4564 The Other Side 533
“I… I wanted to tell you too, but…”
Gong Jie looked back at him. “Did she stop you from doing so?”
“Uh huh.”
“The silly woman!” He pounded the table in anger. “Why the hell did she do this?”
!!“She was trying to save you.”
“…”
“She didn’t know that she’d lose her fertility because of this experiment.” After a pause, he continued, “But I think that if she could choose all over again, she’d still choose the same, even if she knew it would cost her her fertility! Because…”
Gong Jie’s lips curled into a smile. “She likes me.”
“You know it?”
“If I didn’t, I wouldn’t be Gong Jie.”
It was just that all this time, he had pretended not to know. He had also tried to make it clear, but as Alice had never confessed, he was in no position to assume. He even felt that he had gone overboard, given that even though Alice had never expressed it, he rejected her cruelly nevertheless. Alice had never said anything, possibly because she already knew that he had no feelings for her.
Actually, Alice and Gong Jie were both smart individuals. And smart people could see through each other’s intentions from their words and actions. If the two of them had liked each other but did not confess their feelings, it would have made them idiots.
But two people who admire each other are probably like magnets. No matter what comes between them, their admiration for each other will draw them closer.
As for the two people who do not love each other, even if one of them approached the other, the other party will only retreat step by step and drift away.
Hence, Alice could tell that Gong Jie did not like her. He could not have been more explicit. How could she not be sensible?
Hence, she did not tell Gong Jie about this because she did not want this matter to become a burden to him. Alice had always thought that if the man was not destined to be her life mate, then she would treat him like family. She could protect him.
After all, love turns into kinship at some point.
She didn’t want to be an obstruction to him. When she found out that Gong Jie liked Hua Jin, she really gloated over the unfortunate situation. This was her own little selfishness. If the man she liked did not like her because he liked a man, then she still had a little leeway to comfort herself.
Gong Jie sat down at the table with a solemn expression. “She didn’t tell me because she didn’t want me to carry a sense of gratitude towards her.”
“That’s right.” The actor rested his chin on his hand. “She doesn’t want you to know, but I think it’s her duty to tell you, and you have a right to know, isn’t that so?”
“Thank you.” The man finally heaved a sigh of relief after learning the truth from Hua Jin.
…
When Alice returned to the ward after patrolling the corridor outside, she saw that Gong Jie was alone in the room.
She was surprised. “Where did the guy go?”
Gong Jie looked up at her intently. “Come here.”
“Uh…” She walked over hesitantly, the corner of her lips twitching. Gong Jie’s serious expression made her even more uncomfortable.
“What’s… what’s up?”
The man stood up and took a few steps towards her. “Let me ask you, did you lose your fertility because of me?”
Alice froze on the spot when she heard this, as if she had been struck by lightning.
“You…”
“I know everything. If Hua Jin Hadn’t told me about this, how long are you planning to hide it from me?”
“He… actually told you about this?!”
