    When Alice heard the words "family," she couldn''t help but feel it was absurd. She thought the same way in her past life. But just before she was about to im the championship, she got reced by Chloe. What kind of family was that?


    Alice decisively replied, “I''m not nning to join the team; I want to focus on my studies and prepare for exams."


    Luke shot back sarcastically, “Oh, but you were begging me to teach you how to y games, chasing me at night for training, and saying you wanted to be a full member. Why didn''t you mention studying then?”


    A familiar ache tugged at Alice''s heart. The reason she chased after her sixth brother to y games was to build a better rtionship and have moremon topics to discuss! But now, that seemed unnecessary.


    Alice replied, "It''s just that ying games has been affecting my studies; my scores dropped a lot in thest monthly exam, so I don''t want to continue gaming."


    Luke was speechless."Fine. Don''t regret it. When thepetition starts, outsiders will only see Chloe and think she''s the real member of the Welch family."


    If Alice was so ungrateful, then so be it; he didn''t care.


    "That''s fine," Alice didn''t want to waste more words and turned to leave the dining hall.


    Back in her room, she adjusted her emotions and started focusing on her homework, refreshing her memory on the knowledge she had forgotten.


    The next day after school, Alice and Chloe arrived at the school gates. The driver waited outside.


    Chloe stood in front of the car and said, “I''m heading to the training camp. The driver needs to take me there first; we won''t be going the same way.”


    The driver, with a stern face, stated, "Miss, I received a call from Mr. Welch. I need to take Miss ck there first. I can''t waste time."


    Alice didn''t care."I''ll take a taxi."


    Chloe got into the car, a hint of excitement in her eyes."Alice, I''ll talk to Luketer."


    Alice turned and walked away.


    Chloe watched her go, biting her lip.


    “Alice, just wait. One day I''ll take everything from you! This is what you owe me!" Alice stood by the roadside, feeling a bit disinterested in returning to the Welch family. Maybe she should look for a study room nearby.


    “Hey kid, why are you just hanging around after school instead of going home?"


    Alice turned and saw a handsome man, momentarily stunned until she recognized him. It was the sharp– tongued school doctor. He usually wore a mask and a white coat, but now he was dressed differently, almost unrecognizable.


    Jack stood in front of her. "I''m talking to you."


    "I don''t want to go home right now. I want to find a study room to do my homework."


    "Come with me."

    She ended up at the school''s infirmary, standing at the door: "Why are we here? I''m already better."


    Jack gestured to the desk."It''s quieter and safer than a study hall.”


    After thinking it over, Alice realized he had a point. She set her backpack down:“Thanks.” She took out her books and began studying. Jack nced at her, his gaze cold, then turned and went to the consultation room, shutting the door behind him. When Alice came back to her senses, she noticed it was gettingte.


    She saw


    a namete with the doctor''s photo; so


    "Have you seen enough?”


    his name


    was Jack Wilson.


    Alice was caught off guard, her face turning red as she quickly put the namete back “I wasn''t snooping. I just saw it by ident."


    "Have

    “Yes, but for some of the harder questions, I''ll ask the teacher Jack took her notebook. “You couldn''t solve those simple problems?" Alice felt a bit discouraged, looking down at her textbook:“I wasn''t focused. I other things."
