Chapter 520 Waking Up Early

Throughout my time with Alicia in the hospital, I was tempted to tell her about what happened to Janette, as waiting to do so after she was discharged wasn’t going to make a difference. Unfortunately, the words just refused to leave my mouth.

Even when I left at night, I didn’t bring the matter up. In fact, I told her that I wouldn’t be there to pick her up the next day due to how busy I was at work.

Even though Alicia was disappointed, she didn’t express it. After all, she should have been more than satisfied after I took care of her for two whole days in the hospital.

By the time I reached home at night, I felt utterly drained. Despite barely doing anything at the hospital, it felt as if the day was unusually long.

When Michael came down after taking a shower, he shot me a quick glance before handing me some ice water from the fridge.

“Thank you,” I grunted meekly as I received the water.

“You haven’t told her about Janette yet.”

Staring into my eyes, Michael spoke with a nonchalant yet certain tone.

“How did you know?”

I was surprised that he guessed it without me telling him.

“It’s just a wild guess. Knowing you, you must have chosen not to tell her for fear that she couldn’t take the news.”

Michael pulled me into his embrace as he said that.
