Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Carson's phone call was like a timely rain on a drought-stricken land. Frederick choked on his sob, cleared his throat, and said, "Thank you..." Did that mean Ally can still be cured? Thank god, there was hope! No! Not just hope. She would definitely be cured! Technology was so advanced now. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would hold on to it with both hands.

"From now onwards, I will invest at least 100 million dollars more into your laboratory every year!" As long as he could afford it, he would not hesitate to pour money into the project.

That was the first tthat Frederick had experienced complete despair. Money was easy. One could always earn it back. Curing an illness was completely different. No matter how much money or status one had, it was powerless against nature. Suddenly he remembered Danica, someone struggling against disease as well. It even happened in the blink of an eye.

Although the two women could not be compared, they were both people he knew. Sickness did not discriminate. Frederick remembered too his late mother and his old granny, even his father had one foot in the grave. He thought also of Alicia's parents and many more who had close relationships with him.

At that moment, the overwhelming feeling of loss filled his heart again.

After hanging up the phone, Frederick felt his spirits improve again. His rollercoaster-like emotions left him feeling a little dizzy. He raised his hand to block out the dazzling sunshine, but the corners of his mouth gradually relaxed a little. Now the most urgent thing was to prevent the exacerbation of Alicia's illness before they could find a cure! They couldn't let her suffer any more unwanted symptoms. He was afraid she'll forget him! Whenever he thought about how his lover could possibly forget who he was or would look at him with an extremely unfamiliar gaze, Frederick would feel like part of his soul was leaving him. His lover was already deeply engraved in his heart. Unconsciously, he laid his hand on his chest and patted it a few times, "It will be fine. It must be fine!" After consoling himself, Frederick thought of something and picked up his car keys. "I almost forgot. Carson's medicine should have arrived. It was also tfor him to have a checkup, and get his injection!" As much as she wanted, Alicia could not fall pregnant. Her immune system would not be able to handle it. Even if she was so eager to have a baby...

It must be concealed from her that he had inoculated Spermicide. Otherwise, she would definitely be sad if she knew He kept the fact that he was being injected with a special spermicidal shot. It would break her heart if she found out.! Walking out, Frederick's mind was preoccupied, his emotions were all over the place. He listened to the nurse in a daze. What she said went in one ear and out the other. However, he did manage to catch a specific sentence, "Please cand get your second injection after seven days!" When the nurse handed him his prescription, Frederick thought he was being reminded about his second appointment. He did not pay careful attention to it and replied absent-mindedly, "Okay". He immediately stuffed the transcript into his pocket.

He was in such a haze that he didn't even remember how he got out of the consulting room.

After returning to his office, he discussed with Carson in detail again. When he left, Frederick obviously felt much more relaxed.

When he walked out of the hospital, the sky was already getting darker. He picked up his cell phone and was just about to call Alicia when an anonymous number lit up.

He paused, anger suddenly rising up in him, along a sliver of sorrow and sympathy. He could not help but think about Danica as well as her own illness. Was she in pain too? He let it ring and did not pick up.

Whether or not it was her, he didn't have the tor effort to deal with it at that moment.

As expected, the anonymous caller kept calling. It strengthened his conviction that it was probably Danica on the line.

As he was reaching Alicia's shop, Frederick suddenly noticed smessages in his inbox. He clicked on it and suddenly hit the brakes.

[I heard that she had fainted? Aren't you worried?] [Do you want to know why?] [I've already said that you will regret it! If I couldn't get one thing, no one could too!] A burst of car honks sounded behind him and jerked him back to his senses. Frederick blearily realized that his car had been blocking the other cars. The light had turned green and he could vaguely hear the other drivers yelling complaints at him. He quickly started driving and found a parking spot. He stopped and stared at his phone again.

That number? Was it really Danica? What was she trying to say? Did Alicia's condition have something to do with her? As soon as the thought cto his mind, Frederick felt cold shivers run down his spine. This scheming woman! He spared her and she still dared to harm his beloved ones? "Why didn't I kill her earlier?" He clenched his fists so tightly that his joints cracked. Frederick powered through his regret. He had already taken precautions, so where did she find an opportunity to carry out her plan? To think he had already sent her to an isolated island and doomed her to loneliness. Was it too little too late? As those thoughts swirled across Frederick's mind, he took a deep breath. He said to himself, "Could she be only acting for attention?" Picking up his phone, he dialed Chet's number and enquired, "No? Not even a single tduring this period of time?" Not knowing the answer, Chet left to find out before calling him back again.

"I've already checked with the three groups of people. Alicia's schedule is also pre-planned, she did not have contact with Danica nor any strangers. That day when she

fainted, her takeaways were not only for herself. As for Danica, she has been having therapy in the hospital and seldom goes out. She's Being! closely monitored, as long as there's any news, we should be able to detect it in advance. These days, all the messages that we have intercepted were for you. Frederick, what's with the questions? Do you think that Alicia's illness has something to do with her?" After a pause, Chet continued.

"I don't think it's possible! Aside from the fact that they didn't have any contact, even if she used drugs, it' of even if would've taken her stto purchase. Yet we didn't notice an abnormality in her movements! Although she often goes to the ve been hospital, she wouldn't have able to obtain it without being detected. Master Vives' subordinates would have noticed it. So how could they develop the drugs in such a short time?" His hospital was full of elites patients, their reputation was as great as other public hospitals.

Therefore, it sounded a little unbelievable.

"That's true. I've thought about it too! It doesn't make any sense."

If it had something to do with her, if it e a why did she not mention anything at first but chose to pesten him like a fly? But it had nothing to do with her, why would she say something like that? The fact was, there were unidentifiable traces in Alicia's blood! X
