She smiled occasionally, feeling happy for the warmth that Nicholas' family created.Especially when Alan, Nicholas' father came and joined them.Alan and Emma talked a lot, inviting Alicia to join in the pleasant small talk. Nicholas' parents didn't discuss Alicia's past, or the things that offended her during their time together."You should try this, Alicia," Emma said, cutting off a piece of chicken breast and placing it on Alicia's plate. "Chicken breast is high in protein. It's very good for your body.""Okay, Emma. Thank you."Emma pointed at Nicholas who was sitting opposite her while squinting.

CHAPTER 94Brittany tapped Alicia on the shoulder. She realized something was wrong with her best friend. "What's wrong, Alicia? Are you uncomfortable? Are you seeing someone you know?"Alicia blinked. She gasped and immediately turned around. Smiling awkwardly, the girl opened her mouth. "I kind of saw-"But Alicia didn't finish her sentence. She considered talking about Ace in front of Kevin. They weren't very close, so Alicia felt reluctant to discuss it."Seeing who, Alicia?"Brittany scanned the surroundings. Of all the people huddled around, there was no one that Brittany was sure of. Alicia looked at Kevin for a moment, then turned to Brittany again and replied, "No, forget it. I just saw it wrong."Kevin then commented. "I want to take Brittany to lunch at a steakhouse. Would you like to join us, Alicia?"Brittany sulked, shaking Alicia's arm, which was wrapped in a long T-shirt. "You have to come, Alicia.

CHAPTER 96Brittany was checking her phone to upload some pictures of her graduation on Facebook and Instagram, when suddenly Kevin got into the car and sat behind the steering wheel."Oh my God, you scared me!"Brittany's loud voice made Kevin angry. He turned his head and frowned, glaring at Brittany. "You shouldn't talk that loud, Britt!"This was the first time Kevin had raised his voice in front of Brittany.

CHAPTER 98In the midst of despair, Alicia heard a familiar voice enter her ears."Alicia!"Alicia's vision had begun to blur. Her breathing was labored. She was losing a lot of oxygen due to the smoke that filled the room. Her vision was only filled with gray. She struggled to open her eyes as her body fell to the floor, right next to her mother's body which was also lying there."Help!" Alicia's voice began to fade. She reached out, then muttered, "Please save us."Before Alicia completely lost consciousness.****After some time had passed, Nicholas removed the mask covering his face and entered the emergency room at the hospital. He walked over to Alicia who was lying there weakly, along with a senior doctor named Harris.

CHAPTER 100And Alicia jumped off the building.Unfortunately, the grim reaper didn't want her dead that day. One strong hand grabbed Alicia and pulled her so hard that she opened her eyes in surprise and lost her balance. Her weak body was carried away by the pull of the man's hand and she fell right into the man's arms.And that man was Nicholas.They stared in silence, before Nicholas finally used both hands to hug Alicia tighter."Nic..."Alicia's cries were faintly heard as the girl hid her face inside Nicholas' broad chest. And Nicholas could only exhale, taking in everything that had just happened.****The funeral of Alicia's adoptive parents was private. This was Alicia's request and Nicholas helped the girl realize her wish.
