One Birth Two Treasures: The Billionaire’s Sweet Love

4565 The Other Side 534

Alice’s tone was not one of anger, but a sense of helplessness.

The actor had actually “betrayed” her, after all her efforts to keep things under wraps. She really did not want Gong Jie to know about this. After all, this was her one-sided decision, and he was not responsible for it.

“Shouldn’t I know the whole story?” Gong Jie was unimpressed. “Why did you do that?”

“I don’t know. I did it subconsciously.” Alice said, “At that time, I had a brain seizure, so…”

“I want the truth!”

“Because…” Alice shrugged and said in a 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.” Her intentions were that simple.

When you like someone, you probably want the best for that person. Actually, it was not selflessness. It was purely… wanting the best for him. That was all.

Alice hurriedly said, “I didn’t mean to hide it from you. I just didn’t want to give you any psychological burden and make you feel guilty about this.”

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?”

“Won’t you?”

“I won’t!”

Alice actually heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good! It’s not a big deal.” The weight on her heart was finally lifted. She was relieved to hear that.

Looking at her relieved expression, for some reason, Gong Jie felt like crying. He was just saying those words out of anger. However, he did not expect Alice’s relieved expression to make him feel upset.

He took a deep breath. “Don’t let things like this happen again.”

“Sure. I hope there won’t be a next time. Although it’s not a big deal, the fact is I’d be half-dead after that.”

The man finally could not take it anymore. His heart ached so much that he pulled Alice into his arms. His voice was slightly hoarse. “You should have told me about this earlier!”

Alice sensed his slightly trembling shoulders and could not bear to see him like this. “If I had known earlier that Hua Jin’s such a big mouth… Forget it. I had originally planned to keep this a secret from you, but since you already know…”

What’s done cannot be undone.

Helpless, she rubbed the back of his head. “You’d still blame yourself for this, wouldn’t you?”

The man remained silent.

Alice asked again, “Do you know why I never told you?”

The man did not speak.

“Because…” Alice said flatly, “I don’t want you to think of me as a benefactor and feel grateful and guilty towards me.”

“You should have told me!”

“What’s the point of telling you?” Alice shrugged. “Would my body return to how it was before if I had told you? Or will I let you live with gratitude and guilt towards me for the rest of your life? There’s no need for that. It’s not worth it.”

“It’s worth it!” The man smirked. “At the very least, I’ll know who saved my life.”

“Wow, should I be touched on hearing this? But…” Alice was compelled to say, “Was that the only time I saved you?”

Gong Jie looked bewildered and was stumped.

“I had saved you so many times before, but you didn’t seem to show your gratitude much.” Alice said aggrievedly, “You’re always mean towards me with your words.”
