That day, when Henry picked Alicia up after class, she caught a glimpse of his profile, and it reminded her a little of Charlie.

That day was her birthday, a day she used to celebrate with Richard, Charlie, and Rosalie. Ever since they’d all left her, she never celebrated her birthday again.

When Henry saw her, he wished her a happy birthday. For her, it felt like forever since anyone had last said those words.

He also told her, “If you’re ever tired, just look back. I’ll always be behind you.”

At that moment, Alicia just wanted someone to lean on. She didn’t want to be alone anymore; she craved the comfort of having someone close. So when Henry confessed his feelings to her that day, she agreed.

But now, Henry was standing behind Tiffany, ready to cover for her and clean up every mess she made.

Alicia gave herself a wry, self–mocking smile, got up, washed up, and got ready for school.

After finishing her first class, Alicia checked the time; it was exactly ten in the morning. With only one course today, she headed off to Maplewood General Hospital with Hank.

Harvey led both of them to look into the status of the kidney donor. Thanks to Harvey’s assistance, the kidney matching was handled quickly and efficiently.

Just like her previous life, the kidney turned out to be a perfect match for Sasha.

Harvey turned to Alicia and Hank. “The kidney donor is from Maplewood General Hospital. If your sister wants to have the kidney transplant, she’ll need to be transferred here.”

Hank looked at the hospital, saying, “The hospital fees here must be pretty high, right?”

Harvey noticed Hank’s clothes and pursed his lips. “I can apply for a poverty assistance program for you. The hospital fees will only be 30% of the usual cost, and we can also reduce some of the surgical fees.”

Hank’s eyes filled with tears, and he was about to bow in gratitude.

Harvey quickly stopped him. “You don’t need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank Ms. Lawrence. I’m just helping her. Without her, I wouldn’t have helped you, or even known you.”

“Alright, just get her transferred as soon as you can,” Harvey said. “I’ll go take care of the paperwork for the kidney match. She’ll need to go through a bunch of tests, so the sooner we get started, the better.”

With that, Harvey left.

Hank turned to Alicia and bowed. “Thank you, Alicia.”

Alicia shook her head. “No need to thank me. We’re just making a deal. Just don’t forget our arrangement.”

“Trust me. I won’t,” Hank replied.

Alicia didn’t go with Hank to the other hospital. Instead, she headed back to school; she still had to help Gloria clean the music room later that afternoon.

Alicia was sure Hank would get all the transfer paperwork done.

Just after Alicia got back to school, Brooke turned up again with lunch in hand for her.

Alicia took the lunch, letting out a small sigh. ‘There’s really no point bringing this up with Brooke, she thought to herself. ‘I’m going to have to talk to Charles about it directly!

After Brooke left, Alicia sat at the edge of the garden and pulled out her phone, hesitating for a moment as she tried to figure out how to text Charles.

After thinking it over, she figured, ‘Every time I just get straight to the point. Maybe I should start with something a little more polite this time, Alicia mused to herself.

So, she sent a message: [Mr. Yates, have you eaten yet?]

At that moment, Charles’s new secretary had just brought his lunch into his office.

Charles was about to start eating when Alicia’s message popped up on his phone. Instantly, his face softened, and a gentle smile appeared. He couldn’t help it whenever he heard from her.

Charles snapped a quick photo of his lunch and sent it over: [Just about to eat. What about you?]

Alicia looked at her lunch and blinked in surprise; it was exactly the same as Charles’s. She replied: [I’m about to eat, too.]

Charles: [Better eat up before it gets cold.]

Alicia glanced at his message and felt a little awkward. ‘Is that really all? Well, if I’ve got something to say, I guess I’d better just get straight to the point,‘ she thought to herself.

So, she sent another message: [Mr. Yates, my illness has cleared up, so you really don’t have to send me lunch anymore.]

Charles glanced at her message, lingered for a few seconds, then asked: [What’s up?]

Alicia: [Honestly, it’s kind of inconvenient. I’m not always at school during lunch, and as long as I eat on time, my stomach’s fine now.

[There’s really no need for Brooke to keep running around just to bring me food every day.]

Charles couldn’t help but picture her at that small diner the day she got out of the hospital, the way she looked, relaxed and at ease, finally enjoying a real meal.

‘She must’ve gotten tired of that upscale Noble Leaf Bistro food,‘ he mused.

So, he gently replied: [Alright.]

Alicia couldn’t help but chuckle when she read his message.

‘Should I pay Mr. Yates back for those meals? But if I keep bringing up money all the time, would he get annoyed?‘ she mused. ‘Honestly, this amount probably means nothing to him.

‘Maybe it’s better to just pay him back in some other way later. Forget it–no need to mention the bill right

now.‘

She texted back: [Okay, enjoy your lunch.]

Charles replied almost instantly with a single word: [Okay.]

“Alicia?” Just as Alicia put her phone down, she heard someone call her name from behind. She turned and saw Gloria standing not too far away.

Alicia quickly stood up. “Hello, Mrs. Clifford.”

Gloria glanced at the lunch Alicia was holding; it was from Noble Leaf Bistro.

Gloria had heard a bit about the incident at Dining Hall West. ‘She probably doesn’t want to go back there and deal with all the whispers from the other students,’ Gloria thought.
