The Epic Blind Date with My Boss (Josie and Dexter)

Chapter 161 Apollo Acknowledges Them as Family

Alice was dressed as Tanner, and the identification documents she used belonged to her as well.

“You’re here, Alice.” When Jane opened the door, she couldn’t help but feel her heart ache upon seeing Alice’s haggard state. “You must be tired from the journey, right?”

“I’m fine. I’m going to check on Pierce.” Alice smiled as she looked at Jane, but it was slightly forced. Although she was usually skilled at masking her emotions, it was difficult for her to do so whenever she faced her brother.

“Okay.” Jane’s eyes darkened, her tone turning downcast.

Alice didn’t say anything in reply and walked into Pierce’s ward.

Although it looked like a regular residential ward from the outside, it was filled with cutting–edge medical equipment, and there were also specialized doctors making daily visits, putting the ward in a much better, condition than even the most advanced hospitals.

For the sake of her brother, Alice had done everything she could. However, seven years had gone by, and Pierce was still unconscious.

As she gazed at Pierce lying on the bed, her usual mask left her face, and her eyes reddened in an instant. She walked over and bent over before the bed, the corners of her lips twitching slightly as she looked at the unconscious man. “Pierce, it’s been seven years. Aren’t you done resting yet?”

There was a beat of silence as Alice gazed at Pierce before her lips twitched. There was an attempt at a smile, but the tug of her lips didn’t bear the impression of a smile at all, and the sight was all the more tragic to look at. Even Jane, who was standing off to the side, only felt her eyes turn hot with tears.

Although the arc on her lips didn’t look like a smile, she still tried her best to force them upward. “I know you haven’t gotten enough rest yet, Pierce, so rest well.”
