eyes
Alice’s widened in shock., staring at the sharp-tongued school doctor. He actually spoke up for her? Did he
believe her?
Alice's eyes
turned red; even a stranger understood this, but her brothers didn’t.
Or maybe they did understand but were just biased towards Chloe, choosing not to see it.
Chloe's expression froze, her teeth clenched in frustration. What did this doctor mean? Didn't he see her sick and
still wanting to serve Alice? Why wasn’t he moved by her kindness and instead spoke for Alice? This wasn’t right.
Her tactic always worked before.
Chloe couldn't find her voice, lowering her head in grievance.
Caleb stepped forward to defend Chloe.“Chloe cto school sick because the exams are in less than a hundred
days. She couldn't miss class. She wanted to reconcile with Alice, but speople just don’t appreciate it.”
Alice found it all so ironic.

This morning, Caleb told her to care for Chloe, get her
water, food... Didn't that interfere with her studies? It turned out he knew the exam was coming up in less than a

It was just that her exams weren't as important as Chloe's.
Noah said, “Caleb, take Chloe home.”
“Noah!”
“Are
you ignoring what | said?”
Caleb fell silent and took Chloe away.
The infirmary was silent again.
Noah frowned. “Alice, if

She didn’t want to see them.
“Alice, if you keep acting out like this, | can’t protect you anymore.” Noah was getting annoyed. He pulled back
the blanket.“Chwith me!” He needed to talk to her. Chloe couldn't keep getting hurt.
Jack held Noah's arm, his gaze

His tone was firm, leaving no room for argument.
Alice looked up in shock, seeing him standing tall in front of her second brother. She noticed a scar on his wrist, a
deep, ugly red, strikingly noticeable. She had a similar scar on her leg from the car accident. Had he also been in
an accident?
Noah stood his ground: “I'm her brother. I'll take her home. We have a doctor at home.”

“Since you have a doctor at home, why let her suffer with a fever for so long?” Seeing Alice's pale face, Noah felt
a twinge of guilt as he replied:“She didn’t tell us she was sick.” And he’d tried to touch her forehead, but she'd
dodged him. Could he be blamed for that? Maybe Maybe Alice was just dragging out her illness to avoid
responsibility.

Jack’s voice turned displeased.“Sir, if you try to forcibly take her, Ill call the police for child abuse. And legally, if
a child suffers domestic violence, she can apply for personal safety protection.” “I'm her biological brother; I'm
her guardian!”
“But just now, | saw you hit her, assault her. There are security cameras as evidence. I'm sure the police will

Alice’s heart trembled slightly as she stole a glance at the man standing before her.
