Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 116

Knowing that the "as usual" he mentioned would allow her to live in her mother's house, Alicia batted her long eyelashes and felt a surge of happiness in her. She couldn't help but grin, enjoying the feeling of being loved.

"I did not, did I?" Was she disobedient?

He didn't dare to agree with her, thus he just touched her nose and raised her chin. Frederick lowered his head to give her a lingering kiss.

"I like obedient women!"

"Alright!"

The two figures intertwined as they were like a pair of lovers who didn't want to let go of each other.

They lay on the bed while cuddling, enjoying each other's presence, and didn't fall asleep until midnight.

The next day, Alicia got up early on purpose to prepare a scrumptious breakfast for Frederick.

After having breakfast, she sent him off at the doorand helped him to fix his coat meticulously. At that moment, she was just like a perfect, loving wife.

"Hubby, please come back safely. Be careful!"

It was just a simple sentence, but it warmed Frederick's heart. It was a common thing for him to go on a business trip, but it was his first time having someone who cared deeply about him.

Although he had always hated women, in reality, there was no one that was more interested and eager to have a family than him!

An indelible memory was carved in Frederick's heart this time.

He hooked his muscular arms around her waist, then lowered his head to peck on her lips. Then, he walked out of the door.

As soon as Frederick left, Alicia instinctively felt relaxed. After work, she headed back to her mother's house without forgetting to send a message to Frederick to ask about him.

Knowing that he had arrived safely and everything had gone smoothly, she demanded him to take care of himself. She even ordered him to always update her about his whereabouts. Then, she quickly ended their call.

On the other end of the line, Frederick, who was feeling exhausted, was holding his phone in his hand. His exhaustion seemed to have been dissipated after this phone call. He had been in a daze while gazing at the selfies of Alicia and her mother, as well as the butterfly earring she was wearing. He subconsciously brought his hand to the screen, trying to touch her beautiful face.

A week had passed in the blink of an eye. Alicia was free, thus she decided to give Frederick a call to report the current situation of his grandmother. As he was out, they ended the call after exchanging a few words. Even though they were far apart, their hearts were still close together.

Putting the phone away, Alicia lay down to rest. Whereas for Frederick, he headed towards a jewelry store that was still open. He chose a pair of glamorous flower earrings with a pear- shaped diamond pendant.

The sun was rising, and it was yet another beautiful day.

As soon as Alicia entered the office building, she received a call from Miranda.

"What? Grandma is ill? Which hospital? I'll be there right away!" When she visited Mrs. Clements two days before, she was still fine.

Knowing that Frederick cared about his grandmother the most, Alicia took a leave from work and went straight to the hospital while trying to contact Frederick.

It wasn't until she had arrived at the hospital that Alicia got to know that Mrs. Clements had diarrhea and vomited profusely. She even fainted when she arrived at the hospital.

As Frederick's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clements, were attending an event, and Frederick's uncle and his family were abroad for vacation a few days, Miranda didn't know who to contact. Mrs. Clements didn't want to let Frederick know about it, therefore Miranda ended up contacting Alicia and Hallie.

"Why did she get a stomach ache all of a sudden? I thought she was fine?"

Alicia waited anxiously for the results of the checkup as she was worried sick about Mrs. Clements. She treated her nicely and was very kind to her, thus Alicia was fond of her.

As they were waiting anxiously, the door of the emergency room opened and a doctor came out.

"There is a tumor in the patient's stomach. It is unknown whether it is harmful or not, but it seems like it already has signs of bursting. Thus, we must remove it immediately. Moreover, the patient is old and she has the symptoms of gastroenteritis. We can't delay the operation any further. Otherwise, it would be life-threatening. Who is her family member here? Please make a decision right now! However, the surgery may be risky and a little dangerous!"
