< Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Karlie nodded in satisfaction, "I'll have another way to thank you after it's done." This was a private hospital, catering exclusively to the wealthy. It was as easy as pie to bribe the doctors here. She did have a blood disease, but it wasn't serious, and definitely not to the point of needing a bone marrow transplant. That's why I did it. Of course it was to finish them off. "Alanna!" Menu Karlie clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, "It was you, who took away twenty years of my life, only served five years in prison, and thought it was over? I not only want to ruin your reputation, but also make you disappear from this world completely, so that secret will never be revealed." "Karlie, Karlie?" In the hallway, Alfred was frantically looking for Karlie. Karlie saw it and immediately slowed down, pretending to be tired, "Alfred, I'm here." Alfred heard a sound, turned around, and walked quickly to her side, "You're not feeling well, why are you still running around everywhere?" Karlie replied gently, "Lying in bed all day makes you rusty, and besides, the doctor said it's better to move around a bit for recovery." "That's true, but how could you go out alone? No matter what, you should always have a servant with you." "I, I…" Karlie lowered her head and coyly threw herself into Alfred's arms, "I was too impatient, I really hope to recover soon so I can marry you right away." Alfred's heart, it's like it melted away. Holding Karlie tight, I said, "No matter how you change, I will marry you. You are so kind, so gentle, I believe God has days will definitely be very successful." From Alfred's point of view, Karlie had a fierce look in her eyes. eyes, the surgery in three Three days, man, it was just too long. She wished she could drag Alanna into the operating room right now. Once she walked through that door, Alanna was definitely done for. The two hugged for a while, and then Alfred said to Karlie, "Tomorrow night is my grandfather's birthday. There will be a banquet with some close relatives and friends. It's a pity that you're not feeling well, otherwise I could have taken you with me." How could she miss such a big event? And she had already prepared the birthday gift for Reginald Murphy a long time ago. "No problem." Hyp Karlie quickly said, "Just going to a birthday dinner, no need to exert any energy. If I get tired, I'll just sit down and rest, won't cause any trouble for you." "Okay." Alfred couldn't resist Karlie's hopeful eyes, so he had to agree. The two walked down the hallway towards the ward. Just as they reached the door, Alfred got a call from the Murphy's mansion. The person on the other end said a few things, and Alfred frowned. "Emilio, are you sure this is what Grandpa ordered?" "Mr. Alfred, Sir Murphy found out that Ms. Perry was released from prison today, so he sent an old servant to call you and ask you to bring Alanna over tomorrow night." "Got it." Alfred said irritably, and hung up the phone. Karlie asked softly, "Alfred, what's wrong?" Alfred complained, "Grandpa is really confused. Why did he ask me to bring Alanna to such an occasion? It's embarrassing. Everyone in New York knows that Alanna has been to jail!" Karlie's eyes rolled a few times as she imagined Alanna being mocked and excluded by everyone at the party, a smirk forming at the corner of her mouth. "Alanna spent three years in prison, she has already turned over a new leaf, don't keep holding onto the past. Since grandpa has spoken, you should take Alanna with you." Alfred sighed, pinched Karlie's face, "You, you're just too kind." Alanna hadn't slept well for a long time. Although the cot was narrow, it was much better than the conditions in prison. She no longer had to worry about dead rats, toads, and other strange disgusting things under the mattress, nor did she have to worry about being suddenly punched or kicked by cellmates. However, just as she fell asleep, a hand grabbed her forcefully. Alanna was in pain; she slowly opened her eyes against the glaring light above her. Facing Alfred's disdainful look, "Get Alanna mumbled, "Where to?" up, let's go!" "You're really something. You spent three years in jail, and grandpa still can't forget about you. Tomorrow is grandpa's birthday. Do you really want to go dressed like this?"
