Dream or Not: A Devil or An Angel

Chapter 2: Back To The Xu Family

"Why... Why are you here?" 'Did he see me lying here and decide to take his revenge?'   

In the novel, there weren't many things that were said before the hero went abroad. She only got to read a few flashbacks, so Alina had no idea what would happen next.

Looking at her surprised and defensive position, Sheffield raised the corners of lips and lowered his head slightly. His long eyelashes and messy hair made it difficult for her to see what he was thinking.

Suddenly, he said, "What a coincidence." 

His cold words made the hairs on Alina's neck stand up. Alaina was stupid to take this man as a weak sheep, that was for sure! 

Realizing that the male lead was warning her, Alina quickly plastered a smile on her face. "It was just an accident, purely accidental." She waved her hands exasperatedly, breaking out of character.   

This time, Sheffield finally looked up at Alina. He pursed his lips, confused at her reaction.

Alaina had always been arrogant and mean when they were alone. In fact, never once had she shown such a sweet smile directed at him. If it hadn't been for the fact that she looked just like her, he would've thought that he entered the wrong room.   

'Did the fall change her overall temperament?' Sheffield furrowed his eyebrows.

Faced with his questioning gaze, Alina's heart raced in her chest. Would he suspect her for breaking out of character? Was that even possible?   

She shook the thought away. No one would believe this anyway. Although the hero was clever, he'd never figure out that she wasn't Alaina at all.

The idea made her all the more confident. "It's getting late," she said calmly. "You'd better go back home, little brother."   

'I just called him little brother!' she thought with amazement.

Alina saw his eyes twitched, and he was stunned at the way she addressed him. After a while, he turned and left, without saying another word.   

The ward was quiet once again, giving more time for different thoughts to race through her mind.

The only reason why the leading man hated Alaina and Wendy was because they didn't treat him well. In fact, they were very manipulative in the novel. If she'd be a good sister and take care of her brother from now on, maybe the hero would sympathize with her. Maybe then, they could become a happy and healthy family.   

If only her dream would come true! Alina wasn't one to care so much of her money or fame. She was extremely confident in her ability to earn a living. Now, all she wanted was to keep the hero out of her trail.

Besides, according to his age, they still had a few more years left before the main plot. Their relationship could be improved still! 

Although the road was hard, she believed she could do it. 

Time went by quickly. In the past four days, Eric had only visited twice, while Wendy visited every day with various bowls of soup and congee.   

Although it was easy to digest them, Alina usually found herself rushing to the toilet if she had too much. Fortunately, her body had only suffered minor injuries, so she had no problem with getting up and going to the toilet.

Today was the day that she'd be reexamined. If everything went well, she'd be able to go home. Since Alina was a VIP patient, the examination results came out fast.

The doctor informed them that she was fine and that she could be discharged anytime soon.

Alina almost jumped from her chair at the sound of that. Although the room was incredible, she'd die of boredom if she spent one more day in there.
