Chapter 574


    "Frederick? What is it? What''s wrong?"


    It was only when Frederick heard Chet speak that he looked at him absentmindedly and said, "My Dad had a heart attack suddenly. They are saving him now..."


    When Chet noticed the hand that was holding the phone kept trembling, he stood up, picked up the car keys, and said, "I''ll take you there!"


    It was obvious that he cared and loved his father very much. No matter how shallow their rtionship was, blood would always be thicker than water! When he arrived at the hospital in a daze, the lights in the operating room went out. Then, the doctor came out.


    "Luckily he was sent early! It was a myocardial infarction. The patient has woken up and his condition is under control at present. If it worsens, the patient must undergo surgery. In addition, he has to get enough rest and avoid being too tired. The patient is old and it is not suitable for him to overwork. He has to stay in the hospital for a month for us to monitor his condition and we''ll arrange medication for him shortly! You can go in and see him, but do not stay too long..."


    "Thank you, doctor!"


    Subsequently, Penny, Mason, and Hallie all swarmed in, followed by the assistant housekeeper and someone who looked like a senior executive in thepany. Frederick and Chet remained outside instead.


    Just as Frederick turned around, Chet reached his hand out to stop him. "Frederick, you''re already here!"


    It''s just two more steps.


    Frederick paused for a moment, but Chet pushed him a few steps forward, "At least have a look before you leave!" Just when Frederick was dragged to the door, he heard a slightly weak but clear male voiceing from the ward.


    "I''m fine! Mason and the deputy president will temporarily lead thepany. Before I leave the hospital, all affairs will be finalized between them. Every resolution from the board of directors, cough... should be reported to me regrly!"


    "Yes, Chairman!"


    "Christian, do not talk anymore. You need to rest now... Take care of your body first!" "Yes! Dad, do not worry. I''ll take care of everything in thepany!"


    Chet suddenly regretted urging Frederick toe over after looking at the family gathered around the bed and listening to their conversation as he stood outside. His eyes unconsciously fell on Frederick''s face. In addition to the worry on his face, he also saw a faint trace of hurt.


    Frederick turned around and strode away, so did Chet. Christian turned his head and happened to catch the dark figure that was leaving. He was inexplicably excited and immediately started coughing again.N?velDrama.Org holds this content.


    "Cough... Cough..."


    "Dad, don''t rush, take your time to speak..."


    "Doctor, doctor! Quick..."


    After getting into the car, Frederick''s eyes barely opened the entire journey. The atmosphere in the car was quiet and depressing. At a red light, Chet looked behind him through the rearview mirror. He moved his lips for a long time but did not say anything in the end.


    After getting out of the car, Frederick walked straight to Robson Garden. His long ck shadow dragged out endless loneliness.


    Chet turned around, picked up his phone, and dialed Alicia''s number, "Miss Swift..."


    On the other side, Alicia hurriedly pulled down her sleeves upon hearing the news and said, "Okay, I know! Thank you, I''ll go home right away!"


    Alicia sped all the way home. As soon as she got out of the car, Sebastian called her twice in a row but she refused his calls. She guessed that he probably wanted her to apany him to gamble. But when she found that he wouldn''t stop bothering her, she sent a message to Nichs to exin the situation and then removed the battery.


    As expected, she saw Frederick slouching on the sofa with a gloomy and decadent feeling around him as if he had been abandoned by the whole world as soon as she entered. Alicia slowed down her pace, walked to his side, opened her arms, and tried to hold him in her arms to give him some warmth.


    For a long time, she just hugged him without saying a word.


    A momentter, Frederick slowly opened his eyes and embraced her. He wrapped his arms around her and rubbed her short fluffy hair. "Did Chet ask you toe back?"


    "Mr. Reynes is not someone that likes to gossip!" Alicia rubbed against his neck gently and said,


    "Our hearts are linked...Hubby, love isn''t always expressed the same way. Current medical technology is so developed now, he will be fine!"


    She did not know how tofort him. But her heart ached for him!


    Later, Frederick told her about his father''s sudden illness, admission to the hospital, and what he heard from his father. However, he could not hide the pain he felt in his words.


    "Ever since I was a child, I always thought that it made no difference if he was in my life or not. But today, when I heard that he was in a critical condition, my heart suddenly felt empty... Huh, perhaps I am just an outsider who is biologically rted to him in his heart. He treats me with nothing but guilt!"


    What he wanted was never guilt, but the love of a father! However, he only had eyes for the others in the family!


    Frederick clenched his fists and his heart was filled with love and hate.


    She held his hand, put it on her lips, and kissed it.


    "You''re wrong! Perhaps your father''s arrangement is purely out of realistic consideration, and has nothing to do with a father''s love! Frederick, do you care about the Clements family''s inheritance? In other words, do you care more about whether your father handed over thepany to your brother or that he had not mentioned you at all?" Frederick looked at her and Alicia smiled.


    "Thetter, right? The Four Great Masters of Casterwich City are famous. Soaver International and Championus Media''s reputations are also far above the Clements Group! And now, the Clements Group is benefitting from you!"


    Alicia gently caressed his cheek then gently kissed the corner of his mouth.


    "To put it bluntly, a temporary manager does not indicate the division of the family nor the distribution of the inheritance. This does not mean that your father is biased towards any of you! If I were him, I think I would make the same decision!"


    Frederick looked at her with surprise, but the smile on the corner of Alicia''s mouth widened.


    "Both are his children that he cannot


    abandon. But you''re powerful. You have Soaver International. Although I


    cannot say that Mason is


    ipetent, he is living under your shadows and he truly doesn''t have


    palch


    anything! Crying children will get their food, but you are a strong man who will not shed tears. However, I think your father loves you more than Mason. There are who do not love their child, not to mention an outstanding child. Even though my brother is so rebellious that he always got involved in fights and even got caught by the police; my father had driven him out countless times and often said that he did not have a son like him, but he always secretly looked at my brother''s photos in the study and often secretly asked people to look after him... My brother was clueless about these things! He always thought that they did not like him and would onlyin about him! Frederick, there are many types of love. Some can be seen while some cannot. However, just because we cannot see it doesn''t mean it doesn''t exist! Just like our separation. All I see is rebellion and betrayal, but what you give me is love that I can never forget!"


    Since he was willing to give her a ghost marriage, he was worthy of her whole life.
