Chapter 310 The Doctor’s Excuse 

As for everything else… 

The road to avenging Eugenia was extremely dangerous. 

Alice wasn’t sure she could walk away from it unharmed. 

There were many things she didn’t want to get tangled up in. 

If she couldn’t promise a future, why disturb someone’s life at all? 

Besides, she figured she was probably meant to be alone in this life anyway. So be it. 

Julius called again.

Since it wasn’t convenient for him to step in personally, he wanted Alice to keep an eye on 

Samson. 

“Ms. Spencer, he’s my man. We’re partners now, which means he’s at your disposal too. Do me a favor and check on him. If he really dies, wouldn’t you be losing a useful subordinate?” 

Alice fell silent. If he put it that way, she didn’t really mind anymore. 

“General Fern, have you made things clear to him? If he has even a hint of disloyalty toward me, I won’t dare use him.” 

Julius smiled faintly.

Don’t worry. At least during our cooperation, he’ll be your most loyal 

After hanging up, Alice did a quick check. 

Samson had been taken by ambulance to St. Anne Hospital. 

She decided to contact Jack directly. 

As for going herself? She was exhausted. Why bother seeing someone she didn’t even want to look at? 

Once that was taken care of, she closed her eyes to rest. 

Maybe it was the calm atmosphere inside the car, but what was supposed to be just a short break turned into actual sleep. 

Daniel spotted the opportunity immediately and took a sharp turn ahead.

Alice swayed slightly and fell into Eric’s arms. 

Daniel quickly put the partition up. 

Can’t see anything. Didn’t see anything. 

Eric lowered his gaze, looking at Alice resting against his legs.

Back on the ship, even though he knew the bomb had been dealt with, his heart still clenched when Magnus pressed the remote. 

Almost instinctively, he had wanted to shield Alice beside him. 

A loose strand of hair fell across her face. 

Without thinking, he lifted his hand and gently brushed it aside. 

Her skin was incredibly smooth, soft, and springy to the touch. 

And maybe because the air outside had been cool earlier, her cheeks felt slightly cold. 

That cool sensation traveled from his fingertips and sent a sharp ripple through his nerves. 

Before he realized it, his hand was cupping her cheek. 

Warmth spread quickly, tinting her face a deep red. 

By the time the car arrived at the villa, Alice was starting to wake up. 

The moment she opened her eyes, she felt warm all over. 

Her cheeks burned, like they were lit by sunset clouds, so hot it made her heart feel numb. 

That electric sensation rushed through her body making every nerve feel soft and tingling. 

Suddenly, she didn’t want to move. 

The feeling was unfamiliar, yet comforting. 

After being alone for so long, suddenly having a safe, warm place and someone who felt easy to be around was something she truly didn’t want to push away. 

Daniel spoke up at the worst possible moment. 

“We’re here!” 

Alice snapped out of it and immediately opened her eyes, sitting upright.

In that brief moment just now, she had thought of Eugenia, of her partners overseas. 

She had thought of many warm memories. 

She had thought of Eric. 

She slowly lifted her gaze, and Eric’s handsome face came straight into view. 

His eyes had a striking shape.

Up close, they almost looked like almond–shaped eyes with a slight upward slant, but from a distance, not quite. 

Still, that didn’t take away from how deep his gaze was. 

If she wasn’t careful, it felt like she could get pulled right in. 

Like a three–dimensional black hole. 

Her heart suddenly skipped hard. 

How long had she been staring? 

How had she gotten so absorbed? 

Her thoughts were abruptly cut off. 

“Sorry, I fell asleep just now.” 

As she spoke, her eyes darted away slightly, like she’d done something she wasn’t supposed 

1. to. 

Eric didn’t move. He pointed at his legs. 

“I can’t move.” 

Alice panicked for a split second. 

She didn’t even know why she was nervous. 

Maybe it was 

ecause he was a rather troublesome patient. 

She immediately placed both hands on his thighs and gently pressed along the muscles. 

“Do you feel anything?” 

“I 

o,” Eric answered honestly.

“What about here?” 

“Yes.” 

“And here?” 

Eric’s Adam’s apple bobbed hard. 

“Yes.” 

Something about his voice sounded off. 

Alice frowned and looked down at her hands. 

Oh no. 

She was way too close to the top of his thigh. 

And she had touched… 

She’d been lost in her own thoughts and completely zoned out. 

What had she just done?

Luckily, she was a doctor. That identity alone made it easy to treat everything as perfectly normal. 

“Okay. You’re fine.” 

She slowly pulled her hands back, looking calm and professional. 

“Your leg just went numb. Once you get out of the car and move around a bit, it’ll be fine.” 

Eric fell silent.
