Chapter 877 Chapter 877 Her disappointment drenched her like a basin of cold water. In an instant, Alicia's mood was ruined. At the stime, the corners of her lips drooped.
Why did this happen so suddenly? Didn't he go hto pack his stuff? Thinking of all her efforts wasted, Alicia's heart ached.
On the other hand, Frederick was still outside the hospital as he excused himself. He could not go htonight. He wasn't lying when he said he was going on a business trip, but the flight was in the latter half of the night. "What's wrong? Is there anything you need?" Pouting, Alicia suppressed her unhappiness and said, "No, I just...I just miss you!" She couldn't understand why, but she desperately wanted to be with him at this moment! "You silly girl! Didn't you stay withyesterday? I have to attend an important meeting, so I'll be away for a few days. I'm in a hurry, so I will go directly to the airport! Take good care of yourself! I'll call you when I'm free!" Coaxing her gently, Frederick squeezed his cell phone, veins bulging under his skin. He looked at the street lights lighting up in the distance and knew that he could not talk for too long.

"I'm fine. Honey, take good care of yourself. Remember to callwhen you're free. I'll be waiting!" "I will!" After saying a few more words, Frederick hung up the phone. Looking at the words "Honey" saved on the caller ID, he couldn't help but sigh. "Ally, just wait forme." Frederick composed himself and gave Chet a phone call before returning to the ward.
Danica was lying on the bed in the room. Her sparse hair had turned white, and her illness showed through her yellowed complexion. She looked extremely pitiful when she laid there weakly, but whenever he thought of the terrible things she had done, he had to silently recite Alicia's nmany times in his heart so that he could barely pull a smile from the corners of his mouth.
Sitting by the bed, he picked up an apple and started cutting it for her. He went straight to the point, "I have booked a ticket to Buranda for a business trip! The flight departs at 12.15. Do you think you'd be well enough to make it?" "Yes, as long as I can be with you, I'll do it even if I have to crawl there!" Taking a piece of apple, Danica's gentle eyes were filled with tenderness. She only had eyes for Frederick. "Frederick, I want to wear a wedding dress before I lose all my hair. I don't want to look ugly on my wedding day. Could we please hold the ceremony in Casterwich City? I don't mind having just a small party, but I want to settle down in the place where I grew up. After all, I don't want to beca wandering ghost after my death!" Frederick paused for a moment, and a dim light flashed in his eyes. "Sure, I'll arrange it as soon as I'm back. Don't worry about it." The earlier he got this matter done, the faster he could get the antidote! Taking another bite of the apple, Danica smiled, her eyes sparkling. How wonderful it would be if all this were true! She would be happy even if she only had half a year left to live! Soon, Frederick settled the discharge formalities for her. At the stime, he asked Chet to book a ticket for her. They packed up hurriedly and went to the airport.
Meanwhile, Alicia no longer had any appetite because of Frederick's sudden departure. In the dimly lighted room, she sat on the sofa blankly until it was dark, and everything was quiet. She stood up in a daze. She cooked sstew for supper and froze the rest. After eating, she returned to her room and stared at the cold and empty bed. Her heart ached even more. Subconsciously, she held her cell phone in her hand again and fiddled with it. In the end, she put it back down. In a fit, she violently knocked her own head.
"Don't think about him! He's working so tirelessly on a business trip, I must not disturb him..." She knew Frederick well. When he said that he would call her back, he meant that he would be very busy and wouldn't want her to bother him. According to his usual outstation schedule, the only tshe could contact him was breakfast tbefore 7 a.m., and after 10 p.m.
Yes, Alicia knew the rules! It was just that sometimes, her heart refused to listen to logic.
She grew increasingly restless after taking a shower. She tried to distract herself by carrying a doll in her arms and listening to music, but she was still upset. As she turned around, Alicia noticed the shopping bags on a small table which she had bought when she went out that day. Lying beside it, there were two delivery boxes that hadn't been sorted out yet.

She sorted out the items into different categories. Then, she opened the package and unwrapped the clothes one by one. She didn't need to wear them anytsoon, so she didn't remove the tags. She just folded them one by one and hung them up in her wardrobe. She felt much better after tidying up. When she saw the clothes she bought for Frederick left on the table, she clutched them in her arms and her heart calmed down immediately.
"Honey, I'm really not used to it when you're not around." Even though they were usually busy with their own lives, it was still different when he was not around. Without realizing it, Alicia's eyes started to well up O with tears. Sheet
raised her head to stop her tears, She opened Frederick's side of the
wardrobe. As she took out a clothes hanger, she his clothe messed up She put them aside, and went to tidy up the wardrobe. She quickly rearranged the position of his suits. Out of habit, she rifled through the suit pockets and exclaimed, "Hey, there is a hundred dollars here? How lucky!" She tidied up the clothes and kept the money. Then she rummaged through the suit pockets one by one. After that, she went through Frederick's pants as well. Her bright eyes shone with greed! Her fingers felt something paper-like and she screamed excitedly, "I knew it, there's more!" She was surprised when she saw what was in her hands. "Huh? It's just spaper?" Fearing that it was something important, Alicia instinctively opened the folded piece of paper. Opening it, she saw a printed receipt, attached to it was a thin sheet of paper that looked like a medical report. She didn't notice it initially since there was a thicker sheet of paper on the outside. "This scrawled handwriting looks like an autograph. Why does it look like a doctor's prescription? Is he sick?" After looking through it, Alicia knew that it was a medical bill, but it was filled with abbreviated characters. For a moment, she couldn't understand what it meant. Holding the receipt, she walked to a laptop next to her and searched the abbreviations on the Internet.
