Of course, there's a problem.
Letting a man live with her sister-in-law, isn't that creating an opportunity for the man to pursue his sister-in-law?
However, she couldn't let her sister-in-law know about this idea.
The man was hiding so well, her sister-in-law would definitely think she was overthinking.
Bianca's eyes flickered, then shook her head reluctantly, "No problem, I'm just curious."
Bianca always acted unpredictably. Alessia didn't think much about it and turned to walk back to the ward.
It was time for her to see her grandmother too.
Bianca watched Alessia enter the ward, suddenly without any warning, let go of Riley's hand.
Riley had never thought of relying on Bianca, so Bianca's playful actions had no effect on him.
There was no ripple in Riley's gentle fox eyes. He was easygoing and didn't mind, leaning on his crutch and walking towards the elevator.
"Hey..." Bianca, seeing Riley ignoring her provocation, angrily followed in her high heels.
When they finally walked side by side, she proudly lifted her chin and threatened, "You can't move to my sister-in-law's house?"
"Former sister-in-law," Riley corrected.
Bianca's face fell, feeling a bit frustrated.
Her sister-in-law actually told the man about their past, but she wouldn't give up easily.
Bianca quickly regained her confidence and puffed out her chest, "Even if she's a former sister-in-law, she's still a sister-in-law. My brother and my sister-in-law will remarry sooner or later, so you're not allowed to move in."
The voices of the two grew fainter as their footsteps receded...
Meanwhile.
Alessia entered the ward and saw the Old Lady Carter lying on the bed. As soon as the old lady saw her, she reached out her hand.
"Sia, you're here."
"Grandma." Alessia approached and held the Old Lady Carter's hand.
Old Lady Carter said, "Sia, tonight's incident must have upset you."
"Grandma, I'm fine." Alessia shook her head.
Then Clara sneered, "Mom, how could she be upset? I told you earlier not to use the medicine from the rural girl, but you didn't listen. Today was just lucky that nothing happened. If something really happened, even ten Alessia's wouldn't be able to compensate."
However, before Clara finished his sarcastic words, a pillow was thrown at her, hitting her on the head.
"Mom!" Clara held her head, looking resentfully at Grandma Carter.
Grandma Carter's expression was stern, pointing to the door, "Get out."
"Mom, are you kicking me out?" Clara pointed at herself, looking incredulous.
However, Grandma Carter's actions remained unchanged, saying again, "Get out."
The message couldn't be clearer.
Clara trembled with anger, not daring to argue with Grandma Carter, and could only give Alessia a fierce look before turning and leaving.
Now, there were only Alessia, Grandma Carter, and Dominic left in the ward.
Dominic hadn't said a word throughout, just standing quietly on the side. Even so, his strong aura couldn't be ignored by anyone.
Alessia's emotions were stirred. Although she didn't need it, she was still touched that her grandmother stood up for her. She said, "Grandma, I'm also at fault. I didn't expect that the pill would cause such a strong reaction after you took it."
The pill was highly stimulating, causing double the pain and such swelling in the legs was unexpected.
"Silly girl, what does this have to do with you? If you want to blame someone, blame Clara for making a fuss." Grandma Carter didn't mind, her face full of kindness.
Alessia stayed in the ward until Grandma Carter fell asleep before leaving.
She tiptoed out of the ward and found that Dominic had been sitting at the door of the ward the whole time, not leaving.
At this moment, when Dominic heard movement, he stood up and said, "I'll take you to the hospital entrance."
Rarely getting along peacefully, Alessia didn't refuse.
There was silence all the way until they reached the hospital entrance, and it wasn't until Alessia was about to get into the car that Dominic spoke, "I'll make it up to you for tonight. What compensation do you want?"
Alessia instantly understood that Dominic felt indebted to her for curing his grandmother's legs and that Clara had wrongly accused her. He wanted to compensate her, so they would be even.
This man really thinks highly of himself.
Although everything she did was for her grandmother, after hearing this arrogant man's words, she also wanted to disgust him a little.
Alessia spoke up, "You can't afford the compensation I want."
