Chapter 49 Can I Come To You?


    Chapter 49 Can I Come To You?


    Edmond seemed really angry.


    When Alicia went downstairs with Edmond to go to work, Edmond got into his car without looking


    back and didn''t say goodbye to Alicia.


    When Alicia came back to her senses, she froze in surprise.


    It was so weird. Edmond had never said goodbye to her before. What the hell was she thinking?


    Before Alicia could continue to be troubled, thepany called her.


    "Ms. Casey, there will be a temporary meetingter. Those directors want to see you."


    Her heart sank.


    Alicia had probably guessed why the directors wanted to hold a meeting.


    Then Alicia hurried to the office. The moment one of the directors saw Alicia, he condemned her.


    "You promisedst time that you would take the project with the AQ Group. And we all believed you


    and didn''t interfere with your rights. But is this your answer? It is such a great project! I can''t believe


    you let our arch-rivalpany get this project! Alicia, you''re quite a piece of work."


    Alicia was mentally prepared.


    "I have another solution for this."


    However, the board members didn''t want to hear what she had to say and began to condemn her.


    "Peter rmended you as acting CEO, and he has repeatedly emphasized that you are his most


    trusted and reliable candidate. You get this position through your connection. That has already


    upset us. Now, you''re still messing up thepany like this. And thepany is facing huge


    losses. Could you handle it?"


    These directors had long been dissatisfied with Alicia, so they took this opportunity to give Alicia a


    hard time.


    It was not the first time Alicia had faced harsh criticism and bashing from the directors.


    In the past, Alicia handled these people with ease. However, after dealing with them, she returned


    to the office and felt depressed.


    She usually chose to call Grace and asked her out for a drink to drown her sorrows.


    Since Grace was pregnant, she couldn''t drink alcohol and easily got emotional. Therefore, Alicia


    didn''t want Grace to be affected by her bad mood.


    After thinking about it for a long time, Alicia decided to call Edmond.


    Edmond had a terrible look on his face right after he finished reading Melissa''s CT report.


    "I need to schedule you for surgery as soon as possible."


    Melissa nodded and looked calm. "Go ahead."


    "I''ve checked out the schedule. You will have surgery in two weeks at the earliest."


    "Alright."


    Edmond lowered his eyes. After thinking for a short while, he said, "The surgery doesn''t have a high


    sess rate. Even if I were to do this surgery for you, I can''t promise you that."


    However, Melissaughed and said, "Don''t worry. If I die on the operating table, I won''t me you."


    If she died, she would lose everything. Even if she had to me Edmond, she couldn''t be able to.


    Melissa wouldn''t me him, but Alicia would...


    "Licia has a right to know about this. At the very least, you have to let her mentally prepare for it."


    "But I''m afraid it''ll give her a hard time."


    "Now, she''s not short of money. If you want to ept the treatment, she can afford to pay the


    medical bills. She doesn''t need to beg anyone anymore."


    Melissa knew Alicia wasn''t short of money right now.


    However, when it came to the people closer to her, the harder it was for Melissa to say goodbye.


    As Melissa was dwelling on the issue, Edmond''s cell phone rang.


    Edmond didn''t usually answer his cell phone at work. When he saw that it was Alicia calling him, he


    froze. And he held the phone for a moment and did not know what to do.


    After all, Melissa was an experienced person, and Melissa could guess who was calling from the


    look on Edmond''s face. Then she quickly waved her hand and said, "Don''t tell her about this yet.


    Give me a moment..."


    Edmond walked out of the hospital room before answering Alicia''s phone call.


    "Hello."

    Alicia''s serious tone seemed a little unusual.


    There was silence on the other side of the phone for a few seconds. Then Edmond heard an


    uncertain voice. "Are you busy?"


    Edmond heard her voice sound a little uneasy. Then his heart skipped a beat. He answered her in a


    soft tone, "I''m okay. What''s going on?"


    "Can I meet you at the hospital?"
