Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 548

In the following days, Alicia was depressed. Frederick fell seriously ill. When people were ill, they tended to be vulnerable. When people heard this, even those who had only met him once or so were fighting to personally take care of him.

However, he turned off his phone and acted like a zombie. Everyday, he stared at the big teddy bear on the bed.

That day, Chet brought some documents over. What he saw was the usual... Frederick taking his medicine. However, this time, his focus was on the wedding photo.

Sometimes, he really didn't understand. Frederick knew that he was suffering, so why did he have to torture himself like this?

After taking the documents, Chet slowly walked over and asked, "Do you need to go to the hospital?"

Frederick shook his head and took the pen. Then he signed the documents one by one. "I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine after a few days' rest."

After pouring him a glass of warm water, Chet pulled a chair over and spoke.

"You get your peace and quiet after turning off your phone, while my phone is constantly exploding with messages! Frederick, only you can help yourself. You know that this won't help, so why are you torturing yourself like this? Miss Blanchard will not want to see you like this. You've come so far, so why can't you do it again this time?"

After a pause, Frederick made the last stroke. His strength was obviously a little out of control as there was a hole in the document. After a moment of silence, he slowly explained.

"I never believed in undying love. I never believed that I could love a woman so much. Did you know? These kinds of thoughts pop up in my mind a lot... I feel like there's no meaning to life. I want to be with her!"

Chet opened his mouth anxiously, but he heard Frederick continue.

"In the past, no matter what happened, I never had such thoughts. I'm weak, a coward, and I'm dodging my responsibility, but now, I finally know what it feels like to have no passion in life. I work so hard everyday, but not for money nor will. I'm afraid that I'll be alone, that I'll see someone else in love and happy..."

Was there space for him in this world? What he saw made him feel pain!

"I know that I can't die. At least for now..."

Everyday, he had to struggle with this dilemma. It was too complicated.

Chet took back the documents and spoke.

"That's why you have to move on. If you give up, won't your grandmother be the first to collapse? Surely someone in the Clements family will be happy about that. What about Miss Blanchard? Who will remember her? Who will avenge her? Who has the ability to do so? Do you want her to perish without a trace? And your father, even if you despise him, you still have the same blood. What the Clements family has is the result of your father's sweat and tears, isn't it? Over the years, Penny spent a lot of money. Don't you know that? Although she spends a little here and there, she can easily spend all the family's riches. If you're not here, the family fortune will fall into her hands. Do you think Master Trevor can control her? Even the law is on her side. Without you to protect Grandma, it won't do."

Frederick's eyes sharpened little by little, and his muscles were also twitching. Chet knew that what he said worked. He glanced at the untouched dishes at one side, took the packages sent by someone, and threw them at him.

"A man doesn't know the pain of another man. Please don't forget that. Eat."

At least it was better than leftovers.
