Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Noticing the change in his tone, Alicia guessed his thoughts instantly. She pulled his hand in a coquettish manner immediately.

"What are you talking about? Isn't it the weekend soon? Since you are not here, I'll visit Grandma for you. I can also go home and visit my mother!" Alicia explained.

Moreover, since he was not around, she could go home and stay for a few more days. She was happy just thinking about it.

Putting away the serious look on his face, Frederick said, "Okay. You need to keep your phone switched on 24 hours every day. I'll check on you at any time!"

He knew that she and her mother were dependent on each other and had a close relationship. Thus, he didn't say anything more.

"Oh..."

As soon as Frederick went on the trip, Alicia began to relax. It was as if she had returned to the time when she was single. Her mother cooked and she washed the dishes. Life was simple but happy.

On this day, she hummed a little when she was doing the dishes. Mrs. Blanchard, who was cutting fruits, also realized the change in Alicia. For three years, there was no smile on her face, but when she returned this time, she seemed to be totally different. She would smile from the bottom of her heart, revealing a kind of bright charm from being doted on. It was as if she had returned to the former lively daughter of a rich family.

"Ally, let's visit your dad tomorrow! After that, you can go back to your home. How can you stay here all the time?"NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

"Mom, what's the matter? He's on a business trip and won't be back until next week! Anyway, there's no one at home. Isn't it good if I accompanied you more often?"

There was an unintended coquetry in her tone, and her action of keeping the plates was also relaxed. Mrs. Blanchard smiled and narrowed her eyes.

"Why don't you give him a call to show your concern?" she suggested.

After a pause, Alicia replied, "He's so busy. We'd better not disturb him!"

"Ally, did you guys have a fight? Were you kicked out of the house?" Mrs. Blanchard guessed.

"Mom, what are you thinking? I've only been back for two days!" Alicia argued. Did her mother dislike her so much that she even suspected her?

In the end, Alicia could not win in arguing with her mother. When it was ten o'clock, she sent a message to Frederick, asking, "Hubby, are you free now?"

Soon, Frederick called her. Alicia showed it to her mother first. Mrs. Blanchard smiled, picked up the plates, and went into the kitchen. Alicia then answered the call and heard a slightly displeased voice.

"What took you so long? Did anything happen?" Frederick asked. Did he blame her for answering the phone late?

"Hubby, did I disturb you? I'm sorry! I'm fine. I missed you so much that I couldn't hold it back for a while..." Knowing that he didn't like being disturbed by others during work, Alicia was too embarrassed to say that she was forced by her mother. Therefore, she could only bear everything by herself.

On the other end, Frederick responded with a "hmm" while holding the phone. His serious expression softened a little in an instant.

"I'm in Washington. You can call me in the morning next time!"

Alicia didn't dare to chat for too long. After talking for a while, they ended the call. Frederick walked out of the bathroom and returned to his private room before continuing the work that he hadn't finished. As for Alicia, she was in a good mood all night because of the short call.

The next weekend, Alicia accompanied her mother to the sanatorium.

Mrs. Blanchard helped her husband clean his body in the ward. Alicia visited the attending doctor's office and asked, "Doctor Lewis, how is my father?"

"Miss Blanchard, I was just going to look for you! Your father's brainwaves are obviously much stronger. Besides, he can also do simple interaction through small gestures using his eyelids and fingers. This is a very good sign of recovery. It's already a miracle that your father, who was paralyzed due to cerebral hemorrhage, can keep his life until now. There is a new medicine abroad that has a miraculous effect on this disease. If it is used along with surgery, the recovery rate is very high. However, the cost is extremely high!"
