Chapter 881
Instinctively, Frederick looked back to check on the surroundings, then he walked past the room to the corridor in front of him. Naturally, before he turned around, he once again checked if the coast was clear.
Inadvertently, Danica noticed this small movement, and it seemed to rub salt into her already open wound.
As soon as Frederick stopped, she shouted angrily, 'Are you that afraid that she will see us?"
Even the position he had chosen was the best edge of the corridor. According to her estimation, all the movements of the corridors and even the stairs were within the range of his peripheral vision.
He was incredibly careful!
Without denying it, Frederick asked in an indifferent voice, "What's the matter?"
"Get her out of here!"
Upon hearing the order, Frederick glanced at her and sneered.
Was she commanding him?
"Frederick, don't forget about our agreement! This is Buranda, not Casterwich City!" He had promised that she could dominate him outside Casterwich City. However, when Alicia suddenly showed up, why did he make her hide? It was obvious that he hadn't handled it well. Why did he want her to hold back?
Danica was enraged! This was unfair!
The sense of injustice at the bottom of her heart was like the spark of fire that had been ignited, vaguely squirming on the edge of exploding. Frederick raised his eyebrows and replied in a cold voice.
"I should be reminding you of this. Danica, since you want to have a play', you should play your part. Don't go too far! Do you want to make it real? Know your place. We're only doing this for our own benefits."
Danica's face instantly turned as red as a tomato. She was so angry that she was shaking.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
"Do you have to destroy my dream so cruelly? Frederick, I have tolerated you enough! I have also agreed to your conditions. Why can't you drive her away? It's clear that you couldn't keep your promise! This is not Casterwich City, so why do you want me to suffer?"
What was the use of her having to sneak around? This was horrible!
Smoke was coming out of her ears. Danica's internal organs seemed to be torn apart all of a sudden. She gasped for air and her voice became a little higher.
"Don't forget that her life is in my hands!"
Frederick's face darkened. "Are you threatening me?"
His low voice was full of displeasure. He then gritted his teeth and said,
"I agreed only because you begged me! Danica, I love Alicia. This will never change! Don't think that I'm at a disadvantage. If you want me to hurt her, I would rather die with her! I have said that I won't accept threats. Don't forget, the prerequisite for my promise is that she remains in the dark."
After pausing for a while, Frederick calmed down and clenched his fist in his pocket.
He added in a calm tone, "If I hurt
her and lose her, what's the point of
getting your antidote? You'd better
Yel
not forget this precondition. Otherwise, I won't stand here and waste my breath on you. Of course, you can also choose to go back on your words now. In fact, you just want to achieve your impossible dream, so what does the person matter? You can simply find a more professional and more handsome man to accompany you to finish this trip. I don't care!"
As he finished speaking, Frederick turned and walked away. For a moment, his heart was about to jump out of his throat. God knew how empty and feeble his words were! Nothing was more important than Alicia's life!
Frederick's footsteps were unprecedentedly heavy. Every step he took seemed to have exhausted all the strength in his body.
Finally, when fear almost enveloped him, he heard the voice he wanted to hear from behind, "Wait!"
That word sounded like music to his ears.
He breathed a sigh of relief and adjusted his expression before he slowly turned around. Behind him, a ghost-like voice, accompanied by the sound of high-heeled shoes tapping on the ground could be heard.
"How can those people be compared with you?"
Danica muttered unconsciously and stopped. She looked at him obsessively and said, "Send her back and plan a wedding with me. Just one week. I will give you the antidote and will not pester you any longer after that!"
While speaking, Danica took out a white sealed bag from her pocket, which contained half a green pill.
"This is the real antidote. This is the only one in the world, two halves, one red and one green. It is complete when put together. As long as she takes these two antidotes in a month's time, the poison in her body will be removed!"
Reaching out, Danica handed it over and continued.
"Half a pill can eliminate half of her
pain. I don't want you to be a fake for half a year I want things to be real for a week so that both of us won't be in so much pain. I don't know if this request is to make things difficult for you or to torture t disturb
myself! If you agree, I won't
your life again after this. Whether it is to cure me or to find a place to spend the rest of my life, I think there should be no regrets! If you don't agree, it doesn't matter. However, this pill will only be effective within a month,
otherwise..."
She spoke sincerely and clearly. Looking at the small bag in her hand, Frederick was both excited but confused. Therefore, he did not move for a long time and did not dare to rashly reach out to pick it up.
"I know that you will ask someone to research the pill. I won't be so stupid as to lie to you. Even if you can really make one yourself, you will have to spend some time. Without the antidote, she won't have the time. I know that what I'm doing is very despicable, but I have no choice! Ethics aren't important to me when I am at the end of my life. I don't mind
if you hate me or not, I have already lost you!
After a pause, Danica changed the style of the conversation.
"I don't have much time left! Since you care so much about her, why don't you choose to trust me?"
When their eyes met, Danica felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. She had never thought that she needed to speak to the person that was closest to her once in such a posturing manner.
How pathetic!
Without much time to think, Frederick raised his hand and took the small bag from her. "Wait for my message."
Frederick turned around and strode away without a moment's hesitation.
Behind him, looking at her empty hand, Danica's eyes were dull and her face was frozen with surprise. The corner of her mouth twitched several times, but she could not tell whether she was laughing or crying.
The moment the door was shut, Frederick leaned against it and took a deep breath. His body was limp, and he closed his eyes. After a while, he walked to the bed, sat down, and looked at his open palm.
Then, he canceled all the itineraries and refused all business calls. He didn't know how long he had been sitting there. When he got up, he clenched the sealed bag in his hand and dialed a number.
