Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 822

A forced smile appeared on Frederick's face as he nodded, "Yeah."

How could he not understand Chet's reasoning? But understanding it didn't mean that he had no feelings. Such a young life was about to be taken away so soon. It was depressing.

Being sympathetic and charitably giving parts of oneself away were two different things. Her request really was the latter that he just couldn't afford providing her with.

"What if she recovers half a year later? Won't my charity become a burden then?" He thought to himself. "What if Alicia gets heartbroken, resentful, or falls for someone else because of this?"

He couldn't hurt Ally anymore!

Even if it was really her dying wish, even if it was completely heartless of him, he had to fail her!

It was hard not letting this revelation affect his mood. Frederick took a deep breath and pushed the door open. "You can leave with the car!"

He entered the door in a daze. Just as he walked up the stairs, he heard the voice of an angry woman. "Divorce is a must! The principle of men is truly intolerable!"

Why was she so furious? Did she find out?

Frederick felt like he was a hazy cloud had casted over him.

Just when he was about to push open the door, he heard a soft voice saying, "Daisy..."

Was she on the phone?

Patting his chest, Frederick felt his legs turned to jelly. He was almost scared to death!

Sure enough, one must not commit guilty actions!

"Daisy, you've done the right thing! A moment of pain is always better than a lifetime of torture! In fact, there's one thing I didn't tell you! Your intuition is right!"

"Howard is a little out of the ordinary! If it's merely a big change in attitude before and after marriage, we can still adapt to it; but I don't think he's targeting you! Once, I saw him hugging a man and even calling him darling. Basically, they were very close! I've always been looking for a chance to tell you! Unfortunately, something happened and it was delayed, and now you've already gotten divorced!"

"Daisy, it's not your problem at all! His emotional abuse towards you, and his nitpicking, are not because you're not good enough, but because he's gay! If he didn't pick on you, how could he find an excuse to get away from you? Think about it, even if a guy is no longer interested in women, he still has instincts! Otherwise, where did those whores come from?"

"Daisy, you've done a good job! You did amazing, honey! Although I know I shouldn't say anything about your family background, I still want you to be happy. Don't lose yourself crying over such a man!"

Thinking of how Howard courted Daisy by being eagerly attentive towards her and sweet-talking his way to her heart, and then doing all those things with Hallie's husband, Laven, at the hotel, Alicia felt deeply sympathetic and angry at her excolleague.

Just like that, a nice girl became a gay man's wife and her life was turned upside down! A man had harmed a nice girl and an innocent child.

Listening to the person on the other end of the line talk miserably, Alicia felt a lump in her throat.
