4562 The Other Side 531
Alice had never told him.
Why? Was she afraid that he would feel guilty if he found out? Perhaps, she did not want this matter to tie him down for the rest of his life!
If it had been any other woman, she might have told him about this and made him feel guilty. That way, her love would be justified.
So…
!!
What if it were himself? If he had sacrificed so much for someone, would he really remain silent?
Up until now, Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ was the only person whom he would unconditionally make sacrifices for. In the past, he would never have dared to imagine that he’d so easily sacrifice his own cornea for her. Previously, he didn’t dare entertain the thought. He even felt that he’d never do this. However, when the moment came, he did it without any hesitation.
So…
If the same situation happened again, and the other party was Gong Jie this time round, would he do the same?
To be honest…
He didn’t know if he could do what Alice had done. Alice’s love for Gong Jie was deep and selfless. For his sake, she had personally led the troops to East Africa to look for him, regardless of the consequences.
Why had she never confessed to Gong Jie, since she loved him so much? What would the man think if he knew about this?
Just as he was deep in thought, Hua Jin heard Alice exclaiming, “You’re thinking about a birthday present at this juncture?”
He snapped back to his senses and looked at Alice.
He noted she was looking at Gong Jie with disdain. “I’ll have to disappoint you on your birthday tomorrow. We’ll make up for it when we get back to Hurricane Island.”
“Hmph, I insist on celebrating.” He lamented, “I had even made plans to celebrate with my sister.”
He was born on the same day as Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+, and his greatest wish was to spend his birthday with her every year.
It seemed that it was going to be impossible this year. The man could not help feeling a little regretful.
“I’ll go check out the FBI sentries at the hospital.” Alice stood up as she said this. She looked around and then said to Hua Jin, “You, stay in the ward obediently, do you hear me?”
“I hear you.”
Alice walked out with her troops. The actor stared at Gong Jie’s back view, momentarily dazed. He was debating whether he should tell him about this. This was not because he was nosy. The point was, the man had the right to know who had risked their lives to save him back then.
It wasn’t that he wanted to fight for Alice, he only wanted Gong Jie to know that she had paid such a high price for him. This was Gong Jie’s right. It was also Alice’s obligation.
Similarly… He wanted to be sure of one thing.
Hua Jin suddenly mustered his courage and walked up to Gong Jie, then took the seat opposite him.
Gong Jie’s knuckles stiffened as he held the teacup in his hand. He looked at the man in a daze, feeling that the latter had something important to tell him.
“What’s the matter?”
“I think Alice is actually quite a good person.”
Gong Jie looked bewildered. He was rather stumped by this sentence that came out of nowhere.
“Yes, I know she’s a good person.”
“What about you? How do you feel about her?” Hua Jin probed.
The man’s lips twitched. “What do you mean how I feel about her?”
“You’ve always treated her like a good friend?”
The man pondered for a moment before replying seriously, “We’re more like comrades-in-arms than friends.”
“Comrades?” Revolutionary camaraderie? Hua Jin could not help shuddering.
