Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

"The patient has acute appendicitis and needs to be operated on right away! Is her family around? We need consent immediately!"

Frederick snapped out of his thoughts and strode towards the doctor as he shouted, "Me!"

He grabbed the pen and signed immediately. "Doctor, how is she? Is she doing alright?"

Flustered from the situation at hand, he gripped the doctor's arm. Carson hauled him away quickly, freeing the doctor to let him be on his way.

"It's just a minor operation, nothing too risky. The procedure won't take long, it'd be done in less than forty minutes. Don't be worried as the hospital now does minimally invasive operations and Doctor Walker is an expert on that. Calm down and wait patiently!"

Only when Frederick heard Carson's explanation was he able to regain his composure.

As anticipated, the operating room light went off promptly, signaling the end of the operation.

Frederick got up and rushed over to Doctor Walker who had taken his mask off.

Doctor Walker stated, "The operation was very successful. Luckily, the patient was sent here in time! She suffered from acute suppurative appendicitis that was complicated with septic shock. This situation is quite common among children and the elderly. However, it is rare in adults! Perhaps she has been under tremendous stress, overworked, and not eating well. All those adding with the sudden emotional outburst ultimately caused her to fall sick. But it was lucky that she was brought to the hospital in time!"

He continued adding, "Her condition is stable at the moment, but she'll have to be monitored for a week. She'll be allowed to eat after she passes gas and her meals need to be light, mainly consisting of liquids and soft foods. Also, she mustn't take part in any strenuous activities."

He left when he was done giving instructions and offering advice.

Hearing the good news, a great surge of emotion swept through Frederick. He felt that he was alive again.

Alicia didn't know how long she was out. Opening her eyes, she made out an unfamiliar luxurious-looking environment with a drip stand on her side. Then, she gave out some gas.

She turned her head around only to realize Frederick leaving the couch. Embarrassed, she held the blanket over her face. "Oh my goodness, did I just fart in front of him..."

She budged and felt throbbing pain pulsing through her body. She couldn't help but let out a cry. Frederick had gotten to her side by then.
