Chapter 127: A Good Husband
But...... Looking back, it doesn't seem surprising that he would have done so.
"I'm sorry." Alice feels sorry to Randall, because she thinks he helps her a lot, so she doesn't want to be too desperate to him, "I have decided to marry someone else, so sorry, I cannot promise you." "Marry?"
Randall confuses, asks, "Is it Edward?"
"No!" Alice replies without thinking.
She answers so quickly that Randall stuns. He finds that Alice looks so disappointed and feels painful, "Who is that?"
Alice bites her lip and doesn't want to answer.
"You even don't want to tell who you are going to marry to. In that case, I won't give up easily." Randall says deliberately.
"Mr. Collins, you're so outstanding, there are so many women who want to be with you, you don't have to waste your time on me, really."
"But I have been liking you since the first time I saw you." Randall says it in a playful tone and he feels funny when watching Alice is startled. He thinks she is so cute that he can help but reach out for her to tidy the hair in front of her.
Alice turns her head away and says seriously, "Mr. Collins, if you do that again, I'll get out of the car."
"Well, there is ample time."
Randall shrugs, restarts the car, and is determined to get her.
"Mommy!"
Two babies see that Alice comes back safely, are excited and rush into her arms. Even Roberts, who is usually very serious, pulls Alice and doesn't want let her go.
All the family members get together, Alice looks at the babies carefully, to make sure that they are fine when she isn't by their sides, then looks at Frank gratefully, "Thank you!"
Frank feels diffident and grabs his hair, shakes his head and smiles, "I really didn't do anything, they are very well-behaved."
That is true. The two babies are very obedient, they go to the hospital to look after Jack during daytime and goes to bed by themselves after dinner about. They are as sensible as adults and he doesn't need to worry about anything. Frank is a little sad for they are too sensible.
Then now, when he is watching that the two babies are so happy to see Alice again, he seems to understand something.
She only has time to ask Frank about Jack's illness after comforting the two babies and putting them to sleep.
"Jack is fine now, but the doctor said that it's not easy for his limbs to recovery. After all, he has passed the best time for growth."
In other words, he is not a teenager anymore. It's because that he has great perseverance that he can survive after suffering such a great torture. When hearing Frank's words, Alice is more self-blame, now she is safe, but Jack can only lie in the hospital bed, "I go to the hospital to see him." "It's... it's late."
Frank wants to stop her, but finds Alice has gone outside the door. And he remembers that Jack, who is in the hospital now, has been worried about her, he holds back what he is going to say and warns her something. The he holds the two sleeping children to the house.
Private Hospital, Ward 207.
The whole hospital is very quiet as it becomes dark. The ward, which seems if lightly disinfected water, makes people feel upset. However, when the man in it see the person sitting next to him, he is very happy with a sunny smile.
Although he can't speak, the joy in his eyes makes her want to cry.
She knows that beside her mother, there is only the man in front of her will protect her and wait for her without asking for anything in return.
"It's settled, don't worry." Alice's crisp voice sounds in the empty ward. Because the ward that Edward prepares for him is a VIP ward, there are they two in the ward.
Hearing that, Jack shows a relaxed look, nods. Then he seems to think of something, he frowns and wants to say something. But when he opens his mouth, he finds he can't say a word, and then he looks very sad.
"They won't bother me again." Alice takes the initiative to reach out and hold Jack. After getting along with him for so many years, Alice can easily understand what Jack wants to ask.
Sure enough, Jack nods when hearing her words. Although the tendons of his hands and feet are broken, he can see Alice holding his hand and feels the warmth spreads to the limbs. Then he, a man who is very calm, blushes like a big boy, clear and simple. Contrary to Jack's joy, Alice feels very painful as she can't help but think of Edward to marry Joanna.
Jack is not stupid, since he knows that Alice is very upset, he is very anxious and worried.
Alice lifts her slightly moist eyes, finds Jack's eyes full of concern, pounces in his arms, "Jack, let's get married."
Let's get married.
Jack is stiff, let Alice hold him, the feeling in his arms is so real, but he feels like a dream, because this kind of picture can only be achieved in the dream.
"Jack, let's get married and live abroad, take my mother with us, OK?" Alice continues, burying her head on Jack's shoulder. Her voice is light, but clearly reaches his ears.
Like firework rises to the sky, out of the gorgeous pattern, he grins excitedly like a child and wants to shout up. Then as the cold moist liquid dropping into his neck, he feels like falling into a glacier, and it's extremely cold...
He wants to nod because it is something he dreams of. But... she doesn't love him and she doesn't want to be with him, otherwise, why she sheds tears?
It is the same as five years ago, she agreed his proposal just but because she wanted to escape, didn't she?
Jack tries to say something but he can't.
He moans in a hoarse voice. Although he can't say a complete word, Alice understands that he is asking her what happens.
She blinks desperately to hold back her tears, secretly wipes the tears off, sits by the bed, pretends to smile brilliantly, says, "I'm all right, just know something clearly now, Jack, we have been together for a few years, and my children also like you, I also want to have a home, so, let's get married, OK?"
Anyway, Edward is going to marry Joanna, and she should also cut off her retreat and be with Jack, take care of him and live a quiet life.
Jack will be a good husband, as well as a good father, won't he?☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
