Chapter 876
If he failed in the end and gambled away their last chance, he would regret it for the rest of his life and not die in peace.
Chet remained silent for a moment.
"I can only say that, if I were you, I would probably do the same. Time means hope! Frederick, you have consulted more than one expert. The doctors said that an optimistic mentality is sometimes even better than any treatment or drug. Isn't this one of the reasons why you are hiding it from Alicia? The fact that we are concealing it from her isn't necessarily a bad thing!"
It was enough as long as they tried their best. Even if he couldn't turn back the tide, at least she wouldn't be suffering when she leaves, right? Moreover, Chet believed that hard work would always pay off. They had invested so much time and resources, it was inconceivable to return empty- handed.
Understanding what he meant, Frederick nodded.
"Well, I'm going to arrange a short trip to appease Danica. When I return, I'll contact Bayton City to arrange Alicia's accommodation there during this period." He hoped he could buy more time by separating themselves for a while!
"By the way, have you found the hypnotist that I have asked for?"
Chet nodded at first but then shook his head.
"Yes, I found him, but he wasn't much help. It's impossible to make her confess about the antidote through hypnosis. Hypnosis is just a kind of mental adjustment. How do I put it? It can be explained as a kind of relaxation, hinting at purposeful guidance under certain circumstances. This method utilizes the instinctive response of an individual to be induced and to achieve the purpose of physical and mental adjustments. I have consulted many hypnosis masters, and there's only a less than twenty percent chance of success!"
"In other words, it's useless?" Frederick felt disappointed. "What in the world were those medical principles? What should work never worked, and what shouldn't work turned out excellent?"
"I guess it's not even as effective as two bottles of wine! I checked several times. The effect of proactive hypnosis is much better than dazed hypnosis! As the chances for forgetting everything after the process, it has never succeeded!"
"Then let's prepare for the worst!"
While they were still discussing, Frederick's cell phone rang. Looking at it, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Here it comes again, she's sick! Speak of the devil, I can't believe it's true!"
"Go on and pretend to be the lovely and caring boyfriend!"
Getting up to leave, Chet felt a sense of sympathy for him. It was said that men had a one-track mind while women considered things from multiple angles. It could often mean that men are not as malicious as women. As the saying goes, there's nothing more vicious than a woman!"
Frederick ordered a tiny pot of beautiful jasmine flowers and brought it to the hospital.
When he reached the door to the ward, Danica's petty and pleading voice sounded from within. "Doctor, how long do I have left to live? Can I still have a child? I want to undergo in vitro surrogacy!" Dumbstruck, Frederick took an instinctive step back.
"Miss Randolph, your current health is not suitable for pregnancy! As long as you can take it easy and cooperate with your treatment, with the development and advancement of medical science, you may have a chance in the future. For now, just think about your own health. Especially since your cancer cells are not spreading."
"Doctor, please help me, I want a child..."
As he listened to the agitated voice that came from inside, Frederick stared sightlessly at the crowds that walked past. His heart pounded heavily, his frown deep.
Would she rather die than give him peace? Was she even trying to take advantage of a child?
Although he was certain that he would never touch her and would never do anything to her, Frederick suddenly became alert when he heard these words. He took out his cell phone, and just as he was about to place a call, a familiar and sharp feminine voice sounded. He quickly hung up, set his phone on silent, and quickly changed it to a text message.
The feminine cry sounded again.
"Do you still remember what you promised when we were dating and when you proposed to me? Why are you forcing me to divorce you? For you, I suffered multiple injections. Now, you find me old and even
blame me for not being able to
give
birth to a child? I have already told you that I've never gone for plastic surgery, nor done any beauty injections. It is God's will that I
haven't given birth. Why can't you just believe the doctor's diagnosis?" "Gentry, can we not divorce? I don't care if you have other women. We can even raise the children together!"
"Please! How could you do this to me?"
"Is a child that important?"
"I will never agree to divorce! I won't let you and that little b*tch be together forever! Gentry, have you ever thought that she loves you for your money? If what you wanted is a child can find someone to give birth for me!"
"You don't love her! You don't, not at all! I know your heart still belongs to me, you love me, you only love me..."
"I won't divorce!"
Her bitter cries filled the corridor.
Her cries got louder and Frederick angled his head to find that it was Qiana. Was she there to visit Danica as well?
No wonder she had such a big
reaction at the gathering. It turned out her marriage with Zaydon was facing challenges! They were such a dazzling couple before. How long had it been? This woman had been tortured and withered away by a bitter marriage in such a short time.
A woman's face showed true emotions. Whether it was fortune or misfortune, it is hard to fake.
As he watched Qiana leave, Alicia came back to Frederick's mind. A hardworking girl who had always wanted a baby. Did she feel the same way? Would she also be insecure if she did not give birth to a child?
Although he also liked children, if he had to choose between mother and baby, he would always choose her without hesitation!
As his heart was throbbed with pain, Frederick picked up his phone again.
In the mall, Alicia picked different styles of clothing and even chose two sets of sexy lingeries. While it was being packed up at the counter, she couldn't help but blush in shyness.
Since she wanted to create some excitement, some changes were needed.
With a plan in mind, Alicia also purchased a few types of sexy lingerie cosplay such as maid costumes, nurse uniforms, and more from an online store. She was too embarrassed to buy it in the store.
Before she got home, she went to the supermarket to pick up some ingredients.
Alicia stood in the kitchen and rolled up her sleeves. She suddenly realized that she hadn't been in the kitchen for a long time. For a moment, she couldn't even remember where the salt was.
"As expected, I would slack off if my life is too comfortable."
No wonder she felt that he was not as passionate as before. Was it because that she had changed too much? A man's stomach was indeed
important!
She took a deep breath and in no time got used to the environment again. After that, she prepared dumplings! She had always felt that dumplings represented a prosperous, and ceremonious reunion.
After preparing everything, Alicia went back to her room and washed up. She put on some makeup, and even put on a bright red lipstick before she
called Frederick.
