Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 412

Alicia accompanied her dad the whole way, and only turned her attention to Marshall when she went back to the office. Marshall gave her a cup of water.

"Don't worry, the results need some time to be released! Now, tell me, what is going on?" He said.

"I'm not hiding anything. It is exactly as what I've told you! I don't know what is going on either..."

Alicia felt helpless, and her anxiety was obvious. Except for the part where she needed the proposal to exchange for the cure, she confessed everything.

While they were speaking, a nurse sent in the reports to them.

After closing the door, Alicia asked anxiously, "How is it? What exactly is the issue?"

"From the films and the results, so far everything is normal! However, something... unknown is found in his bloodstream!"

Because it was listed as a private and confidential matter, this report was not saved. It was specially labelled and the doctors filled in the report according to what he had given.

"Something unknown?" Alicia muttered, her vision suddenly became blur.

"In that case, is there any way to treat it?" She asked.

"Don't frighten yourself yet! How about this, you can admit your dad to the hospital first for observation, and I will run further tests and hopefully be able to give you an exact answer tomorrow! It's hard to treat it if we don't know what the exact substance is!"

"But if my dad gets admitted, won't it attract more unwanted attention and put him in greater risk?"

Marshall thought about it for a moment.

"How about this? I'll arrange for your dad to be in a special VIP ward and have some fixed staff to constantly take care of him, or you can also arrange for people whom you trust to come over. Your dad's current condition does not require any medication. It's just that he has some inconvenience to move around. There are also surveillance cameras around the hospital. It will be fine! If anyone asks, just tell them that your dad has food poisoning and is admitted for emergency treatment!"

"Alright! We will go ahead with your plan! Thank you, Marshall..."

Alicia's thoughts were in a mess. She was thinking that since her mom was around, it'll probably be safer for them to stay here than be at home. After everything had been arranged, she went back to the company. She was afraid that Frederick could tell that something was going on, but at the same time, she was also waiting for further news.

It was a very anxious day for Alicia, and she felt so helpless.

The next morning, she received a call from Marshall.

She hurried to the hospital. "Marshall, what's the situation?" She asked.

"I gave your dad another thorough body check-up. His blood went through many tests, but the unknown substance in his bloodstream is still not identified. However, from the data I have collected so far, it can be identified as some kind of mercury poison. This could lead to numbing of the nerves, slower reflexes, and it also damages internal organs. In the long run, the kidneys would be seriously affected. Mercury poisoning is usually a very slow threat. It is only after it accumulates into a large amount, then it will cause a reaction. However, usually, if it can be detected, it means that the volume is very high and the effects of it should have manifested, unlike what we see in your father right now!"
