Chapter 865
The inadvertent movement made Frederick swallowed the words that he was about to say, "Are you sleepy?"
It was a good thing for her to get a good sleep!
"Yup!"
Nodding, Alicia couldn't help but yawn again, "Hubby, I'm so sleepy. I'm going to sleep for a while. I don't need to eat anything anymore. Please don't wake me up!"
Alicia hung her arms around his neck, gave him a kiss, and climbed back to bed, already muddle-headed.
After pulling up the quilt for her, he sat down beside her. A shallow breathing sound could be heard from the bed. He stroked the hair on her temples and sat there in a daze for a long time. Looking at the sleeping beauty, it was picturesque like a fairy tale. A thought gradually solidified in his mind. Danica made some sort of sense. If I can exchange half a year time for a lifetime, why not? She is still so young and her life has just begun! As long as she is alive, there is nothing better than that! There will always be hope as long as she
lives...
When one door shuts, another opens, He would surely think of a way that would be best for both worlds!
Frederick clenched his fists several times, gritted his teeth. The only thought that kept echoing in his mind was, I want to save her, I must save her! I can't delay anymore. I must not delay anymore...
Holding her hand, he placed a gentle kiss on it. His eyes were lost in thought.
"Ally, will you believe in me?"
Six months is not a very long time. However, Danica's words were untrustworthy. He didn't expect her to really hand over the so-called antidote, even if it could relieve her illness a little. But as time went by, Carson's team could have more hope with experimenting with both Chinese and Western medicine.
Whatever the case was. It was better than watching her suffer!Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
He couldn't lose her! He absolutely couldn't!
But he could accept anything as long as she lived a good life.
Thinking about it in this way, Frederick felt as if his heart was being stabbed over and over again. "If you recover, will I lose you forever too?"
"Ally, will you believe in me? Will you wait for me?" It wouldn't take long, just half a year!
As he held her soft figure, Frederick closed his eyes for a moment, bitterness filling in his eyes.
The bitterness in his throat rolled up and down a little. Suddenly, he recalled something and immediately opened his eyes. Frederick's gaze fell back onto the bed, with his sorrowful eyes lit up.
He caressed her face once again. A hint of a bitter smile appeared on the corner of Frederick's mouth, "I'm willing to do anything for you..."
"You will be fine! Her life is dependent on your health. If Danica really dared to take your life away, I will take hers! Even if God doesn't want to take her away, I will do it myself. I will use her last moments to keep you safe and sound!"
He thought that she would possess more realization after all she experienced in the Randolph family. After all, it seemed like he had overestimated her sense of humanity! One really couldn't judge a book by its cover!
He sighed with regret, but there was no cure for regret! But who would have thought that a dying woman would be so brazen? But the horse has bolted, shutting the gate now was useless. If he had thought of the remote island earlier and sent her there, they wouldn't be in this situation right
now.
He can only blame himself for not being ruthless enough! He never really knew this woman!
"Alas..."
Getting up, Frederick picked up his phone and walked out resolutely, "Chet, do me a favour..."
For the next few days, Frederick worked around Alicia's schedule.
That day, as soon as Alicia entered the door, she saw a familiar car. As expected, all the servants were gathered in the living room since the kitchen was occupied again by someone.
"Help me bring this upstairs!"
After handing her bag to the servant, Alicia took off her coat, rolled up her sleeves, and went into the kitchen.
She was greeted with loud clangs of pots and pans. She noticed that there were already two dishes on the table, stir-fried vegetables and fried broccoli mixed with pork. The scent of chicken soup teased her nostrils. Everything looked excellent.
Alicia stared at the immense figure
standing next to the cooking stove in surprise. What was going on with
him? Why has he been returning et
home earlier than her every day, and even cooking for her? Before this, he hardly set foot into the kitchen.
After Frederick dished the stir-fried egg and tomato onto the plate, he turned around and saw her standing dumbstruck at the door, "You're back! It's time to eat! This time, I finally remembered to put less salt..."
Although the ingredients were prepped by the kitchen staff, it still took an effort to memorize the recipe and cook it properly.
Frederick suddenly realized the
hardships that she went through. It was extremely difficult to be a
for
housewife, it wasn't a job everyone.
Anyhow, the prepared ingredients were well-matched to the various simple dishes he was able to cook well. Of course, as he was afraid that if she would get sick from consuming raw food, he tended to cook them a little longer. After all, he didn't want to make her condition worse. He followed Carson's suggestions and made fresh and light dishes. Apart from a little salt, he didn't use much else.
Fortunately, she was not a picky eater. She hasn't refused his cooking at all.
Once the dishes were served on the table, Frederick went back into the kitchen and filled a bowl with some chicken soup and some pieces of chicken that looked really delicious. After removing the chicken skin, he served them to her.
Frederick also served her a bowl of light porridge then gave her a tiny whole-grain steamed bun.
Alicia's face had a huge smile as she sat down. She served him some broccoli and meat while praising him lavishly. "Hubby, you did a great job. You're worth teaching. This is a reward for you!"
Frederick picked up his fork and served her too. "Eat more!"
He only knew how to cook some simplest dishes. He was lucky they didn't taste badl!
Since she was starving, Alicia enjoyed the steaming dishes in front of her. It didn't take long for half of the middle-sized steamed buns to disappear. After drinking some soup, she said,
"I want to eat some boiled eggs. Hubby, did you cook one for me?"
"Huh? I almost forgot!"
Getting up, he quickly brought out two eggs in a bowl. "Luckily, it's still warm!"
Cracking open one egg, Alicia peeled off the egg whites, dug out half the yolk, then gave it to him. Without batting an eyelid, Frederick instinctively ate
it.
Frederick smiled at her appetite. She ate two pieces of egg white and half a piece of egg yolk after eating the small steamed buns.
He was glad she had a great appetite!
The amount she ate in one meal was almost a whole day's meal!
As he chewed on the steamed buns, Frederick couldn't help but feel guilty. He knew very well that the reason why she was eating well was so that she could give birth to his baby!
Looking at her at the present moment, Frederick felt happy. Yet feelings of sadness still emerged in his heart!
