    Jack''s eyes were dark and cold, radiating arrogance.


    The trainer, angered, said, “[Why should I apologize? You should thank me for warning you about these gold- digging women!]"


    Jack narrowed his eyes; his hand was about to move, but Alice grabbed it.


    Stepping forward, she red at the trainer.“[You must have been scammed badly. You hate women so much; why don''t you crawl back into your mother''s womb? Don''t embarrass yourself.]” He hated women, yet he was born of one.


    The trainer''s face changed."[Say that again?]”


    "[Didn''t you say women are gold diggers? Your mother''s a gold digger then? She scammed your father, right? And then birthed you, this disgusting man.]"


    When facing false usations, never fall into the trap of self-justification.


    Alice''s words enraged him. The owner pushed the trainer."[Enough! Want to go to jail? There are cameras.]"


    The trainer red at Alice and stormed off. The owner apologized to Jack and Alice.“[I didn''t expect him to be like this. I should have dealt with that client earlier.]"


    No one expected this to happen.


    Jack''s expression was grim; he didn''t speak.


    Alice quickly said, "[I understand.


    These things happen. It''s not your fault


    "[Ms. Alice, thank you for your understanding.]"


    Jack suddenly said, "[That''s it?]"


    The owner was confused. He looked at the boxing trainer, who coughed.“[This happened at our gym; we shouldpensate Ms. Alice waive her fees.]”


    “[Right, right. I''m so forgetful.]”


    Alice shook her head.“[No need. If I hadn''t fought back, it would have been over. But I couldn''t let it go.]”


    She couldn''t bear the thought of other girls being harmed.


    Jack said, “[No need to tolerate it. Good job. Don''t let people take advantage of you!]”


    Alice nodded, realizing she was still holding his hand. She awkwardly let go."[You were going to keep fighting!]"


    She''d never seen Jack so angry. Usually calm and aloof, he''d been ruthless. But fighting on camera was unwise. So, she stopped him.


    Jack mumbled,“[They were being disrespectful.]"


    The trainer looked at Jack''s wound."[Sir, get a tetanus shot. It''s a metal cab wound.]" He couldn''t afford any problems for Jack. He wasn''t a professional trainer; he was Jack''s bodyguard. Jack said, "[It''s minor.]" Alice frowned.“[It''s not minor! Go to the hospital.]”

    Jack clearly didn''t want to. The owner said to the trainer, “[Take them to the hospital. Ms. Alice''s hand is cut." Jack grabbed Alice''s hand. “[Injured?]"


    There was a cut on her hand; she hadn''t noticed. Before she could speak, he pulled her.“[Hospital.]”


    “Just some antiseptic.]" No need to go to the hospital.


    But she saw his wound; it was scabbing, but he needed a tetanus shot.


    The trainer drove them to a private hospital. Jack paused at the entrance; he could easily run into acquaintances.


    The trainer said anxiously, “[It''s arranged.]" Jack couldn''t have an incident. Jack went to the director''s office; the floor was cleared. The director arrived with a first-aid kit, surprised to see a girl with Jack."[Your girlfriend''s hurt?]”


    Alice said, "[I''m not his girlfriend.]"


    Jack looked at her, pulling her hand."[She''s injured.]"


    The director nced at Alice''s hand."[This will heal on its own.]"


    Alice blushed."[His arm is injured; a metal cab. He needs a tetanus shot.]" She showed the doctor the wound. The director examined it and gave Jack the shot. He looked at Alice, then Jack.“[Injured saving a damsel in distress? A bit embarrassing.]” This kid, usually so arrogant, was subdued in front of this girl. Rare. Jack, embarrassed, disinfected Alice''s wound after his shot. It stung.


    Alice winced; he raised an eyebrow.“[Painful?]” He was teasing.


    The director coughed."[Go. I''m old; I don''t like this mushy stuff.]”


    Jack, taking Alice''s hand, left the hospital.


    Alice said, "[You know that doctor?]"


    "[Yes.]"


    Alice said, "[Jack, are you rich?]"


    Jack stopped, looking at her, trying to gauge her thoughts. He failed.


    He probed, "[Why?]"


    “[This is a private hospital, owned by the Wilson family. The people here are influential. You know the director.]"


    Alice found it odd.


    Jack coughed."[I''m a doctor. It''s normal to know colleagues.]"


    Alice remembered he was a school doctor.“[Why were you a school doctor?]” The sharp-tongued doctor hadn''t stayed long in her past life.


    Jack nced at the sky."[Personal matters.]"


    Personal


    matters? Alice found him intriguing.“[Do you have secrets?]*


    Jack paused."[Yes.]"

    to catch up."[Why were ran


    you school doctor?]" This was In the car, Jack looked at her.“[So interested in my affairs?]” “I suspect you were an undercover agent at our school.]" "Your imagination is wild. You should be a screenwriter.]” Alice smiled.“[How did you know I wrote scripts?]" She''d written for her brother Lu Caleb in her past life. He was an actor and owned a filmpany, but he always lost money; he needed good scripts. She''d learned to write, but he''d rejected her scripts. One of her scripts had be a huge sess! But he''d imed Chloe was the main writer, she''d only polished it. Her work was stolen again. Chloe had be a star.


    This time.....she wouldn''t give Lu Caleb her script. His drama should be airing soon. And she hadn''t been paid yet! She''d collect with interest!
