Frederick turned around and left to answer the phone call. "It's me. What is it?" It was Levi. He said that Christian's health suddenly deteriorated and he was sent to the hospital. He didn't dare to tell Mrs. Clements but didn't know who else to call, so he called Frederick. The sudden news caused Frederick's mind to stop working for a couple of seconds before he replied. "Alright, I understand! I'll head over right away!" Standing at a little distance, Alicia got a general idea of what happened. "Is it dad?" She asked. "What's wrong with him?" "He suddenly had chest tightness and fainted. There was no one at home. He's currently being resuscitated at the hospital! I need to go and see what's going on. We'll talk when I cback!" Her mind was also in a mess. She subconsciously grabbed his hand and said, "Letgo with you!" "Stay here for now! Letcheck on the situation first. I'll call you if I need you!" He put on his coat again, lowered his head, and kissed her. Then he hurried out of the door. Before she could calm down, her cell phone suddenly lit up. It was a long and strange phone number. She couldn't help but shiver as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her. As soon as she pressed the answer button, an unusual strange voice sounded.
"You seem to have forgotten our warning! You broke the rules and leaked the news. Say goodbye to your father!" The strange voice said.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she heard the sound of a car starting at the stime. After a while, beads of cold sweat appeared on Alicia's forehead.

Why do you care how I get it? Since you know my background so well, you should know that Frederick cares aboutvery much! It's not impossible for him to give up the land for me!" Alicia said that all in one breath, afraid that the other person would hang up. Her eyes kept looking around, and she was creeped out.
Did these people set up surveillance on her? How did they know her whereabouts so well? She was just about to tell Frederick, and he had been transferred away directly, and then the phone call came. Could it be that Christian's hospitalization was also their doing? If they were so capable, why would they go through so much trouble? Why didn't they directly ask Frederick for money and the land? Why did they choose to beat around the bush? Alicia becvery tense as she knew the person she was dealing with this twas difficult to handle! "You take us for fools? Frederick is such a cunning person, and he is very famous in the business world! His greatest ability is to escape by sheer luck! What's the point of asking you for the bidding proposal if he finds out? You broke the rules, so your punishment this tis that your father will be in a coma! If you do it again, prepare to say goodbye to your father!" "Don't..." A beeping sound could be heard from the phone. Alicia tried to dial back, but it did not exist! What was going on? She tried a few more times, but they ended with the sresult. Feeling a little nervous, Alicia called Marshall. "What?" Alicia gasped.
Her father was really in a coma? Marshall started to explain, "He was still fine in the afternoon. We didn't know what happened just now, but suddenly, he was twitching and foaming at the mouth. We tried our best to save him. He's out of danger now, but he's still in a coma! We suspect that maybe a certain substance caused a chain reaction upon contact with the toxins in his body, resulting in this occurrence! Don't worry, I will find a way. For the tbeing, I will inject snutrients into your father to prevent this from happening again..." After putting down the phone, Alicia felt as if her whole body had been hollowed out. She sat on the sofa, paralyzed.
Was there really no other way? Was it a coincidence or someone was watching her and Frederick's every move? How did they do it? How could it be so coincidental? Just when she was about to tell Frederick, they already knew. So they immediately transferred him away, and her father's condition worsened! She couldn't believe that her father was in a coma. Alicia was at the point of a mental breakdown. She didn't dare take anymore risks! She sat on the sofa motionlessly for a very long time.
Wasn't their goal the land in the west city? Why were they so afraid of her telling Frederick? And why did they restrict her methods of obtaining the bidding proposal? Would they only give her the antidote after they've succeeded bidding? How could she take her father's life as a joke! If she told Frederick, would he deceive, lie or fool her for the sake of the land? No, he wouldn't! If anything happened to her father, she would never forgive him for the rest of her life! She felt that he would never betray her! Why did this matter make her feel like she was as in a dilemma? She felt that it was odd! Her father would definitely be fine if she hadn't obtained the bidding proposalSimilarly, she would not hand over anything if she did not get the antidote! It was just that she could not take any more risks now.
She needed to take precautions, she had no other choice! As for her husband, how should she handle him? When her eyes fell on the flash drive next to her, an idea cup. She picked up the phone and made a call.
"Miss Castle, it's me. Can you doa favor?" By the tFrederick cback, it was almost midnight, but Alicia was still on the sofa. As soon as she saw him, she got up and ran up to him.
"Hubby, is dad alright? Is there anything wrong?"

Go and take a shower first!" Seeing that he had returned, everything should be fine now. Just when Alicia was about to move, Frederick held her waist.
"It's fine, I'm not hungry! Dad's fine now. We don't know what he ate that suddenly shot up his blood pressure, but he's stable now. It's already so late, why haven't you slept? Is there anything urgent that I need to know?"
"No! It's good that he's fine! I just wanted to wait for you to cback.
I wouldn't feel at ease if I didn't know what's going on! As for my matter, let's talk about it next time. Quick, go take a shower and rest!" Pushing him into the bathroom, Alicia quickly tidied up the bed and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When he returned to the bed, Alicia threw herself into his arms. "Hubby, do you believe me?" "Of course!" Frederick stretched out his hand and narrowed his eyes, but unconsciously hugged her tightly.
As she was lying on his chest, she said with a faint smile on her face, "Hubby, I'm so happy in your arms! Promiseone thing, okay?" "Okay!" Alicia took his hand and wrote,
"You have to remember that I would never do anything to disservice you, Iwould never betray you, and I would never hurt you! You must remember, trustFrederick vaguely sensed that something was wrong. He slowly opened his eyes and stroked her hair as if he was caressing a small pet lying on his chest. "What's wrong? Do you have something on your mind?" It was obvious that she had something to say, but why didn't she speak up?
