Chapter 411


    Mrs. nchard smiled as she nodded her head.


    "They''ve been very thoughtful, and helped out whenever I needed an extra hand! Your dad has difficulty moving around and he feels ufortable having body contact with others, anyway! We could tell that Frederick is really sincere. The people he sent over are all very honest. They hadn''t done anything suspicious and they''re almost the same age as me! Ally, you should treat Frederick better, don''t be too stubborn. Although a man will be very loving towards you and will pamper you, the infatuation period won''tst forever! It''s hard to find a man who would dote on you like this! You should cherish him..."


    "Mom, I understand!"


    Alicia thought about it and decided to tell her mom the truth. Otherwise, it would be hard for her to deal with it if anything happened suddenly. She brought her mom to an empty room and briefly exined what had happened.


    "Mom, don''t worry! I''ll figure it out! However... I can''t confirm whether this is true or not. Think carefully, did anything abnormal happen recently? We need to deal with this properly! I can''t put dad''s life at risk, and I don''t want to hurt Frederick as well! It''s best that we can find out the root of the problem. Let''s send Dad for a check-up! Also, we must not tell anyone else about this, and don''t show it out of your actions as well! We have to be extra careful! We have no idea what''s happening. Perhaps someone is spying on us right now?"


    "How could this be? Everything was fine, how could it..."


    Mrs. nchard shook her head and it was obvious that she was frightened. They hugged each other and couldn''t hold back the urge to cry. She suppressed her voice and said softly, "It can''t be! I ate the same things as your dad ate at home! Even if there were helpers around, I was always nearby. I''ve never heard your dad say anything about feeling unwell! Your dad can''t even go out. Aside from going for his regr check-ups in the hospital, we never went anywhere else! We had always specially arranged transport when we went to the hospital, and everything went smoothly once we reached. There was never a need to queue up as well. There shouldn''t be any mishaps, but how could this happen? Is it possible that we have a spy in our house? Should we fire all our helpers?"


    "No! Mom, you can''t panic now! We cannot draw any attention to ourselves! Here''s the n, let''s not do anything today. Tomorrow, you will call me to tell me that dad feels unwell and I wille back home to bring him for a check-up. We cannot go to Doctor Vives this time! I''ll contact Marshall tonight. Once I''ve finished arranging everything, call me!" Alicia told her mom.


    Alicia forced herself to calm down while holding her Mom''s hand.


    "Mom, we cannot panic and mess things up now!" She continued. "We will figure it out eventually! But you need to be extra careful. Don''t let any strangers go near Dad, and take note of dad''s condition. Call me immediately if anything happens! As for whether to tell Frederick or not, we will see how things go. We will discuss this again after dad gets his check-up done! There must be a way to solve this! I''ll arrange everything when I get back! Don''t show your anxiety as well so that you won''t scare dad if this was all just a hoax."


    After they''ve both agreed on the n, only then did Alicia go back, her head feeling muddled.


    She tried to gather her thoughts. That person wanted Soaver International''s project proposal, and gave her seven days as a time limit. That would mean that her dad was at least safe for the next seven days. In the meantime, she had to find a proper solution for this.


    She was not in the mood to cook, hence she ordered some takeaways instead.


    Frederick sensed she was not herself while they ate. "What''s wrong?" He asked. "Did something happen? Why do you look so down?"


    "Do I? Maybe I''m too tired these days!"


    Alicia rubbed her cheeks and tried to control her emotions. She served some food for Frederick and said, "Hubby, have you been very busytely? What have you been up to? I feel like such a failure! I haven''t been paying any attention to you!"


    Since this issue was rted with Soaver International, she wondered if she could find any clues from him.


    For a moment, Alicia was torn about whether or not she should tell him about the threat.


    Since they were just casually chatting, Frederick didn''t put his guard up.


    "There are about ten more days until the auction of thend in the west city begins! Recently, I''ve been busy examining and checking,ing up with proposals, and having meetings every day! It is hard work indeed! I will definitely seed in getting thend! I don''t n to build a residential area with thisnd anymore! Instead, I n to set up a budget condominium with a part of it that will only be avable for rent. Malls, schools, and a big yground


    will be set up around thyground


    condominium! I n to set up an orphanage in the suburbs where children are not discriminated against by wealth! I hope that every single child will have a happy and healthy childhood! The whole project will take about four to five years. By then, we will have a child of our own that should be at preschool age! We can bring our child to have some fun during the weekends! The ce where my own child will y should be the safest! If I don''t keep an eye on the construction personally, how could I be assured? I n to use the best materials for all the


    entertainment facilities, and with extra safety measures! Hopefully, it''ll be ready in time as a gift for our child!"


    Frederick sounded excited as he spoke about his n. Unknowingly, he told everything to her.


    "For the industrial area in the city,


    I''ve decided to split it into two parts.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    I


    A part of it will be to satisfy the needs of the lower-middle ss, whereas the other part will be set up for international brands where it will be convenient for you to shop around! In the future, I will free up more time during the weekends so that I can apany you shopping, and y with our baby! Since I''ve decided to marry you and have a child with you, I have to be responsible for both of you! I will definitely be a good husband and give you and our baby the best of everything!" He continued. Content


    His child will be the most blessed child once he is born! He will never allow his child to experience the same tragedy that happened to him!


    As she listened to him describing his ns filled with vision and love for their future, Alicia felt like there was a lump in her throat and was tempted to


    tell him so many times. However, when she thought about the ck line on her dad''s hand, she hesitated and held back.


    "You''re the best, Hubby!"


    That night, she kept filling his te with food. In her heart, she felt an overwhelming pressure.


    Frederick was busy working in the study tillte at night. Alicia specially heated some hot soup for him. She peeped on him and made sure that he was still busy working.


    She didn''t stay there for long. In her bedroom, she sent Marshall a message to check on his schedule.


    The next day, Alicia brought her dad to the hospital with her mom. When they arrived, she pulled Marshall to the side and told him about the situation.


    "Can you please help me by giving


    my dad a checkup? Is it possible for you to arrange some trustworthy people and keep this a secret? Don''t tell anyone about this! It''ll be best if nobody else except you see the results! Please, I beg you! I don''t know who else to ask for help apart from you!" Alicia begged. Content


    "I got it! Don''t worry, I''ll make the necessary arrangements for you! Actually, I could sense that something was up when you called mest night. You


    stay here and apany Mrs. nchard. Don''t panic, trust me!" Marshall nodded his head seriously.


    He then made some phone calls and arranged for Martin to undergo various check-ups.
