Chapter 193
Alice drank too much and slept like a log.
She usually accompanied Michael to social events, and her alcohol tolerance was actually quite good.
Not to mention drinking several cans of beer, even if she drank one or two cases, she could still stay sober.
But yesterday, she got drunk and couldn’t even remember what she had done. She woke up groggy the next morning and then fel
back asleep.
Yesterday, Mira’s mom had to leave suddenly and bought a lot of supplements for her, and then Mira sent her off that night.
Allan wanted her to stay at his place, but she was worried about Alice and came back in the middle of the night.
When she returned, Uriah was sitting by Alice’s bed, wiping her forehead with a wet towel.
Seeing Mira return, Uriah finally left.
And this morning, Uriah came back again.
Mira was still not fully awake and was a bit surprised to see Uriah. Mr. Savage, do you need something this early p>
She glanced at Alice’s room. “She should still be asleep p>
Otherwise, Alice would have made breakfast for her.
Uriah nodded. “I know she drank too much yesterday. Don’t wake her up. I bought some things and will make breakfast for you p>
Mira instinctively stepped aside to let him in.
Watching Uriah skillfully start preparing the ingredients, Mira understood that he wasn’t making breakfast for the two of them; he was clearly here to make breakfast for Alice.
Looking at the gentle and homely Uriah, and then thinking of Michael, Mira suddenly understood what it meant by “Without comparison, there’s no harm p>
Obviously, Uriah was more suitable for dating and marriage.
As for Michael, that jerk should stay far away.
She thought for a moment and decided to give Alice and Uriah some alone time.
Mira quickly packed up and was ready to leave with her bag.

“Mr. Savage, I have an important meeting today, so I won’t have breakfast. You and Alice enjoy it. I’m leaving now p>
Uriah, cooking soup in the kitchen, just nodded at her.
He didn’t stay in the apartment; he just finished making all the breakfast and left it in the kitchen.
He quietly opened the bedroom door and saw Alice still sleeping.
Her hair was messy, her face was flushed, and her brows were relaxed. She looked like she was sleeping soundly.
Uriah didn’t disturb her. He left a note and then left the apartment.
On his way back, his phone rang.
Is she okay?” The voice on the other end was low, seemingly embarrassed.
Thinking about almost making a mistake yesterday, Uriah felt a bit guilty. “She’s fine p>
The other person was silent for a moment. “I’ll handle the situation online. You don’t need to intervene p>
After saying that, the other person quickly hung up.
Uriah exhaled and silently looked at the unmarked caller ID.
He was originally taking care of Alice for a friend, but now it seemed he had developed feelings for her.
It didn’t seem right.
Meanwhile, Alice was still sound asleep. It wasn’t until noon, when her stomach growled, that she finally got up.
The apartment was empty, but the smell of food lingered.
Seeing the note on the table, Alice was slightly surprised.
It was a note from Uriah, telling her to heat up the food before eating and to call him if she still felt unwell.
Alice walked into the kitchen and saw the sumptuous breakfast was freshly made, not bought. She suddenly felt touched.
It seemed like years since she had eaten breakfast made by someone else, instead, she had always been the one making breakfast for
Michael.
She took out her phone and sent Uriah a “thank you, but the usually quick-to-reply Uriah didn’t respond this time.
Alice didn’t mind. Uriah was a CEO; he couldn’t be around her all the time.
After eating, it was already 1 PM. She then changed clothes and went to find Lucy.

Daryl was still in custody, and she had a plan.
Seeing her, Lucy was slightly surprised. ‘Ms. Baker, what brings you here p>
“I wanted to ask you something.” Alice awkwardly began. I spoke with the hospital leadership. They are concerned about online
public opinion and seem unwilling to settle with us. Can I issue a statement online? If we can garner public sympathy, could we
pressure the hospital into not pursuing responsibility p>
“Inducing public opinion is problematic. Are you planning to directly accuse the hospital of corruption and stealing the heart? Lugy
shook her head. “Without concrete evidence, this would be inciting public opinion and slander, which is illegal p>
Alice sent the prepared statement to Lucy. “Ms. Kim, could you please review my statement? I’ve carefully considered the wording. The hospital indeed has violations, and we are the disadvantaged party. If you think it’s okay, I’ll post it tonight p>
I’ve contacted some media friends I previously worked with. They’re willing to use this wave of internet traffic to attract followers
and help me promote it, which should help shift public opinion p>
Lucy looked at her strangely. “Ms. Baker, you have dark circles under your eyes. Did you come to see me right after waking up p>
Alice nodded.
“Then you haven’t seen the online situation yet. Your statement is no longer needed. Check it yourself; public opinion has already
shifted p>
Lucy had other clients, so Alice left the office.
She took out her phone to check the online public opinion and was stunned.
The hospital had issued a statement?
Two hours ago, the hospital had posted a statement on its official account, elaborating on the entire situation.
The hospital acknowledged that their mistake resulted in Alice’s mom being rushed into the operating room, with the heart
intended for her being given to another patient.
The hospital didn’t immediately notify Daryl, who only saw the patient being pushed out again, leading to their emotional outburst.
The hospital officially explained their platform’s algorithm and system, but due to the sudden incident, the family couldn’t accept it,
resulting in extreme behavior.
The hospital apologized not only to the patient and family but also to the medical staff.
With the hospital’s statement, netizens began to sympathize with Alice’s family.
If my mom was pushed into the operating room and then told the heart was given to someone else, I would break down too p>

[How can the hospital do this? They almost cut her open p>
[No wonder they were so emotional. It’s completely understandable, not the medical disturbance the internet claimed p>
[Is the hospital just apologizing? I heard the patient had another episode and only has six months to live p>
Alice looked at the reversed comments, momentarily lost.
She had been thinking about how to guide public opinion to help, but the hospital suddenly compromised.
How was this possible?
She kept scrolling through Twitter and other platforms. The hospital’s statement was trending, clearly manipulated behind the
scenes.
Alice could only think of one name-Michael.
