“Do you have any leads on the artificial heart?” Michael let go. “If not, go back p>
He turned and walked away.
Alice stood there, then angrily watched his back.
She had no leads; there weren’t many experts in the country who could perform artificial heart surgery. Lyle had only heard of
artificial hearts and had observed others’ surgeries.
The main issue was that the artificial heart supplier had to have a partnership with the hospital.
In other words, even if there were skilled doctors, without a supply source, the surgery couldn’t be done.
And the approval for artificial hearts was strict domestically, with even stricter checks on imported products, making it difficult to
get an artificial heart.
Alice took a deep breath and followed Michael upstairs.
A wave of powerlessness washed over her.
She was like a puppet with strings, but one that had gained self-awareness.
No matter what, she could only be toyed with by Michael.
When they reached the door, Michael just looked at her coldly, indicating for her to open the door.
Alice wanted to ask him to change the password.
But thinking that if he didn’t know how to change it, he would come to her, she dismissed the idea.
He could use it if he wanted; it was his house anyway.
Alice opened the door but didn’t go in. “Mr. Johnson, you can go home now p>
“Come in. Michael’s voice was devoid of any emotion, and he was still holding the bag with that donut.
Alice closed her eyes and reluctantly followed him in.
She then noticed some changes in the house.
The cushions on the sofa were similar to the previous ones, just with a different pattern.
And the sofa cover had been changed back to the original beige.

Alice was a bit surprised but quickly understood; Michael was someone who didn’t like change and was just used to the original
style.
Michael leaned tiredly on the sofa and tossed the donut on the table.
“Go cook,” Michael commanded.
Alice stood still. We can order takeout p>
Michael sneered, ‘I don’t have money for that p>
Alice was speechless; what kind of excuse was that?
She resignedly said, ‘I’ll treat you p>
“Then I want takeout from a three-star Michelin restaurant p>
“I’ll cook right away p>
Alice gave in; That would cost her half a month’s salary.
But when she opened the fridge, she found only some greens and eggs.
She reluctantly took out the pasta she had bought earlier and made a simple dish.
Ten minutes later, the pasta was served, and Michael was already seated.
“You eat this. Michael pushed the donut over.
Alice forced a smile. “No, thanks, I don’t like such sweet things p>
“Then why did you buy it for me? Eat it.” Michael started eating the pasta expressionlessly.
Alice sat across from him, watching him eat a large plate of pasta, even finishing the sauce, feeling a bit proud.
Her cooking skills had improved over the years.
Her mother used to say, “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach p>
But no matter how good her cooking was, she couldn’t reach his heart.
She didn’t care anymore; whoever wanted this damned man could have him.
Alice got up to clear the dishes and put them back in place.
She returned to the living room and looked at Michael. “Mr. Johnson, can we talk now p>

“Talk about what?” Michael seemed to have forgotten.
Alice was a bit annoyed. “The artificial heart p>
Michael raised an eyebrow. “I don’t remember p>
He was toying with her again!
Alice clenched her fists in anger, then grabbed her bag and walked to the door. “Then I’ll be leaving p>
