Bring Your A Game

Bring Your A Game Mr Chapter 993-“No, I’m not,” Jamie replied. “I’m at the sanatorium right now. Earlier this morning, the Doc asked me to find a type of medicinal herb that could be used as incense that would help Alicia sleep better and would also be beneficial for her condition. I brought it over after work. Did you head to the office to look for me?”

“No. I’m heading home now. You don’t need to pick me up.”

“Okay, darling. Go ahead and get ready first. Your fiancé will be right there.”

After ending the call, Narissa glanced up at Jamie’s office before turning around and walking back to her car.

Jamie pocketed his phone with a loving expression on his face and turned around. That was when he realized that Alicia had come downstairs at some point and was now standing right in front of him.

This meant that she heard everything he said to Narissa earlier. Their conversation might have triggered her.

Jamie frowned at once and he pondered how he could salvage the situation.

Alicia clutched her chest and swallowed as she tried to hold back her tears. Her eyes were watery as she asked, “You’ve gotten together with Narissa, right?”

She wasn’t a fool. Over the past few days, she heard snippets of the conversations that Jamie had with Narissa over the phone.

It was already a possibility that she had long since deduced, but all this while, she could not bring herself to accept it. She didn’t want to believe it.

Jamie looked down. His silence confirmed it.

Alicia felt as if millions of tiny needles were stabbing into every inch of her skin. She closed her eyes and clenched her fists as she told herself to hold onto the very last of her dignity.

“Go on. She’s waiting for you. You don’t need to come over anymore. I’ll be just fine by myself.”

She turned around and held the wall as she tried to make her way back upstairs, but she was so weak that her body kept quivering.

Jamie quickly rushed forward to help her. “I’ll help you up.”

“I don’t need your pity!” Alicia gathered all the strength she could muster and flung his hand away from her. She glared at him with red, teary eyes. “Jamie, since you can’t give me your love, don’t get involved with me, and don’t make me rely on you! There’s no such thing as someone dying if they can’t be with someone else, but if someone gives another person hope in their darkest days before suddenly taking it away again, then there’s no telling whether the person can carry on living.”

She was that person. Jamie was the only hope she could grasp onto, but now, the ray of light she found was not hers to have.

When it came to love, no one was in control of anything.

Alicia had heard an elderly person saying this on the street once. She only felt that it was an insightful saying back then, but now, she finally realized what those words truly meant.

Not all feelings were reciprocated. Not all love ended in a happily ever after. Those who were not meant to be together would part at some point.

Jamie watched as Alicia walked up the stairs with great difficulty. Each step she took was like a heavy thud in his heart. He was already ridden with guilt, and now, he felt as if he would never be able to make things better.

One hour later.

Alicia sat on her bed and stared out the window in a daze. The moonlight shone in through the window and cascaded across her body but failed to illuminate her expression.

Thus, Paul didn’t notice that Alicia was crying.

Paul placed the rose he wanted to give Narissa into the vase on the table before sitting down beside Alicia. He stared out at the moon as well.

Right here, right now, it was as if the two of them had gone back in time, where Paul was still a carefree, reckless person, and Alicia wasn’t sick.

Paul sighed. “We both developed feelings at the same time, and we both ended up brokenhearted on the same day. We’re siblings who’ve fallen on hard times together.”

He reached out to Alicia and leaned her head on his shoulder before he continued saying, “I know how upset you are right now, but you know, it doesn’t matter. Even if we lose everything in the world, we still have each other. We’ve been together ever since we were in our mother’s womb. I’ll accompany you even in our next life. We’ll grow old together, so don’t be afraid even if you don’t find someone to love you, got it?”

Paul and Alicia were fraternal twins. Their mother had died in childbirth and their father died in a plane crash soon after. They had been together since birth and barely spent any time apart.

Although Paul was a reckless daredevil, he never allowed Alicia to get hurt in any way. He was both a brother and a father to her.

Alicia’s burning hot tears dripped down on Paul’s neck. He adjusted his position before patting her gently on his shoulder and encouraging her warmly, “Get better soon, okay, Alicia? I know that you’re not a weak and helpless girl.”
