Chapter 861


    ?


    In Bayton City, the two of them visited many ces. Both intentionally and unintentionally, Frederick brought Alicia to ces that made a deep impression in her mind, regardless of good or bad. He had even brought her to the hotel where Jeremy had abandoned her back in the day. Alicia was unperturbed. Other thanmenting about the past, her feelings towards all the ces had be blurry. However, as they rode in the cable car to the top of the mountain to watch the sunset, she huddled in Frederick''s arms, her smile full of happiness.


    Watching the brilliant red glow of the sun gradually disappear into the horizon, Alicia felt a strange sadness as thest glimmer of light faded away.


    "Beautiful sceneries always seem particrly short-lived..."


    She''s right! Peace and happiness in life are momentary.


    Frederick lowered his head and gently nted a kiss on her hair. His lips curled into a faint smile.


    "However, it is its short-lived presence that makes it precious. The more beautiful it is, the more precious it should be! Ally, I wish I could freeze this moment in time. I want to hold you in my arms, forever..."


    She felt warm in his embrace. Eventually, he hugged her tighter.


    She would definitely recover, right? She has to! She can''t forget him!


    He sincerely prayed to the heavens!


    "From now on, you can bring me here once a year! Next time, we can visit earlier to climb up the mountain! If you didn''t need to go back a day earlier, we wouldn''t have needed to ride the cable car! Anyway, time doesn''t have to stop. Life should go on in wonderful continuity."


    She felt secure with him by her side. There was nothing to be afraid of.


    As Alicia gently closed her eyes, Frederick''s heart squeezed. The truth burned in the back of his throat. The reason for their early return was because he suddenly recalled his appointment for his contraceptive injection. He had been holding out on her for days These days, he had been finding all kinds of excuses to refuse her. He had already lost control earlier that day. He knew that by the time she recovered, his excuses and selfcontrol would have already reached their limits.


    However, when he opened his mouth, Frederick


    changed the topic.


    "Ally, am I engraved on your heart? What if one day you fall ill and hurt your head. What if you can''t think anymore, nor speak, will you... forget everything between us?"


    Giggling, Alicia raised her hand and poked his forehead. "Have you been watching too many dramas? Why would I have amnesia? I am not vegetative, and I don''t have a brain injury!"


    Alicia tilted her head and deliberately teased him.


    "Even if I forget you, I will definitely remember the person who showed me this beautiful sunset! Did you know, when my dad was unable to talk and move, I felt that as long as he is still alive and breathing, he will stay by my side and never forget me! We never gave up and we had managed to pull through in the end!"


    However, it was a hellish situation to be in! The unending waiting and despair was something one had to go through to truly understand.


    As Frederick was about to open his mouth, she cut him off and said, "If it were me, if I knew in advanced, then I would probably hide somewhere far away!"


    With a bright smile, Alicia said thoughtfully,


    "That time when my father could finally stand up on his own two feet, the sentence that hemented the most was ''I regret being like this.'' I knew that he felt sorry for my mom! In just a few short years, my mother aged and almost seemed like a different person! But I deeply believe, that my mother was willing to exchange her beauty for the soulmate of her life! When my father finally woke up, the smile on my mother''s face struck me deeply! With my father better now, she even seems younger..."


    But wasn''t she the same?


    She was much thinnerpared to before and she had lost her baby fat. Maybe it was because that she was still rtively young, so she didn''t look that much older. However, her skin seemed to be tightened due to the mountainous workload she faced.


    She was well had been over the past few years. If it was not the fact that she owed her parents, perhaps she would have chosen to free herself from this burden a long time ago.


    aware of how tired she


    Now that she recalled her father''s words, she seemed to understand a little better.


    She stared at Frederick seriously.


    "If that dayes, I wish to have fulfilled my promises. Give me a year! I will not let you down, nor be a burden to you! As long as you are happy, I would have no regrets!"


    If her life really had such an oue, holding on to this wonderful memory was enough. She loved him deeply, and didn''t want him to suffer!


    Of course, if the heavens were willing, she would choose to stay by his side to the end of her life!


    She loved him that much.


    Raising her hand, she gently touched his angr jaw, her eyes full of love. He had given her so much. At that moment, she didn''t care what it was, she would give him her all.


    Little did she know, every single word she said was deeply etched into Frederick''s heart. Even though he noticed that she was speaking from her own perspective.


    He swallowed all the things that he wanted to confess about her illness. He was afraid that she would really disappear from his world, just like what she had said earlier.


    Frederick held her in his arms, temporarily suppressing all his rioting thoughts, and expressed it in another way.


    "If it were me, would do the same. I


    will try everything, and never give up! I will definitely grasp onto everyst glimmer of hope! Ally, there''s


    l.n


    nothing that is more important to


    me than you! I will give up everything


    for you. Everything..." Content


    No matter what, he would definitely save her. He would be by her side until death. He knew that she, a girl who never gave up on her father despite the odds, would also stay by his side forever.


    His Ally was worth it!


    "It''s getting dark, let''s go back!"


    Frederick fixed her jacket a little, "It''s cold at night. You''re not allowed to take it off until you get home!"


    They took the cable car back again.

    The trip to Bayton City was indeed a memorable experience for Alicia. When they returned home, she sorted out the photos they tookpiling like like a diary, keeping it in her own encrypted space... Content belongs to


    After returning, Frederick found an opportunity to visit the hospital. After the injection, he went straight to Carson''s office.


    As he pushed the door open, a fierce voice suddenly rang out, "Who is it? Don''t you know-?"


    "Frederick?"


    Looking up from the files in his hands, Carson calmed himself down and stood up immediately. He scratched his head disconcertedly.


    "Frederick, you''re here! Have a seat. I''ll get you a drink!"


    "Why are you so furious? Are you under too much pressure?" Knowing that his private affairs had caused him a lot of trouble recently, Frederick felt sorry for Carson.


    Carson shook his head and said, "The results are out, but I couldn''t find the problem!"Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.
