Chapter 13: The terrifying demon is the one with overwhelming power

Chapter 13 The terrifying demon is the one with overwhelming power.After Alice's recovery, she went downstairs to the restaurant for a meal. The seafood that was on the table had been removed and replaced with normal food. She also tried to walk out of the Imperial Garden and found that no one stopped her. It was as if there were no restrictions in the Imperial Garden, and she could come and go as she pleased. However, she was well aware that the security in the Imperial Garden was tight, and it was almost impossible to leave without Adam's permission.

One afternoon, Alice went out alone and called a car to the city. Adam rarely appeared in the Imperial Garden, as if this was just his base of operations, and he appeared and disappeared mysteriously. But even if she couldn't see him, Alice still felt a sense of being completely controlled, which made her shudder.

She walked alone on the streets of Star City. She had been here for more than half a month, but she had never had the opportunity to breathe such free air. She looked up at the sun in the sky, and the sunlight was so intense that tears filled her eyes. She didn't know when she could leave...

Alice stopped at the side of the road and saw a plastic surgery hospital. Without hesitation, she walked in and went to the reception desk."Hello, may I help you?" the receptionist asked.

"I... I saw your recruitment information online, so I came to inquire," Alice said.

"Did you submit your resume?"

"I want to talk to your manager in person," Alice said. After all, her resume was a bit complicated, but if she could have a face-to-face interview, her chances would be greater.

"I'm sorry, we require you to submit a resume and receive a phone call for an interview notification." The receptionist said in a business-like manner.

Alice didn't have a resume. She left school before graduating from college, waiting to have a child, and her work experience was just odd jobs. She didn't have a proper job because she had to take care of her child while working.

She wasn't looking for a job at a plastic surgery hospital for work, but rather to undergo reconstructive surgery through other channels.

Otherwise, if Adam found out, there would definitely be trouble.

She had to do it without anyone knowing...

"...Alice?"When she heard someone calling her, Alice turned around and saw a tall and handsome man, and remembered who he was...

Adam's cousin, Ethan.

When she lived with the Davis Family, she occasionally saw him when he came to Benjamin's house.

But due to his relationship with Adam and the many years that had passed, Alice's expression still showed a hint of panic...

Ethan turned his head and said something to the woman next to him, and the sexy woman left. When she passed by Alice, she glanced at her more than once.

Ethan walked up to Alice and looked at the slender girl, asking kindly, "Do you still remember me?"

"...Yes, you're Ethan."

Ethan smiled, "Last time I saw your aunt, she said you went back to China, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to call you."

Alice thought about how she had gone back to China, but then ended up leaving again, only to be caught and brought back on a plane.

"My uncle's wedding anniversary is today and I'm out of town, otherwise I could have seen you. But what are you doing here?"Ethan asked.

"...I'm looking for a job." Alice glanced at the front desk. "But I need to submit my resume first..."

Ethan thought for a moment, "Wait a minute..." and then took out his phone to make a call, not bothering to step away.

Alice was surprised by the conversation she overheard.

After the call ended, Ethan said, "You can go to the HR department now."

Alice immediately understood what was going on and didn't know what to say. She didn't expect to get such a reward. "I feel a bit embarrassed now."

Ethan laughed and raised his eyebrows, "I happen to know the boss, it's just a small favor."

Alice was very grateful, "Thank you!"

"It's been a few years, are we really that unfamiliar?" Ethan joked.

Alice felt uneasy. Ethan had helped her before when she was bullied by Adam in the Davis Family.

"Go inside now!" Ethan said.

"Okay." Alice didn't say anything extra and followed thereceptionist to the HR department.

Alice didn't have any medical knowledge. She didn't study that in college.

She had a purpose for coming to work.

So, after leaving the HR department, she headed to the doctor's office.

After signing a confidentiality agreement, she performed a restorative surgery.

It wasn't until she got off the operating table that she finally felt relieved.

But this was only a temporary problem that needed to be solved. Her real goal was to leave Yutian Garden and escape from Adam...

Afterwards, she hid in the bathroom and made a video call to her three children.

"Mommy, why haven't you called us recently?" Isaac looked very aggrieved, his face turning red.

"Mommy, do you have any interesting work?" Kevin asked expectantly.

"Mommy, when are you coming back?" Little daughter Lily cried."Mommy will come back as soon as possible, okay?" Alice's heart ached as she listened to her children crying.

But what could she do? She couldn't go back, and she was still controlled by their biological father.

How could she let them know about all of this?

Having three children behind Adam's back was already a big taboo...

After putting the children to sleep, Alice composed herself before returning to work.

There was a nurse who specifically took care of her and had her work as a nursing assistant, mainly doing postoperative cleaning work.

As the night fell and the lights came on, Alice finally left the plastic surgery hospital.

Standing on the roadside at the hospital entrance, she felt lost and timid. She didn't want to go back to Yudian Garden, but she had to...

A silver Porsche stopped in front of her, and Ethan's face appeared in the window. "Alice."

Alice was slightly stunned. "Want to have dinner together?" Ethan invited.

Alice hesitated for a moment, but still agreed. "Sure."

In a restaurant with an elegant style, soft music surrounded them. They chose a seat by the window, where they could see the bustling street outside.

"How did you adapt to work this afternoon?" Ethan asked.

"Pretty good, thank you."

"Alice, you don't need to thank me."

Alice smiled. "I didn't expect to run into you. It's a surprise. You helped me a lot, so let me treat you to this meal!"

"How about you treat me next time?"

In other words, they would meet again.

Alice knew that she couldn't get too close to Ethan, as it wouldn't benefit her. But she couldn't resist Ethan's tenderness for the moment, especially since he had helped her today.

"Okay."

"Are you graduating early?"

"I dropped out, so I chose to come back to China." Alice replied nonchalantly.

"Pretty good. But why aren't you working at Davis Family Company? I'm sure your aunt would help you," Ethan said.

Choosing a plastic surgery hospital was a bit unexpected.

"My aunt is my aunt, and I am me. I just want to rely on myself," Alice said.

"You're very different from other girls, I noticed that before," Ethan said, his eyes slightly deep as he looked at her.
