Gluey Love Between Us
Chapter 2280

Alice frowned and looked at her daughter, who was crying sadly. She couldn't figure out why such a healthy man had suddenly fallen ill. "Mom, go and see Dad. He's really uncomfortable. I called him a few times but he didn't respond. Will he be okay?" Juliet was very worried. Alice was supposed to go to the company. Now that the company had switched to focus on media, there were many things to deal with. Brenden had just called her and told her that there was a meeting that she needed to attend that day.

At the moment, she could only go to see Henrick first.

"Well, Juliet, don't cry. I will go and have a look first."

Alice took her daughter's hand and went to Henrick's house.

At this time, Mr. Davies also noticed that Henrick was sick and was making a call to arrange for a doctor to come over.

He turned around and saw Alice and the sad-looking Juliet.

Mr. Davies said, "Miss Klein, Mr. Henrick's room is on the third floor."

Alice pursed her lips slightly and nodded. After saying "thank you", she took her daughter upstairs.

She had already gone to Henrick's room before, but there was no one at home the day she came.

When they reached Henrick's room, they saw that he laid there quietly, his brows tightly knitted. He would occasionally frown in pain and his face was covered in sweat.

He was not covered with a quilt and he was wearing light blue pajamas. His tall figure looked very fragile at the moment.

"Henrick, can you hear me?" Alice called him softly, but he didn't have much of a reaction.

Henrick seemed to hear Alice's voice in a daze. He desperately wanted to see her and apologize to her but he didn't have the strength to open his eyes.

"Allie, I'm sorry!" His voice was dry. Maybe it was because he was sick, but there was a touch of grievance as well.

Alice touched his forehead. It was very hot and his hands were sweaty. When she heard him apologize and looked at his flushed face, her heart ached. "What are you sorry for?" She could not help but ask.

"I'm sorry, Allie. I shouldn't have been so rude to you that night. I didn't want to, but I didn't even know what I was doing. For you, in my heart, it was fate that had arranged it all." Although he was in a daze, what he said was true. He really heard Alice's voice. He was desperate for her forgiveness.

Alice knew that he was referring to the night when they were in the hotel. This b*stard, he was sick yet he recalled something that had happened so long ago.

"Alice, don't leave me, okay?" Henrick whispered.

Alice, who was sitting by the side, heard him clearly.

Her heart tightened and she kept looking out of the door. Mr. Davies had already contacted the doctor, but why hadn't he come yet? This man was delirious because he was ill. Now, whatever he said was based on his innermost thoughts.

Giada had also told her that Henrick would only sleep as long as he was ill.

After waiting for about ten minutes, a young man came in with a medical kit led by Mr. Davies.

"Dr. Mulroney, please take a look. Mr. Henrick was fine last night, but he fell ill early this morning." Mr. Davies was also anxious. Henrick was fine when he returned home the night back. Why did he catch a cold after a night's sleep?

It was obvious that this young man lacked exercise.

Dr. Mulroney nodded and glanced at Alice. She also nodded and greeted him, then stepped aside.

Dr. Mulroney carefully examined Henrick. After more than ten minutes, he said, "He's probably overworked and did not keep an eye on what he has been eating so he caught a cold. His blood circulation is not good which is causing ischemia, hypoxia, dizziness, headache, and sleepiness."

Josue, who followed behind, saw that Alice was also there and spoke up, "Dr. Mulroney, Mr. Henrick hasn't had a good sleep for almost two months."

Dr. Mulroney said, "It is related to his emotions. He seems to be calling 'Allie' in a daze. Who is this person?"

Alice was speechless.

Josue narrowed his eyes and looked at Alice. "Miss Klein, since you left River City, Mr. Henrick has been constantly blaming himself. He never rested well at night and was busy filming during the day. That's why he fell ill." Josue seized the opportunity to put on a show for Henrick.

Alice looked at Josue silently. It seemed that she had something to do with Henrick's illness.

She lowered her head and remained silent. Juliet gently pulled her mother's hand and said, "Mom, don't go to the company today, okay? Dad needs you."

Alice lowered her head and looked at her daughter, who was looking at her mother with her big watery eyes. If she didn't agree, she would look like a bad person.

"I..."

"Allie, Allie..." Henrick didn't know why, but he kept calling out for Alice.

At this time, Dr. Mulroney had already given him an injection.

He looked up at Alice and said, "Miss Klein, Mr. Henrick is not in very good condition. It seems that he is worried about you."

Alice looked pale. Why was this b*stard's mental endurance so bad? She thought.

She had experienced such a painful thing, yet she had not been depressed in recent years. He had only suffered for a few days, yet he was so sick that he could not get up. In the end, Alice agreed to stay and take care of Henrick.

After everyone left, only Alice and Henrick were left in the room.

Looking at the sweat on his pale forehead, she got up and went to the bathroom. She brought out a basin of hot water and helped him wipe the sweat off his forehead.

It was really hot. She opened all the windows, and turned on the air conditioner, but it still felt very hot.

She was used to the climate in Lemmon City, so she didn't feel that it was too hot, but she still sweated profusely.

Beneath her hand, Henrick's light blue pajamas had been soaked with sweat.

Alice spent the whole afternoon wiping his sweat off Henrick's forehead. It wasn't until the three bottles of the IV drip were finished that his body temperature slowly dropped, and Alice sat down and rested for a while.

At that moment, she looked at the man lying quietly on the bed in a presumptuous and reckless manner. His features were still so handsome, and his lips were very attractive and pleasing to the eye.

She couldn't help stretching out her hand and gently tracing over his facial features. His face had already been imprinted in her heart.

"Henrick, although I hate you for hurting me so much, I still hope that you can be healthy and happy for the rest of your life."

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Henrick was woken up by hunger.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Alice sitting by the bed, looking at him. Alice's eyes flashed, and there was joy in her eyes. "Allie." Henrick was afraid that it was an illusion, so he cried out, but his voice was hoarse and unpleasant to the ear.

It was as bleak as the autumn rain.

"Yes! Are you feeling better now?" Alice asked, but there was no expression on her face.

Henrick smiled happily. There seemed to be tenderness in his eyes as he said, "With you here, I won't feel any pain anywhere."

Alice ignored him and asked, "Do you want some water?"

Henrick looked at her with joy. "Yes, I'm thirsty."
