Chapter 65: Despicable Methods
On it is: Alice Roberts, because you have been sued by victims of the clinic, the clinic will be closed down and temporarily suspended because of the safety issues. In other words, her clinic can't operate now. She's being brought to court. After giving her the list, the police urge her to leave the clinic, which will then be closed. The words of the police allow no refusal. Alice Roberts doesn't want to resist, so she just walks out of the clinic and watches as the door of the clinic is locked. Her eyes are astringent while her heart aches. Except for Janet Louis, who had tried to hurt her children a few years ago, and Joanna Hale who's always wanted her to leave Edward Smith, she cannot think of anyone else who would have such a deep hatred for her. She had never expected that they would use such despicable methods.
She'd already told them that she wasn't entangled with Edward Smith, but they hadn't believed her. They still wanted to remove her. But she would see if it was tolerable. How do they create such things out of thin air! She hadn't done any of those things, and feared what they would do to her. She returns home with a depressed mood, and cleans the house.
She then goes to buy enough vegetables to make a delicious dinner for Rebecca and Albert. Her two babies are sharp and very clever, and she fears that they will find out what happened at the clinic. But how long will she be able to hide it. But then it happens to be that with no work, she will be able to spend more time with Rebecca and Albert.
"Oh dear." Alice Roberts says with a sigh. She feels useless as a mommy. Not only is she unable to provide a good live for Rebecca and Albert, but they also have to know about such things at their young age. Faced with such things, she feels very incompetent. After finishing lunch, Alice Roberts cleans up the house and goes to buy several of Rebecca and Albert's favorite dishes. It is already afternoon, and Alice Roberts goes to personally pick up Rebecca and Albert from school. When she arrives, she patiently waits for them. She doesn't notice that a rare black car stops at the side of the road.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
The man in the car narrows his eyes at Alice Roberts. He had been preparing to get out of the car, but stopped and instead quietly looks at her. Soon after, the school bell rings, and a group of five or six-year-old children happily jump out of the school. Like Alice Roberts, many other parents are waiting to pick up their child.
The man watches Alice Roberts as she looks at the school. After a while, he spots two familiar figures among the rest of the children, who are smiling brightly as they notice Alice Roberts. They hurry to her, and talk about something that he has no idea about. Watching the scene, the man can't help but want to exit the car and join them. But the warm and bright smiles of the three gradually disappears from the man's sight. With no one else near the school gate, he takes out his mobile phone and dials a number. "Check for me how Alice Roberts clinic is doing these days."
"Alright, President. I will send you a message once I have the information." The person on the other side of the line meticulously replies. Hanging up the phone, a mirror catches his cool and handsome face. Who else could it be than Edward Smith? He hasn't been in touch with Alice Roberts since she was expelled from the hospital, and had opened a private clinic. He'd wanted to get close to her by using the two children. He'd found out which kindergarten they attended, and had come to pick them up. But the two never paid him any attention, and always turned around and left. Recently, he hadn't seen Alice Roberts personally pick up the kids. So why did she do that today?
It had made Albert and Rebecca Roberts very happy when they saw that their mother had come to pick them up. Together they laughed all the way home. Alice Roberts thinks that she is hiding what has happened very well, but unbeknownst to her, Albert and Rebecca both sensed something wrong with her. When they arrive at home, Alice Roberts rewards the two by cooking a table full of food. Sitting at the table, Albert and Rebecca look at her figure before looking at each other.
"Mommy, let me help you!" Rebecca says as she runs into the kitchen and starts following her like a little tail. She wants to help with the dishes but is too short to reach.
"Rebecca, go sit with your brother. Mommy will be ready soon." Alice Roberts says with a gentle smile as she reaches out and touches Rebecca's head, steering her towards the dining table. To her surprise, Rebecca doesn't go, and they are joined by Albert. Before Alice Roberts turns around, Albert is standing in front of her.
"Mommy, why did you cook so many dishes today? We won't be able to finish them all. Is uncle going to visit us for dinner? Is that why mommy made so many dishes?"
Rebecca and Albert both follow behind Alice Roberts. They clearly know that Alice Roberts has problems with Edward Smith, so are they deliberately saying this? "Mommy, there's enough food for us to eat. Shall we have the rest tomorrow? This will be enough for today."
When Rebecca had first seen Alice Roberts today, she'd known that it was not normal for her mother to personally pick them up. She turns and pulls Alice Roberts clothes. "Okay, Okay. Go and sit down at the table. Mommy will be there in a minute." Alice Roberts says as she helplessly shakes her head and her mouth twitches in a smile.
Rebecca is so considerate, caring about other people and cherishing food. It seems like she is wasting a lot of food by cooking too much of it. When she brings the last dish to the table, Alice Roberts sits down, and puts food on their plates. Looking at Rebecca and Albert, she asks them, "Has anyone at school bullied you today? Are there any classmates who bully you?"☐☐☐☐☐
