Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

It was like a bolt from the blue. Frederick couldn't believe his ears. "Will not be treated for the moment?"

As their eyes met, Carson could figure out just what Frederick was thinking about.

"I have already gathered some experts from various large-scale hospitals for a meeting. Other than that, I have also sent details of her condition to my friends overseas for their analysis! How shall I put it? From my research experience over the past few years, the quality of one's health, as well as one's mental wellbeing, is reflected directly on one's body. For example, people of the same age may each look younger or older than the other. Apart from the different levels of stress experienced, one's body also varies from each other! Alicia's body is currently healthy, or even a little chubbier than before. She isn't puffy, there aren't even any abnormal symptoms on her complexion or her organs. In a situation like this, it is better to keep monitoring her instead of misdiagnosing her and giving her the wrong treatment. This might also be a temporary peculiar reaction from her body that may heal on its own over time, or it could be something like our birthmarks; although their presence is known, they do nothing to our health other than altering one's appearance. In situations like these where there isn't a clear verdict regarding a patient's condition, it is best not to take any drugs recklessly as they may lead to greater danger."

Frederick finally understood what he meant.

"Do you want me to live in fear for the rest of my life?" He felt like he was hanging on by a thread, living on the edge and notion that she might leave this world at any time.

Closing his eyes, Frederick felt like he had aged more than a decade. Why was God punishing him like this?

If what he said was true, he did not mind living in fear for the rest of his life. However, what he was afraid of was... for things to not go as expected. What if this dark matter spread?

"Frederick, I will try my best! My only suggestion for now is to inoculate a protective drug from time to time. The hospital has just imported the latest type of protective drugs, it is an enhanced version that is specially developed for mothers to protect the fetus! It is not only harmless to the patient's body, but it can also prevent most of the virus from spreading to other organs. Many AIDS patients have relied on this method to give birth to a healthy fetus! We will never give up on treatmentNôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

and research!"

Carson then introduced the doctor behind him. "By the way, Loomis McGowan here is a brain specialist!"

The doctor gave Frederick a slight nod.

He said, "Based on my past experiences of handling various cases, I can deduce that as long as the patient's current condition doesn't worsen, it shouldn't affect her life. But the most possible complication that could happen due to brain diseases, is Alzheimer's disease which is commonly referred as Dementia. This disease is usually hereditary and happens to senior citizens or individuals who suffered from brain injuries. The patient's current situation is obviously not a part of any of the listed criteria. In addition, the patient has no obvious symptoms either. Therefore, it can definitely be prevented in advance!"

The doctor took a deep breath and continued.

"The most obvious, textbook symptoms of Dementia are unresponsiveness, forgetfulness, or sleepiness. These are basically caused by the atrophy or the degeneration of the cranial nerves! The patient is still young, and neither has her brain suffered any serious injuries. However, the more the brain is utilized, the more clever it becomes, just like the components of a machine! Just two days ago I met with a cancer patient who wasn't aware of her incurable disease, and who was given an estimate of not more than two years to live seven or eight years ago! Unfortunately, her cancer cells spread this time round. After knowing the truth, she became a different person. Before, she was in an excellent mental state, but she hasn't been eating much these days! I purposely gave you this example to let you know that being optimistic and using the brain more could possibly mitigate the illness! Moreover, it is most fortunate that we learned of the patient's condition early. As long as she proactively cooperates with us, it wouldn't be a problem to cure her once we learn of the cause of the disease! The only problem now is that these dark spots in her brain remain undiagnosed! In my honest opinion, it's best we continue to stay calm for the moment. The most important thing now is to help the patient maintain an optimistic attitude..."

In other words, there might still be hope.

The old man's words seemed to provide Frederick with some source of motivation. In an instant, his attitude changed tenfold. Suddenly, Frederick thought of something.

He said, "She has indeed been drowsier than usual during these past few days. I've always just written it off as her being tired because of her work, or that she was in a bad mood, or because she was getting ready to be pregnant!"

The last point did explain why she had become so indolent, willful, and picky! However, he had never thought the truth would be so shocking. "Frederick, it's not a good time to have a baby right now. It won't be good for both the mother and child! Let's wait until the diagnosis of the disease is confirmed!"

"I know! As long as she's fine, no matter how imperfect my life is, I'd still be alright with it!" The only thing he cared about was the woman in front of him!

When he spoke again, his voice was heavy and hoarse, "Let's not let her in on this for the time being then. Well just tell her it was her low blood sugar level!"

She had been so eager, and had tried so hard for a baby. Why did God have to be so cruel?

Frederick swallowed his saliva and

couldn't help but feel a deep, dark

sorrow spread within his chest. He He prayed silently, "God, please take pity on her. She is so kind, and so

innocent. Please give her one more chance. Please give her a little more time!"

After going through the details again with the doctors, Frederick walked out of the room with heavy steps.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the ward, he heard a soft laughter coming from inside. "I said I'm okay. I only knocked my head, and it didn't even hurt at all. Getting hospitalized was just an overkill."

"Hey, eat this, it's delicious! Go back to work after you've finished eating! You guys were scared, weren't you? I'm fine! Don't worry about me!" Frederick felt as if there were stones and pebbles stuck in his throat. He called the nurse over and found an excuse to dismiss all the workers. Frederick then turned around and gradually pushed open the door of the ward.

He saw Alicia sitting on the bed, eating an apple happily. A glint of surprise flashed across her eyes when she saw him. "Hubby, why are you here?" Alicia poked her head and was about to get out of bed when Frederick ran towards her quickly, "Don't move!"

"This must be Carson's doing again.

I was just busy today and knocked my head before I had lunch. I can't believe that I even fainted. I'm fine! not hurt at all! I think was

Look, m just too hungry, but I can instantly regain my strength by eating

something!"

Leaning her head against Frederick's body, Alicia chuckled. She blinked and pouted, "Did I make you worry again? I'm such a troublemaker!"

Looking at her beautiful face,

Frederick could hardly believe that she was still mocking and degrading herself. He couldn't help laughing, and had even almost burst into tears Frederick hugged her, and held her tightly in his arms. He then lifted his head in an attempt to hold back his tears. Content bélongs to

"What are you talking about? You are never a troublemaker. Even if you are, you're my troublemaker!"

No matter how she behaved, and regardless of what happened to her, she was still his responsibility!
