Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

She was still so young! She was still living life in full bloom, not to mention that she was so kind, sensible and hardworking! How could God have the heart to be so cruel to her? How could God bear to do so? Holding her tightly in his arms, Frederick wished he absorb all her discomfort. If he had a choice, he'd rather bear all of this for her.

"Hmm, Hubby, are you planning to smotherto death?" Feeling the warmth from his body, she felt secure. She unconsciously arched herself more fully into his arms as a thought flashed in her mind. Ah, she had scared him again! Meeting him was the truly the greatest blessing in her life.

Frederick loosened his grip slightly and shifted his hand to caress her hair affectionately. Looking into her smiling eyes, his heart felt like it was bleeding from pain and distress.

"Hubby, what's wrong? I'm fine! I'm not uncomfortable anymore, I'm not even in pain." Alicia caressed his cheek when she saw the look on his face. Frederick genuinely looked like he was about to cry. Vaguely, she could feel a trace of sadness around him. "Is there something wrong with me?" Why would he react like this otherwise? It seemed serious! Frederick hastily shook his head and visibly calmed himself down. He lowered his head and dropped a kiss on her forehead, "Nothing's wrong! You just happened to have low blood sugar level. I was so scared when you passed out. I was really... frightened out of my wits!" She's fine! She will be completely fine! When she heard that it was just a case of low blood sugar, Alicia felt relieved and immediately smiled again. "I'm a healthy baby! I'm clever and not a picky eater. I don't even catch colds. I exercise regularly, so how can I not be healthy?" Although she has stopped all her extrworkouts and even changed her shoes to flats since starting to prepare for her pregnancy, she wasn't one to slack off. She set an aim for herself to walk at least an hour a day. She's not so feeble.

"I will be fine! I still haven't given you a baby yet! When I do, baby and I will definitely visit granny together. We'll even celebrate her birthday together. When dad recovers, my brother and I will arrange for our family reunion. Do you know, I used to miss Bayton City, I was always homesick. But now that everyone is here at Casterwich City, it feels like hagain. As long as my family is together, it doesn't matter if we are rich or poor, we will definitely be very happy..." When she was younger, she was too naive. Having been pampered by her family her whole life, never lacking anything, she beca spoilt princess. She remembered getting angry if she didn't get what she desired. Now that she's older and wiser, she finally realized that material possessions do not bring true happiness. She was no longer the sÁlicia. Her family was more important than anything else. She has finally understood the truth that there was no difference between rich and poor when it cto that.

When she looked back at her past, it no longer filled her with bitterness. She now viewed all those experiences as a precious fortune and no longer hated her past anymore.

As she lay curled up against Frederick, Alicia gently gestured the beautiful blueprint of their future while speaking. Listening to her, Frederick felt as if his heart was being stabbed by a sharp awl, even the simple act of breathing hurt.

If he had a choice, as long as she stayed by his side, he would be content.

"Do you wish to visit your hometown? Why don't you rest for a few days and I'll plan our trip. I'll arrange my schedule to accompany you back to Bayton City, okay?" Maybe returning to the place where she had lived could deepen her impression of Bayton City. Finding those deeply-rooted memories might be the key to unlocking her mind.

He wished that she could remember everything. He wanted her to remember the past and never forget him!" "How about this upcoming weekend? If we include Friday and Monday, we would have four days. Excluding travel time, we will still have about three days to roam around! We can even visit the famous Bayton City hot spring, the unique snack street, and also..." "That would be nice..." Frederick smiled, but he couldn't hide his sorrow. Every word she said was like another stab of a knife into his heart. However, the hurt was quickly chased by her pleasant, soothing voice. He wondered how long would he be able to keep hearing such a beautiful voice. Soon, the doctor Carson arranged, arrived to explain her condition. They didn't stay in the hospital for long. Rather they went hright after.

On the way home, Alicia dozed off.

As Frederick held her in his arms, his heart was filled with all kinds of fear. He was afraid that she would fall asleep just like that. Several times, he thought up excuses to wake her up. Even hearing her vague "hubby" was enough to make him feel like breaking down in tears.

The moment they reached home, Alicia tiredly climbed into bed, hugged the pillow, and fell asleep.

In the bathroom, the sound of Frederick's sobs was swallowed by the sound of running water, the shower washing away his tears. He spent a long tin there, only emerging when he finally calmed down. As he stared at himself in the mirror, he slowly suppressed his fluctuating emotions.

That night, he held the sleeping Alicia in his arms and stayed awake the whole night.

In an effort to hide his worry about Alicia's health, he did not stop her from going to work. Moreover, the doctor did suggest that she should not forcibly change her current habits and schedule. In fact, working could help bring stability to her undiagnosed illness.

Therefore, Frederick arranged for

two more groups of people to observe Alicia's condition. In the office, Frederick also decisively scheduled his work for the next six months and even chose to either speed up or cancel many collaborative projects. At the moment, he was not in the mood to care greatly about the success or failure of various businesses, especially the smaller, unessential projects. There was no room for negotiation. In the office, Frederick's heart was in a mess of tangled knots as he struggle to work.

Before he could even work through a document, he picked up the phone again, "What is she doing? Is anything wrong?"

"Miss Blanchard just sent away a group of clients who cto talk about a partnership. She has just ordered theakeaways and is eating with the staff. There is no one in the shop now so she's resting on the table." "There's nothing out of the ordinary! Miss Blanchard is sharp-tongued and energetic as always..." Hanging up the phone, Frederick was in a weird mood. He went to the wine cabon the side, took out a bottle of red wine, and poured himself a glass. He promptly gulped it down.

Walking around in the office, he only managed to calm down slightly. Unable to control his uneasiness, he found Carson's phone number and was about to dial it when the snflashed on his screen. "Carson, how is it going?" "Frederick, we've gotten her blood test results back. It has all cback normal. However, we have detected a tiny sample of an unknown substance in the blood. I suspect that this substance is the cause of Alicia's strange symp

Yesterday, I did an experiment with swhite mice. It's as Loomis guessed, the symptoms were similar to that of Alzheimer's disease. For now apart from having a slower response, there's a chance of e damage to the cranial nerves. I have already gotten in touch with experts and researchers for a possible cure. Rest assured, we will do all we can for a solution as soon as possible..."
