Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 117

Mrs. Clements's face was pale. Closing her wrinkled eyes, she did not speak but she looked very sickly.

Penny Carter turned around while wiping her tears with the back of her hand. Then, she went to inquire about the situation. When she knew that it was Alicia who signed the operation document, she looked enraged and started scolding her.

"How can you make such an important decision on your own? If something bad happens to Grandma, could you bear the responsibility?"

"Why didn't you call us?"

"If you couldn't get through to us, don't you know how to get someone to find us? Are you a dumb*ss?"

As soon as Carson walked in, he saw Penny forcing Alicia to a corner. Unexpectedly, Alicia lowered her head and did not say a word. He softly coughed twice in purpose.

"Ahem, please don't make noise in the hospital! The patient needs to rest!"

At this time, Mr. Clements had arrived with sweat falling from his forehead. He heard Penny's accusation but he disregarded it. Instead, he rushed to the bed and held his mother's hand straight away.

"Mom, are you feeling better now? I am such an unfilial son!"

Shaking her head slowly, Mrs. Clements muttered softly, "It's all right. It's so noisy. Can all of you leave? I just need Alicia and Miranda to accompany me..."

With that, all of them headed out as told. Alicia tucked in the fluffy quilt for Mrs. Clements and carefully adjusted the position of the infusion bottle before sitting beside the bed quietly.

At this time, Miranda nodded at Mrs. Clements with a satisfied smile.

"Ally, I'm so sorry that they have wronged you. Don't take it to heart. I know what you have done!" Mrs. Clements comforted Alicia.

"Grandma, I don't feel wronged. In fact, I'm fine! I know, Aunt is just worried about you. It's important for you to rest well and recover as soon as possible!'¹

There was not a trace of displeasure on Alicia's face. She even put on a smile.

At this time, her cell phone lit up suddenly. She said, "It's Frederick, Grandma, I—"

She pointed at the door and was ready to head out. But, as soon as she got up, her hand was grabbed by someone.

"Don't tell him. I'm fine. I don't want him to worry... If something happens when he comes back in a hurry... Ahem..."

"Okay, okay! Grandma, don't worry, I won't tell him!"

After comforting Mrs. Clements, Alicia walked to the side with her phone and greeted, "Hubby!"

"What's the matter? Why did you call me?" There were countless missed calls on his phone. At this moment, Frederick sounded anxious and dissatisfied.

Alicia could sense it but her eyes subconsciously swept over the bed beside her. She could only make up an excuse instead.

"Nothing! I got scolded by my boss and I was feeling a little... upset!"

Hearing that she had called him so many times just because of this, Frederick was annoyed. He saw tons of missed calls from her when he turned on the phone. Hence, he had to come out with an excuse to get away momentarily from his customers in order to call her back.

"Next time, do not call me so many times for a matter like this! If you don't want to listen to his scolding, just cover your ears!"

"Okay!"

Although she felt very wronged and unhappy in her heart, Alicia chose to endure it. At this time, the sound of wheels could be heard. The door of the ward was opened, as a nurse with a medical cart entered.

Holding her phone in her hand, Alicia walked to a corner.

"Go away! It's best if you don't come here to pester me! The porridge you give me every time is just too bland. I don't want to eat. I don't have the appetite! I told you I want to eat meat!"

"If you bring this to me one more time, don't bother coming anymore!"

"Mom, we are just worried about you. You can't eat greasy food for now as the doctor said. It's not good for your stomach. Besides, it might be lifethreatening! We're just concerned about you."

"Forcing me to eat this every single day is the same as wanting me to die! I said that I am fully recovered, yet I'm not allowed to get discharged and not allowed to eat whatever I want!"

Then, there was another quarrel in the ward. Alicia hesitated for a while as she didn't know if she should go in. At this time, Miranda's voice was heard.

"Madam, why don't you two head back first? Every time before and after a meal, Mrs. Clements will lose her temper. As you know, she has always been a food lover, but now she can't eat whatever she wants... Also, the doctor doesn't allow her to get angry. Her temper will be gone once there's no one around!"

Hearing this, Alicia turned around and went to the bathroom.

When she was back, there was no visitor in the ward anymore. "Grandma-"

"Ally, you are back!" Seeing Alicia, Mrs. Clements' tone was much hospitable. At this time, Miranda was carrying the vegetable porridge which was sent by the nutritionist and it had a faint aroma of meat.

"Grandma, you look better today! It's time to eat! You will feel better once you are full!"

As soon as Alicia scooped some porridge out, she heard Mrs. Clements's aggrieved voice, "I want to eat meat!"

"Grandma, the chef added some meat in the porriage today!"

No matter how delicious the food was, everyone would feel sick eating the same thing every day. Not to mention, it was a tasteless porridge. After all, Alicia had just been hospitalized, thus she understood very well. Sometimes, she would not have the appetite to eat even if she was starving.
