Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 190

Jeremy nodded and his expression eased a little. "Alright! Ally, have you... been getting by like this for these three years?"

Did she have to work at night and hurt herself to protect herself? Although there were fewer veins on the thigh and the pain felt would be the greatest, there were arteries too. One small mistake and she could have been dead!

She did not expect him to ask such a question, concern apparent in his voice. She looked up immediately and could not come to her senses for about three seconds. Perhaps it was due to intense movement that she suddenly felt faint.

"Careful-"

Jeremy reached out instinctively and caught her in his arms.

She did not know if it was because there were traces of drugs remaining in her body, she felt dizzy and closed her eyes, leaning on him for support.

When she felt better, she opened her eyes only to see a familiar black sedan speeding by!

She turned her head and her gaze paused. Was she mistaken? Why did it look like Frederick's car?

"Are you still feeling unwell? Do you need to go back to the hospital?"

Coming back to her senses, she quickly pulled away, putting some distance between them. She shook her head. "I'm fine! Maybe it's because I had too many drips. I'm a little tired, I just need some rest! I'll go in now!"

Everything that happened last night and Jeremy's sudden change of attitude made Alicia scared. To be honest, he had become a thorn in her heart over the years. Whether she heard of him or saw him in person, it always seemed like her nightmare had returned to haunt her. As if she developed a reflex, she would stay away from him to protect herself.

Taking one last look at him, she ran limping into the house and locked the door.

Frederick was about to combust from anger as he put his foot on the gas pedal. He did not hear them talking but he saw their intimate actions. Not only was he weird to have thought about going back, but he was also a complete, pathetic fool!

She did not give him a single call when he had not returned home. Instead, she went out with another man and stayed outside for the whole night? Perhaps, the reason she did not let him touch her was not that she found him filthy, but a ridiculous excuse to keep her 'chastity'!

She did not have an ounce of him in her heart!

This was the only clear judgement Frederick could make the entire morning.

He was not suspicious of Alicia and Jeremy having an affair but their past was a pain in the neck. It made insecurity ripple in his heart.

At the office, Frederick had a terribly sullen face.

When Chet walked in, the room was filled with clouds of smoke and the strong smell of cigarettes.

Coughing uncomfortably, he opened the windows. "What tricky trouble have you met with, Frederick?"

It was rare to see Frederick so depressed and unmotivated. At that moment, Chet felt that he was in an awfully bad mood.

Looking at Chet, the light in Frederick's eyes was gone, not even a hint of glow present in his dull orbs.

"It's a tricky problem indeed!"

He realized that he had fallen for someone he should have not! He had missed her and he could not stand seeing her with another man. Unfortunately, she had millions of things kept in her heart but not him. She had not cared for him and all she loved was money.

Why would he want an empty shell without her heart?

Even if she had stayed, how long would it last?

He remembered the days when his stepmother abused him. It was because she did not love his father, wasn't it? All she had wanted was money and the only way to have it was to get rid of him so that she would have the chance to conceive children, to increase her chances of getting more money! That all happened when he was just an innocent, clueless child.
