She was obviously doubtful, but no matter how displeased she felt, she still cared for him a lot. Saving his life was the top priority right then. Therefore, Alicia said nothing., She followed them all the way to the hospital. As she stood in front of the door of the emergency room, she fixed her eyes on the red light of the emergency room anxiously., Soon, the doctor emerged from the emergency room. Chet spoke first,

"How is he, Doctor?

",

"Fortunately, the patient was sent here in time. He was already in the early stage of unconsciousness. Any later and there would have been organ failure and the risk of hypothermia. Right now, his heart rate and blood pressure are beginning to stabilize. There is no serious damage. The woman's vitals however are a little weaker. Her heart rate is still slightly lower and her blood pressure is not stable. However, she has shown signs of consciousness. Therefore, it is not life-threatening. Both should be fine in a few days. I have put them under sedation to rest and recover tonight. They should stay here for overnight observation. If nothing happens, they can be discharged tomorrow! In the future, do take care not to get locked up in a cold storage. This is dangerous.

",

"I see! Thank you, Doctor.

", After settling everything, Chet said,

"Alicia, why don't you stay back and take care of Frederick for now. There are some things that I have to deal with. I'll switch with you later!

",

"There's no need. I'll be fine here. You must be tired. There's nothing much to do here anyway. You're not indestructible. You should go back and rest. Just come back tomorrow.

" Chet glanced at the time. Since it was already one o' clock in the morning, he did not insist,

"Okay. Call me with Frederick's phone if you need anything. I'll get you a phone tomorrow.

" Chet left the hospital after arranging for security to be posted outside the ward., The ward suddenly quieted down. Alicia sat by the bed and watched the person on the bed. For the first time, her heart was empty and cold., She sat by the bed until the wee hours before she laid her head down to sleep for a while., At dawn, a nurse came in to take his vitals and gave Frederick another shot. Before the doctor left, Chet was already back at the hospital.,

"How is his condition, Doctor?

",

"Mr. Reynes, I can assure you that Mr. Clements is no longer in any danger. He may be over exhausted, and also his immune system has weakened. Plus, the medicine administered has a sedative effect, causing him to sleep deeper. The rest of his indicators are all normal. He will be fine when he wakes up.

",

"Thank you very much, Doctor!

", After sending the doctor off, Chet took a new mobile phone and handed it to Alicia.,

"I have already pre-installed the anti- tracking programs for you. You can use it after you get your sim card replaced. You look like you haven't rested at all. I was too eager to rush over here. I should have gotten you breakfast at least.

", Alicia stopped him as he turned to leave to get the breakfast.,

"Let me. I'll get myself something to eat and also stretch my legs. I think he'll wake up soon. It's more convenient for you to be here, anyway.

", Without waiting for Chet's reply, Alicia left the room with her phone and bag., She didn't have much appetite, so she went to the nearest food kiosk and packed two breakfast sets for Frederick and Chet respectively. She bought herself a pita pocket and gobbled it down in a few bites. She thought that she would leave without any worries as soon as Frederick woke up., With the breakfast in her hand, Alicia returned to the ward swiftly., Chet was relieved to know that, Frederick was going to be just fine. Then, his phone rang as he sat down. It was a call from the company's manager. He suddenly remembered that he had arranged for a meeting that day, and there was a contract that required follow- up. Therefore, he headed out to take the call. , In another ward, Danica woke up and immediately checked with the nurse on what happened the night before. After that, she rushed towards Frederick's ward while still in her hospital gown. Frederick struggled to open his eyes as soon as Danica sat next to him and took his hand. He felt exhausted, as if he had just ran for miles. He grunted with effort inadvertently.,

"Ugh...

",

"Frederick, are you awake? Are you okay? Do you feel unwell?

" Danica looked pale, but she stretched out her hand with concern to touch Frederick's forehead.

"No fever. Thank god!

", Frederick glanced around the ward as images of, Alicia flashed in his mind. However,, he didn't see her. Instead, he saw Danica sitting beside the bed, holding his hand. He remembered vaguely that he'd also held a woman's hand last night. A trace, of, disappointment swept through his heart. , Had he mistaken? Did he mistake Danica for Alicia?, Seeing that she was still by his side, Frederick was a little moved. He said,

"I'm fine. Were you with me last night? Why don't you go rest?

", Frederick sat up and looked at Danica. He felt responsible because he thought she had to go through the ordeal because of him. Seeing that she was concerned for him, he felt somewhat guilty.

"How are you?

" he asked., Danica intentionally acted obliviously. She did not bother to correct his assumption.,

"I'm relieved to see that you're awake. You don't know how much I was worried about you. If it weren't for you, I would have died. Was what you said last night true? If we survive the ordeal, will you give us another chance?

", Danica took his hand and held it to her cheek.,

"I know you still care about me. It's the same with me. The first thing I did when woke up was to find you and watch over you. How one reacts in a life and death situation directly reflects his true feelings. I know that you still care for me, and with sacrifice your life for me,

"Danica...

" he coughed. He had simply told her what she wanted to hear the night before so that she would hang on.,

"Don't say another word. I know and understand that you care for me enough to sacrifice your life for me. Frederick, I knew from the beginning that you will realize your feelings sooner or later,

" replied Danica.

"Danica, thank you for your love for me, but I...

" But he loved Alicia and it was impossible for them to get back together!, Before Frederick could finish his sentence, Danica suddenly blacked out. She staggered and her action interrupted his train of thought.,

"What's wrong? Are you okay? Sit down first!

", He helped her to sit down on the edge of the bed and gave her some water. He did not bother to continue their previous conversation., Alicia had arrived outside the ward with breakfast. She was just about to enter when she heard and saw the scene inside the ward. Instantly, she froze and felt her heart break into a million pieces., He had woken up already?, Her eyes hurt with unshed tears and her lips trembled. Then, she withdrew her hand that was reaching for the door, turned around and walked away..., Search the website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
