Chapter 118 Go to Kieran
The congee was well made, and the taste of the ingredients was maintained. Alexa liked
its softness and stickiness.
Seeing that Alexa liked the congee, Kieran continued to serve her.
Alexa ate silently and inadvertently looked at his hand.
Kieran’s fingers were slender. Although they were much fairer than ordinary people, they
were warm and strong enough to give her a sense of security.
“Dr. Powell, you don’t have to worry about me,” Alexa whispered. “Go do your job.”
“Are you full?” Kieran looked up.
The congee was all that Alexa had eaten this morning, but she did not feel hungry. After
eating just a little more, she lost her appetite.
“I’m stuffed.” Alexa nodded and thanked Kieran. “Thank you, Dr. Powell.”
Kieran got up to take away the tableware and said gently.
“I was afraid that you wouldn’t like the hospital’s food, so I asked my chef to cook it. I’m
afraid it doesn’t fit your preference.”
“No. Dr. Powell, it’s delicious.”
“Since you like it, I’ll ask them to cook some other food and then send it over.”
Kieran’s eyes were dark, but they were shining.
“How could I let you do that? I…”
“Don’t always worry about causing me trouble,” Kieran said as he tilted his head. “I never
thought you are trouble.”
Alexa’s speech was stopped as if she had been hit hard by something.
Kieran calmly packed up the utensils and quietly left the ward.
Alexa looked at the needle on the back of her hand in a daze. The potion was injected into
her body,
and she felt warm.
Alexa was absent-mindedly holding her phone and chatting about the design drafts with
Kimora when she received a text message from a strange number.
“Alexa, I’m coming back from England. What gift do you want?”

Brenton was indeed coming back.
Alexa blinked and did not reply.
She was like a bug hiding in darkness at the end of the world, silently peeking at Brenton’s
light.
But she and Brenton were impossible to be together.
Alexa had just put away her phone when Brenton sent another message.
“If you don’t reply to me, I’ll decide on the gift on my own.”
Not long ago, she promised Tania that she would no longer have any relationship with
Brenton. But what was she doing now?
“No need.”
Alexa answered with two words and then blocked the number.
It was not long before noon. Bottles of liquid were yet to be injected, but the servants of
the Powell family brought lunch over.
“Ms. Duran,” the woman leading the servants said kindly. “We will put the food on the
table. Please take your time.”
Alexa was not used to such an address, but she did not say anything.
“Thank you,” Alexa said gently. “Say thank you to Dr. Powell on my behalf.”
“Mr. Powell is now treating patients,” the woman said proudly with a smile. “He will come
over to eat with you after he is done.”
“No need to do that.” Alexa waved her hand. “He doesn’t need to stay with me.”
The woman did not say anything and bowed together with the servants behind her.
“Enjoy the meal.”
Alexa picked up the spoon nervously, but Terrence called her.
“Where are you?” the person on the phone said calmly. “Come back to eat.”
“I…”
“Where are you now?”
Terrence’s tone became gloomier as if this was an important question.
“I have things to do now.” After Alexa said this, she added, “But don’t worry, I will go to
the hospital to take care of your mother as soon as possible.”

“Hmm,” Terrence responded flatly and continued to ask, “what are you doing?”
“Just a small matter.” Alexa promised, “I will be back soon.”
“Whose car did you take when you went out?”
Terrence suddenly asked this question, and Alexa’s face immediately paled.
It seemed that there was no need to lie to him.
“It was Brenton’s mother. She gave me a ride.”
“Brenton’s mother…”
When Terrence mentioned the word “Brenton”, he seemed to have gritted his teeth.
“You have a good relationship with her,” Terrence spoke slowly. Then he asked patiently,
“Where are you now?”
“I’m at St. Paolo Hospital. I’ll be back after I get some medicine.”
These words instantly angered Terrence.
“You went to Kieran again?
“There are so many doctors in New York. Why always Kieran?
“Alexa, you are challenging my patience, aren’t you?
“Come back, or I will send someone to take you back!
“You’re so bold! How dare you go to him behind my back?”
Terrence roared repeatedly. Alexa was stunned by his fierceness and did not come back to
her senses for a long time.
“I see.”
She said these words indifferently, and Terrence seemed to have problems venting his
anger.
How could Alexa be so hateful?
He had told her that Kieran was up to no good, but Alexa not only refused to listen but
also kept getting closer to Kieran.
Since she liked Kieran so much, then he would not let it happen.
As long as his signature wasn’t on the divorce agreement, other men couldn’t be with
her!
Terrence’s mind became more and more twisted, and he wished he could get Kieran over
and tear him to pieces right now.
Under Terrence’s pressure, Alexa had to end the treatment ahead of time. She bought

some
medicine for the flu and took a taxi back.
Kieran was not surprised when he learned that Alexa had been discharged from the
hospital.
He did not even raise his head as he wrote the medical record and instructed the servant
in an
orderly manner.
“Make another meal and send it to her place. Make your purpose clear and don’t let
others. misunderstand.”
“Yes, Mr. Powell.”
Half an hour later, Terrence, who was sitting at the dining table, watched with a gloomy
face as Alexa showed up at the door.
Alexa changed her shoes and went upstairs. She ignored Terrence.
Terrence could not bear it any longer and stood up to walk toward her. His tall shadow
covered
Alexa.
“Please get out of my way, thank you.”
Terrence did not say a word and simply snatched the bag from her hand.
There was just some medicine for the flu inside.
Terrence’s face turned gloomier. He threw the bag aside and grabbed Alexa’s wrist.
“You have to make it clear today. Why did you go to Kieran?”
Alexa was pulled upstairs by Terrence. When she realized that Terrence was going to take
her to the room, she broke down.
“Let go of me! Let go!!”
Alexa fell to the ground and desperately pulled Terrence.
But the gap between their strength was great, so Alexa couldn’t break free from his
grasp.
Suddenly, Terrence felt a heart-wrenching pain in his palm.
