Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 378

Frederick stroked her hair, a little distressed.

"Look at how frail you are. Is there anywhere that you're not injured? Why don't you rest at home for two months, then we'll talk about it later?"

If she was lazy, it wouldn't be too bad to be a housewife either!

"My injuries are not that serious. They are not even deep. I don't have to go to the hospital! I have my husband to take care of me. The only reason I work is to pass the time! There would be less trouble if there were fewer people. I'll listen to whatever you say, but don't make me stay at home and do nothing. I will wither! Why don't we go back to how it was before? When we're free, you can take me out for a meal! I'll be happy!"

If she stayed at home for two months, she would really be disengaged from society and be a good- for- nothing. Although she was always one step behind, she had to quicken her pace to keep up with him.

Alicia could not help but sigh as she thought about the past.

"I do not have any friends to reserve a seat for me or accompany me for lunch while working here. There would always be some random person who would either grab my food or take my space... It isn't very nice! When I have to come up to my husband's office to have lunch with him, I still have to sneak around like a thief!"

However, at this moment, she still did not dare to mention the men who liked to pester her.

In contrast, she still felt she was happier working in JT Translation Services. Although the food was not as good, at least she could eat comfortably. That was more important. Perhaps, it was the same as marriage. It did not matter whether you married someone rich or poor. The only thing that mattered was whether you were happy when you're with the person.

Although JT Translation Services was incomparable to Soaver International, she would rather be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big pond. Working in JT Translation Services gave her a sense of accomplishment as well as confidence. In her mind, this was the choice she made for herself.

Only then did she realize how different men and women were! Who would have thought that she had so many grievances? She was even emotional about eating lunch!

After a moment of silence, Frederick spoke.

"Alright then! From now on, do whatever makes you happy! If you want to work, work; if you don't want to, you can stay at home and let me take care of you! However, you must respect my boundaries! We still have to go to the hospital! Something happened to Trevor!"

He wanted to take the opportunity to visit him and get a better understanding of the situation!

"What happened? Is it serious?"

"He drank too much! He should be fine!" He pulled her up and said, "Why don't you clean yourself up? I'll accompany you downstairs to retrieve your bag!"

"What? Wouldn't the entire company find out that we're together then?"

He got up and stroked her hair, "You're about to leave anyway, and you're not in line to get a promotion. You don't have to hide who you are anymore, do you?"

He did not want to make their relationship public because he was afraid that her efforts would be wasted!

Now that he thought about it, perhaps he was wrong from the start. She did not need to prove her intelligence and talents to anyone.

As long as she was happy and he knew it, that was enough!

He believed that with her wit and her ability to adapt, even without him by her side, she would still do well!

Upon hearing his words, Alicia seemed to understand his intention instantly, so she immediately replied with a beautiful smile.

"Wait a moment, let me see if everything is cleared outside. I don't want you to see anything that you're not supposed to!" There were some things that he had to explain.

"Alright!"

She nodded and sat back on the chair while he walked out of the door.

She was not used to being the centre of attraction. However, she wouldn't be coming to the office anymore after that day, so it did not matter. She did not make a fuss anymore.

As soon as they stepped into the International Affairs Department, everyone stood up to greet their president. However, the words were stuck in their throats, and their eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets when they saw Alicia and Frederick together.

She hurried went back to her desk, quickly tidied up her belongings and turned off her computer. Then, she muttered, "I'll pack the rest tomorrow!"

She had to complete some paperwork anyway!

"Alright!"

Frederick nodded and reached out for her bag. He ignored all the employees the entire time and walked out of the door with her in his arms. Time seemed to stand still. For a long time, the entire department was in pindrop silence.

They drove all the way to the hospital. Frederick then handed her off to the nurse to check on her injuries. Then, he turned to look at Carson,

"How is Trevor? Is he awake? Is he okay?"

Carson nodded and pointed to the ward on the other side.

"Yes, he is awake. The poison in his body isn't completely cleared, and he is physically weak right now. I gave him a full-body examination. He should be alright. The paralyzing drug is causing him to lose consciousness. The effect lasted for more than 24 hours. It is specially reserved for running!"

Frederick frowned a little then walked to the side as he asked, "Do you have any idea how it got into his body?"

"Someone must have placed it in the incense burner. I found some ashes in the room, in which there was a small dose of abnormal substances. It was prepared beforehand and placed very close to Master Trevor. That was why he was affected badly while others weren't." "Incense burner? It must have been the waiter! Why hasn't anyone realized this after such a long time?"
