Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Frederick's lips trembled as he asked with excitement, "Ally, you're awake?" With a conditioned reflex, he pressed the call button at the head of the bed first, for fear that she would fall asleep again. Just like touching a fragile crystal doll, he touched her face lightly. His voice quavered. "You're awake. That's all that matters! Don't move, don't move around!" He saw that she was grasping her tightly, her brows furrowed, and her lips seemingly mumbling out words. Frederick moved closer to her. "What do you want to say?" Was she feeling uncomfortable? "I didn't, I didn't do you any wrong... I won't leave you, I'm being framed!" Her breathing was still a little unstable. When she spoke, her entire body was in pain. Her words were choppy, as if she had used up all of her strength. After finishing her words, she could not help but shut her eyes out of exhaustion.

He was glad that she was conscious, and that she wasn't confused, but he didn't expect those to be the first words out of her mouth. Frederick was heartbroken. He rubbed her hands, and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"I know, I know everything! You don't have to say anything. Nothing matters now except for you getting better..." While they were talking, the doctor cin and examined her. Then he looked at the medical records and adjusted her prescription before giving instructions to the nurse behind him.

"Add another pack of IV drip in the afternoon. Let's see how she's doing after three days!" Then he turned around and looked at the two.

"From what I can see right now, the patient's condition has stabilized. The inflammation and fever have subsided. When the wound heals, she'll be fine. Try to rest and sleep more, it will help with the recovery. As for the diet, eat a light meal mainly consisting of oatmeal and vegetables. Avoid fish and seafood! More importantly, the patient has to remain calm and not get too excited. Be careful not to open up the wound again, or the patient's condition could turn critical." "Thank you, doctor! I'll keep that in mind!" Everything that had happened had really scared Frederick out of his wits. Hearing what the doctor said made him breathe a sigh of relief.

After sending away the doctor, Frederick sat by the bed. Alicia blinked her eyes, obviously a lot more lucid now. He watched her like a hawk, not even daring to blink. He was unable to hide his smile and relaxed posture.

"Close your eyes and sleep! I'll stay here with you!" Turning to face him, Alicia had a warm smile on her face as she held his hand. Their eyes met, and Frederick gave her hand a kiss.

"Thank you for being so strong! Promise me, no matter what happens, never leave me!" She'd been bullied so terribly, yet she was still willing to give up her life for him! Frederick was stunned, and at the sextremely grateful that he had her. Alicia giggled.

The corners of her mouth lifted. "I was afraid that if I didn't wake up, I'd forever be wronged!" In the darkness of her consciousness, she seemed to hear his voice. It led her like a light in the dark, making her have the strength to storm past that final obstacle. If she didn't wake up, what would happen to her parents? Thinking of this, Alicia frowned slightly. "I think I heard you say something about driving my mother out to the streets. I had to crawl back from the jaws of death!" She wasn't sure if he had said it or not. Alicia thought she was in a daze because of the fever.

Seeing that she still knew how to joke, Frederick's heart ached even more.

"I haven't told your mother yet. Don't worry, I'll get someone to bring over smoney and necessities to her. Once you're better, I'll bring her here to see you. To avoid her from getting suspicious, we'll help her move once you've recovered completely." "Okay!" "Why did you block the gunshot for me? You're so silly! Do you know you almost lost your life? I would rather be the one lying here than to see you hurt like this!" Thinking of the words she had said while kneeling on the ground before he entered the door, and the scene of her thin body blocking in front of him, Frederick's throat becconstricted again. He had never thought that she could do anything for him without any regrets! She could hear the apology and guilt in his tone. When she saw how wrinkled his clothes were and how haggard he looked, Alicia's heart ached for him. In fact, when she saw him appear at the Clements family's manor that night, she knew that she would do anything for him.

Frederick's heart was overwhelmed by selfbland guilt. His heart ached for what she had suffered because of him. This feeling was unexplainable. It was like being strangled, making him unable to breathe. The next second, unexpected words rang out. "I wasn't trying to block the gunshot for you..." Frederick was taken aback. If she wasn't trying to do that, how'd she end up lying here? "I just wanted... to push you away!" Alicia didn't want to see Frederick น like this, so she spoke lightly of the matter and purposely made it seem negligible. Everything that she'd done wasn't so that he'd feel guilty or grateful. She'd only done it because she wanted to! Since it was willingly done, there was no reason for her to want him to repay or thank her.

She didn't want to see his tightly knitted expression! In an instant, Frederick's emotions were like a raging storm. He couldn't help it. This silly woman. Why was she trying to comfort him at this time? When encountering danger, a normal person would have run away to save themselves. Who would care about the lives and deaths of others? She was too kind!

She was humble and didn't seek credit. She just gave sincerely and lived life to the maxxonce again, ΝΟ Frederick saw the resilience in her eyes. Frederick grabbed her hand and kissed it again. The next second, Alicia spoke slightly disdainfully. "Hubby, you smell bad. You're not handsanymore!" He looked haggard, with stubble growing, and his clothes wrinkled. She guessed that he had not had a good rest for a long time!

Wrinkling her nose, she muttered, "I'm sleepy! You'd better take a shower and have a rest! When Dwake up, I Want to see my handsPrince Charming!" Feeling tired, Alicia could not help but slowly close her eyes.... Frederick was stunned. He raised his arm and sniffed himself, "Am I that smelly?" He hadn't had the tnor patience to bother about anything other than Alicia for the past few days.

In the blink of an eye, the sound of steady breathing cfrom the bed. Frederick got up and walked out of the door.

It was tto take a bath and have a change of clothes!

When he went out, Frederick made a phone call first. He ordered the chef to prepare food and send it over. He also asked about the company's situation. When he walked back to the corridor, he saw Penny at the door with gifts in her hand. However, the bodyguards didn't let her enter. "I don't care who you are! No one is allowed to visit!" "Forget it. I won't go in then. However, can you tellhow she's doing? I have to give an update to her father- in-law!" "She has escaped danger. Madam, you can rest assured!" "What about the baby? How's her baby?" Penny anxiously asked. The bodyguards looked at each other in confusion.
