Alice didn't sound angry. Instead, she sounded powerless and helpless.
She had been 'betrayed' by Hua Jin despite trying so hard.
She really didn't want Gong Jie to know about this matter.
After all, this was a one-sided decision that she had made. Gong Jie wasn't responsible for it.
"Shouldn't I know the cause and effect of this matter?"
Gong Jie didn't think much of it. "Why did you do that?"
"I don't know. I just did it subconsciously."
Alice said, "At that time, it was also a spur of the moment. So …"
"I want to hear the truth!"
"Because …"
Alice shrugged and said in a very relaxed tone, "Because … I like you! I like you so much that as long as you're alive, I'm willing to pay any price. "
She was such a simple-minded person.
Liking someone probably meant that she wanted him to be good.
Actually, this wasn't selflessness.
It was just purely …
She wanted him to be good.
That was all.
Alice hurriedly said, "I didn't mean to hide it from you. I just didn't want to burden you and make you feel guilty because of this matter."
Gong Jie said angrily, "Do you think I'm worried about you? Or do you think I'll blame myself and feel guilty towards you because of this matter? "
"You won't?"
"Of course not!"
Alice actually heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good then! It's not a big deal anyway. "
She was finally able to put down the huge rock in her heart. She was really relieved to hear that from her brother.
Gong Jie looked at her relieved expression and, for some reason, felt tears welling up in his eyes.
Earlier on, he had just said those words out of anger.
However, he didn't expect that Alice's relieved expression would make him feel bad.
Gong Jie took a deep breath and said, "This kind of thing can't happen again."
"Okay. I also hope that there won't be a next time. Although it's not a big deal, it still took half of my life. "
Gong Jie finally couldn't hold it in anymore. His heart ached so much that he pulled Alice into his embrace. His throat was already slightly hoarse, "You should have told me about this earlier!"
Alice noticed that his shoulders were trembling slightly, and she couldn't bear to see him like this.
"If I had known that Hua Jin's mouth wouldn't be reliable … Forget it. I had originally planned to keep this matter from you even if I were to die. But since you already know … "
Spilled water could not be retrieved.
Alice rubbed the back of his head helplessly. "Gong Jie, you still blame yourself for this, right?"
Gong Jie did not say anything.
Alice asked again, "Do you know why I never told you?"
Gong Jie was still speechless.
"Because …" Alice said faintly, "I don't want you to treat me as your benefactor and feel grateful and guilty towards me."
"You should have told me!"
"What's the point of telling you?"
Alice shrugged. "Don't tell me that if I told you, my body would return to how it used to be? Or would I let you live the rest of your life with gratitude and guilt towards me? There's no need for that. It's not worth it. "
"It's worth it!"
His lips curled into a smile. "At the very least, I'll know who saved my life."
"Wow, after hearing that, shouldn't I be a little touched? But … "Alice finally couldn't help but say," Is this the only time I saved you? "
Gong Jie was speechless.
"Previously, I saved you so many times, but you didn't seem to thank me much."
