Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Nicholas quickly grabbed a towel before he ran down and wrapped Alicia up in it. He continuously wiped her hair and face. Her body was freezing cold in his arms, so he swiftly wiped her down to prevent her from catching a cold.

"What happened to you? Didn't you..." Didn't she mention that she was going to find Frederick?

After he noticed her apathetic expression and the sorrow in her eyes, he immediately sealed his lips. He figured that something bad had happened so he quickly changed the topic.

"Hurry back to your room! You should take a shower and change your clothes. I don't want you to catch a cold!"

As he pushed her into the room, he then switched on the air conditioner, grabbed some clothes for her, and dragged her into the bathroom.

"Hurry up or else you'll get sick! I can't help you with this, but if there's anything else you want to talk about, well talk about it when you're done with this. Now, go!"

He only headed downstairs once he heard the sound of running water after she entered the bathroom.

After her shower, Alicia promptly changed her clothes and left the room. Nicholas happened to prepare her a cup of hot tea as he said, "Come on, have some tea. It'll help warm you up. I even added some brown sugar for you!"

As he passed the cup over to her, he turned around and headed to the bathroom and brought out a hairdryer. The moment he came out, he saw Alicia, who had held the cup of tea, while tears welled up in her eyes. Her tears rolled down her cheeks and dripped into the cup.

"Ally?"

"Sob... Nicholas..." As her red lips turned pale, she immediately burst into tears.

He reached out and took the cup of tea away from her. He hugged her and said, "It's okay, you're okay! I'm here, I'm here for you..."

Sob... Sob...

She broke down in that instance and was weeping uncontrollably as he pulled her head into his chest.

After a long tearful moment, Nicholas realized that Alicia had finally settled down and was exhausted. He picked her up and laid her on her bed. He also placed a pillow under her head and took a few tissues to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Alright, calm down. Your eyes are already swollen. Are you hungry? I'll get you a bowl of soup and something to eat! You've been crying for quite a while now, so go get some rest."

He pinched her face and stood up. He then headed out of the room to give her some space.
