Chapter 6 - If I die, what will you do?

Alice sat on the chair, her eyes looking at the fine needle that was about to be inserted into her veins, and her serious look made that nurse a little embarrassed.

Looking at Alice's calm gaze, she couldn't help but say, "You can turn your head if you're scared, so it won't hurt."

"It's fine, you can smoke." She remained calm, her gaze tightening as she watched the syringe draw thin strands of blood out of her veins into that test tube.

Before she could finish pumping, the mobile phone on her body vibrated joyfully.

Alice jumped and a tingling pain shot through her arm. The nurse hastily pressed it down for her, which prevented the blood from flowing back.

Alice also breathed a sigh of relief and took the phone out of her bag to answer it, his name was already flashing on the screen, and before she could speak when she got through, the other side asked directly.

"Where are you?"

"The hospital, not feeling well." She answered briefly.

The other side didn't ask any more questions and just said, "You have two hours, come back immediately."

She had some doubts in her mind, except that the phone had already hung up on the other side.

She looked at the screen and took it back into her bag with another expressionless face, raising her eyes to see the nurse's measuring gaze from across the room.

Alice tugged lightly at the corner of her mouth and explained, "Work."

"I see." She spoke softly, watching the vial fill up before she moved to pull the needle out, incidentally using a cotton swab to help her against it.

Alice took it and pressed it in herself, then looked at the nurse and asked, "Can I leave now?"

"We'll let you know when the report from the blood test comes back." The nurse looked away, her tone flat and bland. Without another word, Alice took her things and left the place.

When she hurried back, she went straight to his office, where he was sitting peacefully, not even lifting his eyelids when he saw her coming.

Alice slowly walked over and looked at him suspiciously, "Is there something urgent?"

"No." He replied calmly, only getting up from his chair because she was back, explaining in passing, "Kathy is back, you come with me to get it."

She paused, an inexplicable feeling of resistance in her heart, but still no expression on her face, "Why do you need to call me for such a thing."

Tony was stopped by her question and looked back at Alice, asking, "You are her sister, isn't it proper for you to see your sister? Is it hard to say that you are too guilty to go for a visit?"

She indeed did not want to go, not dared but did not want to, as for the guilt, she unconsciously showed a cold smile, which made Tony give a start, and then walked to her side as if nothing had happened, "Let's go."

Alice also thought clearly, so also no longer resisted, indifferently asked, "Do you need me to prepare anything?"

"The car." He said succinctly.

Alice turned away, some weakness in her arms, but it did not affect the strength itself.

She pulled her car out of the garage just as Tony emerged from the middle of the building.

He opened the back door and got in himself. Alice took a look and drove the car away directly, the road was smooth, she looked ahead and the car drove steadily.

Tony did not make a sound and Alice did not say something, there was no communication between the two, as if they were from two worlds.

The silence was broken by a mobile phone in her arms. Tony glanced at her and then averted his gaze, and Alice took the phone out and pressed it to her ear.

The other side asked for her name and Alice answered before hearing the other side say in a slow voice, "According to the blood test report, you are now one month pregnant."

She suddenly slammed on the brakes and both of them lurched forward due to inertia. He was about to explode in anger when he suddenly heard her pale face, with a certain panic in her eyes.

"We suspect that you also have blood cancer, if you are free you can come over here for a specific examination."

The other side of the phone finished the matter and she gasped in horror and asked, "What did you say?"

The phone slipped out of her hand as the other side repeated it again, and she looked at her hand with a vacant gaze, as if she could see the veins in it through that layer of skin.

Tony kicked the back of her chair and said impatiently, "What are you doing, why don't you drive now? If you miss the chance and don't get Cathy, what should we do!"

She picked the phone up and put it back to her ear, saying in a very soft and gentle tone, "I know, please arrange it for me."

Only after the phone hung up did she start driving again, Alice was a little flustered and overwhelmed, and for the first time in her life she began to struggle with whether she wanted to live or die.

The hand holding the steering wheel couldn't help but tremble as she looked at the road ahead, her lower lip bitten to the point of turning white. But Tony didn't know any of this.

She stared at the road ahead and suddenly asked softly and quietly, "If I die, what will you do?"
