"Are you better than her?

", Initially, the two companies were close to each other and had a good relationship. However, since Yuki's arrival, several male colleagues seemed to have gotten on Alicia's bad side, picking on her and talking bad about the company. After several incidents, it was an indisputable fact that these women did not get along. Miriam and Yuki also held grudges against each other. Therefore, she did not save Yuki's face when she made her comments., Yuki was furious because many people were around. She didn't say anything because she was concerned about her image. At that moment, Frederick, who couldn't wait any longer, put down his phone and walked over., At a glance, he noticed Miriam with a JT Translation Service tag on her uniform and walked straight to her side. Just then, as the crowd looked at him getting closer, they all held their breath.

"Excuse me, is Alicia Blanchard off work yet?

" When Frederick spoke, the crowd was in an uproar. Miriam and Daisy were dumbfounded and stared at each other in disbelief., Suddenly, Yuki spoke,

"You didn't send her a bouquet of blue enchantresses every day, chasing after a little translator, are you?

", Having heard that, Miriam came to her senses.,

"What's wrong with that? What's wrong with being a little translator? Alicia is so beautiful and talented! There are so many people going after her! Doesn't she deserve to receive a bouquet of blue enchantresses every day?

", After she vented out her dissatisfaction, she turned to Frederick and changed her tone,

"Alicia left earlier for a business trip! Mr. Clements, are you here to see Alicia?

",

"Yes!

", With a pang of emptiness in his heart, he gave a brief response. Just as he turned to leave, he then remembered something and said,

"Thank you!

", At that very moment, the crowd was completely blown away.,

"No way! He really is Mr. Clements! Is he the one who has been sending the blue enchantresses every day and going after Alicia like crazy?

",

"Didn't they say that she had a Bentley-driving old man as her sugar daddy? Is this true or, not?

",

"Can pigs fly now? Who is exactly her sugar daddy? Who is going after her? Who gave her the flowers? Why is she still coming to work?

"

"Is she the prettiest woman in our company? I heard that she is very arrogant!

",

"Yes! Didn't they say she threw the flowers away? She's not even interested in Mr. Clements! Is she asking fortrouble?

",

"It's really a world of good looks!

",

"It's better to look good than to work well!

", Hearing the mutterings and gossips behind him, Frederick frowned. Has someone been going after Alicia like crazy? Blue enchantresses? How come he had never heard her mention that before?, The further Frederick walked, the more irritated he became. He wandered off before he reached the place where his car was., Once inside the car, he called Alicia., Soon after, the call was connected. A sweet voice could be heard,

"Hubby, I miss you so much! Are you done with work?

", Although she sounded cheerful and pleasant, Frederick's heart was in turmoil. If he actually believed that she was thinking about him, he would have to visit a doctor!

"Yes, where are you?

", With all that had happened to her at her office, she hadn't said a word to him. Was there a lock on her mouth?,

"I'm at the office!

", After Alici was done with shopping at the supermarket, she drove her car up at the hospital entrance. She looked at the time and made a casual remark.,

"Think before you speak!

" Frederick's tone sank while his face was sullen. Alicia couldn't be lying to him every time they spoke over the phone, could she?, After a pause, Alicia noticed the oddness in his tone. Usually, at this hour, she would be off work and was out of the office! He couldn't have been so divine as to know she wasn't at the office, could he? She didn't dare to lie, therefore she offered an explanation.,

"I was indeed at work! When I was off work, I went to the engineer's office to learn how to use the machine as I need to translate the manual. There are a lot of technical terms, I was afraid of making many mistakes!

", Hearing that, Frederick's expression eased up a bit.

"What time will you get off work? I'll meet you there! We'll go out for dinner tonight!

", Crap! He was really back! Alicia thought., She squealed in her heart and unconsciously patted her chest. Luckily, she didn't lie! Otherwise, she would be doomed! If Alicia were to tell him she was outside, she would have had to spend more time explaining!, One definitely shouldn't do bad things!,

"It'll be over soon. Hubby, find a place and I'll meet you there!

", After stating a location and estimating the time, Alicia said,

"Not too early. Is 7:30 pm okay?

", After hanging up, Alicia sent all the daily supplies to the hospital room. At that moment, Martin had been transferred to the general ward while Flora was cutting an apple. The two of them were chatting, and the atmosphere was cordial.,

"Are you tired? Do you need me to help to turn your body over? The doctor said that your nerves are recovering slowly, and the operation was successful. After a while, you will slowly regain all your sensations You'll walk again probably in 6 months at least. Don't rush it, take it slowly!

",

"Do you feel any discomfort? Can you feel, your legs?

",

"I know! It has been hard for both of you! When the doctor came to examine me today, I could feel tingling in my legs, but I can't control my legs yet. They don't seem to obey!

"

"Take it easy! It's a good sign to feel something! The doctor said you'd get better faster after three more days!

", Outside the ward, Alicia couldn't help but tear up as she listened to her parents' conversation. It was worth the effort!,

"Dad, Mom!

", After talking with her parents, she inquired more about Martin's condition and medical expenses. After she had her mind made up, she went back to the ward. When she was outside the ward, she could hear Martin's voice.,

"Let's get discharged earlier! All I need is rest anyway. I'll put up with the pain for a bit and it'll pass. It's expensive to stay here day after day! Let's try to save as much as we can. It's been so hard for Ally these past two years!

",

"Yes! We've raised a good daughter. I didn't expect her to shoulder all these responsibilities during these critical moments! Two years ago, she had to sneak out to a nightclub to dance. When I found out, I almost beat her to her knees! In fact, I knew that she only wanted to earn more money to improve our family's life, but it hurt my heart to see her doing that! She's a girl, and I was afraid something would happen to her. After all, Ally is not ugly! It's a good thing we finally made it through. She will be so relieved to see you get better! You should stay a little longer. If it doesn't work, we'll get discharged and figure out what to do.

",

"Let's not spend anymore. Didn't the doctor say I will recover mostly on my own?

", There was a moment of silence before Alicia took the bill in her hand and went in. Although there were tears at the bottom of her eyes, she still forced a smile.,

"Dad, Mom, don't you worry! It's better to let Dad rest here for a while longer! I am educated and my salary is not low. We even have good people donating money to us! Look, it's 100,000 dollars! This money was donated to us anonymously. There is medication and physiotherapy provided in the hospital. All these things will help you recover! Dad, you need to get better soon so that we can have a way out!

"

"Really? I can't believe this money was specifically for us! We don't have many friends in Casterwich City. Who would be so generous?

", Flora was stunned as well as she looked at the donation confirmation slip in her hand., In fact, Alicia didn't understand either. She thought that since the donation was anonymous, the donator's identity would remain concealed. Since someone wanted to do a good deed, the Blanchards would accept it.,

"Mom, no matter who donated it, there's no need for us to reject it! After all, we didn't steal it and we need it now. Once we have the ability, we could give back to the community more!

", After reassuring her parents and buying them dinner, Alicia left for her appointment., Search the website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
