All the small pieces had been taken out. Isaac asked Alaina to put some iodine on his palm again and cover it with an antiseptic dressing, "Now you only need to bandage it." Alaina nodded, took out the gauze roll and began to bandage the wound. Her movements were very light, and she was skilled. She bandaged the wound in a clean and tidyway, and it was not messy at all. In the end, she paused and looked at the small part of gauze in front of her. She simply pulled it over and made a random knot. Looking at what she had made, Alaina breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay now." As soon as she looked up, she saw Isaac looking straight at her. Her eyes were so intense. It seemed that there were many emotions in his eyes. Alaina's heart skipped a beat as she quickly lowered her head, "What's... wrong? Did I do anything wrong?" Isaac looked at his own hand, "No, you did a good job." He was too close to her, so she could smell the pleasant smell
Alaina lay on the bed, holding the quilt tightly with both hands. At the end of May, the weather was really hot in A City. It was not cold in such a late night. However, Alaina didn't think so. Although she was covered with a quilt, she felt cold. That kind of coldness came from the bottom of her heart, and the quilt didn't make her feel warm at all. She had been lying here for almost two hours, but she didn't feel sleepy. Just now... She and he almost... But fortunately, he let her go in the end. Otherwise, she would be... Thinking of what had happened, she felt that it was like a dream. Although Isaac had emphasized many times that he would not change his mind, she held a little hope that he was joking. However, things had become like this. How could she still think so? She had lost all her hope. He had made up his mind. Although he let her go just now, the fact that he wanted to keep her by his side was real. Otherwise... s
Alaina slept late at night. Later, she fell asleep when she was very sleepy. Therefore, it was almost nine o'clock in the morning when she woke up. She was shocked at first, and then was relieved. It was better for her to get up late. In that case, she would not have to face Isaac. However... she didn't know what had happened to Avon. She grabbed her phone and had a look, but it had automatically turned off because it was out of juice. She sighed and put it down. She went to the bathroom to wash up simply. The toiletries inside were complete, and she could even see that some of them were brand new. However, she didn't use them. She rinsed her mouth with water and wiped the corners of her eyes with a napkin before returning to the room. She leaned against the door and listened for a while. After she was sure that she was the only one in the house, she opened the door at ease. She was a little hungry, so she had to fill her stomach w
When Alaina returned to Aria's house, it was almost noon. It only took her 40 minutes to go back by taxi, but she was afraid that Isaac would follow her secretly, so she made a detour after getting off the car. "Mom, why didn't you come back yesterday?" When Arvis saw Alaina, he held her tightly and refused to let go of her. His eyes were a little swollen, and it seemed that he had cried. Alaina felt sad, but she didn't ask anything. She just hugged Arvis and thanked Aria. "You don't need to thank me." Aria sighed, "Well..." She looked at Arvis, "Why don't you go over there and watch TV? I want to talk to your mom, okay?" Arvis was not very willing, but Alaina nodded to him. Although he was reluctant to leave Alaina, he went to the living room obediently. "Mrs. Liu, do you... have anything to say to me?" Aria was not in a hurry to speak, but pulled Alaina to her room and closed the door, by the way. Alaina couldn't figure out what A
Coming out of Aria's room, Alaina looked at Arvis who was watching cartoons, and her heart ached a lot. Arvis had never left her since he was born. Last night, she left him. In a very long time in the future, she could not stay with him. So, how could she feel well? However, she had no choice. In order to make Avon and Arvis live a more peaceful life, she had to leave temporarily. In the future... she could only think of a way slowly. "Mom, why do you stand there?" Arvis looked at Alaina, jumped from the sofa, and ran over to hold her hand. "Mom, watch TV together with me. It is so funny." Alaina forced a smile, "Arvis, I don't want to watch TV now." Arvis paused. "Then what do you want to do? I can accompany you." Hearing this, Alaina felt even more grieved. She blinked and tears almost came out her eyes. She turned her head in a hurry. She took two deep breaths before she turned to Arvis. "Can I... talk to you for a while?" "Alrig
Elroye stayed in the ward for a whole day, and his stomach growled. He became more and more irritated. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon, but Alaina hadn't sent him food yet! How dared she! Just now, he was really hungry, so he asked the nurse to order a takeout for him. After having a bite, he spat it out. It was so unpleasant to eat that even a dog would dislike it. Avon had gone back to school, and one of his friends told him this news. What? Didn't she send him meals just because Avon had gone back to school? Did she forget what he said before? Did she go against him immediately? How could she be like this? He didn't know what was wrong with him. Didn't he just eat two meals made by the strange-dressed woman? He even felt that the food in the restaurant was so unpleasant to eat. What the hell? He really suspected that Alaina had put something addictive in his food. Picking up the phone, he wanted to call Alaina, but he di
"Are you Miss Alaina?" Alaina opened the door with the key which Isaac had given her. A middle-aged woman who was about fifty years old ran out of the kitchen and greeted her politely. Alaina was stunned for a moment and quickly lowered her head, not wanting her to see her awkward face, "Mm." The middle-aged woman took the bag from Alaina's hand with a smile, "Hello, Miss Alaina, I am the nanny hired by Mr. Bai. My name is Leola Fang. If you don't mind, you can just call me Leola. I will take care of your daily life in the future." Alaina didn't say anything. She couldn't even say something to greet her. Facing Leola who was enthusiastic, she knew that she should say something. But, what should she say? She was not the owner of this house. To put it bluntly, her current status might be humbler than Leola's. Isaac wanted her to live here. Nothing had happened between them, but... she would at least be a mistress if he forced her to sleep with h
"Avon!" The coach stopped Avon with a stern look on his face. Avon lowered his head and walked to him, "Coach..." "Look at your performance just now! You're quite talented, but why did you run so slowly?" The coach's tone was a bit harsh. He continued to scold Avon loudly, "Don't you know how to run anymore because you've been idle outside for several days? Look at how lazy you were when you were running! Do you want me to teach you?" "..." At this time, there were some people on the sports ground, and some people were training together with him. Hearing the coach's rebuke, many people looked over. Avon was very embarrassed, but he couldn't say anything to defend himself. After all, he didn't run fast indeed. He had been so worried because he couldn't get through to Alaina for the whole night. This morning, Alaina didn't call him. Instead, he received a phone call from the school and was told that he could come back to study. This was a piece o
