Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

This wasn't within Chet's expectations of how things would turn out. The entire incident felt like a bad dream to him.

It was as if a whole century had gone by. Suddenly, a calm and cold voice emerged, "How many people were inside there?" "They're still cleaning up and picking up the bones inside. Judging from the number of skulls found... there were two."

Every word that came out of Chet's mouth weighed down at the bottom of his heart. He had arranged bodyguards to protect her; he even tasked others to look over her at the store... Yet, this incident had occurred at the worst possible time!

He closed his eyes and the atmosphere surrounding him was deathly still.

There weren't many vehicles on the street at the moment. The cold wind howled and it was as if Frederick's whole world had turned into the Sahara Desert. It was cold and dark; he was in despair and the darkness had engulfed him.

Then, he turned around and spoke.

"Gather all the surveillance from tonight, all the information, results from the lab and any clues related to this incident. Find out what happened and get to the bottom of this. I'll be waiting for you at Robson Garden! I want answers before dawn!"

Chet was shocked by his orders and his mouth was wide open for the rest of the day.

Wasn't Frederick sad nor driven crazy by the fact that Miss Blanchard was gone forever? Why did he seem so calm about it? Not a single tear was shed by him at all!

However, for various reasons, Chet felt an unprecedented fear and pressure from him. It was like the most terrifying silence before a storm...

At four o'clock in the morning, Chet was tired but he forced himself to go over to Robson Garden. When he entered the compound, he was escorted into the kitchen. Right then, he noticed that Frederick had sat on a stool that was on the ground. In front of him was a huge basin full of bowls and plates. His hands were soaked in them, and he kept scrubbing them continuously.

The bowls and plates were sparkling clean; even the water was as clear as the ocean. On the contrary, his hands were damp and his fingers were wrinkled. It was obvious that he had been washing the dishes for a very long time.

As soon as he saw this, his jaw dropped. "Frederick, are you alright?"
