Chapter 1209: 632: Extra Story: The Little White Rabbit Can’t Escape (Part 1)

Chester Robinson turned his head, his deep-set eyes gazing at her beautiful face, "We once had two children."Alice was stunned.

The sky had darkened, and the lights on both sides of the road lit up at this moment, allowing her to clearly see his dark and handsome face.

There was a complex emotion in his gaze, and his eyes were very deep.

Alice lowered her eyes and said, "When the baby was over three months, the doctor told me I could only choose one."

"If I hadn’t accidentally remembered what you said to me when I was unconscious, I probably would never have known about this."

Alice swallowed the sudden bitterness that rose in her throat and said calmly, "Does it make any difference whether you know or not?"

Chester’s face turned sullen, "Do you think I wouldn’t care at all that you risked your life to give birth to Rachel?"

Indeed, as a gynecologist, Chester knew better than anyone how difficult it was for a patient with a bicornuate uterus to get pregnant, because their uterus is divided into two by a septum, making it narrow. At the time, Alice was carrying twins, and the doctor would definitely have advised Alice to abort the baby, knowing that a bicornuate uterus cannot support the gestation of twins. But Alice insisted on keeping both children until, at three months pregnant, her body could no longer bear it, and she followed the hospital’s advice to abort one baby. That wasn’t the most critical thing; the most critical thing was that when Alice was carrying Rachel, it was on the narrower side of the bicornuate uterus, which was extremely dangerous for her. If Chester, handling a regular pregnancy, encountered such a situation, he would have advised the patient to abort the child without hesitation.

Alice took a breath and smiled gently, saying in an almost relaxed tone, "The situation wasn’t as bad as you think, the doctor just recommended I abort one child."

Chester’s face turned stern, "I’m a doctor, I knew exactly what the situation was like back then."

Alice seemed as if she had been seen through, the feigned ease vanished from her face, and she lowered her eyes gloomily, "The doctor advised me there would be risks, but I thought I could have this child... and it turned out my choice was correct."

Chester said venomously, "Why didn’t you ever tell me?"

Alice met his dark gaze, "I thought about telling you after Rachel was born, but at the time you didn’t care about Rachel and me at all, so I thought..." Alice paused, "You probably wouldn’t care."

Bang――

Chester punched the car window.

The car window cracked from the impact, but fortunately, the glass was strong enough to only form a crack.

Alice was startled by him.

Chester suppressed his anger, looking coldly forward.

Alice gradually overcame her fear and looked at his cold profile, "Why are you so angry?"

"Do you really think I’m such an inhumane person?"

"I have never doubted your humanity; it’s precisely because I understand you that I knew if I told you about the hardships of my pregnancy, you might choose to stay with me out of your kind nature as a doctor, even if you didn’t love me... but at that time, what I wanted was never your sympathy and pity, since you didn’t love me, I wasn’t going to force you to take responsibility for Rachel and me."

Chester closed his eyes in agony. "It’s all my fault..."

Alice said, "Don’t say that, even if you knew about it back then and chose to be with me, I wouldn’t have agreed."

Chester’s voice was hoarse, "You were really foolish..."

The past her, carrying so much bitterness and grievances, yet bore it all alone.

Alice smiled faintly, "I’m not foolish, I’ve always known what I truly wanted."

Chester self-mockingly said, "You’re right, I really don’t deserve to have you anymore, I was such a bastard back then."

Alice shook her head, "Don’t say that... You’ve never hurt me; every choice was made by me."

Chester scoffed, "At this point, you’re still speaking for me."

Alice said, "I’m just looking at it objectively... You’re not wrong, just not in love with that person. I wasn’t wrong either, I was just striving hard for the happiness I wanted. But two people who don’t love each other are destined not to have a good outcome, and the person who loved ends up not getting the ending she desired, naturally is seen as the hurt one, pitied by the world. But in fact, the world shouldn’t blame the person who doesn’t love, because that person did nothing wrong, he was simply following his heart."

She spoke peacefully, as if narrating a story unrelated to her.

His heart ached sharply because of her acceptance and her rationality.

What kind of pain had she endured to achieve such calmness today?

The past him, had always been squandering her affection... He really was the world’s most foolish jerk.

"Mr. Robinson, there’s a car blocking ahead."

The driver’s voice broke the just restored silence in the carriage.

Alice looked up towards the front, and when she saw the person in the car opposite, she was momentarily stunned.

On the opposite car, Claud Laurence, a tall figure, stepped off. He looked at Alice.

Alice quickly opened the car door and got out.

She saw Claud Laurence’s gaze already met with Chester’s, who was sitting in the car.

Chester didn’t get out, he maintained eye contact with Claud Laurence, his face stern.

Claud Laurence glared at Chester fiercely, and after seeing Alice walking towards him, his gaze gradually softened. He stepped forward and embraced Alice, "Alice..." He wrapped his arms around Alice, holding her tightly.

Alice leaned on Claud Laurence’s shoulder, feeling momentarily disoriented.

Claud Laurence kissed Alice’s cheek, "Tell me, did he do anything to hurt you?"

She could feel two pairs of eyes watching her from behind.

She knew he was watching her, and he could hear the conversation between Claud Laurence and her.

"Tell me, did he bully you?" Claud Laurence’s voice was hoarse, filled with deep concern for her.

Alice shook her head.

Claud Laurence sighed in relief and said to her, "Go back to my car first, I’ll have a word with Chester."

In her peripheral vision, Alice could see Chester’s face growing darker.

Robin stepped forward and said, "Miss Robinson, please."

Alice hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Claud Laurence walked towards Chester’s car.

"Even if you hadn’t informed Keith Antony to tell me to pick up Alice, I would have found my way here to take Alice away today." In fact, Claud Laurence had been tracking Alice and Chester’s whereabouts these past few days. Even though Foam Island was very secluded, Claud Laurence still managed to find it; otherwise, he couldn’t have arrived here so quickly.
