Alice cracked her knuckles and suddenly looked up. Her expression was firm, as if she’d made a great decision. “Since you can’t bear to part with Youyou,” she said with determination, “I’ll come over and stay with Hua Jin, if he doesn’t mind. On the one hand, I can take care of Natalia and observe her. On the other hand, I’ll be able to monitor Youyou’s condition. That way, mother and son won’t be separated. What do you think?”
Hua Jin and Yun Shishi listened in disbelief. Yun Shishi, in particular, found it hard to believe that Alice would leave everything in Hurricane behind, and come here to take care of Natalia.
“What … what about your work at Hurricane? What will happen to it?”
“What else can we do? I’ll have to run things on both sides. Otherwise, I don’t feel at ease with Natalia’s and Youyou’s situation. This is the only thing I can do.” Alice said it casually.
Yun Shishi had learned from her brother, Alice was young, but she had achievements that far surpassed most people of her age. As a result, she had a rather onerous portfolio in Hurricane. Would she be willing to drop everything to take care of Natalia and Youyou?
!!Yun Shishi felt a twinge of guilt.
The actor hesitated. “Are you sure? I hear you’ve got a busy job. You can’t go back and forth all the time, can you?”
“It’s okay.” Alice let out a long sigh. “Actually, I can understand Shishi. After all, she has been traumatized by my hypnotism work. She’s afraid to take the risk, and I understand that. And while I also understand you, I’m still surprised. You’ve developed a strong bond with Natalia in a relatively short time.”
The actor smiled sheepishly at that. He said helplessly, “I just… felt sorry for her, that’s all. I wanted to give her a good childhood. At least, she should not be spending all her time in a hospital.”
A hint of warmth developed in Alice’s expression when she heard that, but she couldn’t help teasing, “Did Gong Jie threaten you? Is that why you’re so cautious? You’re afraid Gong Jie will blame you if you don’t take good care of Natalia.”
“Uh…” The actor hesitated for a long moment before admitting, “Well… there’s that reason. Gong Jie said he’d kill me if I didn’t take good care of Natalia.”
Whoosh…
It was as if a chilling wind had blown past. Alice and Yun Shishi looked at each other for a long, awkward moment.
They were almost moved by the father-daughter relationship between Hua Jin and Natalia. Now it seemed… Gong Jie’s threat worked better!
It was obvious that to the actor, Gong Jie was like a demon king. Despite the fear he had, he treated Gong Jie’s words as imperial edicts.
Alice resisted the urge to laugh. “Are you… so afraid of him?” she asked curiously.
“Er… not exactly afraid.” The actor spoke cautiously.
“What is it then?”
She and Alice spoke almost in unison.
The actor’s response was a well-considered one. “Well… I suppose it’s respect!”
Respect…
The word almost made Yun Shishi burst into uncontrollable giggles.
It was too funny to use the word “respect”!
Alice tried not to laugh. “He’s… a bit bossy, but he’s been like that since he was a kid,” she said helplessly. “Still, you don’t have to be so scared, do you?! He’s not a tiger. He won’t eat you. Hmm?”