Dominic instantly understood. Alessia was referring to Christopher. His strong eyebrows raised slightly, "Except Christopher, I can fulfill any other conditions you propose. Think about it carefully."
Coincidentally, except for Christopher, she didn't want to mention any other requests.
Alessia raised an indifferent almond eye, "Then it's unnecessary."
After saying that, she got into the car, closed the door, and the car disappeared without a trace, showing no intention of looking back.
Dominic watched the car disappear into the night, his brow furrowing.
David, who had been following behind Dominic, suddenly felt like laughing because he confirmed that their CEO had been rejected.
Miss La Rosa was indeed someone who dared to leave a one-cent coin to insult their CEO, truly extraordinary.
...
The next morning, Alessia arrived at the hospital as agreed.
She pushed open the door of the ward and saw someone lying on the hospital bed, covered by a blanket, so she couldn't see the face.
It's already nine o'clock, and he is still sleeping?
Alessia approached, about to call out to Riley, when the person on the bed suddenly stretched and yawned, pulling the blanket off to reveal a head of red hair and a delicate face.
The woman had delicate features and smooth skin, unmistakably Bianca.
Bianca slept in Riley's bed last night! This piece of information seemed significant.
Alessia squinted her eyes, glanced around the ward, and heard movement from the bathroom.
Then the bathroom door opened, and a tall figure walked out, it was Riley.
"You're here." Riley smiled gently, wiping his hands with a tissue, "I've already completed the discharge procedures. We can leave now."
Alessia nodded, looking at Bianca on the bed, about to speak, but Bianca had already opened her eyes and sat up.
Bianca, still drowsy, put on her shoes and walked to the door first. Halfway there, she turned around and urged, "Why aren't you leaving?"
She's still half asleep!
Alessia looked at Bianca. "Where are you going?"
Bianca replied nonchalantly, "Of course, I'm going home with you. I haven't seen Christian and Elle for a few days."
Bianca's words found no fault. Alessia glanced at Riley and then picked up his luggage and left first.
Behind her, Bianca turned around, provocatively smiling at Riley leaning on his cane, mouthing, "I'll be watching you."
A hint of helplessness flickered in Riley's fox-like eyes, almost imperceptibly.
Alessia drove back home and introduced Riley to Christian and Elle.
The two kids were very enthusiastic about meeting their uncle for the first time, but Bianca looked disgusted.
Who knows who's disgusted with whom.
Alessia relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief. Her phone rang again.
"Sia, are you free today? Your aunt still wants to invite you to dinner to apologize. Nolan was hit by your uncle yesterday because of you."
The cautious voice of Ava came through the phone.
In the past few days, Ava had almost been calling every day to bring up this matter. Annoyed by it, it seemed that if she didn't agree, they would call her every day.
Besides, she also wanted to see what the Ramirez family wanted from her this time.
After all, she really didn't believe that Nolan would apologize to her.
Alessia frowned and agreed, "Okay, what time?"
On the phone, Ava seemed surprised that she had agreed so quickly. She paused before saying, "Is 6 o'clock okay? I've reserved a table at the Restaurant for you. They have good food there."
"Okay." After agreeing, Alessia hung up the phone.
That evening, at six o'clock.
Alessia went alone to the Restaurant.
As she entered the private room, she saw Harrison, Margaret, and Nolan already seated, and there was also a woman of similar age to Bianca sitting in one of the seats.
Alessia speculated that this should be the cousin that Ava mentioned, Jessie Ramirez.
This Jessie seemed different from the other members of the Ramirez family. As soon as she saw Alessia, she got up and approached her.
"Are you my cousin, Alessia? I'm Jessie. Nice to meet you."
Alessia nodded, and the woman came over, shaking her hand familiarly, and whispered in her ear, "Sia, I really like you because you're the first person to make Nolan suffer."
After saying that, Jessie withdrew at just the right moment.
This feeling of sharing a little secret between girlfriends seemed to instantly bring them closer.
Alessia's eyes flickered, looking at Nolan sitting in the seat, and saw that his face was indeed very ugly. He drank water continuously, his face turning blue, as if suppressing his anger.
She could sense that Nolan and Jessie didn't get along.
