Alice turned her face away, not wanting to look at Grace or Jensen.
After a long while, she said, "Sorry, I have to leave first."
After that, she left the ward.
Grace was very worried. Looking at Alice's retreating figure, she became more worried.
When Alice left, Grace immediately told Jensen, "Jensen, hurry and catch up with her. Alice is not only in a bad mood because of me, but also partly because of what happened between you two. Although I don't know what happened, I hope you can be more patient with her. She has been under a lot of pressure lately because of Sunny Group. Please."
Hearing Grace's words, Jensen nodded and said, "We are fine. The problem between Alice and me is not major. Don't worry. I'll go out and have a look. Mr. Yarbrough, I'll leave Grace to you."
"Okay, go ahead!" Timothy also said quickly, "Take good care of Alice." "Definitely." Alice's eyes were red when she came out of the ward, but she quickly wiped them away as she didn't want anyone to see her weakness.
She felt disappointed in herself. As soon as she saw Jensen, she couldn't help but lose her chill. She was full of chagrin and grievance.
This wasn't right.
The problem between the two of them could not be compared to Grace's.
She should've talked about the matter rationally, but Jensen's attitude did indeed make her upset.
She soon reached the nurse station and said directly, "Who is the doctor in charge of Grace Smith? I want to see him."
The nurse took a look at Alice and was probably shocked by her cold aura. She nodded subconsciously and said, "He's at the end of the corridor. The director's office."
"Thank you," Alice quickly walked towards the doctor's office.
Coincidentally, Jensen came out of the ward and saw her. He called out, "Alice."
Alice did not even look at him and continued ahead.
He had no choice but to step forward and grab her arm. "Wait a minute."
Alice's wrist felt a little painful from being held by his tight grip. She lowered her head to look at his hand.
As soon as Jensen saw her lowering her head, he followed her gaze and landed on her slender wrist.
She had gotten much thinner.
Her hand felt obviously slimmer than before. Alice had been busy ever since she took over the Sunny Group.
They barely had time for each other. At first, they lived at home, but later, they moved out. Alice even refused his mother's suggestion of having a family meal several times. Although Jensen also understood that Alice had her plates full since she had just taken over Sunny Group, he also hoped that Alice could enjoy her private life a little. However, she always said that she was busy.
This was the cause of their conflict. He had gone back home a few times for his meals. Sometimes, when he returned to Hart Villa District, Alice wouldn't come back until late at night.
The last time, she didn't even call Jensen when he decided not to come back.
And just like that, the tension between them grew silently.
"You've lost weight again," he said.
His voice was low and hoarse, with a slight tremor. It was obvious that his heart ached at the sight.
Alice was flustered for a while. Of course, she knew that she had lost weight.
