but at this time, he really does not have much strength and spirit to compete with the head of a city, but Edward can.
Therefore, at this time, John even hopes that Edward has not given up on Alice yet, and then he will do everything he could to save her.
"How do you see my situation?"
That is, it does not work out. After five years together, he knows Alice very well. In some ways, she is really a stubborn girl.
