Chapter 32
Alicia craned her neck and saw that her mother was massaging her father's wrist while talking to him.
"Martin, you should get well as soon as possible! Our Ally—", Mrs. Blanchard said.
Alicia didn't want to disturb them. She was about to go on a stroll when she heard her name suddenly. She stopped and heard faint laughter coming from the ward.
Mrs. Blanchard said, "She's married! But, not to that heartless j*rk. I think that the man she married is not bad. However, he is also a remarkable man with an excellent background! I'm afraid that she will feel aggrieved! In the past two years, she had been too tired and had a hard time. I know that in her heart, she always felt guilty, blamed herself, and thought that it was because of her that our family changed from an easy and comfortable life into a poor one now! In fact, what does it have to do with her? Didn't we punish and scold her all because we love her? Who would dislike their own child? Martin, you should get well soon and help me to persuade her!"
"Alas, I didn't help her find a good partner and get married at the best time. I feel sorry for her!"
"That j*rk, he's back again! What a sh*t! Tell me, how could we meet him again when we've all moved to Casterwich City? What did we owe him? Why did he frame us like this?"
Her mother kept talking to her father. "Fortunately, Ally is still sensible! I'm finally at ease, now that she's married!"
"Martin, I'm really afraid that he will kill our daughter! Women in love are like fools. Ally didn't forget him in the past three years. You have no idea how sad and worried I was every day!"
"I would rather see her marry an ordinary man. Even if he is a little poor, I can't let this kind of beast harm her for the second time! Ally bared her soul to him, yet he ruined her whole life! What kind of
hatred was it that made him take revenge on an innocent person by scheming for a few years? If there's hatred, there's a cause! Even if it was our fault, it had nothing to do with Ally! We have never done anything wrong in our whole lives. I really don't understand! It was fine if he took revenge on us since we are already aged, but Ally was still young. Her career and reputation were all ruined by this j*rk! I'm so distressed! I would rather die than let Ally have anything to do with him... Martin, what do you say? Do you think I'm doing the right thing?"
"Alas. I hope Ally can be blessed! As long as Frederick can be kind to her and live a happy life together with her, that's more than enough! When you've recovered, well help each other and spend the rest of our lives together, okay?"
"Martin, our daughter belonged to someone else already. You are the only one I have left! Don't leave me behind!"
Listening from outside the door, Alicia's eyes got wet.
Biting her lip and stepping lightly like a cat, she retreated quietly.
After coining back from the hospital, making money became an urgent task. Alicia began to think about doing a part-time job again. The current salary and bonus were not enough to support the subsequent expenses. In an instant, she really felt that she had been brought back to three years ago. The difference was that this time, she did not feel that the sky was going to collapse. Instead, she was full of energy and was ready to meet the dawn.
She couldn't lose her job. Since she was going to make extra money, she had to find a flexible job. She prepared the accounts and made plans. Then, she began to make arrangements. She was busy every single day.
Alicia had promised Frederick that she would go to see his grandmother, hence she called Mrs. Clements after she was done with her work one day. Knowing that Mrs. Clements was free, Alicia
bought some fresh fruits and rushed over.
At this time, at the other end of the earth, Frederick put down his work and looked at his phone. He pulled a long face, thinking, "Why hasn't she called yet?"
Didn't she say that she missed him? It had been four days!
