Chapter 2313
"Henrick, let's go back." The doctor's words were still echoing in Alice's mind, that it was a possibility unknown if Henrick's hand would ever recover.
She had asked the doctor privately, only to be proffered with the words that his recovery was not guaranteed.
It also depended on his future circumstances.
In the past few days, she hadn't thought much of it when she saw that Henrick didn't care. The moment she went out and spotted his sad and lonely look, she realized a problem: Henrick was just pretending to be indifferent in front of them. In a place where they couldn't see, he cared.
Smiling, Henrick said, "Allie, before we go back, I want to confirm one thing with you."
Alice suddenly looked at him nervously. "What... is it?"
Henrick smiled gently and asked, "Allie, can we date?"
It was not because he had proved something, but because he really liked her.
He thought, "I've been wandering around for many years. It's time for me to make a decision."
He would live a peaceful life with his child and beloved.
Alice was speechless. Why did he suddenly ask such a childish question?
Weren't they, she mulled, already in a relationship recently?
"Henrick, aren't you chasing me now? I go on dates with you. If we're not dating, then what are we doing?" Alice said shyly and lowered her head, not daring to hold his burning gaze.
Henrick suddenly stood up, walked over, and hugged her with his fine hand. Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he said in surprise, "Allie, thank you!"
He let go of Alice and congratulated her with a smile. "Miss Alice, congratulations, you're now in a relationship."
Alice was instantly amused by him. She parroted him by way of reply, "Mr. Alwynn, congratulations, you're now in a relationship!"
He laughed. "Our Allie is so cute!" If it weren't for the inconvenience of his hands, he would have held her in his arms three times to relieve the joy in his heart.
"Allie, come on, let's take a photo together."
Henrick took out his phone and leaned his head against Alice, recording this wonderful and exciting moment.
He clicked on the button and finally got a few photos.
Speaking of which, this was the first time he and Alice had taken a photo together.
Alice was equally excited. This was the first time she and Henrick had taken a photo together.
After taking the photos, Alice sent the good-looking ones to her mobile phone.
Henrick held her phone and asked with an evil smile, "Allie, now that we've already confirmed our relationship, may I kiss you in the future?"
Alice looked at him in silence.
Who would explain their intentions so clearly?
He had kissed her despite not acquiring her consent before. Indeed, nothing could beat a shameless man!
Sometimes, she felt that he was really stupid and adorable. She totally dig it!
"No." She stamped her feet and went back to her room to pick up her bag. Then she turned around and walked to the door.
Henrick followed behind her with a smile, his mood ever so pleasant.
It was one thing for him to woo Alice, but it was another thing for her to agree to it.
After solving the crux of his worry, Henrick looked down at his limp hand. As long as there was nothing wrong with this hand, everything would be well.
Carson Harris was Kenneth's classmate at a university abroad, but the two of them chose a different profession.
But it didn't affect their becoming good friends.
He was 1.8 meters tall, wearing a dark suit and a pair of golden-framed glasses. The lines from his eyebrows to his nose were like carvings. His jaw was perfect and delicate. His eye shape was long and sharp. When he looked at someone, there was a trace of desire in his eyes.
When Josue brought him in, Alice only had a feeling that he was handsome, nay, too handsome!
His handsomeness - roguish and devilish - was different from Henrick's.
Carson was cold, cool, seductive, and sensuous.
Alice suddenly thought of Henrick's eldest brother, Kenneth, who had been devoid of emotion since he was a child. Only when he saw Eden would he smile.
She knew then that birds of a feather flock together.
Henrick seemed to have sensed Alice's gaze. Feeling a little sour, he took a step in front of her and greeted Carson with a smile.
"Hello, Dr. Harris!"
Carson smiled faintly and looked at Henrick. Although the two brothers looked exactly the same, their temperaments were completely different.
"Hello, Mr. Henrick, I'm a friend of Kenneth." Carson introduced himself in a nice voice.
"Let's dispense with the formalities, Dr. Harris. Since you're my brother's friend, just drop the mister."
Carson called out, "Henrick."
They sat down in the living room. Henrick introduced her with a smile. "Meet my girlfriend, Alice Klein."
Perhaps it was because of his possessiveness, or perhaps it was because Alice's gaze on Carson was too focused and fiery, he wanted to seriously introduce his girlfriend.
Carson looked at Alice and smiled. "Hello, Miss Klein!"
Alice smiled and said, "Hello, Dr. Harris. Your long journey must have been tiring. Sit down and have some coffee first." Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
"Don't mind if I do." Carson sat down elegantly; the servant served coffee. He was a little tired, so he picked it up and gulped it down without hesitation. He also ate a few peeled apples.
Henrick would occasionally chat with him about his brother Kenneth.
Only then did he realize that Carson and Kenneth were college classmates.
Therefore, he was a little jealous of Carson, who also possessed an extraordinary talent to enter the only elite university in the world, just like his brother.
Back then, he'd also had a chance because his siblings were equally outstanding. However, their hobbies were different and they did not like closed-off management.
"I didn't expect Dr. Harris to graduate from one of the best universities in the world. Looks like there's hope for my arm."
At the same time, his heart sank. He still remembered what his brother had said. Carson had said that the chances weren't looking too good, and it would take a long time for his hand to be cured.
Carson looked at his injured arm. His expression did not change much, but he said lightly, "I will try my best to help your hand recover."
"Your brother said that as long as I can cure you, he will invest in the project I want to study. Even if your hand is incapacitated, I will try my best to cure you." There was finally a trace of firmness and enthusiasm for certain affairs in the calm eyes of the man.
Alice's heart ached as she asked nervously, "Dr. Harris, is the injury on his hand in a bad condition right now?"
Hearing this, Henrick smiled and said, "Allie, don't worry."
"Why don't you go pick Juliet up first? Her piano class is about to end."
Alice looked down at him, her tone harsh as she said, "Why do I feel like you're trying to drive me away?"
Henrick broke into a grin. Seeing that she was so sensitive, he wondered if he had accidentally revealed some of his emotions in the hotel during the day and led her into thinking this way.
