Chapter 494

"Miss.Brown, take it slowly. It's burning."

Daniel said.

Alice ignored him and used all her strength to feed herself. After continuously swallowing a few mouthfuls, she felt a wave of nausea rush up, "Uuuuuuuuuu."

A wave of bitterness surged out from her throat.

She had been on hunger strike for so many days that it was extremely difficult to eat again, so she vomited.

"How are you feeling?" Daniel immediately walked to her side and asked worriedly.

"Am I unable to eat?"

Alice looked at Daniel in despair.

She had heard that once a person who went on a hunger strike for too many days, even the hope of reigniting their life would not be able to continue living, because they would no longer be able to eat.

She couldn't die, not yet.

Daniel stood in front of her and gently held her hand. He placed his fingers on her pulse and furrowed his brows slightly, "Miss. Brown, your body is too weak, but you can make through it. So you need to take it slow down."

"Really?"

He was not lying to her.

"Really." Daniel nodded, and pushed the bowl to his, "Try again. Be impatient."

"Alright."

Alice's breath was erratic, and she picked up a spoon and scooped up a spoonful of water, slowly putting it on her lips and drank it down.

She must eat.

William was a petty person. If she died before him, he would de itely scold her again, and abandon her.

"Miss.Brown, I'm so happy that you are willing to eat." Daniel sat down beside her and looked at her with gratitude, "Now I'll take the island, so that you can stay here for a few days to recuperate. After that, I'll send you off."

Alice slowly drank the porridge, looked up at him, and shook her head, "I'm not going. Steward Frank, William might not be dead yet." "What?"

Daniel was stunned.

She said William had died before, but now she said young master was still alive.

"Patrick came back to find me tonight. He was the one who said it." Alice said weakly.

Daniel frowned, "Do you believe what he said?"

"I'd rather believe it."

At least, that was a huge hope for her.

"That's true. If we believe him, there's still a little motivation for us." Daniel looked at her and said, "But Miss.Brown, you have to leave. I am the young master's butler, and before I am certain that the young master will pass away, the Cullens will not do anything to me. But you're different. The old master and his wife have never really liked you, so they might very well take advantage of the young master's absence to ..."

"If they really wanted to deal with me, it would be easy. I already have nothing left, unlike when Patrick left and still had the authority of the Browns to start over." Alice drank her porridge and said softly.

Rather than fleeing, she would rather stay with Daniel and look for William.

By the time William returned, her everything would be back.

"Steward Frank, check my body. Even if I have to run for my life, I won't be able to hold on for long." Alice looked at him with a determined gaze, "I want to stay."

Daniel had known Alice for a long time, and knew that although she looked weak, deep down, she was an extremely thoughtful person.

He could only nod.

From now on, let him take the place of the young master to protect this weak girl.

Under Daniel's care, Alice's body recovered bit by bit. When her body started falling again, it grew back really slowly.

She was getting more afraid of the cold, so she always wore a lot of clothes to be comfortable.

In the end, Patrick still ran away.

What awaited him was the endless investigation carried out by the Cullens, as well as the prosperity of the Browns. He would anticipate all those things before he did it.

It had nothing to do with her whether he was good or not.

Alice would completely take him away her life.

At night, Alice was wearing a thick shawl as she leaned against the door and looked up at the lanterns. The lanterns were not put down; they were welcoming the new year.

The night wind was chilly.

"The business on the island has been completed. The search job has been completed. This island was left to you by your mother in her will. After the war, it was no longer so beautiful. I'm sorry."

Daniel stood behind her and said. He was a very British Gentleman Steward, and he always took all the crimes that had nothing to do with him.

"From the moment I set foot on this island, it was no longer beautiful."

Alice said lightly.

If she hadn't followed Patrick back to recognize her master back then, then everything wouldn't have happened.

"Miss.Brown, some of the Miller's subordinates that we captured have to move them. One of Patrick's trusted aides wants to see you before he leaves." Daniel said, "It's that man with a scar on his forehead."

"He wants to see me?"

"Yes, we've interrogated him about where the core of the Browns is and where Patrick is. No matter what, he never spoke, and only said that he wanted to meet you once."

Daniel said.

Alice looked at Daniel in shock.

Leon, why does he want to see her?

Ten minutes later, Alice saw Leon and was escorted to the beach. The lights of the yacht beside the ocean were all on, waiting for them to leave.

