Second Marriage

Chapter 481 Where is Your Pride?

Back home, Alice went directly to the kitchen and cook porridge.

She thought that in such a state of injury, Kennedy would have to eat something light.

And she was thinking how he should sleep with his back injured. He could not lie down, or giving

pressure on the wound would only make it worse.

Should he sleep on his stomach?

At the thought that a tall figure shrank in a small hospital bed, lying helplessly, Alice could not help but

felt it funny.

After a few laughs, Alice felt he was miserable right now. If it hadn't been for her, his back wouldn't

have been hurt like that, and it was probably her, not him, lying there.

Besides, if it were not him, her face and body would have been...

It was horrible. Alice dare not think about it, but cooked porridge and fill an insulation barrel with it. After

that, she cooked a few light dishes.

Her skills were good. She could cook, but she did not cook these years, because Yanis' cooking skill

was much better than hers. Jack liked the food Yanis cook, so when they lived together, it was basically

Yanis cooked.

It had been years she had not cooked, but she was still good at it.

After that, carrying the insulation barrel, she was ready to go out.

As soon as she walked out of the kitchen, she met Zain with a cold face.

In the face of Zain’s sharp eyes, Alice hid her insulation barrel, trying to avoid Zain's line of sight.

But it was not useful. How could Zain not know what she wanted to do?

So it was pointless to hide it.

Thinking of that, Alice had to stand and then looked at Zain.

“Brother.”

In any case, she had to greet him.

Zain pursed his thin lips and looked at her coldly. “You still know I am your brother?”

Alice, “Why not?”

“Who hurt you five years ago? Have you forgotten about it?” Zain stared at her sharply, “Five years

have passed, and you have forgotten all this? And now you still go to him? Alice, where is your pride?”

“... What do you think I should do? He protected me and now he's in the hospital with wound. If it wasn't

him, I'd be lying there right now, and you'd be bringing me food. And even so, are you going to stop

me?”

Zain, “Do you know, if it wasn’t him, there would be no one trying to hurt you? If you are close to him, it

will happen again. He could protect you once, can he protect you twice or for a life?”

Hearing that, Alice’s face slightly changed. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“I don't want to think about it now. I don't have any other thoughts about him. Even if it was just a

stranger instead of him who protected me, I should go to the hospital to take care of him.

Zain stared at her, “Are you sure you have no feelings for him? Can you promise me that you won't be

with him again?”

“Yes, I promise.” Alice nodded, “I never wanted to be with him again, so don't worry. And I want to tell

you, whether I'm with him or not, it's my own business and I'm capable of dealing with it.”

Zain came over and put his hands on her shoulders.

“I don't want to bother you. You are now my sister. I don't want you to go through the same mistakes as

before, do you understand?”

“I understand, of course I do. But I'm not a child. Can you understand me? I want to decide my own life,

not to be controlled. I don't want to live a life that was arranged by others.”

Zain fixed her eyes on her, silent, and then turned away.

She did not know whether Zain understood her or not, but she did not want to think about it now.

Carrying the insulation barrel, she walked away in a hurry.

Zain walked to the corner, looked at that figure leaving with gloom in his eyes.

Standing behind him, Yanis said in a soft voice, “Mr. Nelson, don't get angry, Alice is softhearted, no

matter who saved her, she will go to take care of him. She went to the hospital not because of who that

person is, but what he did.”

After she kissed Zain, Yanis had avoided Zain for a long time. When she called him, she had

summoned up courage and faltered in speaking. But after showing up in front of him for several times,

Yanis found herself less nervous now.

It was just a kiss, not a big deal.

‘You've never been in love, what is the big deal I kissed you?’

Well, he would not be touched because of the kiss, right? If he really had a crush on her...

It was a good thing.

Thinking of that, Yanis was proud.

He was not young, and time waited for no one, so she had to cherish him, or he would grow older in a

few years!

As she was thinking, Zain looked towards her. Yanis shivered and those thoughts in brain disappeared.

She bit her lower lip. “Well... What I said is true, I have known Alice for a long time, so...”

As she bit her lower lip, Zain recalled what had happened that day.

She came and kissed him. No one had ever done such a thing to him, so it affected him for a long time,

and even appeared in his dreams at night.

Yanis shivered by his eyes and subconsciously took back a step.

“Well...... If you don't think I'm right, then I, then I... shall go.”

With that, she was to turn around.

Zain called out to her, “You.”

Yanis paused, turned around and pointed at oneself, “Me?”

“Yes.” Zain's eyes fell steadily on her face, and finally moved to her lips.

His eyes were bright, Yanis felt it at a stroke. She instantly felt her face burning and said shyly, “What is

it?”

Zain did not speak, but took two steps forward, with his breath of composure coming over.

Yanis was flushed and she strode back.

“What, what are you doing? Stay away from me!”

With that, she turned and ran!!
