Chapter 2: The dizzying thing

Alexander was initially prepared, but his tears came instantly upon seeing the reply.

With foggy eyes, he felt like his whole body was going to suffocate. Breathing became difficult. Every breath felt like being pricked by needles.

"Alexander? Aren't you going to meet your boyfriend? Why did you come back here?" An eye-catching limited edition Lamborghini pulled up to the curb, and Henry Dawson stuck half his head out of the car and shouted at Alexander.

Henry had a tall, straight nose with thin lips. The corners of his mouth had a distinctive style. He was incomparable, arrogant, and honorable, as if the world had surrendered under his feet.

At the age of 24, he inherited his family business and became the President of the Dawson Group. A man like this would seemingly not be supposed to hang out with a group of playboys like Lucas.

However, since Henry bought the villa behind the Bennett Family Villa, he has been hanging out with Lucas' group several times.

Alexander didn't know where he offended Henry, but the man hated him. He didn't make threats, but he deliberately wanted to annoy him.

Sometimes, Alexander didn't understand. Even if he offended him, a high-level businessman who manages tens of thousands of people can't keep being sneaky like this!

'Maybe this is fate.' Alexander thought.

Some fall in love at first sight, and some hate each other at first sight.

Alexander quickly wiped away his tears. Three people were in the sports car, all Lucas' best friends. They were all children of wealthy families.

Henry sat in the front passenger seat, his sharp gaze radiating condescending contempt.

"I heard you went out to meet your boyfriend? Where is he? There's no way he dumped you!" They all faced Alexander, the smiles on their faces growing brighter.

Alexander tried to calm himself down as he replied, "No, we're fine."

Sitting in the back seat, Samuel burst out laughing and stood up.

"Bro Henry, have you heard? I told you that she wouldn't tell the truth."

"His boyfriend clearly left to flirt with someone else. He's still trying to say that they're okay?"

The driver, Arthur Brooks, was very polite. He pursed his lips and said nothing.

Henry opened the car door and got out, "You really have a thick face to say that. I don't want to hit your face because I feel sorry for you." After speaking, Henry took his mobile phone out of his pocket and placed it in front of Alexander's face. "Take a good look."

It was like a photo sent to his circle of friends.

In the photo, John shows off his charming face. While holding a fork containing a piece of meat, he very affectionately gives it to the person next to him. In the photo, half of John's body rises from the chair. Stretching his long arms and his whole body leaning forward, he is almost lying on the table.

In the corner of the photo was a sentence.

[Alexander's boyfriend pushed him away. He insisted on taking me to dinner. What happened?]

Below this was a comment.

[Of course, because he likes you! Because you're rich! Hahaha]

[Bro your charm is too strong, Alexander's boyfriend you've taken]

[Please have mercy on Alexander for a while, hahaha]

[He deserves that hahaha]

Alexander was already seeing clearly, his eyes a little blurry.

Henry smiled, "What's wrong? You don't look stupid, how could you possibly interact with this man for eight years?"

"Looking at you, you have developed embarrassing behaviour. How pathetic and disgusting."

Alexander raised his head sharply, his eyes still red, "I like annoying men like this. This is none of President Dawson's business!"

"You do? Then you deserve to be cheated."

"Yes," Alexander replied with a single word, portraying such weakness and firmness.

When he looked at Henry carefully, his whole body suddenly straightened up. It was like the vibrant youth of his teenage years who resisted defeat.

"You-" Henry was a little dumbfounded,

"Bro Henry, don't talk nonsense to him. Get in the car, let this young master teach him a good lesson." Samuel shouted from the backseat.

"Destroying himself is enough, now he's also dragging Lucas and won't admit his mistake. He really needs a lesson." Samuel said angrily.

Alexander didn't speak and bit his lip. He looked at Henry with bulging eyes.

"Teach him a lesson? Don't joke around; you're wasting my time." Henry finished speaking, turned around, and went back to the car.

