Chapter 4566 The Other Side 535

“That’s different!”

“Alright already. I know.” Alice sighed helplessly. “If you really want to be grateful to me, just live well and happily.”

The man was stunned.

“Are you thinking I’m being so selfless?” Alice snorted playfully. “I’m not. I only hope that you can be happy, and at least lead a peaceful life. I hope you and Hua Jin will live happily, live life to the fullest. And that would make my efforts all worthwhile!”

!!
Upon hearing this, Gong Jie chuckled helplessly and finally felt a sense of relief.

“Yes, I will.”

“That’s good then.” Alice asked finally, “Is there anything else?!”

The man looked at her silently.

Alice really couldn’t stand that unfathomable look in his eyes. She felt awkward and inexplicably sad. She quickly said, “If there’s nothing else, I’m going.”

With that, she turned and fled the room. Once she was far away from the room, she leaned against the wall in the corridor and heaved a sigh of relief. Her eyes were bloodshot.

If she had been more selfish, she would definitely have taken the opportunity to confess to him when he questioned her about this matter. She would have said, “I like you. I love you. It’s because I love you so much that I risked everything to save you, even at the expense of my fertility.” Or, “Since I’ve sacrificed so much to save you, are you going to take responsibility for me?”

She could have used this matter to take credit and ask for rewards, but she could not bring herself to do that.

As a doctor, she could not make any mistakes in the surgery. Any mistake in the slightest detail would lead to unpredictable consequences. It was the same for love. A little less, and it wouldn’t be love. A one-sided liking was not called liking either.

She might as well go with what he desired.

Actually, things she said, like “I’d rather Gong Jie like a man than a woman” were not really words from the bottom of her heart. She was just saying it for Hua Jin to hear.

The fact?

She knew better than anyone else that Gong Jie liked a man purely because Hua Jin happened to be one. He did not exclusively like men. It was even more impossible for her to ask him to return her love just because she had made so many sacrifices for him.

Treating someone well is a voluntary act, and it is the same for loving someone.

Except…

The words “But I really do love you…” almost slipped out.

Alice covered her mouth tightly. For the first time in her life, her emotions of wanting to cry overcame her rationality. Tears flowed from her eyes.

Hua Jin happened to pass by and vaguely saw Alice leaning against the wall, covering her mouth and biting her knuckles as if she was crying. He walked towards her anxiously. When he got closer, he realized that the woman was really crying…

“What’s… what’s wrong?”

Hearing his voice, Alice looked up and glared at him. “You betrayed me!”

“Eh?”

“Why did you tell Gong Jie all those things?!” Alice said angrily, “He found out about it and came looking for me.”

“I told him.” Hua Jin continued matter-of-factly, “I think he should know about this. He has every right to know. Why can’t he be told?”

“Traitor!” Alice bristled as she glared at him.

“…”
