Chapter 868
Getting up, Chet said, "Alright, then I'll go get ready now!"
As Frederick came back to his senses, he answered the call. As expected, a demonic voice sounded, cajoling yet threatening.
This time, Frederick's voice was calm, "How do I know if I can trust your words? Let's meet! Same old place!"
He wasn't sure if she had the antidote in her hands. Even if her antidote was effective, he wouldn't compromise!
Frederick's pace was obviously much faster this time when he headed to the North Hills.
Instead of returning home after he had taken the pills, he detoured to the hospital. Soon, Carson came back with the analysis report.
"Is it effective? Is this a cure?"
Carson nodded, yet shook his head again.
"According to the report, we found that this pill can suppress the illness for a time, yet it can't heal the illness completely. We're conducting experiments on mice right now. I'll give you an update by tomorrow, is that alright?"
"Why aren't you telling me? Don't beat around the bush!"
"Where did you get this? All the substances in the pill are common substances based on the analysis report. From what you told me, Alicia was infected by a poisonous drug that probably has its roots in traditional Chinese medicine. However, this pill is clearly of western origin!"
The question was, how can this western medicine inhibit the effects of traditional Chinese poison? Moreover, Carson did not explain further. According to his analysis, the components of the drug were similar to a compound vitamin. It was almost disappointingly ordinary.
For someone like him to not have any progress even after studying and investigating for many days, he was starting to doubt the capabilities of his subordinates. Therefore, he did not reveal everything.
"It's from Danica! Whatever it's made of, as long as it works, right? Since we have the antidote, it's much easier for us to duplicate the production of it rather than creating one from scratch, isn't it?"
Even if it's a pill a month, or a pill a day, as long as it works. Then they would be able to buy more time.
"Of course!"
"Alright, you keep half of it. I'll give Ally the rest! I'll find another excuse to bring her for another checkup tomorrow. Well see if she improves!" As he released a sigh of relief, Frederick's mood was a mix of sorrow and joy."Will it work?"
That wicked woman!
That night when he returned home, Frederick purposely bought some of the "soupless" crab roe soup dumplings that she loved. Due to what happened the last time, he specially set up a partition and door at the balcony. Creating a leisure area for her.
As soon as the delicious food was served on the table, Alicia's eyes suddenly lit up. "Wow... soup dumplings!"
Putting down the digital tablet in her hand, she immediately went to wash her hands. As she was distracted, Frederick poured her a cup of warm water and dropped a certain pill into it. After the pill melted away, he turned around and handed it to her.
"It's all yours! Eat slowly and don't choke yourself. Here, drink some water first!"
"Mm, it's as delicious as before!"
After swallowing a small dumpling, Alicia drank half the glass of water with much satisfaction.
Seeing this, Frederick also let out a sigh of relief. "Take your time. I'll go shower first! Remember to drink all the water!"
"Okay! Hubby, don't you want to eat one? I bought peaches, very sweet..."
Frederick rubbed her head dotingly and shook his head. "No, thanks. I'm afraid that my hair will grow and make you angry again!"
"Hehe..."
Giggling, Alicia waved him away. Her eyes followed him all the way to the bathroom before she picked up another soup dumpling. As she took a bite, a faint feeling surged in her stomach.
Putting down the dumplings, she took a deep breath. She picked up the glass drank two more sips, trying to suppress her discomfort. Suddenly, a bitter taste emerged in her mouth.
"Em?"
Frowning, she took a small sip again. "Hmm... Strange, why is it so bitter? Is there something wrong with my taste buds again?"
Getting up, she poured the rest of the water into a tiny flower pot. As she was about to grab another glass of water, her stomach suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable. She took a step toward the bathroom when she heard the sound of running water. Switching directions immediately, she went to the guest bathroom and vomited all the food that she had consumed just a moment ago.
After Alicia rinsed her mouth, she finally felt at ease.
Facing the mirror and tidying up her appearance, she grinned and patted her mouth, "You ate too much again, right? Who asked you to be so gluttonous?! You know that you shouldn't eat so much, yet you still couldn't control yourself!"
"No, it's all his fault! Who asked him to tempt me in the middle of the night, and even poured me a glass of bitter water?"
She stretched her arms, and a beautiful smile appeared at the corner of her red lips, "It feels better with an empty stomach! Sigh..."
Looking at her plump cheeks in the mirror, she unconsciously laid her soft hands on her stomach and thought, "Why can't you be less disappointing? I have already sacrificed my appearance and indulged my appetite to raise you well! You should pay me back a little, right?"
"Work hard! Good luck! You're the best!"
She straightened her back, raised her head, and puffed out her chest, shaking her head to cheer herself up. As she walked out, she said to herself, "Maybe I have not met my destiny yet! The doctor has

suggested that I should be in a good mood! No hurries, I'm still young and healthy, I will definitely succeed!"
When she went back to her room, she sat back, contemplating before she began to crave again. In just less than five minutes, she had a tiny dumpling in her hand again.
At the same time, when Frederick

came out, all ke saw was the empty glass and Alicia eating happily. He didn't suspect at all that Alicia had vomited and poured away the so-called antidote that he had given to her. Of course, he would never have thought that the illness he was so anxious about was nothing an illusion. Just because of one small misunderstanding, they went off on different paths again.
The next morning, Frederick brought her to the hospital by using himself as an excuse. While there, he coaxed her to do a blood test. Later, after sending her back to her studio, he went back to the hospital, taking the long route.
At this time, in the office, Carson's report had also come out.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"What is the result?"
Carson stared at in, puzzled. He even used his magnifying glass to get a better look.
"It's almost the same as last time. There is no obvious abnormality. What's strange is it seemed like the location of the shadow in her brain had changed!"
Overlapping the two enlarged X-rays report in his hands, Carson exclaimed in shock, "Look! How is this possible?"
Even if the drug worked, the healing process would logically be seen in the gradual shrinking of the shadow. However, not only did it disappear, another similar shrunken shadow was found to appear on the other side of her brain.
This was too unbelievable!
After working as a doctor for decades, this was the first for him!
