Chapter 2217
Half an hour later, Henrick's wounds had been treated.
However, his heart was burning with anxiety.
Alice took the water back to the bathroom. Looking at herself in the mirror, her eyes turned red with anger. She glared at herself. "Alice, why don't you have a good memory?"
"You've already been hurt time and time again. Are you still going to offer yourself up to be slaughtered?" After staying in the bathroom for a long time, she sorted out her feelings and went out.
Only by letting go of the past could she start over again.
From a distance, she saw a disappointed Henrick sitting quietly, staring at the carpet under his feet.
She pursed her lips slightly, looked at him, walked over, and sat opposite him.
He felt that she was sitting opposite him, and then he slowly looked up at her.
Alice put her hands on her knees and clenched her fists. She looked at Henrick and told him all her feelings in the past few years. She knew that she liked him, so she also said goodbye to her secret love. She believed that she would no longer suffer for this matter.
He was the sore spot in her heart.
If she could make it clear to him in person, she believed that she could face this relationship calmly in the future.
"Henrick, let's continue with the topic. Do you know why I forgave you so quickly?"
Seeing that she didn't know what to say, he tensed up. He even had the urge to escape.
"First of all, I did really like you, but that was seven years ago. Now, I don't want to like you anymore. I've been in so much pain over the years."
"It wasn't easy for me to move on from that incident. I don't want to dwell on the past anymore. So it would be best if we do not meet each other again."
Henrick could clearly see the pain in her eyes. He had deeply hurt the girl in front of him. A sense of guilt and deep self-blame filled his whole body.
Before he could speak, Alice added, "Henrick, you don't have to feel burdened when I say these words to you. It was my fault from the beginning to the end. All the pain was because I liked you." "Now that you've made it clear, I don't think I'll be in as much pain as before. I'm also very grateful to you for understanding what happened seven years ago and proving my innocence. You even apologized to me. Thank you for not letting my secret love turn into hatred in the end, which is the best ending for us."
She smiled and burst into tears. She couldn't even control her emotions. She lowered her head and cried for a while. She raised her head, wiped her tears quickly, and said in a choked voice, "Henrick, I... I hope you can be happy in the future!"
In the end, she couldn't bear to part with him. After all, she had loved him for too long and couldn't give him up. However, if she didn't force herself, she really couldn't cross this hurdle.
After crying for a long time, she stopped and looked at him with a relieved smile.
He looked at her smile and felt sad and bitter. Seeing her crying so sadly, he wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say.
He could only watch her cry quietly.
He nodded subconsciously and said, "Okay! Alice, I wish you happiness in the future!"
"Thank you!" Alice smiled with relief, and the huge stone in her heart suddenly disappeared.
Henrick slowly got up and found that all his strength seemed to have been drained.
He seemed to have a feeling that he had fallen into a trap when he went out.
He didn't know how he got back to his room. The moment he laid on the bed, he looked at the ceiling above his head and realized that he had returned to his room.
He had no strength in his body and felt very sad. His eyes were sore and his throat felt as if it was hard to breathe.
Alice had said, "Now that you've made it clear, I don't think I'll be in as much pain as before. I'm also very grateful to you for understanding what happened seven years ago and proving my innocence. You ever apologized to me. Thank you for not letting my secret love turn into hatred in the end, which is the best ending for us."
He didn't know what was wrong with himself. He felt terrible.
He slowly closed his eyes, but his mind was filled with her pained cries. The pitiful look of her forcing herself to give up was really heartbreaking.
It hurt when he looked at her. How much more pain was she in?
Henrick tried to imagine the pain that Alice had suffered. He closed her eyes and found that the corners of his eyes were a little wet. He also felt pain, but he couldn't understand it.
Her pain-filled voice was still ringing in her ears.
He suddenly opened his dark eyes and sat up slowly.
He was heartbroken, upset, and lost. He seemed to be ill.
He looked out of the window. The sun was shining brightly.
Despite this, his heart felt extremely cold and lonely.
He kept thinking about it. Love was just a word, but he had never loved Alice, and he could not understand the deep love she had for him.
It turned out that she liked him and suffered a lot.
It turned out that she liked him so much!
No wonder his mother often told him not to provoke a girl when he was not sure of his feelings for her, because women had to bear more than men.
He laid in bed, lost in his thoughts.
After Henrick left, Alice hid in the quilt and cried.
Although she had made things clear, her heart was still in so much pain that she couldn't breathe. She still couldn't forget him.
Even if she could not be with him, she had the desire to spend the rest of her life with him.
However, she also understood that no matter how excellent she became for him, he would never like her.
It was said that only after losing something could one know how to cherish it, but she had never had it in the first place. It was more painful than losing it after cherishing it!
Ellie told Alma and Candice about Henrick's visit to Alice's room.
Alma and Candice's expressions didn't look very good!
Ellie said, "When Mr. Henrick came out of Alice's room, he was very upset. Before entering, they talked for a while at the door, but I didn't dare to get too close, so I didn't hear what they said clearly." Candice looked at Alma with some concern. "Alma, don't think too much about it. Just deal with the social activities tonight. Have you made an appointment with Mr. Jefferson?"
Alma nodded. "We've made an appointment. Let's go somewhere far away for dinner so that no one will see us."
Candice remarked, "You don't have to worry about that. I have arranged the place for dinner. We will set out at about four o'clock. You and Mr. Jefferson should confirm the time. If there is no problem, we will set out from the hotel soon." There were many things that needed to be done quickly.
Alma nodded, feeling more uneasy than the day before.
Alice cried and fell asleep. She had a good rest. When she woke up, it was time for her to have dinner with Giada.
She quickly got out of bed to wash up and looked at herself in the mirror. Because she had slept, her red and swollen eyes had returned to normal.
She was in a much better mood. After taking a shower, she changed her clothes, put on light makeup, and hurried out.
