“Let’s go.”

Roschelle nodded, sobbing. Just as she was about to turn and leave with Kieran, she suddenly faced everyone in the hospital room.

Roschelle gave everyone a deep bow and held it for almost three seconds. After getting up, she looked down and said, “Sorry, everyone. It was my fault. I made a decision without paying attention to the situation and ended up hurting you all. I’m sorry.”

A delicate, pretty beauty apologized to them, and for a moment, everyone in the hospital room looked a bit sympathetic and sorry for her. Some even looked at Alarieka and Jaylene in a strange way.

Roschelle looked at Alarieka stubbornly but softly, her voice shaking: “Alarieka, Kier didn’t know about this. If you’re mad, just be mad at me; don’t blame Kier. Kier didn’t know anything, he’s innocent.”

Kieran reached out and pulled her over, a look of concern already in his eyes. “Why talk about this? Let’s go.”

Roschelle’s big eyes looked at him, innocent and pitiful, and she nodded, “Okay.”

A bunch of twisted talk. Roschelle played it to the hilt and managed to turn her reputation around.

People in the ward already felt sorry.

“Forget it, little girl. Maybe those people really didn’t know the truth; that’s why they did something wrong. She apologized, your grandma got her bed back, there’s no need to keep pushing.”

Alarieka thought, when had she ever been pushy? When did Roschelle not know?

Thinking back to the provocative look Roschelle gave when she left, Alarieka was sure she definitely knew; that’s why she just happened to take Lorelai’s bed.

Roschelle was just that good. With just a few words, she put herself in the spot of an innocent victim, made herself look totally clean, and made people feel sorry for her. It also made everyone jump to the conclusion that Alarieka was being aggressive.

Alarieka didn’t say anything else and just listened to everyone in the hospital room talking.

“I thought those two looked kind of familiar, like they were some big shots.”

“Hey, I just remembered, wasn’t that Mr. Argent and the pianist Roschelle?”

“Yeah, the two of them were really famous and outstanding. They both studied abroad and came back. Plus, they were each other’s first love, super in love, and often did charity work together. They donated a lot of money.”

“Then we must have misunderstood. How could Kieran and Roschelle do something like steal someone’s hospital bed?”

Jaylene listened and got really mad, almost wanting to stand up right away and argue. It was Alarieka who stopped her: “Just get the bed back, don’t make things more complicated.”

Jaylene’s face turned red with anger: “So we just let them twist the truth?”

Alarieka said softly, “You know what kind of person Kieran was. Do you think we could beat him?”

Jaylene suddenly deflated like a balloon that lost all its air.

That afternoon, when Alarieka went out to get hot water, Natalie swaggered past her from behind, looking at her with a proud and provocative look.

Natalie sneered and said, “Shared room? You guys just keep squeezing in there. I’m taking my dad to a VIP single room. I won’t crowd in with you all. That’s too hard. I can’t let my dad stay with you people.”

Alarieka indifferently took her bottle to get some hot water, and Natalie kept talking behind her.

“Don’t you want to know who set it up for me?”

“It was Kieran, the Kieran you kept thinking about but couldn’t get. Rose just mentioned it to Kieran, and Kieran immediately had someone take care of it.”

“Did you think my dad would have to stay in the hallway too? Sorry, you were wrong. Bet you didn’t see that coming. My dad actually got a better room, had a professional nurse taking care of him, and didn’t have to pay a cent. Kieran covered all the costs. I’m just not like you guys.”

Natalie threw her head back and laughed, laughing like a real little villain.

Alarieka took the kettle but didn’t put the lid on right away. She turned around, and suddenly some boiling hot water from the kettle spilled toward Natalie. She clearly saw some drops of water roll onto Natalie’s bare skin, and Natalie screamed from the scalding hot water.

“Ah!”

Alarieka gave a half-smile and said, “Sorry, didn’t see you.”

Natalie pointed at her, her face a little twisted: “You did it on purpose!”

Alarieka laughed softly and said, “I’m innocent, I really didn’t see you.”

After saying that, she turned around and left, not paying any more attention to the clown.
