Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Chapter 120

While helping Grandma to calm down, Hallie looked like she about to break down in tears.

"Are you planning to kill Grandma? An outsider is an outsider after all. Grandma loves you so much and she treats you so well! Please call the doctor quickly..."

The atmosphere of the scene became tensed as she was shouting.

At this time, everyone in the Clements family was standing by the door, blocking it. All of them glared at Alicia with death stares.

Alicia was pushed, thus she tried to stabilize herself as she shook her head. She wanted to explain, but out of the blue, her gaze met a pair of icy-cold blue eyes. Her heart skipped a beat as a trace of inexplicable surprise flashed across her face.

Frederick? When did he come back from the business trip?

Penny spoke and she chided Alicia once again.

"How can you let Mrs. Clements eat that kind of food? Even if you are trying to show filial piety, you can't just do whatever you want. You might ruin her health! This is a life-and-death matter. She just had an operation on her stomach!"

"This is ridiculous! The whole ward smells like meat! How much meat did you feed her and how greasy was the meat?"

"Oh, why isn't Miranda here? How can you make the decision on your own?"

"How many days have you been feeding it to Grandma? We were all preparing to get her discharged from the hospital! Look at what you have done!"

"You are so inhumane! How can you do this to Grandma?"

"Grandma is not feeling well. Someone, please call a doctor!"

Hallie and Penny were both reproaching Alicia in unison. Although Mr. Clements and the rest of the Clements family were silent the whole time, their expressions were obviously displeased as well. They seemed extremely crossed at Alicia!

In an instant, it seemed that Alicia had become the target of criticism. For a long time, she was unable to defend herself.

For the first time in forever, Frederick didn’t say anything to defend her. Alicia could feel that he was upset and was blaming her for whatever was happening. For a moment, she was being isolated and she felt helpless.

At this time, Mrs. Clements was still coughing nonstop. She waved her hand but she couldn't say anything.

As all of them were heading into the ward one after another, Alicia was forced out of the ward. She wanted to explain to Frederick when he walked past her, but he just gave her a cold shoulder.

She felt wronged, yet she was extremely helpless.

At this time, the doctor was being called over to the ward. When Miranda heard the noises coming from the ward, she ran back in a hurry.

"Mrs. Clements, what's wrong?"

As soon as Miranda spoke, Hallie stood up in an instant and spoke coldly.

"Miranda, where the hell have you been? How could you leave your job without serving Grandma during her mealtime? This b*tch has been serving meat to Grandma every day and she's about to kill Grandma by doing so. Did you know that?"

"Miss-"

Just as she was about to say something, Mrs. Clements stopped coughing and roared angrily in an instant, "Are you cursing me? What kind of attitude was that? How dare you talk to your sister-in-law like that?"

"Mom, Halley is just concerned about you. Why do you always protect an outsider? You should know who is really the one treating you well. You have to think about it carefully! Don't judge the book by its cover!"

As Penny spoke, it was obvious that she was carrying criticisms in her words. She even glanced around and squinted at Alicia!

Mrs. Clements was extremely unhappy and she hit the bed forcefully.

"What are you guys doing? Who do you think you are? It was me who demanded meat for my meals. What does it have to do with Ally? All of you get out of the way. Alicia, come here!"

She gestured for Alicia to come over. When Alicia got close to the bed, she pulled her to sit on the bed. Mrs. Clements was holding her hand all the time while she pointed her index finger at each and everyone in the ward as she voiced with anger. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

"Do you think that I don't know who are the ones who really care about me and who do not? I have stayed here for so long but none of you, not even my biological children, have taken care of me every single day. None of you have cleaned my excretes on my behalf or turned me over to clean

my body. Have you ever asked me whether I feel pain or bored? Have any of you talked to me in the middle of the night?"

Mrs. Clements was extremely furious that her tone was harsh.

"Ally was the one who did all of that for me! Don't tell me that you are busy. Ally has to work too, yet she has been doing all her work here! I know that all of you are rich, but so am I. Hiring help for me does not make any difference. Just because she sends food, doesn't mean she's truly concerned about your health, does it?"

"Ever since I was admitted into the hospital, Alicia was the only one who has been taking care of me. She even signed the papers for me to have an operation. If I have placed my trust in you, I would have been dead already! I was the one who wanted to eat meat. Therefore, if anything happens, I am the one to blame. No one is allowed to reprimand Ally!"

Hallie didn't expect Mrs. Clements to be so protective of Alicia. Hence, Hallie gritted her teeth and retorted, "Grandma, you must have been brainwashed by her! She is here to hurt you!"

"You, shut up! You are my granddaughter and yet you have never even peeled an apple for me. Whenever you are here, you would go on your phone in less than two minutes! Do you think I'm blind? You didn't even do anything but you still want to pick on her. If anyone of you is going to blame Ally, you have to clean my excretes for a month first. Then, only you can have the right to say anything. Otherwise, just shut your mouth!"

"Grandma, don't be angry. It will hurt you..."

Feeling consoled that Mrs. Clements was defending her, Alicia kept patting Mrs. Clements' back. However, she still couldn't help but interrupt.

At this time, Miranda couldn't bear to see what was happening. Hence, she chipped in with her remarks.

"Sir, Madam, you have misunderstood this! Mrs. Clements didn't eat meat. She only consumed different kinds of mushrooms. Miss Blanchard noticed that Mrs. Clements was in a bad mood and didn't want to eat anything but meat. Therefore, she was afraid that it would affect her recovery. She was also afraid that Mrs. Clements would be suspicious of it. Thus, she purposely told me to leave the room in order to deceive her. She used mushrooms and disguised them as meat. She even used meat broth to replicate the flavor of the meat. In fact, her plan was to let Mrs. Clements have more vegetables. That was why she came up with this idea."

"If you don't believe it, you can have a closer look at the food. It's all made with mushrooms. We have already asked for the doctor's permission. He told us that Mrs. Clements can have some light broth. Miss Blanchard made many attempts and I have tested them numerous times. We only brought it over for Mrs. Clements after making sure it was perfect!"

After Miranda finished speaking, everyone's face turned red as they were embarrassed by their actions. Mrs. Clements was deeply touched as she held Alicia's hand.

"I didn't even know that it wasn't meat! I am so sorry, Ally, for troubling you like this!"

At this moment, Frederick's gaze had changed dramatically when he looked at Alicia.

At this time, the attending physician also flipped through the medical report and spoke.

"Yes, in terms of diet, Miss Blanchard did ask me about it specifically! I think it's just a misunderstanding! The patient's medical report has come out and she has recovered in all aspects. Everything looks good! She can go through the discharge formalities now! In the future, she still has to pay attention to her diet. It still needs to be light and balanced. Of course, she can finally have some meat!"
