Chapter 203
Michael stood up and extended his hand, and Alice immediately helped him put on his coat.
She knew she just has to please him for now, and she could only get the information she needed by pleasing him.
Michael glanced at her chest. Perhaps because she was nervous, her nipples were protruding, faintly visible under the shirt.
“After resting for two months, you only gained weight, not brains? You didn’t look into these things p>
Alice wanted to retort, but she still said, “Thank you for telling me this p>
She turned around to leave the walk-in closet, having learned everything she wanted to know, and they owed each other nothing.
The cost of an artificial heart is very high, requiring a team of experts for surgery, and the subsequent anti-rejection drugs are also
expensive.
Michael’s tone was indifferent, revealing no emotion. “Do you have the money to treat your mother p>
Alice’s steps halted, but she understood his meaning. He wanted her to go back.
Previously, she thought it was just Serafina and Vaughn wanting her to go back to work as a spy.
Now it seemed although the Johnson family’s thoughts were different, their purpose was the same: they wanted her to go back as a
secretary.
But she was unwilling.
She turned around and looked at Michael coldly. “Mr. Johnson, don’t stop me from finding a job, and I can afford my mother’s
medical expenses p>
She had that confidence.
After working at the Johnson Group for ten years, as long as Michael didn’t blacklist her, she could definitely reach a high position, and her salary would naturally be substantial.
Michael suddenly leaned forward, pinning her against the wall, looking down at her.
“Alice, I told you, you are mine, and you can forget about running away p>
The light in the walk-in closet cast a shadow over his head, making his features look even more profound and dangerous.
He pinched Alice’s chin. “Do you think I would let you go p>
Alice forcefully pulled his hand away. “You told me about the artificial heart because you feel guilty, right p>

Chapter 203
She stared into Michael’s eyes. My mother was good to you. We had no money, but she made soup for you when you worked late
and cooked for you. One year, when you had a stomachache, my mother went out in the middle of the night to buy you medicine.
She said i owed you, that you were a good person p>
“You know, she is the good person. You took the good person’s heart for your father-in-law, and now you feel guilty, so you told me
about the artificial heart, didn’t you p>
Alice was convinced.
Michael wasn’t a bad person to the core. He took her, not just giving her money but also buying insurance for her mother, and she
was grateful for that.
The heart was taken, and he found out about these things, which showed he cared.
She had been with Michael for so many years, and while she might not see him clearly in terms of feelings, she understood him in
some ways.
Alice didn’t think he looked into the artificial heart out of boredom.
In the past two months, she had consulted other doctors, and Aurora’s father’s condition was indeed very critical and sudden,
beyond anyone’s control.
At that time, Michael couldn’t have had the time to look into the artificial heart.
It could only be that he investigated it for Ivy.
But that wasn’t enough to make Alice go back. She didn’t want to return to his side.
“I said, the heart issue has nothing to do with me, Michael said through gritted teeth.
“I don’t believe you.” Alice looked at him quietly, expressionless, but her eyes were full of resentment.
They stared at each other for a minute before Alice turned and left the walk-in closet.
She really couldn’t stay with Michael for another moment.
