Both of us have been too busy. Earlier, his mom even invited me over for dinner, but I was in a hurry to come see you, so I had to decline. I swear it’s true.” Alice looked completely sincere, without a trace of deception.
She was indeed telling the truth. She had met Serafina, who had invited her to dinner.
The truth was that she and Michael had never been in a romantic relationship.
But now, there was no need to explain.
Upon hearing Alice’s words, Ivy finally felt relieved.
She knew that Michael’s family was well-off. As long as the Johnson family approved of Alice, there would be no obstacles for the
two of them to be together.
Ivy nodded. “That’s good. After all, he’s your boss, and it’s normal for him to be busy with work p>
Seeing her mother’s expression soften, Alice also breathed a sigh of relief.
She really wasn’t good at lying in front of her mother; she always felt guilty.
In fact, Michael hadn’t visited Ivy much in the past two years. Alice thought she should find an opportunity to tell her mother that
they had amicably broken up.
But it seemed she had to wait until her mother’s condition improved; otherwise, she would worry excessively
“Mom, I’m going to buy some milk. Once you’ve had some, you can rest early. I’ll stay with you tonight p>
Alice got up and left the hospital room, finally letting out a long breath.
There was no milk left in the vending machine on her floor, so she had to go to the lobby on the first floor.
Alice bought two bottles of milk and a coffee, wondering whether she should start looking for a job out of town.
The chances of finding a job here were too low. What if Vaughn didn’t speak up for her? She needed to have a backup plan.
Given her mother’s current condition, what would happen if she was not in the city and something went wrong?
Maybe she should find a job out of town and take her mother with her.
Lost in thought, Alice stood in front of the vending machine for a long time, motionless.
At this moment, two people behind her were staring at her.

Chapter 148
They were Rodolfo and Michael.

Rodolfo had developed a stomachache after drinking earlier and dragged Michael to the hospital with him.
Unexpectedly, they saw Alice as soon as they arrived.
“Is that Alice?” Rodolfo was surprised and then turned to Michael. “Glenn said you left her on that island. What were you thinking? I
told you that was going too far. Now she’s ended up in the hospital p>
Rodolfo patted Michael’s shoulder, signaling him to look over there.
Michael glanced over coldly. Alice was wearing a T-shirt and jeans, with her hair casually tied in a ponytail, looking somewhat
fragile.
Even from this distance, he could see the faint hickeys on her body.
Alice’s skin had always been like that- reddening at the slightest touch but returning to its smooth, unmarked state within a
few days.
Rodolfo sighed, “Alice really is beautiful. She usually looks like a reserved office lady, but now she looks like a young college
student. Look! Someone’s hitting on her p>
A male doctor suddenly appeared next to Alice, looking a bit embarrassed as he asked, “Excuse me, do you have a dollar? I’m short a
dollar.
“A dollar?” Alice rummaged through her pockets and actually found a coin. “Here you go p>
The doctor thanked her politely and then bought a coffee.
He took out his phone. ‘Sorry, let me pay you back p>
“No need, don’t worry about it. Alice shook her head. A dollar wasn’t worth the trouble of sending a transfer.
She turned to leave, but the doctor stopped her. “How about adding me on WhatsApp so I can pay you back p>
