Alice turned sharply when she heard Max’s words, her eyes scrutinizing her closely. A thought crossed her mind. Could this be related to Jack?

But on the outside, Alice remained calm. After all, some things weren’t easy to discuss. Max picked up the phone, her voice breaking with a slight sob, clearly shaken.

Alice couldn’t help but feel a hint of irony as she watched Max. It seemed even the Garcia family knew what it felt like to lose someone close.

Alice left the school. Sure enough, Jack’s car

Jack’s car was parked by the side of the road.

She walked over quickly, opened the door, and slid inside.

“This is for you,” Jack said.

He handed her a small bag filled with treats.

Alice glanced at the bag.“You still had time to buy these?”

From the time Jack had messaged her, she could tell he’d left very early that morning.

“When you care, you always make time,” Jack replied with a smile.
