Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

"Make it real! I want her to be a true cripple!" she said.

As Selena spoke, she took out a small bottle from somewhere.

She explained, "All you'll have to do is to inject this medicine on the artery of her thigh. It will hinder the blood flow, and slowly, her wound will fester due to the lack of blood flow and nutrients. By the time she finds out, the medicine would've been fully absorbed without anyone knowing! You're the only one who can get close to her now..."

He had to complete the task!

Holger subconsciously squinted his eyes as he looked at the bottle that looked creepy as it shone under the light on the table.

"What's wrong? Are you not willing to do it?" she asked.

Seeing that he wasn't moving, Selena was displeased. "Don't forget that we're on the same boat now. You'll only be able to have a good life if I have a good life."

"Did you not watch the news? I'd advise you to give up on this idea!" Holger said.

Hearing his words, Selena asked with frustration, "What do you mean?"

Holger explained, "Master Frederick had just been framed, and he is in jail now. His hair turned grey overnight. Before this, there's also another matter that only insiders knew. Miss Alicia had passed away in the plane crash as well! Master Trevor is also very anxious now, and he's in a terrible mood. You should know about his temper. If any one gets on his nerves now, they'd suffer the consequences! If I were you, I'd rather wait for some time instead of provoking him during this period! Besides..."

Holger glanced at the table before continuing.

"Your thoughts are too naive! Even if I were able to inject the medicine into her body secretly, you wouldn't get your desired outcome still. That's because the hospital does a small body check-up almost everyday for her, and they do a full body examination for her every three days. Master Trevor isn't the only one concerned about her health. She is very concerned about it too, and she'll definitely find out if something goes wrong! By then, you might not get the results you want, and you might even attract their suspicions instead," he said. "You're lying to me, aren't you? Why do I feel that you're constantly trying to protect her?" Selena was sure that he didn't want to do it, but she couldn't tell if what he was saying was true.

"Whether to believe it or not, it's your choice. Regardless, I won't do it, but I won't stop you from doing it either!" Holger said.

After that, he turned around and peered at her with a cold gaze.

He warned, "If you don't have anything else to say to me, I'll be leaving now. By the way, I'll be with Master Trevor most of the time these days, so you should refrain from contacting me unless the matters are urgent! You've said that we're on the same boat, but I'm not interested in getting caught with you!"

Selena's suspicions started to subside. She stood up and said, "Holger..."

She coughed profusely.

Then, she took a breath and slowly continued, "What do you think I should do?"

What could she do to improve her bad situation then? She had endured it for too long, and she was sick of spending her days in the dark!

Holger gave it a thought.

He said, "No man likes a troublesome woman who enjoys stirring up drama. Men like kind, understanding, gentle, and considerate women! You should definitely carry on with pretending to be kind and gentle! This time, I believe that you should learn from Madam Victoria!" Although Holger hated her, his words at that moment were true. If she could be a little more sincere and kind, his life would be much easier, let alone the lives of the others.

As soon as Holger was done speaking, he left the room.

Selena sat back down, and stared at the door as she thought to herself. Which part of his words were true? Had she gotten the man or not?

With a hint of anxiousness in her heart, Selena couldn't help but to smile. No matter what, it's a good idea to do so... If Victoria could pretend to be involved in an accident to gain his pity, so why couldn't she do the same? She thought.

Wasn't that what she was best at?

Nevertheless, Holger's words did make sense. It probably wasn't the right time for that then! Even if he were concerned about her, he wouldn't have the time or energy to care about her then.

After thinking about it, Selena thought of something, and decided to give Trevor a call. She pretended to be nice and asked about his current situation in concern. That was the first time she called him without hogging his time, and she hung up on her own after simply expressing her

concern.

On the other side of the phone, Trevor was astonished as he hung up the phone. Since when did she become so sensible?

Victoria, who had just came out of the bathroom, saw him staring at the phone and asked, "Who was that call from? Your reaction seems strange. Are you going to be busy tonight?

Trevor put his cell phone away and carried her to the bed carefully as he explained, "No! It was a call from Selena, she just asked me about my situation."

At that instant, Victoria's expression made a slight change. "Oh..."

She knew that she could trust him, but she still felt a little uneasy.

"Are you unhappy? I shouldn't have told you about it, now you're jealous!" He pinched her nose, and hugged her tightly from the back.

Trevor said, "In the past, I wasn't

able to let it go for some reason, but now that I think about it, it wasn't actually that hard! Our relationship was wrong, and there were too many limits and obstacles in our relationship. It was meant to be difficult! Vicky, it was even more exhausting than me taking care of you day and night. Do you

understand that feeling?"

In the past, he was forced to obey his mother's instructions, and he could only violate her instructions secretly. However, then, he finally understood the feeling of true happiness when being in love, and it was far different from what he felt before! Victoria smiled as she leaned on him, and said, "Yes, I do. It's the feeling of mental exhaustion, which is even more tormenting than physical exhaustion!"

She turned around, and the two of them couldn't help but to kiss each other on the lips.

He said, "Therefore, I believe that we need to correct our wrong feelings in the past, so that well both be able to have an easier life! Give her some time, and she'll understand when she meets a man who loves her like how I love you... Lately, I've sent Holger to look after her, and to provided her with anything she needs!"

"Are you the one who sent Holger to look after her?" Victoria exclaimed.

She turned back all of her sudden, and her high pitch startled Trevor. He asked, "What's the matter?"

"No, it's just that I've misunderstood Holger! I saw him talking on his phone today, and he seemed frustrated, as it he was with Selena... I thought that he was doing it behind your back..." she said.

Then why did he delete the call history secretly? She was sure of it, as she saw him doing it. When they returned to the ward, she clearly saw that he declined the incoming call and even deleted the record. Could it be that he didn't want her to find out? Was he actually avoiding her?

Fortunately, she didn't tattle on him, or it would've seemed as if she was trying to instigate something between them! It would've been a terrible sin!

"Is that so?" Trevor murmured.

He mumbled, but didn't say anything. However, doubts flashed through his mind. Did he put Holger in a difficult situation? Was Selena causing problems for him too? Why didn't he complain to him about it? "I must've been overthinking!" Victoria said.

After that, they stopped talking about that topic, and enjoyed each other's warmth and the quiet night that only belonged to them...

Meanwhile, under the dim light,

Frederick leaned against the bedside

in the detention room, as he

caressed the puppy that lay quietly on his lap. There was a book in his arms, and there was a picture of a woman on one of the pages. She stood in a dreamy white dress, under the bright sun and among the flowers. She was like an angel, and her warm smile could heal the hearts of man. The man spent the night peacefully, with his dog, his book, and a picture.
