Chapter 636
Thinking of something, Trevor asked, "Isabella Grint?"
She didn't expect him to start a conversation, so the attendant was obviously excited. She nodded her head and said.
"That's right! Miss Grint is a frequent visitor of ours. She especially likes the mille crepe cakes here! The two of them are often here recently, and Mr. Clements even came alone to buy the cakes several times. He's both gentle and considerate. He's patient and good-looking too. Miss Grint is such a lucky person. I'm envious of her..."
Hearing the attendant's words, Trevor pursed his lips. It was obvious that he didn't agree with her.
Soon, he arrived at the door, and the attendant opened the door for him, "Master Trevor, please come in. Mr. Clements is waiting for you!"
Then, the attendant took her leave. The staff member inside took their orders.
Because they needed to drive, they only ordered a pot of tea.
After the dishes were served, Frederick asked, "What do you want me to do here?"
What was the matter that couldn't be talked on the phone and required a private room?"
"Can't I call you out for dinner? The stew here is their most recommended dish. Try it!" As he said that, Trevor pointed to the newly served dishes on the table as he didn't know where to start.
The thing was, he hadn't thought about it yet. On one hand, he didn't know whether he knew about what had happened between the two women. On the other, he didn't know how to explain it. If he asked Alicia to help him to call Victoria back, what excuse should he use? Or maybe, he could ask to borrow her mobile phone for a few days?
In short, Trevor hadn't made up his mind at that moment. If he needed to get Alicia's cooperation, Frederick would definitely know what was going on. If he let the both of them know what was happening, they would skin him alive in the future if he did anything to Victoria!
However, when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he became depressed.
Glancing at him, Frederick felt that something was wrong, but he said nothing and started to eat first.
The two of them didn't care too much as they ate. They were purely there to have a good meal!
On the dining table, the two of them casually exchanged opinions on business development. At the end of the conversation, Trevor put down his cutlery and changed the topic.
"Frederick, could you do me a favour?"
Trevor lifted his gaze up and looked straight into his eyes for two seconds. Frederick couldn't help but smile as he said, "What makes it so difficult for you to speak?"
He spoke so haltingly that it didn't seem like his style at all!
However, Frederick had vaguely guessed that it placed him in a difficult position. Otherwise, why would he be in such a manner?
After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't think of anything that could make him react like that, "Private matters?"
If it was any business issue, it would probably be solved over a phone call! He guessed that this private matter should not be for him to deal with Aunt Amanda or Caroline.
"That..."
As soon as Trevor spoke, Frederick's mobile phone on the table suddenly rang.
"What? I'll be right there!"
Seeing Frederick's face change before he ended the call, he had already stood up. Trevor also got up, helped him take his coat, turned around, and picked up the car keys.
"What's the matter?"
"Alicia had a car accident! I'm going to the hospital! Let's talk about it later!"
While they were talking, Frederick had already reached the door. Trevor was surprised, and he said, "I'll go with you!"
At that time, the red light in front of
the operating room was on. The
patient's family members were crying miserably like mad, and they screamed amid the chaos, "You killed my husband. Return my husband! How did you drive? What
should we do?"
"I don't care! I don't care! We are a widow and an orphan now! The medical expenses are not included. We want three million dollars for compensation, and it's unnegotiable!"
"If anything happens to my husband, we'll make you pay with your life! You're a street killer!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I... It wasn't me..."
Alicia's mind was in a mess. She was shoved back and forth to the point that her mind was in a boggled state. Her drifting eyes kept falling onto the surgical lamp on one side, and her whole world seemed to have collapsed.
"Don't be like this! Don't be like this... Calm down first. He's still undergoing the surgery!"
"This is a hospital. Please don't make a fuss here, alright?"
On one hand, the patient's family continued weeping, while on the other, the medical guards arranged by Carson tried to calm everyone down. The hall was in a mess.
It was not easy for him to squeeze through the crowd. Carson pulled Alicia aside and said.
"Alicia, don't worry. It's gonna be alright! I've already asked Chet to inform Frederick. The family members are in a momentary rage. Don't rush to explain and don't go over..."
She was obviously scared out of her wits. She could only nod her head as his words went over her head. Meanwhile, the family members were clearly in a broken- down state of mind. Exclamations and yells could not be suppressed at all.
Curled up, Alicia felt helpless and
afraid for the first time. She unconsciously rubbed her hands and paced around back and forth. At that time, the elevator door suddenly opened, and Jeremy lifted hisContent provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
gaze
to meet an enchanting face. At the lást moment, before the elevator closed, he rushed out.
"Alicia?"
In a trance, as if she heard her own name, she subconsciously turned around and got a response. In the next second, Jeremy rushed forward and held her in his arms. Tears streamed down his cheeks almost immediately.
"It's really you? Are you still alive? Alicia, is that you? Are you really alive?"
He was so excited that his big palm kept stroking her face. He tried to feel her breath while her mind was still wandering. She stood there for a long time and didn't move.
It was hard to control his emotions for a long time. After a long time, Jeremy slowly pushed her away and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Why are you here? Haven't you... No, where have you been during this period of time?"
His heart was in turmoil, and
countless doubts flashed through his mind. His eyebrows and beard were grasped. He suddenly became speechless. He moved, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the convenient bag hanging in his hand. There were two boxes of medicine in it!
In an instant, it was like a bolt of lightning striking down. His face was pale, and his whole body seemed to have been ripped apart. He slowly withdrew his hand.
At that point, she also came to her senses and asked, "Jeremy?"
Glancing at the transparent plastic bag in his hand, she subconsciously focused her attention on it, "Folate?"
As their eyes met, they suddenly realized something and closed their eyes. With a familiar cry, he burst into tears that the veins on his hands that were holding the plastic bag were bulging.
His lips moved several times, but he couldn't say a word. He could only smile bitterly.
At that moment, the door of the elevator opened again. Frederick walked out and saw such a scene. He stopped abruptly before walking quickly towards Alicia.
"Did you get hurt anywhere? Is it serious? What's going on?"
He took Alicia's hand, checking her up and down. His gaze fell on her hand, which was wrapped in gauze.
