Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Chapter 198

The heavens would not give her the chance to regret!

"You're the doctor, I trust your expertise! If the surgery will make my father get better, I'll discuss it with my mother. Money is not a problem but I hope my father's safety and lowering the risks come first. I don't want to lose him..."

Alicia pleaded with red eyes. Her father was headstrong and had doted on her like a princess. He ended up like this because of her. She could not let her father pass away no matter the cost.

"I understand! I'll do my best!"

Afraid that she would misunderstand, Marshall's attitude took a complete change. His speech and actions were serious and professional. He could not help but pity her and eventually handed over a tissue.

"Thank you!"

When she walked out of the hospital, she was still feeling a little down.

She had taken the money just to see how coldblooded and ruthless Frederick could have treated her. It would be best if she took the opportunity to end everything and get the divorce agreement. Who knew, there was no more turning back for her, regardless of her intentions!

No matter what, she had to keep the money.

She just had to accompany some clients; she could surely think of a plan to get away!

The money was already hers anyway!

She started making some small preparations for her coming 'death sentence'. If she had pulled this through, he would sign the divorce agreement. This was better than dragging it on and on. Days had felt like years and she could not stand it!

Lost in her thoughts, her phone suddenly rang. Her heart pained again as she looked at it. She quickly answered the call and broke into a smile.

"Grandma-"

"Ally! What have you been up to? Why didn't you come over during the weekend? Our relatives gave me so many things and I've kept them for you! They're almost a box full! You can come and choose when you're free! There are also a few colorful purses, they've told me that these fit young girls the best. They're new designs and very pretty, you can choose first before calling Hallie and Caroline over!"

As Alicia listened to Mrs. Clements, she felt bitter in her heart. Since she quarreled with Frederick, she had been in a bad mood. She called her once before but did not pay a visit. After that, Mrs. Clements had called again and she politely declined to meet her. She did not think that she would call her once more just after a few days.

She could feel that Mrs. Clements truly cared for her but she was about to get a divorce. Given her situation, she would be questioned and despised by others if she visited her in the future!

She did not want to play up to people of power and involve her family in trouble again.

Hence, she had only been making phone calls recently. She did not go for a visit.

"I have been keeping them for you just in case they take them away when they come over! Ahem..."

"Grandma, is your throat still sore? I made some honey lemon preserve but I'm a little busy these days and I can't meet you. I'll send it over to you, make sure to drink it with warm water! I'll go see

you when I'm free and collect my gifts by then!"

Alicia was uncomfortable lying to her. However, as she thought to herself that maybe, someone would replace her very soon, she bit back her reluctance.

"Grandma, you should take care of yourself. Don't stay up late at night, rest early!"

"Alright, alright! Ally, if you have time, come over to my house to bake cookies! It doesn't have to be a weekend, you can come in the evening too! I've been free recently!"

"Okay!"

After chatting with Mrs. Clements for a while, Alicia felt more depressed after she hung up.

Over the years, there were fewer relatives who had kept in touch, not to mention having someone who would dote on her so much. She was unwilling to part with Mrs. Clements! Sniffing, she packed the honey lemon preserve and called the courier service.

It was another busy day. After a meeting, Frederick went through his phone when he noticed that it was already Thursday.

The weekend was coming soon, would it be that he still could not go home again this week?

He was unhappy!

In the elevator, he changed his destination and went straight to Chet's office.

Chet had just returned to his office after finishing his business outside. He was getting a report from the secretary. "Are the clients at Hiddleson Hotel settled? The thirty- first- floor guests are very important investors! Was everything alright?"

"They've all checked-in! There are no problems!"

"Okay!"

Sealing the documents on hand, he suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Andrews of Pacific Group is with a friend this time. He'll also be staying on the thirty-first floor. I booked room 3118 for him. He's a famous, lucky upstart who doesn't know anything except investing according to trends! He's a very good target to invite as an investor though. Make arrangements to treat him politely and don't take his words to heart!"

"Okay! I'll keep it in mind!" The secretary was very professional and wrote all the points down.

"Also, I arranged for an escort to accompany him. I heard that he likes this stuff! You make the call later, it's best if she can go over today! Since there's plenty of time, we can handle any unprecedented happenings!"

Chet's orders were very clear, they had to secure the upstart.

Nodding, the secretary also wrote this down.

Just as they were talking, the door opened and Frederick walked in.

"Mr. Clements." The secretary was so surprised that her voice tensed up. She did not expect him to come over.

Rising to his feet, Chet was also taken by surprise. He waved his hand. "You can go first!"

He watched the secretary leave before tidying his messy desk full of documents. He then approached Frederick. "What's the matter? Is it urgent? Would you like coffee or tea?"

He could not wait to call and came in person! Did he want to scare everyone in his office? Chet wondered.

"There's no need! I was in a meeting and your office was nearby. What about the actor I asked you to look for?"

Hitting his forehead, Chet remembered. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

"I've already made all the arrangements. I've been so busy I have forgotten to tell you! He's rough- looking but quite knowledgeable; I've met him! His face is born fierce so he takes up roles like perverts, robbers, or murderers. He looks intimidating but is an honest man who even speaks quite slowly! I've asked around, he's a compassionate person. He would go around working as an extra just to earn more money because his wife isn't well. They are a loving couple! I think he's a fit for the job!"

Turning around, he poured two glasses of water.

"I've contacted him and gave him some information. I also told a film director to guide him on what he should do, a ten-minute act would be no problem! Wouldn't we be going too? He would be on standby and coordinate with our time if we give him ten times the wages! When would you like it to be?"

"Let's make it tomorrow night!"
