Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

As long as she could drag Alicia along as her companion in death, wouldn't that be her joy in life? Lindsay said that this drug was called Infinity, as it had no cure and endless possibilities. However, she preferred calling it "Shift". In her mind, it could shift all sadness and resentment away. Frederick's heart sank and even his fingertips turned a little pale, "What are you talking about? Explain!" Was Danica really the cause of Alicia's illness? He wanted nothing more than to tear this woman into pieces. However, at that moment, Frederick's voice was calm and unruffled. He was puzzled and needed to be sure what other hidden motive she harbored.

No matter how panic-stricken he was, he could lose his rationale. Frederick understood that at that moment, he couldn't be easily fooled. He did not want any backlash.

He mercilessly said.

"If you askedto chere just to tellthis, I have already heard it! Since you have already achieved your purpose, I hope that I will not receive any other anonymous calls in the future!" He was angered to the point of radiating a killing intent towards her. On the outside, it seemed as if Frederick was maintaining his composure the whole time. He didn't scream or shout. It was not that he was overconfident. Rather he knew that he needed to stay calm to handle the matter.

As the situation involved Alicia, he feared the precariousness of the situation. It was as fragile as a soap bubble. One wrong move and the bubble will burst, taking with it Alicia's life! Frederick acted calculatingly. As soon as he spoke, he turned his body sideways but kept his steps minimal. Hearing his straightforward rejection, Danica went crazy. She raised her voice instantly, "Do you really hatethat much? Are you really that disgusted withto the point where you won't compromise for her sake?" Danica gritted her teeth and thought of something. She swallowed and said, "Do you think that you can really protect her for a lifetwith your d*mn money and authority? Or did you think you could save her just by using the best medical treatment in the world?" Lindsay had said that "Infinity" was made with a recipe found in an ancient book. It was said it had no cure at all, as this drug was an amalgamation of ancient medicine and Western-style processing. The drug itself may not be fatal as it still needed to be catalyzed before it was activated. However, the drug possessed many side effects. The only solution to the drug was... it could be diluted, but it could never be cured! In other words, as long as one was contaminated by this drug and it was activated, the worst-case scenawould be dying from unbearable pain of torture and self-harm. The best case was to beca fool within a few years after taking the so-called "antidote"! Lindsay had mentioned that only one dose was produced. In order to keep it a secret, she had destroyed all other information on it. If she hadn't been forced into a corner, she probably wouldn't have brought it out! Knowing that Lindsay had drugged her brother and destroyed the Crouch family, Danica wasn't suspicious and firmly believed in her words. In fact, she had pinned all her hopes on it.

A hint of coldness appeared on her face and Danica sneered.

"Huh, Frederick, no matter how proud you are, you are merely human after all. There are still sthings beyond your reach in this world! Take my cancer, is there a way to keepalive? Let's not talk about a lifetime, just five or ten years, can you do it?" As she watched him slowly turn back, Danica's malevolent eyes burned into him.

"I just want half a year! Just half a year to fulfill my wish! It won't affect your future at all! Wouldn't you get the best of both worlds? Don't tellthat she was hospitalized because of a cold. Without my antidote, before six months is up, she would completely forget you and this world. She might even beca disabled fool for the rest of her life. I reckon that..." In her mind, Danica cursed them. Both of you would never have forever! "Danica... You vicious woman!" Raising his arm, Frederick choked her throat with his hand. His strength grew with his rage and anger burned in his eyes.

"Just kill me! Just kill me, please... I want both of you to be buried beside me! Together!" As she spoke, Danica closed her eyes, a smile appearing in the corner of her mouth. In her mind, she thought, "If I could die in his arms, I would have no regrets in my life!" She made many regrets she did not dare to recall yet to have the man whom she deeply loved and cherished stand right in front of her at the end of her life was satisfying. By hook or by crook, at least she was left in his memory. Even if he hated her forever! Frederick squeezed her neck hard, then suddenly flung her away. He glared at her, then turned and strode away angrily.

"Frederick, what I said was true!" "Stop wasting your time! I'm the only one who can cure Alicia." "Without me, even if she was lucky enough to be alive, she would forget you sooner or later!" "She'll forget everything, becan idiot, and fall in love with someone else." "Frederick..." Behind him, Danica's roar was as loud as a thunderclap. However, Frederick strode away without pausing, not even turning back to look at her. Not even once.

There was no doubt what the cause of Alicia's illness was. As he drove away, he called Carson again, hoping to verify her diagnosis as soon as possible in order to find an appropriate solution.

"So if we can get a sample of the toxin, will it be easier for the research and development process of the antidote? Good, I've got it!" It seemed that the key was how Alicia was poisoned. If there was no contact and no abnormal incidences, how was she drugged? It couldn't have been airborne! After hanging up the phone and thinking about it for a while, Frederick called Chet.
