Chapter 25: So you want me to come up and personally drag you

Alice raised her teary eyes and said, "I...I have menstrual cramps. It's really uncomfortable..."

Claire saw her holding her stomach and asked, "Is it that serious? Do you need to take a day off and go to the hospital?"

Another colleague, Zhang Luo, sneered behind them, "How ridiculous! Just because of menstrual cramps, do you have to take a day off? I also have menstrual cramps, did you see me taking a day off?"

"Hey, why are you talking like that?" Claire lowered her voice and frowned.

"Did I say something wrong? Every woman has menstrual cramps, do they all take a day off?" Zhang Luo retorted.

"Can't you see how serious she is?" Claire retorted.

"She won't die!" Zhang Luo retorted.

Alice knew that Claire had a good relationship with the former supervisor who fired her, so she must be unhappy with her.

She leaned against the wall and stood up from the ground with difficulty, "I'm fine..." After speaking, she left the restroom.Of course, she didn't really have menstrual cramps, but she had to say so.

The plastic surgery hospital was controlled by Adam. She was sure that if she took a day off, someone would find out about it right away.

Just like when she was fired, Adam called her within 12 hours.

So in this situation, even if she had a passport and ID card, she might not be able to leave Star City.

However, now that her daughter was seriously ill, she really wanted to escape regardless of the risk of being caught by Adam.

Even if it meant taking a risk.

Alice's work seemed normal, but only she knew how anxious she was inside.

After waiting for only half an hour, she hurried to the restroom to call Aunt Charlotte.

It took a while for her to answer.

Every second of waiting was so unbearable.

"Aunt Charlotte, how is the child?" Alice asked.

"Just arrived at the hospital..." Aunt Charlotte's voice wasbreathless.

Alice propped up her weak forehead with one hand. "It will be okay. When Lily stabilizes, please call me." She didn't know if she was comforting Aunt Charlotte or herself.

Her heart and brain were about to separate.

"Okay..."

Aunt Charlotte knew how anxious Alice was, so instead of calling, she sent Alice text messages every once in a while.

-"The child has stopped convulsing and is receiving an IV."

-"The IV is finished and the child's fever has gone down."

-"I asked the nurse to watch the child for me. I'm going back to check on Isaac and Kevin and bring them over."

-"Isaac and Kevin woke up and couldn't see me. They ran out barefoot in the elevator, but luckily I came back in time."

-"Alice, when can you come back?"

What kind of feeling is it to be a mother? Alice's heart was in agony, and she hid in the restroom, crying silently.

She dared not make a sound, and could only bite her arm tightly with her teeth.Her skin was almost bitten through! When is she coming back? No, she must come back! Alice calmed herself down and replied, "Half a month, I will definitely come back!"

Lily, who lay on the sickbed like a porcelain doll, had a fever and her chubby baby face was flushed, covered by a small pile of blankets. The first thing she said when she opened her watery beautiful eyes was, "Mommy..." However, she only saw Grandma Charlotte and her brothers by her bedside.

"Don't be afraid, brother will accompany you!" Isaac gently touched Lily's face with his chubby little hand.

"Sickness will fly away, and sister will be better soon!" Kevin held Lily's hand and hugged it with his own little hand.

"Mm..." Lily couldn't see her mother and wanted to cry, but she held it back, her little mouth pursed, feeling very wronged. "Mommy, when are you coming back?"

"Grandma said it will take half a month!" Isaac said.

"How many days is that, sister?" Kevin asked.

Lily weakly replied, "Ten... fifteen days."

"Yes! Let's wait for Mommy to come back together!" Isaac raised his little fist to cheer everyone up."Today is the first day!" Kevin said.

"There are still fourteen days, it's so long..." Lily said.

Aunt Charlotte held their chubby little hands and said, "Let's wait together. Mommy will definitely come back. Mommy is working hard over there, so we should work hard together, okay?"

"Okay!"

Alice was restless all day, her heart always worrying about her child, even though Aunt Charlotte said the child had stabilized.

As a mother, how could she not worry when she couldn't be with her sick child?

When her child was healthy, she could still remain calm even if she wasn't by their side. But if they were sick, could she not cry?

Normally, when her child fell down, she would feel heartbroken for a long time, let alone when they were sick...

As soon as she got home, Alice immediately wanted to video call Aunt Charlotte.

However, as soon as she dialed the phone, she hung up as if she had been scared.

Could she make a video call?Could she stay calm when she saw her child, or when her child saw her?

Would she lose her mind and go back to her child, only to be discovered by Adam?

She worried about her child, but she was also afraid that Adam would take her child away!

Alice sat on the ground in pain, covering her feverish eyes.

She hated Adam, she hated him so much!

Her phone, which was placed beside her, rang and it was a text message.

She picked it up and opened it. It was from Adam, with only two words: Come down.

"Come down... Adam's car is outside the community," the command was given in an irresistible tone, which made her extremely disgusted.

Alice grabbed her phone and threw it out, but it only bounced twice on the sofa and landed in the corner. It seemed to be her most helpless stubbornness.

However, after three seconds of stubbornness, she picked up the phone again and replied, "I don't want to go out now, maybe next time!"

Adam saw the message and his face turned gloomy. Who gave her the courage? He called her directly.

Alice answered the call, suppressing her emotions. "I'm tired from work and don't want to go out..."

"So you want me to come up and find you?" Adam didn't care about her at all.

Alice definitely didn't want him to do that, it wasn't a question, it was a threat!

"Give you three minutes!" After speaking, Adam hung up the phone directly.

Alice composed herself and forced herself to deal with the terrible Adam.

The bodyguard opened the car door, and the powerful aura inside overwhelmed Alice, pressing down heavily on her.

She nervously glanced at the dark figure and climbed into the car, sitting in the seat.

The car door closed, and the car left the community.

"Where are we going?" Alice asked.Adam gave her a cold glance and didn't intend to tell her.

It was a messy bar again.

Entering the private room, there were men and women inside.

When they saw Adam, they all stood up.

It was clear that everyone present knew Adam's identity. "Mr. Davis!" exclaimed one of the men. "We thought some beauty had caught Mr. Davis's eye and he wouldn't be able to make it."

Naturally, they all noticed the pretty and clean girl standing behind Adam. As a man of his stature, Adam could never be short of female company.

"How could I disappoint Mr. Zhao when he's in such high spirits? I couldn't possibly let him down," Adam replied nonchalantly.

Mr. Zhao laughed heartily. "Come, come, we've been waiting for you!"

Adam sat down on the sofa, leaned back lazily and coldly looked at Alice, who stood there unsure of what to do. "Go and keep Mr. Zhao company."
