Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 1349

The few days following that, Victoria spent hours cooped up in the kitchen after work. However, unprecedentedly, Trevor never came back, never even leaving a message.

And unexpectedly, she spent nearly every night in depression and insomnia.

It was already past one that day, but Victoria still wasn't the slightest sleepy, so she checked her phone for a while before sitting up, letting out a long sigh.

"What has gotten into me?"

Was that woman such a taboo? Could she not even criticize her, and now he wouldn't come home just because she did?

Victoria frowned as she hugged her knees, leaning one cheek against them. "So what if he doesn't come back? Why should I be so bothered? Good that he won't come home; at least no one will give me the attitude!"

But just as she tilted her head, she couldn't help sighing again!

Not feeling like herself anymore, Victoria ruffled her hair, lifted the comforter, and got out of bed to down a glass of wine before climbing back in.

"Is he busy with engagements? Is he drinking? I hope his gastric has alleviated."

Realizing what she was mumbling, she rolled her eyes, disdainful of herself. "I must be possessed!"

With that, she pounded her head and shut her eyes.

Meanwhile, in Barrington City, though Trevor had been swamped with work, his days had been relatively simpler.

Like the days before, it was already past eleven when he and Holger returned to the hotel, but they still had a chat before taking their rest.

"Do you remember the name of that old holistic doctor they were talking about? They said he specializes in curing intractable diseases and has cured many people of their rare illnesses, right? Say, do you think he can do something about Selena's illness? Don't people always say the best is hidden amongst society? These low- key, altruistic, and reputable old doctors sure deserve all the respect they get; I'd really like to meet him!"

Speaking with a hint of rare excitement, Trevor made some tea in the meantime, thinking it'd help sober up.

"Do you think I should have Selena come over? If we manage to find and consult him by chance, he'd still need to take a look, won't he? I really think it's better if she's around..."

At least it wouldn't be a missed opportunity!

From how they put it, the drugs the old doctor used were mostly unconventional; none could be found in just any drugstore nor distinguishable. He genuinely seemed to have a trick or two up his sleeves. What was more, a client's wife had been troubled with psoriasis for years and could never fully get rid of it, but the old doctor managed to cure her with alternative medicine, and it had never relapsed for three years. Hearing that, Trevor suddenly thought he had found hope.

Holger couldn't help feeling surprised, sensing the change in his attitude from his tone. "Trevor, you seem to be very close with Se- Miss Selena lately! You won't stop talking about her!"

Hadn't it always been a touchy subject? Why the sudden change?

"Have I? Maybe because she's been asking how I'm doing with my recovery lately that we talked a little more!" At the thought of that, Trevor's heart felt stuffy.

Unlike that heartless one!

Still partially upset, Trevor spoke up for fear he couldn't keep his calm composure if Holger mentioned Victoria.

"Do you think what they said is believable?"

If anything, he wouldn't be a conman, right?

"I mean, no harm trying! But Trevor, we're in Barrington City. Are you sure you want Miss Selena to come over?" Heavens, they weren't in Casterwich City. Though they weren't exactly alone, he still didn't think it was still a good idea given Trevor's relationship with Selena and the past they shared.

"That means we can't go back, for the time being, can we?"

A hint of uneasiness flashed across Holger's face, wanting nothing to do with her deep down.

However, Trevor inadvertently caught it, and he paused his gaze at Holger for a split second when the scene he saw on the hospital's balcony flashed across his mind.

"It's just for a couple of days. Take it as a break! I just hope she can live normally and not suffer so much for the rest of her life!"

His attitude though...

Could there really be something between him and Selena?

The pathetic always acted insufferably somehow.

Holger twitched his lips a little but chose to take a sip of his tea to keep his mouth shut in the end.

"Go and ask about the doctor tomorrow. Best if he can consult Selena while we're still here!" It would be a relief in disguise for him if she could get better!

The house was enveloped in an indescribable desolation and coldness when Victoria returned home after spending a foggy day outside.

After standing mindlessly at the door to their bedroom for some time, she walked in with low spirits and flopped onto the bed without even changing her clothes.
