Chapter 162 Ethan Is Going Insane (1)
It was fine even if Pierce was still unconscious. As long as Alice took care of everything, she would be able to keep him out of danger.
After finishing what she came for, Alice did not rush to leave. As there were just too many things she had to deal with in Rodcaster, there was no saying when the next time she would see Pierce again was, and so she wanted to spend more time with him.
Sensing her thoughts, Jane quietly left the room to give her some space.
As Alice sat by the bed, she did not say anything and only gazed at her brother silently. She yearned for him to wake up, but she didn’t want him to go through the dangers she was experiencing either.
Moreover, she had no idea if Pierce could hear her speak, and she was afraid that he would be upset if he knew what was going on, so she decided to keep some things to herself.
Just like that, Alice stayed by his side for two hours, and it was only when Jane called her for dinner that she left the ward.
Worried about the two children, Jane couldn’t help but ask while they were having their meal, “How’s Apollo and Caroline?”
Of course, the purpose of her question was not purely out of curiosity, but she also wanted to distract Alice a little so that she would not be wallowing in despair.
“Jane, Caroline found her family.” The reason why Alice had not informed Jane beforehand was because she was worried that their calls would be intercepted. However, she did not hide anything now that they were together.
After seven years, Alice now completely treated Jane as her family.
“Really? That’s a relief.” Jane didn’t pry any further and purely felt happy for Caroline.
Alice looked at her and added, “I also helped Apollo find his biological father.”
Jane paused in her tracks, her eyes staring intently at Alice as she pressed, “Apollo’s biological father? Who is it?”
Jane knew that there were too many threats around Alice, so she always had her guard up for all these years, and she would not stick her nose into things that didn’t involve her. However, she just couldn’t hold it in any longer when it came to this matter.
“It’s Keith Rowland. He saved me seven years ago.” Alice’s explanation was curt, but it made everything crystal clear.
“Keith Rowland? Is that the Rowland Family I’m thinking about?” Jane was momentarily stunned before her eyes gleamed. “In that case, will you let Apollo acknowledge them as his family?”
In Jane’s opinion, if Apollo admitted his relationship to the Rowland Family, they would be able to help Alice out as they were a kind–hearted bunch.
Alice had spent many difficult years all alone, and yet there was nothing she could do to help besides taking care of Pierce. Hence, her heart ached for Alice, and she yearned that there would be someone who would lend her a helping hand and take the burden off her shoulders so that she would not be bearing everything alone anymore.
“If Apollo wants to acknowledge them, I won’t stop him. I told Apollo that I made an appointment with Keith when I arrived, and they should’ve already met by now.” As Alice continued talking, the pain on her face finally dissipated somewhat.
