Chapter 381 Feeling Nothing

While brushing my wig, Alisa gossiped, "I heard he customized this wig specially for you. Look, I think it's made of real hair.

*And the doctor from back then? Jack flew him from Sheffold using his family's private helicopter. Ah. I can't relate to a love story with a rich president.

"You also have a rich president," I muttered, which made her glare at me.

"Little girl, don't challenge my parental authority. I'll interrogate you properly once you've recovered

"But honestly, I think the guy is alright. He's kind of like Julian, just not as sharp-tongued. Jack is not very vocal. Think about it, okay? He's already met the family anyway. Julian and I think he's pretty good."

I rolled my eyes at her. Alisa thought she could play the role of a parent when she was only slightly older than me.

When I thought about Jack, my expression darkened.

Even passersby would figure out how he felt for me, so how could I not? But considering my situation....

1 closed my eyes. First, it was cancer, and now, I had been hit on the head. I wasn't even sure if it had affected my intelligence.

My life was filled with hardships. I didn't want to drag anyone along.

When Alisa kept asking me how I felt about him, I finally spoke up, "I feel nothing I don't want to think about love right now. Just look at me, Alisa "

I raised my thin arm, revealing only skin and bones. An IV drip was attached to it, and my head was wrapped in gauze.

With the ever-1

r-present threat of my cancer returning, I dared not to think about love. Even staying alive felt like a luxury.

Alisa walked over and stroked my bald head. "Got it. I'll just make you cringe every day by being lovey-dovey with Julian in front of you. It's easy to entertain you anyway.

I rolled my eyes again. She just had to say that. Still, this bickering improved my mood

She was right-returning to the country was nice. At least I had family here, though their words weren't always pleasant to hear.

When Julian came to check on me, he snorted. "As someone older than you, let me remind you to rest properly. Don't waste our time and care. If you don't attend Lisa's and my wedding next year..." "You'll bite me to death?" I winloed at him.

"That can be arranged."

No wonder Alisa liked Julian; he was just

t like her.

When Penelope came over and saw Julian's displeased expression, she felt a bit guilty.

"Dr. Pope, I'm just here to discuss the progress of the case, not to ask questions."

Sure,

you have ten minThis is from .

Remaining expressionless, Julian pushed the door and exited the ward

"Your attending physician is so intimidating," Penelope commented while patting her chest.

"Yes, he is." I nodded vigorously. "Why did you want to see me? Is there any progress on the case?"

Hearing me mention the case, Penelope quickly clarified her purpose for visiting

"We've found the person who attacked you. He received money from someone online, so he gave it a try. He doesn't know who the employer is. He only knows that he's supposed to steal all your electronic devices and send them to a designated location "You didn't find anyone he met up with?"

Since there was a designated location, someone must've gone to pick up the itens, right?

Nodding in frustration, Penelope replied, "It's a locker at the supermarket, and their surveillance camera is under repair."

Everything seemed too coincidental, but I knew that was not the case. It was only one surveillance camera, so Luca could've done it himself.

"What about Harmon Group? Have you gone there and checked their documents?"