Arthur turned his head, "Don't tease Alexander anymore, he's already very heartbroken." He was a very educated man with a gentle and kind face. Even his two thick eyebrows looked soft like waves. He always seemed smiling, like a crescent moon rising in the night sky.

"He deserves it, he doesn't want to change his stubbornness." Henry said coldly.

Arthur shook his head, "Alexander, there's no bus here, do you want me to take you?"

Samuel said, "Arthur, where do you want him to sit? I don't want to sit with him at the back."

"Thank you, Young Master Brooks, but I want to go alone," Alexander said softly.

"Fortunately, you still have some knowledge of your position," Samuel said with satisfaction.

Arthur nodded his head again, "Then we leave first." After Arthur finished speaking, the sports car immediately left.

Alexander felt like he had just been skinned. He remembered that he still had two days off; today, there was no need to go to the Bennett family villa.

He had worked for the Bennett family for ten years, so coming there felt more familiar than going home.

Alexander sighed, turned around, and started walking back. This was the villa area, and there was no bus, so he had to return to the bus stop.

At that moment, his mobile phone rang.

Alexander's heart still held a glimmer of hope, but he was disappointed again when he saw that the person calling was his younger sister Naomi's number.

Alexander still picked up the phone, "Naomi, what's wrong?"

"Brother, it's a big problem. Mum's illness has relapsed and she's been hospitalized again."

"Which hospital? I'll be there soon."

Alexander didn't even have time to mourn his broken heart over his mother's condition.

*

The three children of the Carter family were all present. Alexander was the eldest, Noah was the second son, and Naomi was the youngest daughter.

Dr Harris asked them to enter his office and become acquainted with all the acquaintances so I could say it directly. Lucy's condition at this time is very serious, so a third operation must be performed."

Naomi started crying, "Brother, what should we do?"

Alexander hugged her, "No problem, I can still take care of it."

Dr Harris coughed, "When I first performed the surgery 10 years ago, I told you that your mother's disease cannot be completely cured even with surgery. After the surgery, she still needs a lot of medication. We also have to face the possibility of the disease recurring at any time."

"This is already the third relapse, the cost of the surgery this time is estimated to be around 300,000 dollars. After this surgery, the medicine she needs this time is more in quantity and more expensive. And the time before the next relapse may be shorter." There was a pause before the doctor continued, "It may need another surgery in 2-3 years."

"We'll do it! We have to save mum, we absolutely cannot let mum die," Naomi said as she burst into tears.

Dr Harris lifted his glasses and sighed, "Then what about the money? It's a huge expense."

All eyes were on Alexander. He felt a chill run through his body.

Dr Harris: "You guys discuss this for a while; your mother's time is short. Besides the surgery, there's the cost of further treatment and medicines. It's better to prepare about 350,000."

Dr Harris left the room, and only the three siblings remained.

Naomi said agitatedly, "Why aren't any of you talking? Mum is still waiting for our help. Are you just going to watch her die without help?"

Noah, who heard that, was a little angry and said, "Why are you shouting? Who would want to let mum die? But the medical expenses are so big, how can we afford it?"

Naomi had just graduated and hadn't found a job yet. Noah had graduated and was already working, but his monthly salary was only 1,500 dollars.

Naomi's gaze fell on Alexander, "Brother, we'll rely on you."

"It won't work," Noah said. Brother has borrowed almost a million dollars from the Bennett family so far. He's been working for the Bennett family for 10 years. How much longer do you want him to be a servant?"

"How can he be a maid in the Bennett Family? That's his aunt's house."

Alexander suddenly stood up, "Don't fight."

"For money, I'll find a solution."

"Brother, don't make things difficult for yourself."

"We've proven your ability. You're not mum's biological child, you've done enough."

Naomi shouted angrily, "Brother Noah, are you crazy? What are you talking about? Mum raised him, without a mum, would he be able to live until now?"

"He's already paid quite a lot for our family these past few years!"

"So, we just let our mum die?"
