Chapter 101 Luke Wind almost stumbled , his hand flying to his chest .
( Alice ) , what are you saying ? Im saying Im cutting you off .
I hate how you always act like youre doing whats best for me , dictating my life , she spat , her voice tight with anger .
Alice had never used the words cutting you off before ; shed only wanted to get away .
I should have said this sooner , so youd stop acting like my older brother , interfering in everything and pretending its all for my own good .
Its sickening ! Her eyes were cold , glacial .
She hadnt planned on unleashing this venom as she left the family , but theyd pushed her too far .
Luke Wind gasped , his voice shaking .
Alice , I never thought you hated me , hated the whole .
family , so much ! Yes , now you get it , she retorted .
He looked up at her , pleading .
Ill take that as you being upset .
That school nurse , if he had any guts , wouldve taken responsibility and gone to the hospital to apologize himself ! Youre taking this way too far ! she snapped .
So , will you come to the hospital with me now ? Alice glared at her brother one last time before hailing a cab .
She tried calling Jack , but he didnt answer .
A memory from her past life flickered a similar situation with Garrett , where the other party was pressured by the Garrett family to apologize .
Garrett had then humiliated and beaten the guy .
Rage boiled inside her .
She texted Jack : Where are His reply came instantly : At the hospital .
his car , my way She called immediately .Jack , dont go in yet .
Wait for me outside .
Im on Youre coming too ? Jacks voice , slightly gruff , came through the phone .
Hed just gotten out of frown etching itself onto his face .
That victory dinner was quick .
Dont change the subject .
Wait until I get there , she said , and hung up .
Jack looked at his phone , then at the imposing hospital building .
Garrett Gator Casey pulled up and parked .
Little Lemon called you ? Yeah , she wants me to wait outside .
Little Lemons protective , huh ? Luke Wind had contacted Jack earlier , but the threats from the Wind family were meaningless to them .
Their presence at the hospital was solely to deal with Garrett , primarily Luke Wind taking care of his little brother .
Jack stood at the hospital entrance .
You go in .
Ill wait for her .
Alright , Ill make it quick .
Gator strode into the hospital , heading straight for Garretts high end private room .
Garrett was.
lounging in bed , bandages still on , being pampered by Chloe Qin .
Chloe whispered softly , Garrett , when Alice and the others come to apologize , give my brother a break , okay ? Alices still family , after all .
Chapter 101 I know .
As long as Alice shows genuine remorse , I can let it slide .
But that broke ass nurse boyfriend of hers ? Hes gonna pay ! Garretts voice was louder than he intended , a sharp intake of breath escaping him as the pain in his ribs flared .
A smug glint appeared in Chloes eyes .

Thank you , Garrett .
Alice was just manipulated by that nurse , thats why she ran away to live with him .
How could I ever have been attracted to such a … liberal woman like Alice ? Youre so much better , Chloe , Garrett sighed , despite his own promiscuous lifestyle .
He still preferred a clean girl .
Whore you calling liberal ? Gators voice cut through the air , startling both of them .
Hed walked in just as Garrett finished badmouthing Alice .
Good thing Jack wasnt with him , or his cousin wouldve been toast .
Jack was fiercely protective of Alice now .
Garretts eyes widened in fear upon seeing Gator .
He nearly dropped the apple in his hand .
You … you … His cousin ! Had his actions at the bar finally caught up with him ? Was his cousin here to settle the score ? Chloe looked past Gator , seeing ΠΟ one .
Its you ? Wheres that nurse ? Gators tone was calm .
Ill handle this .
He doesnt need to be here .
He didnt need Jack to take down his bratty cousin .
Killing a chicken with a butcher knife ? Ridiculous .
Chloes voice dripped with sarcasm .
You ? Youre not qualified .
That nurse was so arrogant .
Wheres the coward hiding now ? Shut up , Garrett snapped at Chloe .
How dare you speak to him like that ? He wouldnt dare talle to his cousin like that .
Η Chloe , deflated , mumbled , Garrett , why do I have to leave ? Im involved in this too .
She felt disrespected .
Men were always like that ; they didnt cherish you once theyd won you over .
Garrett , exasperated , said , Just go ! Cant you understand simple instructions ? He didnt want Chloe to witness his humiliation at his cousins hands .
He had pride , too .
Chloe stamped her foot , huffing out of the room .
Only the two cousins remained .
Gator pulled up a chair .
Youre quite the player , arent you ? I thought I heard your voice at the bar , but I thought I was wrong .
Why didnt you just take off your mask back then , Cuz ? Garrett asked , confused .
It doesnt concern you .
This injury is your own fault .
Dont drag anyone else into it .
Understand ? Garrett was puzzled .
Cuz , that nurse … is he your friend ? Why else would his cousin bet personally handling this ? Yes .
So , you know what to do .
But I have a broken rib ! Youre not even concerned ! Who is this nurse ? Why are you mediating this for him ? Gator sighed , exasperated .
Youre better off not knowing .
Just keep this quiet , and Ill talk to Mom about your exam scores.
Garretts eyes lit up .
Deal ! His exam grades were his biggest concern .
His cousin was a straight A Chapter 101 student , and he was … well , not .
Alice practically leaped out of the cab upon arriving at the hospital .
She was so focused on getting inside that she didnt see something on the ground , tripping .
Careful , watch your step , Jack said , catching her arm .
His eyes held a touch of exasperation .
in ? Looking up at him , she finally relaxed .
You didnt go No , I waited for you .
He hadnt felt the need to go in ; Gator could handle it .
But her frantic arrival , still smelling faintly of hot pot , changed things .
Relieved , she said , Good .
So , whats so urgent ? You shouldnt listen to my brother .
I already hired a lawyer .
If the Garretts cause trouble , well fight them tooth and nail , she said earnestly .
Jacks gaze was fixed on her , on the determination etched on her face .
Her anxious tone on the phone , her concern for him … his usually stoic heart stirred.
He gently tapped her forehead .
Its not that serious .
Ill handle it .
Youll handle what ? Even with a rich friend like Gator , youre nothing compared to the Garretts in this city .
If they press charges , youre completely outmatched .
Just me ? Why not ? Youre a school nurse ! How can you possibly fight a powerful family like that ? she said , her voice rising in frustration .
Besides , its all my fault .
You got hurt because of me , because of that stupid rich kid Garrett ! to want you Hearing her call Garrett a stupid rich kid , an unfamiliar warmth spread through Jack take responsibility? He chuckled softly .
With your tiny frame , Im taking responsibility for you , whats wrong with that ? she retorted , her cheeks flushed .
