Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Chapter 192

When he picked up the papers, Alicia's neat handwriting came into view. The veins on his hand protruded from rage.

This d*mned woman! Has she actually signed it? He took less than three minutes to head upstairs to print a copy and she had already signed the papers?

What the h*ll?

Wasn't she in the least reluctant? Was she so desperate to leave him? He was even thinking of continuing her allowance so that she could happily enjoy the extra income each month!

D*mn it! He must have been sick in the head!

Why was she in such a rush? Was she going to work or to her ex?

This was supposed to be the ending he wanted, the ending he eagerly wished for. There was no mess of clinging and crying. Despite that, he was so mad that he was going to be on the brink of losing his temper!

Did she want a divorce with him? Want to leave him? Is that so?

Not a chance!

He ripped the divorce agreement into pieces, fuming as if he could murder someone that instant.

Alicia kept her foot on the gas pedal and even called her director on the way to take a leave, explaining the situation. She did not even have time to catch a single breath as she arrived at Clearview Hospital.

"Doctor, doctor-"

Before she reached the ward, she passed Marshall on the way. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

He grabbed her arm. "You're here at last! Mr. Rice Bug has been waiting for some time! Oh, your warehouse is almost empty, let's go make the payment, shall we? You're free now, right?"

She was dumbstruck at his joking voice. "Was it you who asked someone to call me?"

He did not deny and nodded. "If I didn't make it vague, would you have gotten here so fast? You pranked me once; this is payback. We're even now, right?"

He did everything on a whim. As it was a weekend, he was afraid that she would shirk away, thus he asked the nurse to make the prank call. He just wanted to see her. Just doing anything together would be great!

Alicia felt about to burst from rage. The next instant, she raised her hand and slapped him.

"Is it fun to do this? Is this something to joke about? Don't you know it's about life and death? What type of sh*tty doctor are you? You're unethical, you've got no principles! Your heart is also rotten! You b*stard! You're not human! Playing pranks for nothing? Did you know that I was to work overtime today?"

Tears flowed down her cheeks. She squatted down and sobbed terribly.

All because of his call, she had to wave goodbye to one thousand dollars! Frederick was also divorcing her and she would not have the thirty- thousand-dollar allowance from now on. How would she get by the next month?

Anguished, she felt wronged. She fell apart as she wailed like a child in the hospital aisle, her arms wrapping around herself.

Feeling the burning sensation on his cheeks, Marshall was utterly shocked that he had forgotten how to react.

It was not until there were gossiping voices from passersby that he stopped the jokester act.

He bent down and helped her up, "I'm sorry, I—"

"Get lost!"

Swinging at him with her handbag, she pushed him away angrily before running into the elevator. At this moment, Doctor Lewis heard the commotion and walked right into the scene.

"Doctor Clark, you've gone too far this time!"

Marshall turned around and touched his stinging cheek. "I meant no harm, I just..."

She really hit him hard!

Hadn't she tricked him the last time he asked for her name? They would always joke around in their emails; he had thought that she would not mind!

"Doctor Clark, you're new and you probably don't understand the situation! It isn't easy for Miss Blanchard. A year ago, she wanted to transfer her father from Bayton City to Casterwich City to receive treatment. Because of her limited financial

conditions, she couldn't settle the medical fees in one payment and she was turned down by many hospitals. She begged our director for seven days before he took pity on her and allowed her to pay in installments! During that time, she and her mother didn't have a place to stay. It was the same with the hospital, she couldn't even afford a bed. The three of them would just sleep anywhere in the hospital aisle. If there were many people, they would have no bench to sleep on."

Recalling that memory, Doctor Lewis could not help but sigh solemnly.

"Miss Blanchard worked very hard every month to afford the medical fees. After that, the director saw how hard they were struggling. They are honest people too. He gave her mother a job as a cleaner at the hospital and let them have a room at the hostel. Both mother and daughter helped with odd jobs just to waive the fees for a bed. Those days continued for almost three months. Things only became better when Miss Blanchard got a job. She could afford to rent a house and pay for the bed, and her mother didn't have to work anymore! These years, Miss Blanchard had to work several jobs just to afford her father's expensive medical fees. She would come to visit her father after work; it was difficult for her! She's just a young girl! A few nurses took pity on her and would help take care of her father. They'd call her if something happened! She was also thankful. Although she couldn't afford expensive gifts, she would always bring some fruits for the nurses. Lydia and Nicole were the nurses in charge of Ward No. 3!"

Changing his tone, he continued to reprimand

Marshall.

"Don't play pranks like this on her ever again! It isn't easy for them! She's still hoping that her father will wake up! I heard that her father has been in a coma for three years. Think about it, what kind of life they were living these years? Although we're doctors, I have to say something. No matter how much she earns, she won't get to keep up with the increasing medical expenses! The treatment for her father has also increased recently and his condition is getting better, therefore I guess her financial burden will be getting heavier!"

Marshall was speechless.

He knew nothing about all of this! He had always thought that she was a rich, pampered lady! Her beauty and the air she carried were full of pride! Besides, her cosmetics did not look cheap and she drove a mi 11 ion-dollar Bentley!

Was she poor? He wondered in disbelief.

However, Doctor Lewis had been here for the longest. He definitely would not lie to him!

Marshall regretted his actions immediately. He even arranged for a few extra body check- ups for her father. In fact, it would have no effect on her father even if the check-ups were not frequent. At the very least, it would not matter if he had skipped one!

However, Marshall added them just to keep in touch with her!

No wonder she was so angry, crying like that!

Clenching his fists, Marshall walked toward her father's ward...

Back in the car, Alicia could not hold it in any longer. She cried so much that she was shaking. She did not know why she was crying but the tears would not stop. Her mind was blank and her heart felt empty.

After what seemed like forever, she choked and wiped her tears before starting the engine.
