Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Chapter 188

On the way, the both of them walked silently, lost in their own thoughts.

Turning down the corridor, Danica held his hand and led him to a short parterre. All of a sudden, she jumped and held onto Fredericks' neck. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

"Frederick, won't you give me a piggy-back ride? You used to carry me while we were young! I miss those days, can you carry me for a while?"

She tried to jump on his back, a braid of her hair falling on his shoulders. Frederick immediately stiffened without him realizing it.

'Hubby, if I'm gone one day... would you take care of my mother on account that we're married?'

'Who knows how many women you've slept with outside! You're filthy! I said, don't touch me!'

Holding Danica's hand, Frederick turned around and pushed her away. "Stop it, you're already grown up! Why give you a piggy-back ride when there's nothing wrong with you?"

"It's fun! You can give me a piggy-back ride even if there's nothing wrong with me!" There were many men who carried their partners on the streets too.

"Frederick..." Danica pulled at his sleeves coquettishly, sounding like she was pleading with him.

"Stop it! I'm not used to this kind of stuff." Frederick replied firmly. He was obviously unwilling to do this.

At that moment, Danica understood what he meant.

Frederick's tone softened when he saw her disappointed face. "If we're seen, Chet would have a lot on his plate again! Why not save the hassle and use that money to give you a treat?"

Through his words, he was implying that they had to watch their images.

Danica was all smiles the next second. "Okay! Next time, you're not to reject me if we're behind closed doors or I'll get mad!"

Frederick didn't answer. Coincidentally, his phone rang and he used this as an excuse to leave.

After Jeremy brought Alicia to the hospital, he sat on the bench in a daze. Looking at the blood on his hands, his mind was empty and his eyes were dull.

Time passed by and the door to the ward opened. He ran over in a daze. "Doctor?"

"We found an unknown substance in her body and she has lost awareness. She was under the effects of a drug that causes hallucination. We've treated her but she's still unconscious. The wounds on her leg were quite deep and they seemed as though she stabbed herself, but we already stitched her up! There shouldn't be any more complications. Well run some tests after she wakes up and then she's free to go!"

"Thank you, Doctor."

While entering the ward, Jeremy was still confused. A hallucinogen? Alicia stabbed herself?

Had she been schemed against and was drugged?

No wonder she was so defensive when they met. She was holding a knife fiercely and her eyes were bloodshot. She must have thought he was a bad guy and that something was going to happen to her, causing her to put up such a fierce front!

Did she stab herself so many times just to keep herself awake and be out of harm's way?

She had really cherished herself!

The sudden realization made Jeremy paler.

He remembered the first word she spoke, "The hospital!" She was begging him to take her to the hospital! At first, he thought that she was injured but she was the one who stabbed herself! She tried so hard to stay conscious! Was she also on her guard against him?

She didn't want him to touch her!

Although he didn't mean it and he wouldn't have taken advantage of her even if she was drugged, the realization hurt him still!

While they were still a couple, it's not like they weren't impulsive before.

There were a few times when she looked at him so longingly he almost lost self-control. She mentioned a few times that all of her belonged to him and him alone but she wanted to save her chastity for their wedding night.

From her point of view, it was sacred, a moment to cherish. Their journey together was the best she could ask for. They had a good start, therefore she wanted a 'perfect' ending.

She told him that falling in love was the best dream.

She wanted it to be flawless and without regrets!

He could have waited till their wedding night to attain her and fulfill all this.

But, in the end, he still carried out his own plan and cruelly drew a conclusion between the two of them.

The whole night, Jeremy sat on the sofa staring blankly at the bed.

The next day, when Alicia opened her eyes, her head felt so heavy that she had a hard time holding it up.

"Argh."

Hitting her head with her hand, she noticed the white bandages on her hand. Turning around, all she saw was white.

The memories of the night before started coming back rapidly. She sat up and nervously checked her clothes before lifting the blanket.

Her pants were cut and her wounds were bandaged but she was still wearing her own clothes. She felt whole and normal. Although her head was still heavy, she was pleasantly surprised.

She couldn't help but smile while patting her chest. "It's a good thing that nothing happened!"

Closing her eyes, she stopped to pray in her heart. She should accept more online work in the future and be careful if she went out to work at night!

If something really happened to her again, she was afraid that she couldn't take it. She would lose the courage to live on.

This was the scene when Jeremy walked in to.

As he fixed his eyes on her, he felt his heart hurting again. "She really cared! Was she afraid of other men touching her or was she afraid of him?" he wondered.

She could dance at a nightclub and go to a hotel with a man, hence why would she still care about her chastity?

He was puzzled and his hands that were holding her breakfast trembled slightly.

When Alicia opened her eyes, she saw him. Their eyes met and both of them were stunned.

Then, he slowly walked over. "You must be hungry. The doctor said you need one more bottle of IV fluid before running some tests. Eat something first, it's good for your body!"

He brought a sandwich and a box of milk. She used to sleep in class and always skipped breakfast back in college.

After they got together, he would occasionally bring her breakfast.

The most convenient and nutritious meal was a sandwich and her favorite fresh milk. At that time, she would stop after finishing the milk and find him annoying because he would force her to finish the sandwich. Although it was just a sandwich, she would only have half and he would eat the rest.

It was a happy memory to him even at present.

But the past was the past, he shouldn't look back anymore.
