Chapter 76

After sending the message, Alice received no reply from Jack. Looking at their chat log, she felt something had

shifted, though she couldn't quite articulate it. She’d grown accustomed to hist presence. During her most

vulnerable moments after her rebirth, he'd been her shield against the storm. He was both mentor and

Feeling uneasy, she went downstairs to buy snacks to distract herself. As she was paying, a car pulled up and

beeped. It was Noah.

Her expression cooled.“Were you following me?”

“Alice, this is New York. Finding you was just a matter of time.” His gaze was complex. He'd gone. to some

lengths to find her. That doctor, Noah, was no ordinary person, although his investigation had yielded nothing

concrete.

Alice’s eves narrowed.“What do you want?”

“Alice, | mean no harm. The exam results are coming out soon. I'm just worried about you. Choosing a college is

a big deal.”

Alice recalled last time, when Noah had agreed with Luke, forcing her to apply to third-tier colleges with Chloe.

She offered a sarcastic smile. “It’s unnecessary. | can handle it myself.”

Noah looked pale and wounded. “That... that wasn’t my intention.”

“Then stop it! Stay away from me!

As she turned to leave, there was a thud. Noah had collapsed.

Alice hesitated, then approached. The driver supported Noah, saying urgently, “Sir's stomach problems have

been bothering him for a long time. He refuses to go to the hospital, and I'm worried it will get worse.”

She saw blood on Noah's lips. Annoyed, she helped the driver get Noah into the car. As she was

The driver urged, “Miss Alice, please accompany him. His condition can’t be ignored.” Alice found herself in the

car. She remained silent, her face grim.

Noah smiled weakly.“Alice, it's been a while since we had a proper conversation.”

Alice said coldly, Didn't you have Chloe? You don’t need me. It had always been that way. “Cough... that’s not

true. You're not like Chloe. We're siblings. You're the most important to me. He coughed, spitting blood.

Alice handed him a tissue. Noah looked relieved.“l knew you still cared about your second brother.”

Alice looked out the window, feeling cynical. She'd once desperately craved her brothers attention, longing for

their recognition. She'd given everything in her past life, to no avail. Now, after she'd stopped caring. Noah was

clinging to her. People are so strange.

At the hospital, Noah went for tests. Alice was about to leave when a doctor stopped her.“You're his family, right?

Please persuade Mr. Noah to take his medication consistently. His stomach. condition could worsen into stomach

cancer.”

Alice’s expression was cold.”If he doesn’t care about his health, who can control him?” “Alice, is that how you

“Oh, you didn’t notice. Instead of making excuses, try persuading Second Brother to see a doctor

and take his medicine.”

After her scathing rebuke, Alice left.

Luke was fuming. “Alice’s getting bolder.”

Chloe was also angry. “Sixth Brother, Alice’s a star streamer on TikTok, and she’s such a skilled gamer. Of course,

she’s confident.”

“Hmph, even if she is successful, she’s still Windham family. If she pushestoo far. I'll make sure she can

“Sixth Brother, where's Alice?”

Noah, after his check-up, was disappointed to find Alice gone.

“Second Brother, that ungrateful brat left. Why are you looking for her?”

Chloe approached.“Second Brother, are you okay? | was so worried. Why didn’t you tell us your condition

worsened?”

“It’s nothing serious. Noah's disappointment was evident. He'd hoped Alice would stay.

Chloe sensed a threat. She'd worked so hard, yet Noah still cared deeply for Alice.

Noah's secretary rushed in. “Sir, a partner wants to terminate our contract, citing issues with our firewall

software.”

Chloe said, “Get the technical team to fix it.”

“They can’t. That's why they want to end the contract.”

Noah sighed. “Alice was in charge of that firewall section.” He couldn't bring himself to ask her for help, so he'd

delayed it.

Luke scoffed. | don't believe we can’t solve this without Alice. Second Brother, leave it to me.

Chloe, jealous, said, “Second Brother, if | were there, | would have solved this for you.”

Noah sighed.“Only after Alice left did | realize

how important she is.”
