Chapter 649: A Cutie Or A Man-Eater

“Miss Alice, Where’s your…friend? I asked her to take care of you before I came back. Why are you…”

“I asked her to leave first.”

The person Alice was waiting for had returned. She stood up and patted the hem of her skirt. Her thick eyelashes flickered as she said playfully, “Now, Dirk, come with me to taste the delicacies!”

Dirk had always seen Alice in a lifeless state. It was rare to see her so relaxed and happy. Finally, she was a little lively at her age.

Before he could be moved, he suddenly realized…

“No, wait, Miss Alice! You can’t eat those things! The Doctor said that you’d better…”

“Oh, please, Dirk!”

Alice’s eyes were curved, like a cute and holy angel from a mural. She put her hands together, and her skirt fluttered like petals as she walked. “I just want to taste it. It’s okay.”

“No, if you insist, I’ll tell the Madam.”

“God, Dirk, you’re not lovable at all.”

Alice pulled a face. “You’ll make my mother cry. If she cries, my father will be angry. Oh! Please, this is really a terrible thing!”

Dirk was helpless.

He chased after Alice and tried to persuade her, hoping that she would change her mind. “If you really insist, I’ll call the Count and ask him to persuade you personally…”

“I saw the doctor.”

Alice interrupted him, her green eyes filled with gentleness. “She allowed me to eat.”

Dirk froze on the spot. A muscular man, who was 1.9 meters tall, instantly turned red.

“No, I don’t believe that’s true. Miss Alice, please tell me that you’re lying to me on purpose.”

“I’m sorry, Dirk.”

Alice spread her hands, “I also wish I was lying. If only a magical doctor appeared at this time and told me there’s actually nothing wrong with my body. How good would it be if I could recover soon? Dirk, such is life. God has his own plans.”

She reached out her hand to Dirk and said in a sweet voice, “Come on, Dirk, let’s go eat something delicious!”

Dirk turned around and quickly wiped away his tears.

“Then we…”

“Let’s go back tomorrow. If we’re going to die, I want to die in my father and mother’s arms with my family.”

The grief-stricken Dirk did not notice that Alice’s face was rosy. She looked much better than before.

Finally, she had a healthy color.

…

“Where did you go?”

Huo Yunque reached out his hand. Song Yaoyao jogged two steps and stuffed her small hand into his palm.

Huo Yunque touched something that felt like a coin.

He raised his eyebrows and opened his palm again.

The pendant was the size of a one-dollar coin, and there was an iris flower carved on it.

“The emblem of the Lancaster family, where did you get this?”

Song Yaoyao leaned against his side and fiddled with it in her fingers. “I met a cutie and did a good deed, so she gave this to me.”

“Is that so?”

Huo Yunque’s eyes were filled with amusement. His fingertips were slightly cold as he pinched her chin and lifted it up, leaning over to take a sniff.

“Did you steal some dessert?”

“No…” Song Yaoyao’s eyes flickered, and she touched her nose guiltily.

“I’ll punish you by forbidding you from eating cake for three days.”

The man flicked her cheek affectionately with his finger. “The people from the Lancaster family are not good people. Are you sure you met a cutie and not a man-eater?”

“A man-eater?”

Song Yaoyao chuckled. “Unfortunately, this man-eater doesn’t have long to live.”