Leon's hands and feet were cuffed. His clothes were all messed up as he looked extremely pathetic. He had his head lowered, looking just like a prisoner.

Alice walked towards him against the cold night wind.

"I still remember that he is quite skilled. I had always wanted to fight with him, but who would have thought that he would actually be the accomplice of evil." Daniel walked behind Alice and sighed.

Alice looked at Leon, who had also saved her and helped her before.

At that time, when William ordered his bodyguards to surround her, it was him who saved her with a dagger, one against ten.

When he thought about it, he felt like he was in a dream.

"Don't kill him." Alice heard her own low voice ring out, "He's only following orders."

He really listened to Patrick's words.

Otherwise, he could have just left her that day. With his abilities, it would have been easy for him to escape, but he was forcefully dragged by her to such a state just for an order.

"sure."

Daniel nodded.

Alice walked towards Leon and stood in front of him, quietly looking at him. Her voice was carried away by the night wind, "Are you looking for me?"

The wind by the sea was especially strong.

He stood there miserably with several bloody wounds on his face. The wind was so strong that it hurt to look at it.

Hearing that, Leon slowly raised his head. There was an obvious scar on his forehead, and he nodded with difficulty.

"What are you trying to say?" Alice asked with an indifferent voice, "Do you want me to help you out so that you can get free?"

She couldn't think of any reason why Leon would look for her at this time.

"Did the Mr.Miller really escape? If he doesn't take you away, how can he be willing?"

His voice was weak as he asked this question, but there was no trace of the extremely skilled expression on his face.

Alice looked at him in surprise. She never thought that he would still be thinking about Patrick.

"He can't take me with him because I stabbed him. So he left alone." Alice said honestly, "I have already broken off all ties with him, so it has nothing to do with me whether he is dead or alive."

She no longer resented it.

Hate required strength as well.

"What?" Leon shook his head and looked at Alice in astonishment, then his eyes dimmed, "So that's how it is."

"You still care about him? Don't you hate him for not coming to save you?" Daniel stood at the side and asked, "If you are willing to hand over Patrick's location or the core of the Browns, I can grant you your freedom."

Leon stood there, not moving at all.

After a long while, he closed his eyes and looked at Alice, "Miss. Brown, I have accompanied Mr. Miller for a long time, so I might be more clear than you on what kind of person he is."

Alice looked at him indifferently.

"In your eyes, Mr.Miller has done many things to hurt you." Leon was heavily injured, and said with some difficulty, "But, you can never deny, in terms of relationship, that you owe Mr. Miller."

Alice turned around.

"Mr.Miller's eye disease recurs. He's about to lose his sight."

Leon said.

Alice turned and looked at him in shock." What did you say?"

What do you mean going blind?

"Mr.Miller is such a gentle and stubborn man. He had always been good to you and never thought of taking from you. When you hated him, why didn't you think about why he suddenly changed and got so close to you? It's because he's about to become completely blind. He knows that the moment he goes blind, it's impossible for him to defeat William, much less stay with you."

Alice listened in a daze. In the darkness of the night, her face turned pale white.

Patrick was going blind.

Once his eye disease recurs, he will go completely blind.

"Why didn't he tell me?" Alice asked in a daze.

"Because he doesn't want your sympathy. He just wants your love." The Leon said bitterly, "But obviously, the Mr.Miller is too stupid, he failed his last fight."

Alice stood there, speechless.

"Congratulations young miss, you have finally gotten your revenge."

Leon laughed bitterly, "So what if Browns is rich and prosperous? In the future, Mr. Miller will spend his entire life in the darkness and experience your hatred and determination everyday. This is a torture that is more painful than death. Oh, right, he had already expected this outcome, but he still had to do it. It was really stupid.

It didn't seem like he was fighting, but instead, it seemed like he was completely giving up himself. What do you think?"

"Enough." Daniel looked at Alice's pale face and stopped the doctor from continuing, "Take him to the boat and go."

"Yes, Steward Frank."

Leon was taken away.

Alice stood by the seaside, facing the chilly sea breeze. She unable to warm her even with the clothes, but she only felt extremely cold.

She looked at the sea under the night sky. Her eyes were sore, but she could not shed a single tear.

He had long guessed this outcome, but he still had to do it. It was really stupid, he didn't seem like he was fighting, but instead, it seemed like he was completely giving up.
