Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 1507

For some reason, the mere sight of him emptied Waverly's mind. She felt a piercing pain in her heart as her pale lips twitched.

"I wanted this, didn't I?" She started mocking herself in her heart, "He doesn't even have the time or energy to look at me anymore, but why does this feel so terrible?"

Thousands of needles seemed to stab onto Waverly's heart. She then noticed Seth, who had narrowed his eyes and was scrutinizing her, which only made her feel more unsettled.

No matter how hard she tried to deny it, Waverly couldn't change the fact that-Wyatt was the closest man she had ever been with.

Not even her marriage with Franklin could compare to her relationship with Wyatt!

However, it only took her two seconds to recover. "Come on!"

Waverly helped Jake back to the apartment. She was just helping Jake because he was ill.

She would, in fact, do that to anyone unwell. Despite that, no one saw her as a thoughtful person in general. People just saw her as a considerate girlfriend.

In the banquet hall, Wyatt stood from a place where he could properly see the door. He watched as the couple held onto each other from afar. The goblet in his hand trembled as his veins started throbbing at the sight of the "lovely" couple. He felt like crushing the tiny goblet in his big hand.

Jake rarely fell sick, and this time, his illness was quite severe. He had already gotten an injection for his cold, but he was still woozy, and he grew more uncomfortable each minute.

Waverly got him some anti- inflammatories and cold remedies.

"Take your meds, and sleep soundly. We'll go to the hospital and get you an IV if things don't get better tomorrow! No negative thoughts, alright? To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their mind and their conscience are defiled. You're a pure man, so things will work out, and you'll be back in no time! The doctor says your illness is directly linked to your stress, so don’t worry so much-"

"Jake! Be optimistic! The evil man will not go unpunished! They won't get away with it!"

Waverly handed him the cup of medicine. She then held his hand tight. All of a sudden, a weird thought flashed across her mind. She suddenly realized that troubles had always followed the men she had associated herself with. She wondered if she was a jinx. Her heart sank as she came to the speculation.

Jake used to be an outstanding captain. He was always ahead of the curve, and he called the shots amongst the younger generation. He was destined to have a bright future ahead of him.

Until he met her. When she came into his life, misfortunes followed.

As Waverly thought those awful thoughts, she felt someone squeezing her hand. When she came back to her senses, a warm palm had already adhered to her cheek.

"Waverly, I never should've fretted you like this! I'll handle this well, and I'll get better. Then, I'll be the one taking care of you. I won't be so depressed, I'll be okay! Don't worry-"

Jake couldn't bear seeing how bitter his girlfriend was. While Waverly thought herself a jinx, Jake thought her a blessing from God.

"It’s been a long day. You go home and rest, too! The later it gets, the more dangerous the world becomes!" Jake coughed.

He wanted to send her back, but his illness wouldn't allow it!

"It's still early," Waverly smiled, "I'll leave when you sleep!"

She then helped him lie down and tucked him in, "Don't take off your clothes. Sweating will help get rid of those toxins in your body! It might be hot, but it's for the better! Go to sleep, Jake."

Perhaps it was the injection, or maybe it was the meds, Jake suddenly felt exhausted. His eyelids twitched as he couldn't make out what Waverly was saying anymore. He didn't fight back the drowsiness, though. He just closed his eyes and muttered.

"Okay..."

Waverly was ready to leave when she saw how messy Jake's room was. His clothes piled on the sofa. He had just been there a few days, but it was as though a great battle had occurred in that very room! Waverly couldn't take it. She put down her handbag and helped tidy up Jake's room. She also threw all his clothes into the washing machine for him.

Men were a puzzle to her. It'd take one second to get the washing machine working, so why procrastinate on such a petty matter?

Waverly stayed and cleaned up till past ten o'clock. She was sweaty and flat-out tired. She subsequently sat down on the sofa as her body gave up. She just wanted to sit there forever and never move.

Suddenly, the man on the bed started humming. Waverly pushed herself back to her feet and strolled to his side.

"Hot, hot, water..."

She noticed the beads of sweat on the man's forehead. He seemed uncomfortable as his breath was heavy.

Waverly dashed out and got a wet towel to help cool Jake down. She even poured some water down the muddled man's throat.

Waverly curled up on the sofa and took care of him. Turns out she was going to leave any sooner.

Wyatt was attending an event in the hotel, but he sure wasn't there to socialize. His apathetic expression was enough to keep people away from him. He was so upset that it was as if someone in the hall had owed him several hundred billion dollars. However, he maintained his elegance even while he downed the bitter wine all by himself.

Seth attended to a few businesses before approaching Wyatt.

"Wyatt, the acquisition is settled! It's just some small home appliance, and the division is basically done. Was it really necessary,

though?"
